In the inaugural episode of the new series "Behind the Reels" from iGB, viewers are taken into the fascinating journey of slot game development, from initial pitches to the final spins. This series aims to shed light on the creative process behind slot games, featuring insights from Chief Product Officers and lead game producers as they share their experiences with early designs, unique features, and upcoming projects.
In the first episode, Dr. Eyal Loz of RubyPlay engages in an intriguing conversation with Tristan Esaid from Koala Games. They explore the common portrayal of leprechauns in online slots and whether this theme remains fresh for today’s iGaming audience. Loz expresses his concerns, 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 reveal the development stories behind "Voltage Blitz Vortex" and "Voltage Blitz Rapid," two games that surprisingly began as concepts for yet another leprechaun-themed slot.
