Coming fresh off the production line from Quickspin in April is Nero’s Fortune, a historic video slot with a dark and moody theme. The gameplay is based on cluster wins, featuring stunning 3D graphics and a chance to trigger 8,575x wins.
Since the plot is set in ancient Rome during the Great Fires, ignited by the Emperor Nero himself, rendering and shading of details is supported by the studio’s latest 3D technology and engine. While the visuals may take this slot adventure to a whole new level, it is also important to highlight its tumble mechanics, high volatility, accumulating multipliers and a bonus game with complimentary spins.
As part of the promotional campaign, Quickspin has released a ‘Story Behind the Game’ where its producer, Clint Andersson, provides more insights and shares what kind of an end-product the studio wanted to create. According to Andersson, the team have listened to the players and based their entire development process on it.
By creating Nero’s Fortune, the company wanted to satisfy its “hunger for innovation and volatile game play” offering a new set of tools and 3D design with cluster pays. The idea was also to focus on bigger wins and tie the overall mood and feeling with trembling of the reels. It turns out that the concept fits well into the story, since the storyline follows ancient Rome under the rule of Nero, the last Roman emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and perhaps the cruelest imperator in history.
“According to history, Emperor Nero was finally overthrown after the ‘Great Fire of Rome’. So we wanted to give players exactly that – a feeling of victory after defeating the game with all the heavy-hitting wins,” said Andersson.
The studio’s producer is also confident that players will instantly fall in love with its upcoming April release with volatile gameplay and 3D-rendered graphics. Nero’s Fortune features the darkest theme Quickspin has ever used, including a selection of game-changing details to evoke an immersive and satisfying experience regardless of the platform.
Available in base game, the Burning Arrows feature provides a chance to create a multiplier in empty positions once the winning cluster is removed. The multiplier remains under the symbols until it’s revealed by a win in a later tumble sequence.
For collecting three or more bonus scatter symbols in a single spin, the game will initiate complimentary spins with either 10, 12 or 14 rotations. During this mode, multipliers are placed under randomly selected symbols in every spin. They accumulate throughout the entire bonus game and multiply with winnings of the symbol clusters.
The leading Swedish software studio has recently published another impressive adventure slot, Panther’s Reign. This game takes players to the Amazon, a lush tropical forest where spinning through its setting is complemented with genuine sounds of the river, exotic birds and gentle breeze.
In terms of expanding its footprint to other markets, the Playtech subsidiary has signed a commercial deal with SkillOnNet in March and Gioco Digitale in Italy last year.
