Play’n GO unveils new arcade-style crash game Bucking Rider

iGaming content provider Play'n GO has launched Bucking Rider, an arcade-style crash game featuring the studio's proprietary Crashback mechanic. Designed to bring excitement and simplicity to players, as the company said in a press release, the title invites players "to test their nerve on a wild bull ride that can soar up to 5000x the bet."

Bucking Rider swaps traditional slot reels for fast-paced decision-making. As the multiplier ticks up from 1x to a potential 5000x, players must choose the "perfect moment" to cash out, or risk getting thrown as the bull bucks the rider. However, with the Crashback feature making a return, there's a second shot on the line. If players cash out, the ride keeps going, allowing them to hop back in for a shot at a bigger multiplier.

"The game's dusty rodeo aesthetic and snappy animations bring the tension of a live arena to players. There's no need to chase symbols or paylines – Bucking Rider is about pure risk versus reward, putting the reins directly in the player's hands," the release noted. 

This release builds on the foundations laid by Miner Donkey Rider. Fans of arcade-style titles and casino newcomers alike will find Bucking Rider a striking mix of skill, timing and spectacle, the company added. 

George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play'n GO, said: "Bucking Rider is designed to shake things up. With the Crashback feature, players aren't just watching – they're making split-second decisions that can turn into serious rewards. It's a bold format that expands what a casino game can be."
