Q&A: Head of Studio, Ihor Lozynskyi, speaks to Machineslotonline.it
Push Gaming's Head of Studio, Ihor Lozynskyi, spoke to Machineslotonline.it about 10 Flaming Bisons, which is set to release in Italy on 12.03.2025!
We are here today to talk about the next slot that Push Gaming is about to release in Italy, 10 Flaming Bisons. Can you tell us a little more about this game?
This game invites players to embark on an exciting journey through the great American frontier, where thrilling bonus games and jackpot prizes await. With a 5-reel, 20-payline design, the game introduces the innovative Push Up mechanic, allowing players to expand the gameboard and unlock a unique layer of strategy rarely found in online slots.
It also stands out for its progressive free spins feature, instant win prizes, and the chance to land one of four jackpots, the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Mega Jackpot — that every player aspires to win.
What new options are players offered thanks to the Push Up mechanic?
The Push Up mechanic gives ambitious players the chance to expand the gameboard, increasing their opportunities for bigger wins and more frequent bonus features. Players can first expand the gameboard to 5x4 in size, this comes at the cost of 2.5x the base game bet amount.
For those looking to maximize their winning potential, the gameboard can be further expanded to a 5x5 in size by increasing their bet to 5x the base game wager, unlocking even greater winning possibilities.
Why do you think 10 Flaming Bisons, an American-themed slot, will perform well with Italian players?
We deeply understand player preferences in key markets worldwide, and we have always seen that Italian players love classic slot themes. It goes without saying that 10 Flaming Bisons falls into that category. We’re never going to rest on our laurels and assume a game will be an instant hit; we tailor our content for specific markets and ensure this has all the makings of a game Italian players will enjoy!
10 Flaming Bisons is already live in other countries. How has the game performed so far, and will Push Gaming incorporate the Push Up mechanic into more games in 2025?
10 Flaming Bisons has performed fantastically in Canada where it was ranked amongst top games in the region, we’ve also seen great success in the United Kingdom. There will most certainly be conversations about what we can do next should the Push Up mechanic continue to perform well in key markets worldwide.
This game clearly draws inspiration from 10 Swords, a 2023 release. Will Push continue to look at your older releases for inspiration?
Absolutely! You only have to look at our portfolio to know that we love to improve further and evolve some of the fantastic games we have released over the years. If it’s not a direct sequel such as Razor Returns, Wild Swarm 2 and Retro Sweets, it’ll be something more akin to 10 Flaming Bisons that takes inspiration from a previous title but elevated to a brand-new level thanks to innovative new features and mechanics.
Do you think there’s a future in Risk vs Reward style games?
I am extremely confident that this game style will be popular for years to come. You only have to briefly examine the kind of content streamers are playing to see that action-packed gameplay will be the main draw for players in 2025.
Practically every game out there offers players the opportunity to up the ante, allowing for big wins, or use a bonus buy feature to trigger features immediately. Gone are the days of dead spins; it truly is the time for bonus features to be accessible to players.
What Push Gaming titles are coming to Italy in the coming months?
Italian players can look forward to Jaguar Drop and Mystery of the Nile next! We think both titles will go down well with players in this market as they offer rich features combined with state of the art concept rebuild of the themes, something we believe will be highly appealing.
