Set in the US during the 1930’s mobster era, 1spin4win invites players to meet a feline trifecta of criminals and attempt to reach to the top of the criminal underworld.
Boasting a vintage art deco theme that is well aligned with the supplier, and one which Sales Manager, Jaime Carvajal, confidently proclaims will never lessen in appeal to players, Don Catleone certainly possesses sky high internal optimism.
“This is a very special game,” Carvajal begins. “The name is Don Catleone Hold and Win, comprising a feature that has proven to be very effective and loved by players. The game tells the story of three cats, Tommy, Tony, and Ruby.
“Three cats, each of them with its own story and character. To start you have Tommy Blue, “the rush guy” the muscle. Then, Tony Green the tricky sly type which makes him the deal maker and deal breaker. And finally, Ruby More “the brain behind each job”.
“The slot is inspired by the 1930s, which is, as you know, Chicago, Boston, New York, mob style. It’s important to mention how good that resonates with our own art deco style. So basically the game combines the best We have to offer and that makes us really excited about it. It will keep the players enrolled. We are sure they will have a lot of fun.”
“THIS GAME COMBINES THE BEST OF WHAT WE DO”
Amid overwhelming confidence in the slots future success, Carvajal points to the all-encompassing nature of the game as evidence that an impressive uptake by users is somewhat inevitable.
The “very special slot” comprises “all the features that we like”, and come with a 97.1 RTP as well as a middle to low volatility.
“It’s the slot game that really unified everything we like,” he says. “From the feature side you have hold and win, and from the style side it’s kind of renaissance and vintage. We are really into classic themes. That’s the style that we follow, and it’s something that we really like.”
Subsequently the conversation, taking place on a very apt art deco stand on the Barcelona showfloor, shifted to the critical issue of themes and designs.
These can often play a pivotal role in a slot’s appeal among players across targeted geographies, and therefore be the ultimate determining factor between a huge hit or tragic miss.
With this in mind, Carvajal continues by touching on just why he believes that Don Catleone will resonate with a huge swathe of users.
He remarks: “This game combines the best of what we do. As I said before, you have the features, the style and a very nice storytelling”.
The players will get captivated by the story of three cats and how they get together in order to get either the mini Pot or the mega pot. As always there is a story behind it, and I believe that players actually love that kind of stuff.”
In addition, a significant amount of trust has also been placed in the fact that the title’s “unique features and potential” would be recognised and appreciated on a huge scale.
Centred around the much discussed Hold and Win mechanic, Carvajal stresses that this has proven to be a feature that has a lot of popularity within its player base.
“This is a feature that is really keeping them in the game,” he adds. “Then you have the mini pot and the mega pot, which basically multiplies whatever you can make. This is definitely something that every player will be chasing.”
Away from the title that has very much stolen the 1spin4win spotlight, attention subsequently turned to the road that lies ahead and what else we can expect from the studio.
Despite reiterating a love and strong belief in the classics. Carvajal stresses a focus of creating games that players love and continuing to push the button of success.
Away from this, exploring season titles is becoming a “really important” part of the group’s portfolio. Following success in 2024, a St. Valentine’s Day launch forms a key part of this year’s plans.
“…WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON MONITORING A VARIETY OF MARKETS, INCLUDING ECUADOR, CHILE, PARAGUAY AND URUGUAY”
He continues: “We are also continuing to look at customised games for markets. We are really into expanding, and we are going to enter Latin America.
“We are searching for things that identify our potential customers and players with the games we do. You can expect to have more content in that direction.”
As the conversation wrapped up, the discussion stayed on the path of the aforementioned continent. One that continues to capture the attention of a large portion of the industry.
With a plethora of opportunities on the table, you could be forgiven for believing that it would be difficult to narrow down a target. However, for 1spin4win, the options are plentiful.
“We are now targeting several markets at the same time,” he concluded. “On one side we are working on the certification for the Brazil market.
“Then we plan to move to the Peruvian market. They are both wonderful markets with a lot of interesting players that really know what they like.
“In parallel, we continue to work on monitoring a variety of markets, including Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. We are chasing the best partners to get into the market and stay solid.”
