Inspired by Asian culture, BGaming’s most recent slot title Dragon’s Gold 100 takes players to the “mysterious East” to find the legendary Eastern Dragon, Loong. And according to Katherine Puteiko, CS marketing manager at BGaming, this type of themed slot “holds a prominent place and appeals to a large market”.
Speaking to SlotBeats, Katherine delved into the decisions behind creating an Asian-themed title and how the use of mathematical models combined with an RTP of 96.9 per cent can ensure “great entertainment and winning chances for players”.
SlotBeats: First of all, can you tell us a little bit about why you chose a theme associated with Asian culture? What was the thought process behind this?
KP: Like many others, we are fascinated with Asian culture and history. This type of themed game holds a prominent place and appeals to a large market. We saw a gap and the time was right to diversify and add a mythical Asian-themed slot to BGaming’s portfolio.
With the feedback of some of our valued operators like Bitstarz we are confident that we created an engaging game that will be loved and enjoyed by players. Stake.com was the first to have the game online as an exclusive release and we are very pleased with the great results that this game achieved.
SlotBeats: How have you incorporated elements of Asian culture into the overall design of Dragon’s Gold 100?
KP: Set in a classic backdrop we spiced this up a bit with cherry blossom and traditional/ instrumental music. The Eastern Dragon, also known as Loong, is a legendary creature in Asian mythology and the WILD in our game.
Add to the mix Chinese lanterns, golden coins, a Maneki-Neko cat, beautiful Koi fish and colourful origami creatures this game holds the promise of good fortune and luck!
SlotBeats: When the title was released, you mentioned an “excellent mathematical model” as being one of the most important elements of the slot. Can you walk us through this model?
KP: In general, this is one of the most successful maths models we’ve used in our previous releases. Dragon’s Gold 100 is a pretty straightforward 5×4 medium-high volatile game for real gamblers, rather than entertainers. It features Scatter Symbols, Stacked Wilds, an Expanding Wild plus a Gamble round offering players the chance to multiply their fortune.
SlotBeats: How will this help elevate the overall player experience?
KP: With a default of 96.9% RTP, the game is packed with lavish features that are entertaining and easy to play. Played with 100-paylines and a max exposure of x3000 it’s got all the qualities ensuring great entertainment and winning chances for players.
SlotBeats: Finally, what can customers expect from BGaming in the not-so-distant future?
KP: We have an existing line-up of innovative and engaging game releases planned for the upcoming months. Players can expect to be dazzled and entertained by new releases, unique feature updates in existing titles and new game mechanics.
For example, our shapeshifter slot Fruit Milion will celebrate Halloween and Christmas along with the works. We are also going to release a few fruit slots that are always relevant. Crypto players will be surprised as well!
In the near future BGaming will delight them with a crypto game. We are going to prepare some extra gifts, so we suggest players follow the news and be the first to know about the intriguing promo! The autumn is going to be very fruitful for BGaming!
