ICONIC COMICITY AND IRRIVERENCE FROM ITALIAN CHARACTER ‘PIERINO’ IN THE NEW SLOT LAUNCHED ON PLANETWIN365 FAST GAMES
The title, inspired by the movie character of actor Alvaro Vitali, is available in a pocket version for mobile funsigned Giocaonline
He is one of the most loved characters for at least two generations, among the symbols of the Italian comedy, where he made his way into National imagination to be the pestiferous prankster with ready joke, gaffes and goliardic sketches that are still in the encyclopedia of Italian hilarity and today he has also become the main theme of the new slot Pierino tenta la fortuna, produced by Giocaonline and available in the Planetwin365’s Fast Games offer.
“Along with preferences, the players’ habits also change – commented Troy Cox, SKS365‘s Chief Commercial Officer – This is why it is important not only to think about what our customers love most, but also how they prefer to enjoy it. Thus was born the decision to make this title the first and only one designed specifically for the flash entertainment and available anywhere and anytime with a simple touch of a smartphone. Finally, the evocative features of this slot, are the cherry on the top of an increasingly tailored offer for the italian customers. Likewise, the recent launch of the iconic Skill Games, Italy’s most traditional card games, such as Scopa, Briscola, Tresette and Burraco, are also produced by the digital master of Giocaonline.”
Pierino tenta la fortuna, in fact, is the first slot conceived exclusively for the Planetwin365 Fast Games environment: a game system with 5 reels and 30 paying lines, with the possibility of inning three special games: Free Spin, Bonus and Jackpot. The scenario is the classic one in which Alvaro Vitali juggled in the role of the terrible Pierino, the school environment with all the typical elements: from the grumpy and irascible headmaster to the sexy teacher, from the blackboard to the keyhole – which represents the Bonus of the game – right down to the iconic slingshot.
“We are proud to launch the first Fast Game slot integrated into Planetwin365’s mobile sportsbook – commented Tommaso Ferranti Giocaonline’s CEO – ‘Pierino tenta la fortuna’ has always been one of our flagship titles and landing on this very important platform, reaffirms the importance and recognisability of this timeless product. The partnership with the SKS365 team is further strengthened, I want to thank them for keeping high their confidence in our solutions and for their attention to the innovative products we offer.”
Pierino tenta la fortuna is currently available for Android devices and on the website’s mobile version for smartphones and tablets.
