Two in-house Bragg Gaming Group studios have teamed up to launch an innovative new Connect & Collect feature. The engaging mechanic, employs puzzle-like gameplay, allowing players to actively link symbols and create pathways to unlock in-game rewards. Developed by Wild Streak Gaming and Atomic Slot Lab, the feature transforms the hunt for the bonus, enhancing the excitement with every spin.
How Does It Work?
The Connect & Collect feature allows players to trigger bonus rounds and other rewards by linking symbols. These symbols appear on standard reel positions and must form a continuous horizontal or vertical chain from the leftmost reel to specific special positions on reels three and six. In doing so, players can unlock the bonus associated with the position including free spins bonus, multipliers and jackpots.
On reel three, there are two designated positions, located at the top and bottom of the reel where bonus symbols can land, while on reel six, all spots are marked as special positions.
These positions offer a variety of rewards, including additional wilds, bet multipliers, free games, and jackpots, depending on the slot. The successful connection of symbols is the key to unlocking these in-game bonuses.
This dynamic mechanic is available across titles from both studios including Fire Stampede, Firebird Spirit and 7 Clovers of Fortune from Wild Streak Gaming as well as Cai Fu Emperor Ways, 7 Shields of Fortune and Almighty Pegasus Connect&Collect from Atomic Slot Lab.
What They Say
Doug Fallon, Group Director of Content and Founder, Wild Streak Gaming said: “The player response from the introduction of Connect & Collect has been fantastic which has allowed the design team to further develop the concept with more games in the family. This highly innovative design has quite a complex math engine underlying the games, but presented to the player in an easy-to-understand way with a variety of combinations of prizes that can be won.”
Niklas Mravlje, Commercial Director of Content at Bragg Gaming Group added: “Our Connect & Collect series is an example of innovation done right! The feedback we received so far on the games was extremely positive. Many operators love the concept and are more than willing to feature it. What’s more, players, too, seem to connect well with these games, which does result in many recurring visits! More to come!”
