Behind the Reels episode one: “No Leprechauns!”

Crazy ideas, trial and error, koalas versus leprechauns…

Have you ever wondered how slot games go from the first pitch to final spin?

A new series from iGB, Behind the Reels, takes you behind the scenes of this wild process from first pitch to final spin.

Join in as CPOs and lead game producers candidly discuss the creation of their products, from early design to key features and future projects. 

Episode one has @RubyPlay’s Dr. Eyal Loz questions @Koala Games’ Tristan Esaid on whether well-tred theme of lephrechauns in an online slot is innovative enough for today’s iGaming audience.

“Leprechauns sound not so original,” laments Loz. “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.”

Loz and Esaid pull back the curtain on the making of Voltage Blitz Vortex and Voltage Blitz Rapid, two titles that, somewhat unexpectedly, began life as a pitch for yet another leprechaun-themed game.
