Mine games, slots, crash games – there’s not much that you can ask of Gaming Corps that they could not deliver. The innovative iGaming developer has been creating inventive and creative games for years now, and one thing that they excel at is diversity.
Today with us we have Connor Blinman, the Head of Games at Gaming Corps. We chatted about their great new game Wet and Wild Beavers. You can see everything we talked about right below.
- Can you walk us through the inspiration behind “Wet and Wild Beavers”? How did the idea originate?
We really wanted to create something original, a brand new mechanic that had endless potential in both the gambling sense but also the future possibilities. The idea originated from our Mathematician, Jon, he had this idea for the mechanic and even wanted beavers involved. It was first discussed in a pub and we all know the best ideas come from a social get together! The game was taken forward and further concepted to what we see today with a fun and creative narrative tied with an innovative mechanic.
- Can you explain how the new mechanic works and how it affects gameplay?
The A-MAZE-CADES mechanic is tied to this game's 5×5 grid, which has a snaking route from the top-right corner to the bottom-left corner. With each winning combination, where the paylines pay left-to-right, the symbols that won are removed and the grid will fill inwards towards the bottom-left corner. This is essentially a unique twist on the cascading mechanic, however, the ambitious complexity means that the game feels entirely fresh and new. The game is incredibly entertaining and it is almost impossible to predict where the next wins will come from thanks to the maze-like route that the symbols take.
The beauty of Wet and Wild Beavers is that one every spin, there is a Beaver that spawn in the top-right position, it is the player's objective to progress the Beaver through the grid towards the exit position.
- What do you hope players will feel or experience when they first encounter this mechanic in the game?
Truly I hope that players who experience Wet and Wild Beavers will feel as if this game brings them something new that they have not seen before. The game in itself is incredibly entertaining and the length of the average spin gives great value for money so I feel like players should get huge enjoyment from our A-MAZE-CADES mechanic. Quite quickly the player will learn that they need to progress the Beaver towards the exit and feel a sense of objective with accomplishment potential. This is much more than your average slot game where you are chasing 3 scatters.
- Will this mechanic be rolled out in other new releases?
Watch this space. It is certainly the aim to produce more A-MAZE-CADES products in the future, tackling different themes and pairing it with different mechanics that players will recognise. Putting the A-MAZE-CADES twist on it will certainly be something we explore next year.
- Gaming Corps have produced a lot of new games in 2024 – is the roadmap for 2025 just as busy?
What I can say is that here at Gaming Corps we are always looking to improve both our quality of content and the quantity of content to meet the demands of our clients. We want to ensure that we grow year-over-year and 2025 is ramping up to be a big year for Gaming Corps. We look forward to providing our players with better games in 2025.
