Jackpot City Launches Edinburgh Castle-Themed Game to Scottish Acclaim

EDINBURGH, UK – March 15, 2025 – Jackpot City has struck gold with Scottish players following the launch of its new regionally-themed game, “Edinburgh Castle Treasures.” The online slots game, which features iconic imagery from Scotland’s most famous fortress and authentic bagpipe soundtracks, has quickly become the platform’s most popular title in Scotland since its release last week.

The game incorporates detailed renderings of Edinburgh Castle’s Great Hall, Crown Jewels, and the famous One O’Clock Gun as key symbols, while bonus rounds transport players through different periods of Scottish history. Players can unlock special features named after historical Scottish figures like Mary Queen of Scots and Robert the Bruce.

“We wanted to create something that would resonate specifically with our Scottish players,” explained Jackpot City’s Creative Director, Alistair McKinnon. “Edinburgh Castle is not just a national symbol but a treasure trove of stories and history that lends itself perfectly to an immersive gaming experience.”

The development team consulted with historians from the University of Edinburgh to ensure historical accuracy in the game’s design and narratives. They also recorded authentic Scottish music performed by the Highlands Pipe Band to enhance the gaming atmosphere.

Local reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with Scottish players appreciating the attention to regional detail. Edinburgh resident Fiona MacLeod, who won £8,000 playing the game during its launch week, expressed her appreciation for the local connection.

“It’s brilliant to see our heritage represented so beautifully in a game,” MacLeod said. “The detail they’ve put into recreating Edinburgh Castle is impressive – I can recognize specific parts I’ve visited many times.”

The game’s popularity has extended beyond Edinburgh to other Scottish cities, with particularly strong engagement reported in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Jackpot City reports that “Edinburgh Castle Treasures” has seen 300% more Scottish players than their average new game launch.

Following this success, Jackpot City has announced plans to develop more regionally-themed games for the UK market, with potential titles centered around the Welsh castles, the Lake District, and London landmarks already in development.

To celebrate the game’s success, Jackpot City is organizing a special tournament exclusively for Scottish players next month, with a top prize of £20,000 and an authentic Edinburgh Castle experience for the winner, including a private after-hours tour of the fortress.
