Looking at the Japanese market it has been hard to miss JTG’s success story. The pachinko-like slot developer faced heavy expectations after its Hawaiian Dream release which is truly one of the most popular games in Japan so far.
Amazingly, JTG managed to land in line with the expectations and the Battle Dwarf release had everything a pachinko player could wish for, which was reflected in the Japanese casino lobbies. From the release date at the 12th of July, players could dive into an action-packed fantasy world with trolls, goblins and dragons!
NetEnt’s highly anticipated sequel to the cult status game Dead or Alive hit all markets with a bang! The game quickly landed top positions in most major casino lobbies at the time of the release.
Released on the 23rd of April 2019, players enjoyed amazing gameplay, pristine visuals and perfectly matched soundtrack. The expectations on the release were huge, and this time the NetEnt team scored a home-run and landed above the players’ expectations!
On the 11th of April, Red Tiger managed to take premium positions in the Japanese online casino lobbies. The gothic-themed slot Devil’s Number used spooky excitement, together with an excellent Free Spin feature to entertain the Japanese players.
