incorporated an NFT into a slot is simply financial. Even if you don’t go and buy hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of CryptoPunks for display, NFTs can still be fairly costly. And then there are questions around publishing rights. But like all ideas that turn out to be good, it seems obvious in hindsight that someone else should have done it first.
How does NFT Megaways' gameplay tie in with the cryptocurrency theme?
Te name of the game is (not literally, but you get the idea) ‘Get Punks Get Rich’ and that’s probably the way the community that engages with CryptoPunks thinks. Tey think of these as a financial asset that they hope goes up in value, and everybody wants a CryptoPunk. As I said, this is the original NFT and so in a world where NFTs are super-hot, CryptoPunks are the hottest of the hot.
You want CryptoPunks in your real life and you want them in the slot. Once you get one CryptoPunk, you want the CryptoPunk to have friends! In the game, getting two CryptoPunks isn’t just twice as good as one, it becomes exponentially better. We made that the core feature and functionality of the game and they are even featured in a different part of the slot to pull your eyes up to the CryptoPunk.
We’ve designed it so that almost all of the big wins are coming through CryptoPunks.
What are your expectations for NFT Megaways? What constitutes a success?
“Being first, blazing a path that others can follow, and
contributing something new to the industry we love is by itself enough of a success. It’s still a relatively obscure subject but for the rest of days, the first ever slot to have featured an NFT in it will have been made by our team. And that has a lot of value - it’s good for Red Tiger who made the game, and it’s good for Evolution.”
Getting it launched, being first and contributing to the slot community and to the crypto asset community was the goal. So, it’s already a success. Being first, blazing a path that others can follow, and contributing something new to the industry we love is by itself enough of a success. It’s still a relatively obscure subject but for the rest of days, the first ever slot to have featured an NFT in it will have been made by our team. And that has a lot of value - it’s good for Red Tiger who made the game, and it’s good for Evolution.
So, we’re all very proud to have been part of a
small piece of history. Tere could be a day where all slots have NFTs in them, where all slot symbols are registered as NFTs on the blockchain – this is not unthinkable. Tere could be a day when you could win NFTs from a slot, and all sorts of things like this. Tis game will be the original game that started it all.
Obviously, we want the game to attract a lot of players and I think as NFTs grow in popularity, so will the success of the game. Most games have a short life, but this game is uniquely positioned to age like a fine wine and get better with time.
Is this a one-off? Do you plan on introducing more NFT titles in the future or is that dependent on the title's success?
Well, it was incredibly important for us to be first. Do we need to be second, third and fourth? I’m not so sure. It is a bit tricky buying and publicly displaying NFTs from a legal perspective. We would love to but it’s not so straightforward. We can of course take unknown NFTs or even create our own NFTs, register them on the Ethereum blockchain and put them in the slot – but in these early days it really needs to be big branded NFTS, that are well-known, to generate the right kind of interest in the slot games.
We’ll see how the public reacts to this one and from there we will watch the space. We take a lot of shots at different types of innovation and once we launch them, we wait to see how the public reacts – and this will be no different.
