SLOT DESIGN ROUNDTABLE
Do you have a strong foothold in market? Are players more conservative or do you have a player base that is looking for these uncharted themes? We ensure that each release targets either one of these demographics, but even when we develop a classic theme title, we always add some Gaming Corps flare.
Should the design influence the use of a mechanic, or the mechanic influence the design of the slot title?
Nik: Te relationship between design and mechanics varies, depending on the slot's vision. Sometimes, design inspires mechanics, while in other cases, a specific mechanic influences the overall theme and design.
It's essential to assess the long-term potential of a mechanic beyond its initial revolutionary impact. Can it endure in the dynamic iGaming landscape? Tis leaves room for continuous experimentation and pushing boundaries.
By prominently branding the Megaways mechanic, we've observed an immediate increase in player engagement. Players know what they're in for from the get-go! In terms of KPIs – engagement, retention and games that showcase their mechanic upfront generally show a more robust performance.
Tese games become talking points with influencers and online forums and often become players’ go-to choices. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that choosing the mechanic- only approach, doesn't diminish the importance or performance of 'standard' features in our portfolio.
Bonanza, for example, is filled with captivating features and a new design that became iconic! Every game, spin, and mechanic have a unique place and audience.
Lloyd: Mechanics are often defined first, as this is fundamental to making our games appealing or not, but theme concepts should always be considered early and developed in tandem, as this is the first impression on the player. A perfect marriage of theme and mechanics will deliver a more immersive and complete gaming experience.
Te game's theme, which emphasises anticipation, favourable results, etc., will aid in providing context for the mechanics and ensuring that the players understand the rules. A successful game usually strikes a balance between design and features, ensuring that both aspects complement each other to create an engaging and memorable experience for players.
