This anticipated sequel was presented to the public in July 2021, almost four years after the original version. It offers high variance and a maximum payout of 10,000 coins. The RTP ranges from casino to casino.

Epic Ape 2, as well as the original slot, was developed and provided by Playtech. This is one of the pioneers in the gaming industry that was established in 1999. Games by this studio are available in more than a hundred online casinos, and the company continues to search for new opportunities to integrate its content into more operators. It currently works on strengthening its positions in existing markets, and Croatia is one of them. Playtech has recently signed a partnership agreement with Fortuna to migrate its PSK brand into FEG unified platform.

Per Widerstrom, CEO at Fortuna Entertainment Group, added: “We are delighted to launch our PSK.hr brand in Croatia on FEG’s unified platform, using Playtech’s industry leading IMS account and wallet solution. The success of our strategic partnership with Playtech over the last five years is testament to the strength of our omni-channel offering in Central and Eastern Europe, and we look forward to watching this partnership continue to grow from strength to strength.”
