Battle Mechanics Create Engaging Sinks
Cash Frenzy’s Zombie Gold Rush is an innovative machine that incorporates several mechanics from the core market, including character selection, battles, and a survival-themed bonus. To sustain engagement, the machine includes progressions in which players collect ammo to use in battles, land wilds to fill a meter, and complete meters to advance on a map that triggers bonus battles.
Although core-inspired mechanics are uncommon in slots, they allow designers to create compelling progressions that shift players’ focus away from how much currency they’re spending. As a result, we believe these types of mechanics could become a major trend.
