In an unprecedented move from Play’n GO, the slots developer released not one, not two, but three new slot titles for its new The Wealth Series, with Magnus Olsson, head of sales and account management at Play’n GO explaining: “We’re always looking to develop and enhance a player’s gaming experience, offering more value and opportunity to our operating partners.”
Consisting of the Celebration of Wealth, Temple of Wealth and Beast of Wealth, all three titles come together to create a ‘complete overall gaming experience’. Each game is based around different cultural aspects of prosperity featuring various signs and symbols of wealth.
On this point, Olsson stated that the Wealth Series is ‘designed to give a new type of player experience’ to create a ‘smoother transition between titles’. He continued: “The idea here is that you can play three different games, and get three different experiences, but they’re all connected.
“Players can play any number of games during a session, and the Wealth series can give them that variety while still keeping the same vibe and tone, a smoother transition between titles that doesn’t spoil the mood or take you out of the zone.
“The shared Jackpot also really ties it together, you get the same excitement at the prospect of a jackpot win in all the games, while each game’s other bonus feature is different, so you’re not just playing the same game. But you know, if you enjoy one of these games, you’ll enjoy all of them.”
“We want everyone to have access to our games whoever, and wherever they are ,”
All three games were released on September 17, when asked why the company decided to unleash them all at the same time Olsson claimed: “It made sense; the three games are linked, so why not release them at the same time?
“The games are one unique experience so it would have been pointless to release them one at a time, as you would have lost that aspect of it.
“We’re no strangers to multiple releases in a day, we’ve released two or even three games at once before. Not only that but, as with all of our releases, the games went live in multiple regions simultaneously; something that not many suppliers out there can manage.
“We want everyone to have access to our games whoever, and wherever they are, so we work hard on that aspect of our business and, for games like the Wealth Series, it definitely pays off.”
Olsson went on to explain that each game within the series revolves around a different aspect of the ‘idea of wealth’ as seen in Asian culture.
“You have Beasts of Wealth which is based on animals that represent luck, power and fortune; Temple of Wealth focuses on lucky symbols, and emblems and Celebration of Wealth looks at how wealth and fortune are celebrated.” noted the head of sales and account management.
“In terms of gameplay, each one is a payway slot but comes with its own free spins feature, giving a different experience in each one whether increasing payways, adding HP symbols or adding mystery symbols, there’s a little something for everyone.”
Since its release Olsson states it’s been ‘very well received’ with players having been ‘gravitated’ towards the ‘new type of experience’.
“People are creatures of habit a lot of the time, so when you can get them to try something new, and to like it, it’s always a testament to the hard work that has gone into a project, to bring it into fruition.” stated Olsson.
“It’s still early days, but the early signs are positive, so it seems like this is a concept people can get on board with!”
Looking to the future and further Series releases, the head of sales emphasised that ‘if it makes sense to do it, then we will. Yet remained cautious believing the company doesn’t want to turn it into a ‘gimmick’. He concluded: “If we feel there is value for our operators to release more series of games, or if we see the industry calling for it, then it’s something we would look to do more of, but we won’t do it just for the sake of it.”
