Slingshot Studios is a software producer that works exclusively for Microgaming, at least for the time being. This has been a growing trend in the industry, and with this company starting its trek in 2016 this has probably been the best way to expand into the heavily competitive industry.
There are several titles in production...
...with their first game Cash of Kingdoms clearly showing the advantages of working solely for a single client: quality is good across the field.
The company has concentrated its effort and excellence into a few main areas: illustration, animation, development, testing, composition, and production. This is combined with the skills and will necessary to break existing molds, in order to either learn or improve them.
Given how many thousands of slots are already in existence this is exactly something that the industry needs. Once again, time will tell how well Slingshot Studios will deliver on their promises.
Product Tour
The first thing out of the oven was, as mentioned, the Cash of Kingdoms slot. The RTP here is slightly above 96%. This is something that the industry has pretty much settled on during the last few years. When it comes to features there are several types of wilds, some that stack and some that show up at random.
Free spins likewise come in several different formats
Not exactly the top of innovation, but different enough from your normal wilds or free spins to feel like there has been a change of some sort. If you compare this to Microgaming slots there certainly have been improvements in graphics, animations, and the world of sounds as well. Pretty easy to see why Microgaming has decided to enlist smaller studios to produce for them.
Invading wilds
The first special feature to show up in the studio's games is the so-called Invading Wilds. In their first game, these occur both in the base game and during free spins. But what is it that they do then? Well, the wilds simply invade adjacent reels, turning them into wilds as well. Add in some multipliers, and it’s clear that this is a feature that is going to bring the big bucks in.
Is it innovative though?
Not really, the market already has plenty of slots with expanding and invading wilds. It all depends on how this plays out in the individual games.
Current Licenses
The company does not hold any licenses or at least has not made the information available publicly. As Slingshot Studios is working for Microgaming we can, however, assume that everything is well within order here.
Getting Down to Brass Tacks
Slingshot Studios is one of the world's most commonly used online software providers. No shocker there but did you know that there are 636 featuring these games listed here on LCB? In fact, the general consensus among you after 51092 votes, is that these operators have earned an average rating of 3.3 out of 5 making it one of the most preferred in the industry.
