GOLDEN ROYALS
BY BOOMING GAMES
Booming Games’ new slot, Golden Royals, is set in the past but its dazzling gameplay
and bundle of unique features rely on the technology of the future
How would you describe Golden Royals to our readers?
Set in the opulent splendour of the aristocracy,
Golden Royals transports players back in time to meet the
kings and queens of the past, and a chance to glimpse the
riches they possess. Mesmerising animations shimmer
and scintillate enchantingly, displaying plenty of entertaining
pomp and circumstance that won’t disappoint. Based on
an ornate deck of cards, the symbols have been designed
with painstaking attention to detail and are adorned in
plenty of royal regalia. Featuring multiplying symbols,
special win formations, and variable free spins, the action
and entertainment are non-stop. With all this, it’s hardly
surprising that Golden Royals is being touted as the
king of all slots!
How does the gameplay work, and which unique
features and mechanics set Golden Royals apart
from other slots?
Golden Royals is the first slot to be developed on our
new platform, allowing us unrestricted mechanical
capabilities and previously unattainable feature
configurations. Furthermore, it enables superior
animations and effects to complement its captivating
appearance. Golden Royals has 30 paylines and
also has random wilds multipliers and double-sized
scatter symbols that can trigger free spins. Although
most players may be familiar with free spins, the
version in Golden Royals increases the multiplying
values of the random wilds multipliers and allows
players the possibility of attaining further free spins.
Golden Royals debuts the Kings on the Corners feature,
which will award a very special win if players achieve
kings in three or four corners of the game board.
As with all Booming Games’ slots, Golden Royals
is developed in HTML5 and can be played in multiple
languages and currencies, on both desktop and
mobile (in portrait or landscape).

Across which markets and platforms is the
slot available?
Golden Royals will be certified in Italy, Denmark,
Latvia and the Isle of Man, allowing us to serve our
clients in these regulated markets. It will be available
on all platforms that supply Booming Games, such as
iSoftBet, EveryMatrix, iforium, and BtoBet, in addition to
all our direct integrations. Further agreements already
signed with acclaimed operators are planned to go into
effect later this year, with upcoming agreements to be
signed for markets in the UK, Spain and Romania.
What are the main challenges in slot development
and delivery today?
In a rapidly evolving industry, it is imperative that
we can quickly integrate the latest technological
advancements into our slots to keep ahead of the
competition. The challenge is ensuring these are still
cutting edge when the titles come to market. By keeping
abreast of the latest developments and employing
the use of flexible software, we can quickly introduce
new tech, enabling us to maintain the performance
and modernity our slots are known for. Golden Royals
uses emerging technologies such as WebGL to offer
superior responsiveness and performance, and uses
the knowledge of seasoned experts, who deploy their
years of experience in the industry to craft games to the
highest of standards.
An additional challenge is serving rapidly emerging
and disparate markets. We work towards ensuring our
portfolio is especially diverse, encompassing uniquely
themed games, innovative features and volatilities
that can satisfy every spectrum of the player market,
from the casual to professional in a variety of locales.
Furthermore, by using a significant amount of in-depth
BI to ensure we are aware of the competition, we keep
ahead of the curve.
