Play’n GO enters crash game genre with Miner Donkey Rider launch

iGaming content provider Play'n GO has introduced Miner Donkey Rider, its first take on the crash game genre that also marks the debut of the CrashBack feature. The arcade-style crash title follows a miner and his trusty donkey as they navigate a volatile cave packed with hidden riches. 

In the game, players must decide when to cash out as the multiplier steadily climbs. If they wait too long, the miner's dynamite will trigger an explosive end to the round. The game introduces an element of decision-making, along with a second chance at winning with the CrashBack mechanic.

According to the provider, CrashBack is set to "transform the way players experience crash games." Those who cash out before the round ends now have the option to re-engage, diving back into the game at the risk of the ever-growing multiplier. This feature amplifies excitement and strategy, says the company, giving players greater control over their gameplay.

While Miner Donkey Rider is the first to introduce the CrashBack feature, other mining-themed games in the company's portfolio share elements with the new game, including Miner Donkey Trouble, Shamrock Miner, and the Gemix series.

"We are always exploring new ways to evolve classic mechanics, and Miner Donkey Rider is a perfect example of this," said George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play'n GO. "The CrashBack feature introduces a dynamic layer of strategy and risk, setting this title apart in the crash game genre."

Miner Donkey Rider marks the first in a planned series of CrashBack games, setting a new category in Play'n GO's slot library. "This title cements the company's position as a leader in delivering fresh and engaging gameplay experiences to players worldwide," the company said. “Play Miner Donkey Rider now and put your instincts to the test in this high-stakes mining escapade."

Earlier this month, Play'n GO unveiled Mystery Egg Surprise, a new 3-reel slot release with an Easter-inspired theme and 5 fixed pay lines. During the game, players uncover hidden treats with each winning combination. Landing multiple Scatter Symbols enhances the experience, triggering Free Spins and unleashing bigger surprises.
