Slots Lead the Way
The majority of games in this collection are slot machines, as is typically the case for most software platforms. In total, there are about 25 machines available at this time, most of which feature 3D graphics, with a few even offering up animated characters on screen. This collection is rather feature-rich, with plenty of jackpots for players to chase along with the traditional special bonus options like free spins games, multipliers, stick symbols, and so on.
This collection features some very interesting graphical styles, many of which feature sharp, angular designs that definitely stand out from the crowd. Most of the themes are relatively standard, though there’s enough creativity here that you won’t feel like you’re simply playing clones of slots you’ve played before at other sites.
For instance, those who are very much into their horoscopes can give the 25-line game Zodiac a try, where you’ll run into representations of all the astrological signs while hoping to attract sticky wilds or get into the special constellation matching bonus round. Zombie Vegas is a 243 ways to win machine that combines the classic gambling feel of a Vegas vacation with the modern popularity of undead fiction. For a more relaxed look, players can try out Summer Holidays, which takes players on a beach vacation in which they can win free spins or uncover bonus prizes hiding under sand buckets.
Hitting the Tables
Tuko Productions also offers clients a small mix of table games, ones that are a mix between classics that are popular worldwide and some others that are specifically known in the Italian market. This is something we see a lot of in this country, as there are some traditional games that are popular in Italy, and which it seems most providers don’t want to risk leaving out of their collections.
When it comes to games that are more familiar to a global audience, you can find blackjack, baccarat, Red Dog, and a European roulette offering among this library of games. The Italian contingent includes both Trente et Quarante and Sette e Mezzo, the former of which is popular throughout Continental Europe, while the latter is an Italian variant on blackjack that is known as “seven and a half” in English. There’s also Hi-Lo, a simple guessing game where players win if they can predict if the next card from the deck will be higher or lower than those currently on the table.
Video Poker
While the video poker selection isn’t the largest part of the Tuko selection, it’s still a nice addition that helps flesh out this portfolio. In total, there are six different machines available, all of which will be familiar to anyone who has played these sorts of games before. Options include Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, Tens or Better, Deuces Wild, All-American, and Joker Wild. Each machine offers players the option to play in single-handed mode, but also with up to 25 simultaneous hands in multi-handed mode.
Mobile Options
While the mobile version of the Tuko Productions software isn’t quite as robust as its desktop platform, there are several slot machines that have been developed in HTML5 in order to make them available to players on smartphones and tablets. These include the aforementioned Zodiac, along with several other notable titles like Sweet Candy, Soldier of Rome, Space Diamond, and Blood Night.
An Italian Treat
Outside of Italy, it’s probably true that very few gamblers have heard of Tuko. Even inside the country, the fact that the company is very new means that only players on a limited number of sites have seen their games, and many may have not even noticed what company these new games have come from.
But we expect this to change in the next few years. This studio has produced a surprisingly large amount of content in a short period of time, and appears to have done so without sacrificing much – if anything – in the way of quality. That makes them a firm that we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on in the Italian market. And considering that the company has stated that they want to branch out into other jurisdictions as well, we think this could be an up-and-coming group that is poised to become an international force in the future.
