Multipliers in online slots continue to be popular as they boost winnings, enhance excitement, and create opportunities for massive payouts. They keep gameplay engaging and dynamic, attracting players with the promise of substantial rewards. We spoke with Lloyd Roberts, Head of Studio at Slammer Studios to discuss the future of this feature.
Mystic Multipliers is set to hit online casino game lobbies this month. Tell us more about the game and what players can expect.
“Mystic Multipliers sees players step into a land of magical thrills and captivating rewards. We’ve turned to the Druids for inspiration for this game, which takes the Cascading Reels format and includes feature drops including Wilds, Symbol Transformation, Reel Expansions, Free Spins, Respins and, as the name suggests, plenty of Multipliers. The Cascading Reels help to keep the action alive by paving the way for new wins beyond the initial spin with increasing Multipliers also coming into play. Players love mystical slots with the Druids providing a spell-binding theme that intrigues and draws players to the game where they can enter a place of magic and mystery with plenty of big win potential, too.”
Multipliers play a prominent role in the gameplay. How have you put your own spin on the mechanic?
“We know that players often want to unlock massive multipliers when playing slot games and Mystic Multipliers allows them to do just that. Multipliers are Progressive and form part of the core gameplay, growing with every Cascade in the base game. But that’s not all. Multipliers can hit a massive 500x during the Free Spins bonus round because we have combined the mechanic with Expanding Reels which can Lock into place and with level jumps that help boost the Multiplier all the way up to that impressive 500x. There’s also the Druid Double Up feature which doubles the Multiplier value, and even a scatter respin feature. As you can see, we’ve taken the standard Multiplier mechanic and added some serious Druid magic to it.”
Is it a good mechanic for trying new things and combining it with other bonus features?
“Absolutely. Standard Multipliers have the potential to turn a small win into a magical win but when you make it Progressive or combine it with other bonuses like Wilds and Free Spins, it transforms the gameplay. This bonus feature is one of the most exciting for building anticipation, especially as players watch the Multiplier increase in real-time, ramping up their potential payout. The simplicity of the core mechanic makes it easy for players to understand how it works while giving studios plenty of scope to try new things and add layers to how it triggers and plays out, which is what we have done in Mystic Multipliers.”
What makes multipliers so popular with players? Will we see them appear in more Slammer Studios slots over the coming months?
“Because they turn small wins into big wins. When you make Multipliers Progressive or combine them with other bonus features, you create a thrilling experience for the player – anyone who has played a Multiplier slot will know the feeling of excitement that starts to rise. The big win is what you’ll be waiting for, but with Multipliers, the way you get there is just as exciting as the prize itself. And yes, we will absolutely be including Multipliers in the next run of slots to leave our production line.”
The Druids make for an interesting game theme. What made you go for this theme with Mystic Multipliers?
“There’s high demand for magical and mystical slots, but very few have been based around the Druids. We saw this as an opportunity to bring another dimension to the genre while ensuring Mystic Multipliers stood out from the other slots in the category. Our design team has done an incredible job of capturing the mysticism of the Druids and we’ve worked hard to tie the gameplay into the theme through the Druid feature drops. We believe this makes Mystic Multipliers one of the most magical slot releases of the year and we are confident it will hit the mark with fans of slots with Cascading Reels, Progressive Multipliers and other Druid-inspired bonus features.”
What else can we expect from Slammer Studios over the coming months?
“We are super excited to see Mystic Multipliers hit online casino game lobbies in March with the game being available exclusively through Relax Gaming’s Silver Bullet Platform. The team is already focused on our next game release and the other titles that make up our product roadmap for 2025. At Slammer, we combine creativity and technical excellence and dare to be different but without losing sight of what players want from a slot game. We only launched at the tail end of last year but already have great momentum behind the business – signing with Relax was a major moment, as was our first game, Magawa Vs Mines, hitting the market. Mystic Multipliers builds on this and positions us for big things over the coming 12 months and beyond.”
