Having teamed up with Global Merchandising Services & The emoji Company to bring to life the universally popular icons, the game’s innovative features will appeal to players of all ages. Developed and designed with a mobile first approach, it will ensure a superb NetEnt gaming experience whether playing at home or on the go.
