The game, which has recently been released, is just starting to make its way to casino floors as this article is published. In a companion to this piece coming up soon, the Everi team graciously shared some insight as to how a slot machine comes together in the first place, and what roles are needed to develop a successful slot machineīut today, we’ll look at a specific release, in this case the Smokin’ Hot Stuff Wicked Wheel Fire & Ice extension, and how it came together, thanks to an interview with Dustin Dies, a Game Designer at Everi’s Studio 7.
I thought it would be a great game to talk a bit with someone in the know to learn how a slot machine, and particular an extension, comes together. I was able to check out the changes at G2E, as well as meet Coty Goodwin, who served as producer for both the original and this latest effort.
One of Everi’s biggest hits in recent years has been Smokin’ Hot Stuff Wicked Wheel, so it’s not surprising that they’re back with an extension that takes the concept further.
