Evoplay wins Spinnovator Award for Sprinkle Slot Machine

Tweet

Cute, cuddly, award winning 3D VR slots experience from Evoplay.

Slot machines have been “raging” with innovation for more than a century. The first drum-based, bar-top games were “all the rage” in the late 19th century. Then it was fruit machines, awarding sticks of gum. Next, video slots blasted onto the scene in the 1970s, followed by internet slots in the late 1990’s. Online gaming slowly evolved into a 3D slot experience, and now, “all the rage” belongs to the fascinating realm of virtual reality (VR).

It’s taken time for this particular fancy to take off. The technology is there, but far less than a majority of the people own it. And for that reason, one company has been gearing its digital slot machines towards a combined 3D and VR experience, and its turning more than a few heads.

Evoplay’s Award Winning 3D VR Slots, Sprinkles

Evoplay has only been developing online gaming software since 2017, and already its portfolio consists of 60+ interactive titles. Evoplay’s embrace of the latest technology and their mobile-first attitude is spearheading a whole new era of 3D/VR gambling.

In 2018, the company debuted the world’s first 3D + VR slot machine at ICE. That game, called Necromancer, wowed audiences from all over the globe. Now, their latest 3D VR release, the Sprinkle slot machine, is attracting so much attention, it’s harvesting admirable awards for innovation.

Sprinkle was awarded the Spinnovator of the Year Award at last month’s Spinnovation Summit 2019, held in Prague. It is a prestigious award, indeed, recognizing Sprinkle as the industry’s leading innovation.

This new generation of gaming tech is equally designed to thrill a new generation of gamers. The panel of judges at last weekend’s summit were especially impressed with mobile first mechanics, encompassing beautifully rendered 3D graphics for traditional hand-held play, and a wholly immersive, 360° panoramic world for those with VR viewing capabilities.

Evoplay Molding the Future of Slots

“The future of slots is all about creating a gaming experience that responds to the patterns of behaviour of the new generation,” said Evoplay CEO Alexander Levchenko. “We’re looking forward to kick-starting this future and making slots more immersive than ever before!”

He expressed the company’s “absolute delight” in winning the Spinnovator of the Year Award, which he described as “one of the industry’s most prestigious awards for innovation. There is so much fantastic technology available for development studios to harness, and the emerging generation of players need an entirely new approach.”

Sprinkle Slot Machine: Beyond Cute and Cuddly

Like many of Evoplay’s enigmatic themes, Sprinkle carries an extra terrestrial theme. But these aliens aren’t the scary, odd-number-eyeball variety. They’re the cutest, cuddliest little balls of blubber you’ve ever seen. The designers made sure to give them an extra adorable appearance, with large, sad eyes none could resist.

These colorful creatures exist on 5×3 reels with 25 bet lines, set in in a dark, oceanic world surrounded by aquatic flora and vibrant, underwater mushrooms. The white, crowned blob is the wild, substituting for all standard symbols. A firefly feature sends fireflies onto the reels, landing only upon high-paying symbols. Those symbols become sticky for 3 free re-spins.
