Respins with Player Choice

Download the November Slots Design Report

In top-grossing slots apps, machines with respins have the second-highest average revenue impact (+3.3% WoW) of any base game mechanic. Big Fish Casino releases more machines with respins than almost any other app and sees an unusually large revenue impact from them (+8.5% WoW). 

This month’s report analyzes Hook’s Island, a new machine from Big Fish Casino. In Hook’s Island, players choose the location of sticky frames before respins. During respins, symbols that land in the sticky frames unlock additional rows that contain jackpots.

These kinds of choices make players more confident in their ability to control outcomes and more willing to spend money to exert that control.
