Welcome to an exclusive interview with James Jelliffe, the Head of Game Design at Stakelogic. Today, we’ll venture into the frosty and magical world of Snowflake Sorcery, our latest online slot release.
Hi James, thank you for joining us today. We’re excited to learn more about Snowflake Sorcery. Can you start by telling us what inspired the theme for this game?
James Jelliffe: Absolutely! Snowflake Sorcery is inspired by the enchanting elements of a snowy winter combined with magical sorcery. We created a world where players could experience the wonder of a snow-filled landscape while being immersed in the mystique of magical spells and powerful enchantments. The combination of these elements provided a unique and captivating scene for the game.
One of the unique aspects of Snowflake Sorcery is the Witches. Can you tell us more about how these work?
JJ: The Witches add a real anticipation layer to the game. The level of each Witch indicates the number of Wilds the Witch will cast below on the reels, enhancing the gameplay experience. The Wilds are placed randomly on the chosen spell direction and substitute for all symbols except the Bonus Symbol. This feature really keeps players engaged and rewarded as they continue their journey throughout the game.
The Free Spins feature is always a highlight in slot games. How does it work in Snowflake Sorcery?
JJ: In Snowflake Sorcery, landing three or more Bonus Symbols triggers the Free Spins. Depending on the number of Bonus Symbols, players can receive up to 30 free spins. The Witches are progressive over the course of the Free Spins and each collection of a bonus symbol increases their level. Players can scale up the Witches powers over the Free Spins to produce huge amounts of Wilds on the reels, generating fantastic wins!
What about the Free Spins re-trigger feature? How can players benefit from it?
JJ: During the Free Spins round, if players land three or more Bonus Symbols again, the feature is re-triggered, awarding additional Free Spins. This leads to extended gameplay and higher potential winnings, making the Free Spins round even more rewarding and engaging.
Snowflake Sorcery also offers a Buy Bonus feature. What motivated you to include this option?
JJ: The Super Stake feature is a great addition to Snowflake Sorcery. When activated, it adds 0.5x to the bet and increases the chances of triggering the game’s special features, particularly the Free Spins round. This optional side bet adds an extra layer of excitement, as players can enjoy more frequent access to bonus rounds and heightened winning opportunities.
Can you tell us about the Super Stake feature in Snowflake Sorcery and how it enhances gameplay?
JJ: The Super Stake feature really enhances Snowflake Sorcery. When players activate the Super Stake, they increase their bet by 0.5 and doubles the chance of triggering the Free Spins. It’s perfect for players who are looking for a higher level of engagement and more frequent access to the coveted Free Spins round.
Finally, what do you hope players take away from their experience with Snowflake Sorcery?
JJ: We hope players find Snowflake Sorcery to be a captivating and rewarding experience. Our goal was to create a game that is not only visually and audibly enchanting but also offers engaging gameplay with unique and suspenseful features. We want players to feel the magic and excitement as they spin the reels, upgrade the Witches, and unlock thrilling bonuses. Ultimately, we aim to provide an engaging gaming experience that keeps players coming back for more.
Thank you, James, for giving us an inside look at Snowflake Sorcery. We’re excited to see players’ reactions to this magical game!
JJ: Thank you! I hope everyone enjoys the magic we created in Snowflake Sorcery.
