In a fascinating new series titled Behind the Reels, iGB uncovers the intricate journey of slot game development, from initial concept to the final product. This series invites viewers to gain insight into the creative processes involved, spotlighting the discussions between Chief Product Officers and lead game producers.
The first episode features a dialogue between Dr. Eyal Loz of RubyPlay and Tristan Esaid from Koala Games. They tackle the familiar theme of leprechauns in online slots, questioning its originality in the current iGaming landscape. Loz expressed skepticism, stating, "Leprechauns sound not so original. Go crazy! Go big or go home! When we talk about really big, innovative and impactful ideas, that’s not what I had in mind."
Together, Loz and Esaid delve into the development of two games, Voltage Blitz Vortex and Voltage Blitz Rapid, which intriguingly began as a proposal for yet another leprechaun-themed slot. The episode provides a revealing look at how their creative paths diverged in the pursuit of innovation.
