Today we’re joined by Nick Formosa, Head of Client Strategy at Just Slots
Q1. For readers discovering Just Slots for the first time, how would you describe the studio, and what do you want your games to be known for?
A gaming software development studio founded by true industry experts, built to deliver real value to players and operators.
Known for creating high-quality, commercially driven games with unique twists that are both entertaining and diverse.
Committed to delivering titles in the most accessible, flexible, and efficient way possible.
Modern games built for modern players using modern technologies.
Q2. What was the original vision behind launching Just Slots, and how has that vision evolved as your portfolio has grown?
Founded in response to a clear gap in the market; operators needed a broader portfolio of diverse, high-quality games, but supply wasn’t keeping up with demand.
The original vision: provide games that players love while helping operators drive revenues.
That vision has been reinforced by strategic investment, allowing the studio to accelerate its launch plans.
Operationally, the focus has sharpened around scalability and efficiency, building internal frameworks that allow high-quality games to be delivered at the speed operators actually need.
Q3. Your games already cover very different themes and moods, from dark fantasy to quirky humour. How important is variety to the Just Slots brand?
Variety is very important to us because it allows us to connect with different types of players. At the same time, we focus on maintaining consistency in our design by paying close attention to detail and delivering a polished experience. We are now making a strong emphasis on narrative. Our themes and features are designed to work together to tell a story.
Q4. When you’re creating a new slot, what do you focus on first: the theme and visual identity, the overall player experience, or the features and mechanics?
It’s always a combination of all three, but the player experience comes first. We aim to create games that feel engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. At the same time, we’re building a strong portfolio of features that we can refine and present in new ways to keep players engaged.
Q5. Looking at some of your leading titles like Vegan Nightmare, Shogun Skylord and Book of Abyss, do you feel there’s a ‘Just Slots signature’ that connects them all?
Yes, definitely. While each game stands on its own with a unique identity, there is a shared approach behind them. We focus on creating strong narratives and distinctive features, and we see our games as part of a broader “Just Slots universe,” where titles can evolve into sequels or expand on existing ideas.
Q6. If a player enjoyed one of your games and wanted to explore more of the Just Slots portfolio, which titles would you recommend that they try next, and why?
We design our games with both uniqueness and familiarity in mind. For example, if a player enjoyed Shogun Skylord, we would recommend Rain and Ruin, which builds on similar excitement but introduces new twists in its features. Likewise, players who liked Sugar Heaven may enjoy Vegan Nightmare, where a comparable core mechanic is presented with a completely different theme and style.
Q7. What can slot fans expect from Just Slots in the near future in terms of future releases, the style of games, and the kind of experiences you want to deliver next?
Players can expect fun, engaging experiences with a strong focus on quality. We’re leveraging our frameworks to deliver a higher number of releases in a shorter time, each packed with unique features and polished gameplay. Our goal is to keep surprising players while maintaining a consistently high standard across all our games.
