create such an innovative product. Of course that presented its own challenges when it came to tailoring the game from a behavioural and player experience perspective, but I’m delighted to say our team went above and beyond to produce Dungeon: Immortal Evil and we could not be prouder of the result.
Amongst other features, Dungeon: Immortal Evil has a cinematic introduction, health kits and videogame-like sound effects. What does the future hold for narrative style slot games and storylines? What further inspiration can be taken from videogames?
Evoplay has released Dungeon: Immortal Evil, the industry’s first RPG slot game, to great acclaim. G3 interviews Evoplay Entertainment’s new Chief Business Development Officer, Vladimir Malakchi, about the game’s inspiration and the rationale behind the slot’s unique game design.
Could you provide an overview of Dungeon: Immortal Evil?
Dungeon: Immortal Evil is the industry’s first ever role-playing game (RPG) inspired slot. Te slot takes players to an ancient temple filled with every demon imaginable. Te aim of the game is to fight these demons to collect loot and have an opportunity to defeat the main evil. Te slot offers a unique blend of the iGaming and gaming worlds.
When was the idea for an RPG slot conceived?
Evoplay Entertainment is always striving to break ground exploring new technologies and themes. In 2018, we released Necromancer, the industry’s first 3D/VR slot. We challenged ourselves to open the gates between gaming and iGaming to open a

Te right development pipeline is crucial to ensure there are processes in place should the team suffer a technological issue in the first stage of the development and design process. As the first RPG slot on the market, we discovered that there was no defined technology out there to
new perception of slots and Dungeon: Immortal Evil is just the first in this canon of games.
What development issues did you face before coming to market?
We conducted extensive research within gaming and iGaming. We then combined our findings to create an original slot whose visual concepts were tailored and adjusted during the development process prior to finally introducing it to market.
Te loot and bestiary of the game invites players to delve deep into the game and feel like a real gamer. I have been a gamer myself for a number of years and wanted to learn more about the monsters and their characteristics. Tere is plenty to take from gaming and video content in general. It is no longer enough to create simple products as players are spoilt for choice with an incredible array of products. Players demand games that stand out and Dungeon: Immortal Evil undoubtedly achieves this.
Dungeon: Immortal Evil is optimised for mobile users. Do you see mobile as the future for iGaming?
Evoplay Entertainment is proud of its functionality and features for mobile users. Research from partners around the world show that more than 75 per cent of players are on mobile devices and represent the future of iGaming. It is simply more comfortable and easier for many players to use mobile devices than desktop alternatives. It is still a pretty big database of players that are using desktop devices, particularly streamers, so we cater to both audiences but the main focus should be on mobile devices.
Despite being an RPG slot, Dungeon: Immortal Evil lacks a skill-based element. Why?
Despite the game’s amazing features, ultimately we produce slots - and in creating Dungeon, we wanted to stay true to slot’s RNG principles. Whilst Dungeon: Immortal Evil gives players the feeling that they can control and influence the game, winning is just a case of luck.
Is Dungeon: Immortal Evil designed to target a new generation of player?
