Genii launches new slots concept Spin16

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Gaming technology provider Genii has launched Spin16, a groundbreaking new slots product line that allows players to interact directly with the reels, spinning any reel in any direction rather than just pressing a single spin button.

Video slots haven’t really changed since the first mechanical one-armed bandit, despite now being hugely popular on mobile and tablet devices.

Spin16, patented technology from Genii, represents a huge change in the way video slots are played – it leverages the full area of touchscreen devices and the ubiquitous swipe action. This allows players to swipe up, down, left and right, producing a far more interactive and engaging slots experience.

Nick Barr, Genii sales director, said, “There has been very little true innovation in slots over the past few decades. Yes, the graphics look nicer, but the way they are played hasn’t really changed. Spin16 is a truly unique slots concept which is built for today’s devices.

“The games are still very much video slots – they retain enough similarity to the recognized format for easy player transition, but also feel new and improved. We’re very excited about the potential of Spin16 and feel it can truly shake up the slots market.”

The multi-directional spin is not just a cosmetic feature; it also has a real effect on the game outcome. The second phase match game results in multiplier bonuses on any payline wins for matching the house pick, which adds an extra layer of excitement on every spin.

There is also a ‘spin cold’ and ‘spin hot’ feature where players can choose to follow the direction which is currently the coldest or hottest based on live results from other players online at the time.

Spin16 games are supported on Windows, Apple and Android platforms and are available on desktop, tablet and mobile. New Genii operators can take individual games on-demand through an API supporting seamless wallet integration.

Genii, licensed in U.K. and Malta, boasts a games portfolio of 130+ multichannel games designed to enhance player experience.

These games are managed through Genii’s Insight back office, driven by the real-time Intuition Engine which uses push technology to communicate key information to back office users through the expressive use of color, motion and visualization.
