Optimizing an iGaming Platform for Engagement, Speed, and Profitability 

Background

In the fiercely competitive online casino industry, many platforms struggle to differentiate themselves while relying on standard game offerings. Recognizing this gap, CatCasino sought a fresh approach to captivate players and boost retention through exclusive, high-impact content. 

They partnered with Symphony Solutions to develop unique slot games featuring cascading reels, multipliers, and bonus rounds—designed to extend play sessions and drive revenue. The result: visually rich, immersive games that integrated seamlessly into CatCasino’s platform and delivered a standout player experience. 

Client

CatCasino is a leading online casino based in Cyprus. They have over 3000 games in their portfolio, from classic slots to table games and live dealer experiences. Focused on quality, security, and player satisfaction, CatCasino continuously seeks innovative ways to enhance its gaming experience, attract new players, and retain loyal ones. 

Challenge

CatCasino sought to introduce two innovative slot games to their platform, aiming to captivate players and set new standards for engagement. However, they faced several critical challenges that needed to be addressed for a successful launch: 

• Seamless Real-Time Backend Integration: Ensuring each game integrated flawlessly with CatCasino’s Remote Game Server (RGS) was paramount to delivering a stable, real-time gaming experience. 

• High Volatility with Reward Appeal: To attract thrill-seeking players, the games needed to offer high volatility and a maximum win potential capped at an impressive 25,000x the stake. 

• Feature-Rich Gameplay for Engagement: Incorporating advanced features like cascading reels, multipliers, free spins, super free spins, and a Bonus Buy option was vital to create immersive and engaging gameplay. 

• Compliance with RNG and RTP Standards: Each game required robust RNG mechanisms and carefully calibrated RTP values of 95.5% and 96.5% to ensure fair play and maintain player trust. 

By addressing these challenges, CatCasino aimed to expand its game portfolio with titles that not only stood out in the competitive iGaming landscape but also delivered an exceptional experience to players.
