Top Tenner – Interview with Realistic Games

Interview with Raj Varadarajah

The online gaming industry is one that is constantly growing and evolving.

Every year, studios work to put out the most innovative, exciting and visually impressive releases possible. This year, Realistic Games showcased this innovation with Top Tenner.

Offering a thrilling experience that promises to fuse classic charm with modern excitement, Top Tenner's standout mechanic is the ‘win again' feature, where players have the opportunity to be awarded their last ten wins again.

We sat down with Raj Varadarajah, Game Producer at Realistic Games, to chat to him some more about this new release.

Top Tenner Base Game

Chloe: Hi Raj! Top Tenner is a very unique game with lots of moving parts. Can you give us a basic overview as to how exactly the game works?

Raj: Top Tenner is an electrifying slot game that tracks your top 10 wins, adding a thrilling layer of strategy to every spin. Hit 3 Scatters, and the action kicks into overdrive – triggering Free Spins with 3x multipliers if your total is under 30x, or cashing out your Top Ten list between 30x and 150x.

Reach the magic 150x, and you'll unlock Jackpot Mode, where the reels spin endlessly, and every win pushes you closer to massive payouts on the Jackpot ladder.

It’s a high-stakes, high-reward experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
 
Chloe: Should the Top Ten list prove popular with players and operators, and can we expect more games featuring similar mechanics?

Raj: Absolutely! We already have one other game in production that uses a similar mechanics. We have a good feeling about this game!

Chloe: Realistic have opted to give this game a retro theme with very modern gameplay; do you think this the sort of game that would translate well into other themes?

Raj: The mechanics and features in this game could lend themselves well to other themes, they are not specific to a retro style game due to the features being more ‘up to date' and in line with trends we are seeing across the industry.

For example, if this were an Irish themed game, the top ten could be collected in a pot of gold and the prize trail could be portrayed in a rainbow.
 
Chloe: How receptive have you found your core audience to be when it comes to getting to grips with new features and mechanics?

Raj: Generally speaking our core audience is very receptive to new and innovative features/mechanics, the industry is ever evolving and ultimately the players are looking to be entertained and get excited about a new game, which allows for room to be creative with our features.

The goal is to ensure that the features are enjoyable whilst not over complicating them, this way our core audience will have no trouble getting to grips with them.

There will always be players who like to stick with what they know, however, the vast majority of players are keen to try something new.

If you're looking for a slot game that combines excitement, strategy, and big win potential, Top Tenner is the perfect choice.

Chloe: If you had to convince someone to play Top Tenner for the very first time, what would you say to them?

Raj: If you're looking for a slot game that combines excitement, strategy, and big win potential, Top Tenner is the perfect choice.

Not only do you get the thrill of every spin, but with the unique Top Ten list tracking your wins, every victory adds up.

The game offers multiple layers of features that will keep you on your toes!
