Daily Spin interviews GameArt about thriving in a highly competitive market, the process behind turning a slot concept into a finished game, the key features that set them apart, and innovations that are on the horizon.
Dailyspin.it recently sat down with one of the industry's long-standing leaders, renowned for their success in online slots over the years: GameArt. We've prepared a series of questions to dive deep into their expertise. How does one thrive in such a competitive market? What's the process behind turning a slot concept into a finished game? What key features set them apart, and what innovations are on the horizon? Let's jump in!
The online slot market is incredibly competitive, with countless providers and new games launching every month. What is GameArt's strategy for making their games stand out in such a crowded space?
We stand out by creating games that throw players into gaming experiences enriched by cultural references, historical stories, and imaginative worlds. Our advanced technology delivers high-quality slot games featuring impressive graphics, captivating features and characters, and smooth animations.
It's always fun to imagine what kind of game you'd create if given the chance. Please give us a quick overview of how a slot evolves from its initial concept to a finished product.
The process of creating a slot game at GameArt is a collaborative effort that starts with our product owners and production team brainstorming the theme and exciting new features. We always pay close attention to the trends in the market and consider what’s popular among players to ensure we’re delivering something fresh and engaging. Once the theme and features are decided, the production team dives into the development process, which includes everything from artwork design to animation and audio.
We know you have a vast collection of exciting and fun games, but if you had to pick three slots from your portfolio that stand out above the rest, which ones would they be and why?
Three slots from our portfolio that stand out above the rest are Jazz Jam Jackpots, a chic and exciting 3x3 slot game set in a vibrant Chicago speakeasy. Featuring distinctive comic-style graphics and a soundtrack inspired by jazz's golden era, the game includes dynamic features such as the Collector Feature, where Crown symbols boost winnings, the Diamond Rush, which can trigger during non-winning spins, a spin-resetting Bonus Game, and the multi-tiered Chicago Jackpots, providing opportunities for impressive prizes.
Lucky Pups is another favourite among our most recent releases. It offers exciting features like Wilds, Scatters, Lucky Collars Respins, Gigantic symbols, and three Jackpot levels. The Lucky Collars Respins are triggered when six or more Lucky Collar symbols appear, transforming the reels to reveal cash prizes or Jackpots. Each new prize resets the Respins, with the Mega Jackpot awarded for filling all 15 positions. Landing three Scatters triggers six Free Spins, where reels merge into a Gigantic symbol to enhance winning potential. Wild symbols offer the highest payouts, and Free Spins can be retriggered for even more chances to win.
Another successful slot that we’ve developed is Great Buffalo Hold'n Win, a thrilling 5x4 slot game set in the Wild West. The Hold'n Win feature is triggered by six or more Fireball symbols. Reels transform while locking Fireball symbols in place. Players start with three respins, with each new Fireball symbol resetting the count. This reset mechanism is what keeps the suspense going as players wait to see if they can claim the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand Jackpot. If the player fills all 20 positions on the reels with winning combinations, then the Grand Jackpot is theirs!
Among the many popular features in your games, could you share a couple that consistently gets players excited?
Some popular features integrated into our games are different game volatility options, an assortment of bonus wilds, multiplier symbols, free spin retriggers, and mechanics like Hold’n Win and Megaways.
I'm sure GameArt has some exciting projects in the pipeline. Can you give us a sneak peek or share details about what's coming up?
We have some exciting projects in the works here at GameArt. One of the most unique titles we’re launching is Lucky Loser, set to release in November, and which we’ll also be featuring at SiGMA Europe. In this game, we’re flipping the script—where losing actually feels like winning! It's a fresh and fun experience we can’t wait to share. Also coming in November is Jungle Rave, a wild party in the jungle where a DJ panda spins the hottest beats, tigers rock party sunglasses, and funky monkeys dance under neon lights—it’s as vibrant and energetic as it sounds.
We have one more release left to launch this October, on the 22nd, which is Olympus Majesty, a 7x7 cluster game where players ascend Mount Olympus to join Zeus, Kratos, and Athena. This game is packed with features including various bonuses, random wilds, super sized symbols, wild returns and more.
It’s going to be an exciting few months ahead, and we can’t wait for players to experience our new games!
When it comes to responsible gaming and addressing gambling addiction, I'm sure this is something you always keep in mind as a slot developer. How do you approach this important responsibility?
We aim to partner with casino operators and aggregators to support responsible gaming efforts. By joining forces, we help introduce safeguards like age verification processes and self-exclusion options on their platforms, ensuring responsible gaming practices.
