Q&A – DonKey & the GOATS by Avatar UX

In this exclusive interview with Hannah Farrugia, Head of Product & Product Strategy at Avatar UX, we enter the ring of excitement and dive into the captivating world of their recently released video slot, DonKey & the GOATS. With a reputation for pushing boundaries and delivering innovative gaming experiences, Hannah provides us with an inside look at the inspiration and creative process behind this adrenaline-packed game. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind DonKey & the GOATS and explore Hannah's vision that has brought this unique slot to life.

Hello, and thank you for participating in this interview of your newly launched game DonKey & the GOATS.

1. Describe DonKey & the GOATS in three words!

– Adrenalin-packed, Unique, Entertaining.

2. Moving from pixies and fairies to fight promoters and boxers is quite the leap. What sparked your interest in this theme?

– We wanted to challenge ourselves with a fresh and unexpected theme that would stand out in the world of slot games. The combination of legendary promoter Don King and boxing's greatest stars offered a unique and exciting concept for our team.

3. You’re obviously famous for your household Pop mechanic. DonKey & the GOATS is one of the very few games that doesn’t use it. Are you looking to expand your portfolio with more “non-Pop” games like this in the future, or is this a one-off?

– While we are known for our PopWins™ mechanic, DonKey & the GOATS was an opportunity for us to explore new avenues and demonstrate our versatility. We're certainly creating more "non-Pop" games in the future, but our primary focus remains on delivering innovative and entertaining experiences for players.

4. Is it extra challenging to make a slot like this when you’re so used to the Pop games, or does that sense of more freedom make it easier?

– Creating DonKey & the GOATS was indeed a different experience, but it was also liberating. It allowed our team to think outside the box and experiment with various features and mechanics. While it presented unique challenges, the sense of freedom inspired our creativity and made the development process both exciting and rewarding.

5. The game has been out for a month or so now, how has it been received by the community? Are people disappointed or happy that it’s different from your normal releases?

– We've received positive feedback from players who appreciate the departure from our usual PopWins™ games. DonKey & the GOATS has been well-received for its uniqueness, exciting features, and the refreshing change it brings to our portfolio. It seems that players have embraced the diversity in our game offerings.

6. For AvatarUX, how long is the procedure from idea to final product, on average?

– The time it takes to develop a slot game can vary depending on the complexity of the concept and features. On average, from the initial idea to the final product, it typically takes several months. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that each game meets our quality standards and provides an enjoyable gaming experience.

7. What can players expect when they visit DonKey & the GOATS?

– Players can expect an engaging experience when they spin on DonKey & the GOATS. With its unique theme and plethora of features, it offers a fresh perspective on slot gameplay. They can anticipate a dynamic game that provides ample opportunities for big wins. With features that trigger quite frequently in the Vegas Reel Rewards (unlocked by landing Donkey symbols), there’s plenty of action to enjoy, such as Wild Bombs, Synced Reels, and Low Pay Removal. I personally really enjoy landing multiple of these rewards together as a combination, it completely turns the tide of the bonus session. Players also have different play modes that they can choose from in the game’s Xpress menu, so there’s direct access to the Vegas Reel rewards.

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Finally, do you have anything you would like to say to our readers?

– We want to express our gratitude to our players and the gaming community for their continued support. We're committed to delivering innovative and enjoyable slot experiences, and your feedback is invaluable.
