INSIGHT ONES TO WATCH HUNGRY BEAR GAMING
Justin Chamberlain CEO and Founder HungryBear Gaming
Why was HungryBear Gaming established?
Hungrybear was established in 2018 following my exit from the last business I founded and built – CORE Gaming. At CORE Gaming I pioneered the development of slots in HTML5, being the first studio in the industry to build a HTML5 game back in 2011 – Rainbow Riches – and then went onto to convert over 300 industry leading titles to HTML5 over a three-year period.
I subsequently sold CORE Gaming to Sky Betting and Gaming in 2016, and then exited that in 2018 with a renewed appetite to design and build original, innovative, and new content. Who Bears Wins was decided as our motto to carry this vision, and five years later we are proving this with our unique, innovative, multiplayer sensation Slot Masters fast becoming the hottest and most sought after game in the industry.
What differentiates HungryBear Gaming?
Culture, people, vision, drive, determination, passion, work ethic, and the constant drive to be original, innovative and be unique! Te industry is awash with standard single player slots, packed full of the same old features and mechanics, constantly recycled and plagiarised by far less original actors who have the budgets to churn out huge volumes of games to the detriment of originality. Innovation is a strategy not without its risks of course, as its hard to deliver on in an industry that is typically risk averse and spoiled for choice, but the rewards are there if you can breakthrough with something new and truly unique. To achieve that I needed all of the above and more, and a team of people who would follow me through the lonely, and often stressful, baron landscape of the innovative startup! Slot Masters though is proof that with the right vision, team, passion, determination, excellence, and drive, that great things can be achieved.
Design-wise, what sets your games apart?
Multiplayer is, without a doubt, our unique game design feature that makes us stand head and shoulders above many in the industry. We first launched multiplayer in early 2022, and to this date we are still the only provider in the space that offers this level of player engagement, interactivity, immersion, and overall game experience. We were first and fully intend to stay on that position in order to lead the
revolution to multiplayer slots that we have established. With multiplayer set aside of course I have a passion and fixation for excellence in all elements of all games we produce, and a game must meet the criteria on; maths, gameplay, creative, and audio. Luckily I have an incredible team around me that ensure this is always delivered and achieved on all games we develop and produce.
Do you have a standout title?
Slot Masters is that very title, with our multiplayer slots now being featured across an impressive number of Tier 1 operators in the UK, our order books full to the brim for deliveries of the version 1 of our product in multiple territories globally, and our roadmap of innovation, new features, mechanics, and developments now stacked for the remainder of the year. Slot Masters is changing the industry by offering players an alternative to the passive, lonely, old fashioned, solo pursuit of playing slots, to a new, engaging, interactive and highly entertaining arena of playing slots but against live, multiple opponents, and with the chance to effect the game outcome and opponents score in a game.
Tomorrows gamblers and slot players have grown up in an era of multiplayer, from Call of Duty, Minecraft, Fortnite, 8-ball pool, and almost every other game they have interacted with has been multiplayer. Slot Masters bridges that gap between typical ‘older’ slots players, given that is still appeals as a slot, and the younger merging audience that demand way more of a slots experience and expect everything they engage with to offer multiplayer potential.
What's the vision for HungryBear Gaming?
Position Slot Masters as the innovative, definitive, first, original, and most popular multiplayer slot of the new generation of games that will follow, now that we have cleared this path and shown the way forward. To help ensure we achieve that we have a stacked roadmap of new game types, features, mechanics, engagement tools, and lot’s more innovation in the pipeline, both internally and with multiple key operator partners, that will ensure I can deliver on this vision and way more. Who Bears Wins is our maxim, and we I will prove and deliver on that over the coming years.
