GameArt is scheduled to release Diego El Pibe De Oro (Diego the Golden Boy) on January 26th. The world-famous football legend, Maradona, died in November 2020. According to the company, they started the development of the slot while he was still alive and delayed the release after his death out of respect for the family.
Obviously, the developer uses the definition of "Golden Boy" in a literal sense. The slot focuses not on sporting achievements, but on luxury – gold rings, crosses and other attributes of wealth. The slot was licensed through Applovesoft. According to official data, this is only the first of a series of slots about the football legend.
Despite the fact that the football player ended his sports career a long time ago, he still has a huge number of fans around the world. There is no doubt that the slot will interest many players due to its theme. However, do not forget about the unpleasant stories associated with GameArt.
In 2018, they admitted that they tweaked the demo modes of the slots. At the same time, the Maltese regulator stated that it had nothing to do with the developer. And in 2020, they tried to intimidate the thematic resource with a lawsuit so that they would remove information that was unsightly for them.
It is amazing that the company, despite all these scandals, continues to move forward calmly. They even recently joined Yggdrasil's YG Masters program.
