Machina Reloaded represents your second premium Megaways™ release. How have you maintained the Kalamba Games feel within a Megaways™ title?

Kalamba Games is perhaps best known for subverting players’ expectations around what a slot can be, and we have always achieved this by being at the cutting edge of innovation. We have carved out some truly unique and adored slots and features by developing games in this manner, and that also means we can lean on the experience when working with pre-existing mechanics. The popular Megaways™ feature allows us the opportunity to further experiment with game components rather than limit our creativity.

The first thing most players do when opening a slot title is set their bet size. We have provided them with direct interaction in this title that allows altering the number of Megaways™ available and this, in turn, changes the bet options present. This option to increase the number of Megaways™ changes the winning chances for an increased stake size and this ability to directly impact gameplay demonstrates our innovative way of creating games before a player even presses spin.

Additionally, we have implemented our Cashpot feature within Machina Reloaded Megaways™ with the highest paying symbol in the game also acting as a Cashpot. Landing 19 or more of these symbols awards the title’s max win of 37,000x!

What was the inspiration behind the aesthetics and design within the game?

I think across mass media, the Cyberpunk, futuristic style present in Machina Reloaded Megaways™ has become incredibly popular in recent years. We drew inspiration from sci-fi films in the original Machina title we created; however, that release had more of an android, arguably post-apocalyptic feeling. Machina Reloaded Megaways™ instead focuses on bright colours, highly stylised characters and vibrant neon symbols. This also transfers to the sound design within the game. Its catchy background music should instantly denote a feeling of the future with an up-tempo beat that ensures an adrenaline-filled experience during play.

Could you tell us more about the bonus game found within Machina Reloaded Megaways™?

Machina Reloaded Megaways’™ exciting bonus round can be triggered by landing at least three bonus symbols across the base game, with additional symbols awarding more spins of up to 18 in total! The bonus game has an incrementally increasing ladder to the side of the game board, and this is climbed through landing bonus symbols in the free spins round. Collecting four bonus symbols transforms the lowest paying character into the highest paying one in-game and awards two extra free spins. Landing an additional four again unlocks two extra spins and transforms the second lowest paying character into the highest paying one, and this continues until all characters transform into their highest paying iterations.

This not only increases winning potential, but these high-payers are also the Cashpot symbols, and it is here where Machina Reloaded Megaways™ begins to show its big win potential. It becomes much easier to land the 10 needed to unlock an instant cash prize with additional prizes awarded for more symbols up to the max win of 37,000x for 19 Cashpots being present on the board at one time!

All of this gameplay excitement is underpinned by the ever-changing reel sizes made possible thanks to the Megaways™ mechanic, along with a reel to the top of the game board that further increases the winning ways available. The maximum number present in both the base game and bonus game is a huge 117,649!

What else should players be looking forward to from Kalamba Games throughout the rest of 2022?

After our trip to the future with Machina Reloaded Megaways™, we will be combining features more commonly associated with bingo in our upcoming slot FruitMax: Cashlinez, which has a bonus round focused on forming winning lines and full houses of instant win prizes. We will also be looking ahead to the highly anticipated Qatar World Cup in our upcoming slot Football Blast. Kalamba enthusiasts also have a continuation of our popular Joker series to look forward to, and after that, our third premium Megaways™ release!

On top of the exciting game launches, we will also be growing our operator partners both locally and internationally, allowing more players than ever to enjoy our ever-growing list of high-quality titles from our comprehensive portfolio. We will be thrilled to come back and discuss these developments with you again in the future, and if you want to know more about our games and our journey, you can visit us at kalambagames.com.
