Crazy ideas, trial and error, and a humorous clash of concepts—like koalas versus leprechauns—are at the core of creating slot games. A new series from iGB titled Behind the Reels explores the intricate journey from initial concept to the final game.
This series invites Chief Product Officers and lead game producers to share insights into their creative processes, covering every stage from design to standout features and upcoming projects.
In the debut episode, Dr. Eyal Loz of RubyPlay interviews Tristan Esaid from Koala Games. They delve into the conventional theme of leprechauns in online slots and whether it still captures the interest of today's iGaming fans.
Loz openly critiques the idea, 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 shed light on the development of two titles, Voltage Blitz Vortex and Voltage Blitz Rapid, which surprisingly originated as pitches for yet another leprechaun-themed game.
