Go on a jungle adventure in the hunt for treasure in Wazdan’s latest slot, set to be released at the start of next year, titled Mighty Wild: Gorilla.
In the latest episode of SlotBeats’ Beyond the Reels, Joanna Zdanowska-Bieniek, Account Manager at Wazdan, talks about the soon-to-be-released game, which builds on the Mighty Wild series’ popularity, following Mighty Wild: Jaguar and Mighty Wild: Panther.
The launch of Mighty Wild: Gorilla goes beyond the slot itself, as the studio is working alongside a local zoo to support three gorillas through funding.
“We are really happy to be the supporters of three fantastic gorillas,” Zdanowska-Bieniek stated.
“We are going to provide the gorillas with all the support they need, help feed them and we hope that it will help to keep them in great condition. We are really proud of this decision.”
Shifting focus to the Mighty Wild series’ concept, Zdanowska-Bieniek noted that while elements of the series have not been changed, it was important for Wazdan to take players on a journey through the jungle.
“The jungle theme is really popular among our players. We wanted to portray the sense of adventure and mystery inside it. The audiovisuals correspond to that, as we made every single effort to make the game truly stand out. It simply looks beautiful. I would say that our main focus is satisfying gameplay.”
Only collector symbols are present in Mighty Wild: Gorilla, which includes multipliers to increase values and cash out symbols to gather collect symbols instantly into player winnings.
As a result, the slot has a very high volatility, in addition to two bonus games, hold the jackpot and free spins, with slight differences in comparison to previous entries in the Mighty Wild series.
Zdanowska-Bieniek clarified: “With previous releases, it was the Wild Rampage, but this time, we decided to go with advanced free spins. Both can be entered by hitting hold the jackpot or free spin symbols under a collector, respectively.
“When free spins introduce players with 10 free spins, what’s different this time is that the players can gather the value of cash and jackpot symbols through the collectors, which then pay out at the end of the bonus round.”
Chance levels are also featured in Mighty Wild: Gorilla, offering players an opportunity to increase the chance of entering a bonus round by up to 12 times.
Mighty Wild: Gorilla pays homage and builds on previous iterations of the Mighty Wild series, taking players on a treasure hunt through the wilderness on a new jungle trail.
“We can see that it keeps the atmosphere successfully, this whole picture with mystery and treasures, but what stands out here – apart from the brilliant mechanics, gameplay and bonus rounds – is that the volatility is much higher than before,” stated Zdanowska-Bieniek.
“This is much more satisfying in our eyes and rewarding for the players and it also allows a different base of players to find something engaging.”
Mighty Wild: Gorilla is scheduled to be released on 7 January.
