Raw iGaming is a new-to-scene iGaming developer that promised when they launched last year that they aimed to create something that “stands out in the sea of sameness”. True to word, the studio has released the first add-ons to the proprietary SuperSlice game engine.
Starting at the beginning, the SuperSlice game engine uses wheels instead of reels, so every spin is already a new experience.
The first add-on, Clusterspin, gives players a chance to bet on whether they will win or lose over a course of spins. Options include 5, 10, 15, or 20 game rounds – after deciding how many rounds to bet on, players try to predict if they will net a win or a loss over the round.
The next add-on is called Bonus Rush. It’s a riff on feature buy or bonus buy additions made to games over the last couple of years with the mechanic enjoying massive popularity in no small part thanks to being associated with many Megaways games, those using Big Time Gaming’s proprietary features. With Bonus Rush, players choose a feature and a level, set the bet they want to stake on it, and then jump right into the bonus action with both feet.
Already Certified in Some Markets
Although the add-ons are certified with their attendant games in some jurisdictions, they might not be yet in others, but that’s the way things go when you’re the pink shark in a sea of sameness and set out to make a splash. Wheels of Rock and Journey to Chaos feature the Clusterspin add-on while Journey to Chaos will also offer Bonus Rush.
Tom Wood, Chief Executive at RAW iGaming, said: “Add-ons really complement and enhance player experience and in Clusterspin we have a feature that is truly innovative and unique by allowing the player to play to win, even when they lose.
“RAW iGaming is all about challenging industry norms and to deliver new & innovative player experiences, and our Add-ons are designed to support that progression.”
Wheels are the New Reels
The SuperSlice engine itself delivers random and dynamic slices on any wheel in the game with each iteration a surprise to players – you never know how many slices will be generated or what will appear on them. Possibilities include mini-games, free spins, high-value symbols, and multiplier triggers. They can also appear empty.
