Even though Montreal Cocktail Week is almost over, you can cash in on some great cocktail and game pairings whenever you want in our EGD section! This week’s pairing features a delectably sweet blend of Asian flavours and Western mixology combined with an exciting three-reel game: the lychee martini and Dragon Wheel. Playground’s lychee martini offers a new take on a traditional drink by bringing together vodka, cranberry juice and lychee liqueur. Blended together, this drink’s ingredients offer a balance between the sweetness of the lychee liqueur and the tart punch of the cranberry juice before the vodka, a wedge of lime and a lychee take it to the next level. The lychee martini is best enjoyed while taking a spin on Dragon Wheel, an exciting game where gold dragons can lead players down the road to bonus spins and big wins. This three-reel, five-line game features the amazing Dragon […]

The Rum and Coke drink was created in Cuba in the early 20th century, when Coca-Cola started exporting their sugary soft drink to the country. The drink’s traditional name, Cuba Libre (Free Cuba), is a reminder of the strong American presence in Cuba in those years. It wasn’t long before the Cuba Libre made its way north to the United States, and from there everywhere in the world. The drink, simply made with rum, cola, ice, and served with a lime wedge, reminds of hot Cuba and the warm summer nights by the beach. The icy Rum and Coke may be of great help when playing Flaming Hot, a game that will make you sweat! Five reels with 4 positions each will take you to a world of fruits punctuated with dollar signs, bars, and of course, 7s! The true fire comes on when five 7 symbols line up on […]

Named after a beach near Santiago de Cuba, the daiquiri family of cocktails traces their origins to the turn of the twentieth century. Since their creation, they have only gained popularity with each passing year and now have a global status as cool, refreshing drinks that are ideal in the hot summer months. Playground’s drink menu features the strawberry daiquiri, available with or without rum, and it should be your drink of choice when things start heating up. Much like the daiquiri, the pin-up model has iconic status in twentieth century culture; they are attention grabbing, easily recognized and have inspired some of Playground’s many exciting offerings. The Pin Up Queens title brings exciting 5-reel action across 30 fixed lines where features like Stacked Symbols and Free Spins can lead to huge payouts! The classic imagery will take you back to a bygone era but the potential of a top […]

Crown Royal is a Canadian whiskey that was first introduced in 1939 as a tribute to British royalty, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who were then touring around Canada. It is now the best-selling Canadian whiskey in the United States, and an important ingredient of countless alcoholic concoctions, including the famous Crown and ginger. Versailles Gold, a game that transports you to Renaissance France, is a 5-reel game with symbols of King Louis, his gorgeous Queen, his Advisor, and the King’s Sun. The latter is a Wild Symbol that substitutes for all other symbols. During Free Spins – where the money is! – a random symbol is selected and acts as a special expanding symbol, multiplying wins at an exponential rate. This week at Playground, we match British and French royalty! Sit down at one of our multi-game EGDs, select Versailles Gold, and order a free Crown and ginger. […]

Snow never fails to fall in spring, but that’s behind us now. Nice weather is here, and as we let the sunshine in, our drinks evolve… and what concoction screams nice weather louder than sangria? Today, we wish to present you with the first of our EGD/drink pairing series! Sangria is traditionally prepared with red wine, soda, juice and fresh fruits. Most linguists attribute the name’s origin to the Spanish word sangre, which means blood, referencing the colour of the drink. Little is known about the origins of the drink itself, but much is known about the different ways to prepare it! The exact recipe of Playground’s sangria remains a secret – sorry! – but some ingredients can be revealed: red wine and fruits. Our Electronic Gaming space is no stranger to fruits, as you might imagine, but none puts them forth better than 5 Juggle Fruits, a game as […]
