Rapidly expanding content provider takes players on a thrilling anime journey in Infinity Pull

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming invites players to embark on an enchanting anime adventure with the launch of the mesmerising Infinity Pull. Step into a vibrant realm where three captivating goddesses await, each offering unique gameplay and winning opportunities.

Infinity Pull gives players unparalleled control over their gaming experience, enabling them to choose their path from the outset. Players select one of three enchanting waifus: the Blue, Purple, or the Golden. Each waifu represents a different volatility level, with the RTP ranging from 92 to 99%.

Gacha gameplay mechanics were the main inspiration behind Infinity Pull, with the BGaming design team drawing on their love of the genre. The game asks players to wager on cards revealed by the chosen waifu. These cards can award exciting multipliers and instant cash prizes, as well as collectable characters. The game’s unique collection aspect makes it endlessly replayable, with players eager to return and complete their sets. Every 25 duplicate cards collected also reveal an additional chapter of the chosen waifu’s bio, enriching the game’s narrative experience.

Beyond its unique gameplay and mechanics, Infinity Pull also offers flexibility for operators, with the game’s reskinnable design making it perfect for seasonal promotions and themed events.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Design Team Lead at BGaming, said: “We can’t wait to see how players react to what we have achieved with Infinity Pull. What’s great about it is that you don’t need to have ever played a gacha game to enjoy it. It can be picked up and played by anyone.

At BGaming, we are always trying to push the boundaries and try something new. We believe Infinity Pull has the potential to really capture the imagination of players and inspire a whole new take on casual gaming.”
