Nick Robinson, CEO of developer Big Time Gaming spoke to CasinoBeats. He talked about their recent Kingmaker release and also answered questions about future releases and the Tesla giveaway.
What inspired the creation of Kingmaker?
Most of our games require a lot of spins to trigger the bonus and we get a lot of feedback through various player forums and social media.
So, in response, we decided to create a game where the bonus round is the last thing you want to see, and instead our players would never want to get a third scatter!
Earlier previews have pointed this out, noting that the base game takes time to get to the bonus features and that there will be high volatility during the free spins. Can you explain why you made this decision?
There are two things you want to see in Kingmaker - activate the bonus in the first 20 spins and get a nice reward, or stay in the base game to increase the multipliers for five-figure combinations to dizzying heights, which offers an unlimited positive (100% and more) return to the lucky one. the player who managed to delay receiving the third crown.
Casino streamers can play the slot like a soap opera, they can play the slot in parts, setting either a time limit or a certain multiplier value, after which they end the game - and like in Stranger Things - announce that the game will continue during stream on Wednesday!
Kingmakerthis is another Megaways slot. Despite the sale of the license for Megaways to third parties (and with the slot of the Triple Reaction and Reel Adventure mechanics), do Megaways players today > BTG slots?
Interest Ask. Internally, when we plan to create a new slot, we only use Megaways to enhance what we see as a new experience for the player.
By the way, our next two slots to be launched in the fall are not Megaways slots.
The game feels similar to the earlier release of Holy Diver. Is this done on purpose?
The only thing the slot has in common with Holy Diver is the medieval theme. The gameplay of Kingmaker is an unlimited accumulation of base game multipliers.
In Holy Diver, players need to collect gems in order to trigger the bonus feature. In this regard, slots are completely different. When playing Kingmaker, the longer you stay in the base game, the bigger the payouts.
What can you tell us about the next Big Time releases?
We have a very busy end of the year with the release of three groundbreaking slot machines! One of them will be a new licensed music slot, featuring everyone's favorite track from The Cult's album Electric, in which we'll blow the Bonanza hut down with a flash of lightning - something I'm sure a lot of Bonanza fans wanted to do when they were expecting the letter D!
With a November release, we're doubling down on our core brand while giving an explosive spin to the continued success of the previous installment. And just when you think BTG can't blow anything else, we'll end the year with an almighty bang by unveiling our most painstaking Megaways slot to the public to date, all wrapped up in possibly the biggest gaming brand ever.
We can't say right now what exactly we're preparing, but everything will be announced at the G2E show in Las Vegas!
How is the Tesla promotion going? This is a new car donation idea, do you have any plans to launch other similar promotions in the future?
Yes, we have such plans, but there is still a lot to be done in this competition. It's funny that we're now trying to recreate the biggest win ever for a player at Betway Casino who got an interesting multiplier on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? This player will take the position for July in the standings!
We will send a replay of the win to CasinoGrounds.com and Kim Hultman will broadcast the video of the big win when we add it to the leaderboard, after which it remains to determine the winners for August, September, October and November.
In the meantime, we will be delivering games with huge potential for players to secure their position on the leaderboard. This is especially true for The Cult license, which is set in an undetermined future where Bonanza and Danger High Voltage give life to a new slot and it turns into an uncontrollable teenage riot!
