Hello, and thank you for participating in this interview for your upcoming release of the game Mighty Mammoth. Before we dive into the details, could you please take a moment to briefly describe who you are and your role in the development of this exciting game, so our readers can get to know you better?

- Hi Aboutslots readers, thank you for the opportunity to showcase our latest slot game, Mighty Mammoth. My name is Connor Blinman, and I am the Head of Games here at Gaming Corps; my role is to lead the product development and game strategy for an array of casino content. Working directly with a number of key individuals, including Mathematicians, Art Directors, Product Owners, Lead Developers, and QA, it’s our job to create amazing player experiences on all of our products.

1. Describe Mighty Mammoth in three words!

- Powerful, Potential, Exciting!

2. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind creating Mighty Mammoth and why you decided to focus on the mammoth theme?

- We wanted to end the year in spectacular fashion with Mighty Mammoth, and it’s our most creatively challenging game yet. The Mammoth itself was something that we’ve seen a trend in the industry lately. Players have taken a liking to the Mammoth as a mysterious animal that once roamed the earth, plus there’s something truly mighty about the creature itself. 

Usually, in these scenarios, when developing a slot game, the mechanic will come first. We had the idea for the mechanic and wanted to have a stacked High-Paying symbol with a multiplier; it felt right to pair something with so much power with the Mighty Mammoth.

 3. The bonus game in Mighty Mammoth allows players to eliminate lower multipliers and aim only to be able to land the 10X multiplier gradually. Can you explain the decision-making process behind this mechanic and the impact it has on the overall player experience?

- With this game, we wanted to create the progression-based Free Spins feature so that players can experience the Free Spins frequently with some potential before chasing the long-term goal of unlocking that 10X multiplier. 

It was a hard decision to make and a fine balance between wanting to give the player everything in one go while still having a sense of accomplishment as they progressed. If we give everything in one go then the Free Spins frequency would be even rarer and the reason to return wouldn’t be as strong.

 The great thing is that even in the main game, the player can experience the 10X multiplier and even get the 1000X Mammoth if they are lucky! We wanted to put that potential into the main game so that players were able to hit big win potential on any spin.

4. Mammoth-themed slots have gained popularity in the industry. How did you ensure that Mighty Mammoth stood out from other mammoth-themed games?

- Our artwork and style, high-quality finish and innovative mechanic in the High-Paying multiplier stack helps the game stand out among the crowd. We’ve had plenty of feedback when showcasing the game to casinos that say our Mammoth symbol itself is very striking and immediately grabs your attention. It is a stand out and we hope that players feel the same way.

5. Could you tell us about some of your recent projects and how they have influenced or inspired the creation of Mighty Mammoth?

- Definitely. So this game has the exact same reel layout (3-4-4-4-3) as our very popular game “Wild Woof”. The Free Spins also has a similar feel with a progression system that increases the potential as you collect more Scatters. It is safe to say that we saw the success with Wild Woof and took some of the best parts.

On the contrary, we want to create each product with a lot of diversity; if you look at our most recent releases, “Lobster Hotpot,” “Destino das Almas,” and “Super Hot Stacks,” all 3 of these games are relatively medium volatility. We wanted to end the year with a bang and create a super high volatility slot to appeal to a different subset of players, and we feel as if Mighty Mammoth does exactly that.

 6. As a game developer, what do you see as the most rewarding aspect of creating slot games like Mighty Mammoth? Are there any particular moments or experiences during the development of this game that stood out to you personally?

- For me, I have 2 very rewarding parts of creating slot games; 1 is seeing an idea come to life. I often write ideas on the Notes app on my phone months and months before the game development starts. It is a very rewarding experience to see an idea go from text on a screen to full-fledged high-octane action on a screen!

The second part is seeing players like yourselves love and enjoy our slot content, reviewing and playing the game, and sharing your experience with others. Then those players will play the game and hopefully enjoy it as much as us.

A moment that stood out to me during development was when we were all testing the game and sharing screenshots of our Mighty Mammoth epic wins. It was truly a moment where we realized this game was going to be a fun one for the players as the potential is loud and clear.

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Finally, do you have anything you would like to say to our readers?

- Once again, thank you for the opportunity to discuss our latest release, Mighty Mammoth. It has been a joyous game to develop, and we hope that players enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed creating. Always keep an eye out for the latest Gaming Corps product; we have some exciting games to come in 2024. We are just getting started.
