“Experts in Delivering Magic”. That’s the tagline on the Ino Games website homepage, the place where this fairly recent addition to the gaming world sets out its perspective and mission statement. Creativity and innovation, distinctive graphics and smooth gameplay, immersive worlds and challenging, thrilling features - it’s all the stuff we like to hear. The Ino Games library may only have just passed half a dozen slots, but it’s already making its mark. Click here to read more.
Ino Games Background/History
You don’t have to look too far back to find the origin of Ino Games. It had its real-world launch in 2019, but the current website only appeared in 2022, so it’s still very much in the new, fresh and exciting stage. That does make it tricky to make a full assessment of the developer’s strengths and weaknesses, as there are still only seven slots available to play. There are some promising signs, though, especially when it’s already making big partnerships. When the Big Mighty Bear slot launched, it was available exclusively in Casumo’s online casinos, whilst Cleopatra’s Golden Spells is powered by Microgaming.
Ino Games is a South American developer with headquarters in Florianópolis, capital of Brazil’s Santa Catarina state, and it aims to bring that Latin American ethos and warm, passionate approach to its slots. It also has an international outlook, with another base on the Isle of Man, and its games take inspiration from different cultures and landscapes all around the world. Its slots come in unusual formats, not just the standard 5x3 layout, and even common bonus features such as free spins often have an extra twist.
Top Ino Games Slots
Cleopatra’s Golden Spells
One of the first and biggest titles in the Ino Games stable is Cleopatra’s Golden Spells. Egypt’s most famous queen is no stranger to the reels, so it takes something special to make this theme distinctive. With its unusual 5x6 layout, random cash prizes through the Bazillion Cash feature, the titular spells unlocking multiplier prizes, the unique Pyramid of Fortune in free spins and a pick game with its own jackpots, Cleopatra’s Golden Spells just might do it.
Big Mighty Bear
Big Mighty Bear is another of Ino Games’ most famous slots. This time we’re in a woodland, and a mystical one at that, with atmospheric lightning. Just how big and mighty is the bear of the title? He can span the second, third, fourth and fifth reels all at the same time. Other features include getting the honey re-spins and following them by licking your lips at the sweet bonus, where multipliers join the guaranteed wins to improve your chances. Even reel one is special and able to change its format and with it your ways to win.
Cash Printer Heist
Who doesn’t love a heist? Martin and Lola are on a mission, and you can join these two distinctive characters as they take an unusual approach to the traditional bank job. Rather than raiding the vault and snatching all the gold, they’ve headed straight to the source, finding a printer to keep producing sheet after sheet of cash. Multipliers keep increasing every time you land a losing spin, and they could end up combining with a re-spin bonus. The other bonus game is the Cash Printer Bonus, where you get to push the print button yourself.
Leprechaun Strike
No self-respecting slot developer would have a library without at least one Irish-themed game. This category of slots is always popular. Leprechaun Strike has the kind of imagery we’d expect, with rainbows and pots of gold, and it’s also pretty well stacked in the features and jackpots department. Cash Columns, Cashpots, Strike Wins, Bummer the unicorn and a leprechaun with a flute and a vacuum cleaner (?!) that he uses to boost your prizes - there are some unique additions too.
Payout Time
Maximum security prisons aren’t the most popular slot setting, but they do have their niche. Payout Time has a dark and menacing atmosphere compared to the bright, colourful environments of many other Ino Games slots. It still has its own range of innovative features, including double symbols, free spins with extra random wilds, a jackpot prize and, perhaps most interesting of all, the cafeteria swap bonus. If you want to pick up some increasing multipliers, you also need to pick up shivs from your fellow inmates and be willing to bribe a guard or two.
Fox Fortuna Multiplier Hunt
This isn’t set on any old farm: it’s out in the Italian countryside where sunflowers grow row on row and a mischievous little fox is looking for treasure, all set around an unusual 7x7 reel layout. You could win up to 4000x your bet thanks to symbols that pay from anywhere, opportunities for re-spins and golden egg multipliers that increase in value during free spins. Free spins take place at night, you see, and that’s when the hunting fox is in his natural element. What will you have pocketed by the time the sun rises again?
Bling Bling Penguin
Are penguins the first animal you think of when you think of bling? Probably not. Nevertheless, here’s the most bling penguin to have ever graced your eyeballs, with golden jacket, gold chain necklace and even a golden crown. That’s a lot of gold. This is Ino Games’ first Link&Win slot, a bonus feature where you can collect cash prizes, jackpots and upgrades up to 10,000x your original wager. There’s a bonus wheel for you to spin too, with its own prizes and jackpot, plus a classic free spins round with an additional gamble feature.
Responsible Gambling
If you take a look at Ino Games website, you’ll see a cautionary note about responsible gambling. Whilst you’re the one ultimately in charge of keeping your gaming under control, particularly through sensible budgeting, it’s always worth checking whether the developer or casino allows you to include your limits as fixed stopping points or to use timeout/reality check/self-exclusion features to stop you getting carried away.
