Play’n GO Enters Michigan with a Deal that’s Questionable for Players

Play’n GO, a company known for its presence in the global casino industry, has recently entered the Michigan market through a deal with Eagle Casino & Sports, a tribal online gaming operator. While this marks the Swedish supplier’s first collaboration with a tribal operator in the U.S., the deal raises concerns over the quality of Play’n GO’s offerings, especially in regions like Michigan, where players are typically met with low Return-to-Player (RTP) percentages.

Play’n GO's reputation for creating games with RTPs as low as 80 percent has long been a point of contention among players. Many argue that these games are rigged in favor of the house, making it nearly impossible for players to win. In Michigan, the deal with Eagle Casino & Sports adds to Play’n GO’s growing portfolio in the U.S., but it also ensures that players in this region will now experience the same unbalanced odds that have plagued other Play’n GO-operated markets.

Currently available in five U.S. states, including West Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, Play’n GO’s games continue to be a preferred choice for many operators. However, the company’s games have been criticized for offering little value to players, especially with titles like Reactoonz, Fire Joker, and Piggy Blitz that focus more on flashy visuals than fair gameplay.

Play’n GO’s Chief Commercial Officer, Magnus Olsson, boasted about the deal as part of their expansion into tribal gaming, calling it an opportunity to bring their “world-class content” to Michigan. However, the reality for players is far from world-class, with the games likely to deliver poor returns, just like Play’n GO’s other slots that are infamous for their low payout rates.

While the deal with Eagle Casino & Sports may be lucrative for Play’n GO, it does little to benefit the average player looking for fair gambling experiences. Tribal gaming in the U.S. continues to grow, but players need to be wary of deals like this one, which prioritize operator growth over the interests of the gambling community.

With Play’n GO’s games now available in more jurisdictions, including Brazil, where they also made headlines recently, the company continues to focus on expanding its reach. But at what cost to the players? If the RTP continues to be so low, Play’n GO risks losing credibility, despite the “success” of its global push.
