NEW INNOVATIONS
[pigeon_protect]
Reel Expansion Mechanics
In Hercules Grand (House of Fun), once a Lion symbol hits, any reel holding a Lion expands … Hercules symbols lock … the other symbols convert to multipliers … and a single respin triggers. Additional wilds are added to the reels before pays are awarded.
Expert Insights
To build anticipation in landscape-view machines, pair a single symbol trigger with Ghosting Symbols that display above the reel set. To limit the RTP impact, trigger a single respin, or other low-paying mechanic.
Insight Details
- Ghost Symbols are an under-developed, yet visually-powerful, mechanic for landscape mode machines. In Hercules Grand, transparent versions of the Lion symbol can be seen falling above the reel set, exciting players with the potential of a hit (see image below and this video for more information).
- Test RMG innovations sooner. Hercules Grand is heavily inspired by Griffin’s Throne by IGT … a machine displayed at G2E 2018 in IGT’s Innovation Labs area and recently released to the casino floor.
- Decrease innovation risk with strong production. Have a back-up machine ready to release in case the innovative machine falters … limiting the downside of an innovative machine (and increasing the ROI of experimentation).
Persona Information
- Target persona: Money Mike (see L&G Slots Personas Report for more info)
- Reason: He selects machines with no-nonsense features focused on winning, like respins and multipliers.
- Valuable characteristics: Of the two male personas (Fame Frank is the other), Money Mike is more likely to monetize (even though he spends less time playing slots).
Additional Information
- Reel Expansion Feature – KONAMI (RMG)
- See all Expanding Reels (filter on Reels > Expanding)
Feature Database Improvement: Many videos, like in the Hercules Grand library, are now titled appropriately so that you can easily find the right video.
