Upcomer in iGaming Comes up with a New Slot Engine

If you ask us, it was just a matter of time when some innovative game studio would come up with a new mechanic and math model. Guess what, among such candidates was clearly an upcomer, Fantasma Games, a Stockholm-based team of developers, established in 2016.

The Swedish gaming company has just presented Titanways in a newly launched game Golden Castle, featuring a never-before-seen “ways” evaluation system with oversized symbols, capable of delivering varying ways to win and volatility with each spin!

The advancing developer of slots promises to elevate big win potential to the next level and already announces new titles in the roster, scheduled for publication later this year.

Phantom Spins, Ghost Kings and Avalanche

After Elemento, Maz Escape Megaways and Twisted Turbine, Fantasma Games is out and about with Golden Castle Titanways, a 6x6 reel video slot that sends players to the haunted remains of a gilded castle. Here they must seek out hidden treasures with the help of three bonus features – Titanways, Wild Haunt and Phantom Spins.

The latest game also comes with an avalanche feature; this function enables all winning symbols to disappear from the reels and let new symbols fall into their place to form a new sequence. On that note, icons can appear in five different sizes – 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2 and 3x3 but a symbol’s height unfortunately has no impact on its value.

After many years of domination on the market, Megaways, Infinity Reels, InfiniReels, Multiways, Hold&Win, Super Stake, Megaclusters, and other mind-boggling mechanics have finally received a real competitor in terms of gameplay – Titanways.

This new engine is based on a “ways” evaluation system that “intermingles oversized symbols to create varying wins and volatility” with each spin. In Golden Castle, a win occurs when three or more identical symbols land on consecutive reels from left to right. The win is then multiplied by the number of winning symbols per reel.

Moreover, if three or more Ghost King symbols emerge on the grid during base play, the Wild Haunt feature will be triggered, shattering a bigger symbol into multiple 1x1 icons of the same kind.

Ultimately, if players collect three or more bonus images during regular spins, 10 complimentary Phantom Spins are awarded. There is a win multiplier here as well that starts at x1 and is increased by 1 after each avalanche.

Designed for a Truly Unique UX

As stated by the Swedish studio, Golden Castle Titanways is a high-quality slot title designed primarily for mobile phones. It can easily be played with one hand and its math model is based on a solid 96.34% RTP. The maximum win can reach massive 20,000x the initial bet.

Fredrik Johansson, commercial director at Fantasma Games, said:

“Golden Castle is the first title to feature our innovative and revolutionary Titanways™ mechanic which provides an entirely new ways to win system for a unique player experience.”

The director also believes that a new innovation in mechanics will create better ways to interact with the audience and develop slots with stronger entertaining factors; the engine is optimized for both experienced casino players as well as a new generation of customers who are just discovering online gaming for the very first time.
