Brand Building Characters

Mechanic Teardown

In Goddess Grove by Big Fish Casino, players select one of four Goddesses upon machine-entry. The Goddess determines the bonus game enhancement (as well as other machine aspects).

Expert Insights

Consider designing a strong set of characters that can be reused in machines and non-machine features. Best Fiends, a top grossing Puzzle app, has used this method to differentiate itself from other apps … even releasing high-quality video Shorts about newly released characters.

Expert Insights

• Creating strong characters can actually decrease costs. In Best Fiends, the characters are re-used in levels, as well as features, like Collections. House of Fun has released several versions of the All Stars machines … most recently HOF All Stars 4.
• Release video Shorts to establish the importance of each character. See Best Fiends Movie Shorts and videos released with new features, like Baby Slug’s Big Day Out.
• Interconnect machines and features with a collection mechanic that improves a character’s in-machine abilities. This system is a strong monetizer in many mid-core games and will require partnering closely with the Product Team.

Persona Data

• Target: Daydreamer Denise
• Reason: Daydreamer Denise shows a clear preference for challenges, collections, and quests. She does not tend to spend a lot of money … but uses game progression-based features as an escape from the pressures of everyday life.
• Valuable Characteristics: To satisfy her motivation to Escape during slots play, she enjoys long bonus games, like pick ‘em bonuses with free spins and multiple consecutive bonuses.

Additional Information

• Best Fiends (then filter Game > Best Fiends)

NOTABLE MENTION

HIGH LOW BONUS GAME

Mechanic Teardown

During the bonus game, a game of High Low can increase the bonus game multiplier. There are 10 sets and making a wrong guess ends the game. This is a proven mini-game feature added to a slots machine.
