SpinPlay<\/strong><\/a> Games is a reputable independent gaming studio working with Microgaming<\/strong><\/a> since 2020.<\/p>\n Its portfolio might not contain hundreds of titles, but it\u2019s certainly a name to remember. The fully remote Las Vegas-based studio is a breath of fresh air in the saturated gambling market, and it\u2019s about to become an even bigger player, all thanks to its exciting releases in 2022. Have a look at what its CEO and founder Anton Kuhlmann shared with CasinosOnline.<\/p>\n Hi. I\u2019m Anton Kuhlmann \u2013 Founder and CEO of SpinPlay Games. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. I\u2019m a Las Vegas native, and so I had the rare opportunity of growing up surrounded by casinos. I worked on the casino side for several years before starting my career in game design and production. I am a true gamer at heart and have always been obsessed with games of all types: slots, card games, video games, board games, casual games – I love them all!<\/strong><\/p>\n We started SpinPlay a few years ago and it\u2019s been amazing to be able to make the games that we do for our players.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our studio has a strong DNA in gaming, with a wealth of experience from different segments of the wider industry. Serena and I started in the industry together as game mathematicians, making slot games for physical cabinets. We spent some time at several big providers in the US, and from there transitioned to making games for social casinos. We then split off to establish SpinPlay Games, with a team coming from social gaming, land-based gaming, and of course iGaming.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n We built our first game when we were a small team of six, and today we have grown to a count of 25 team members in the studio.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n We are a fully remote studio, and our team has really flourished in this environment. Everyone is a key contributor to the studio, and that ownership really lets us run together. It\u2019s a great group of friendly and passionate superstars that love what they do – making awesome games together.<\/strong><\/p>\n Several of us grew up in Las Vegas, and it definitely has had an impact on how we see slots and the experience of playing them. We like to say that gaming is in our blood. We meet for lunch at a local casino and play some games on the floor, share those experiences, and really get into the flow of the gameplay.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Amazing Link\u2122 feature and pick feature that are core to the series give the game a solid baseline, and the major enhancement for each title is in the free spins. Our original title, Amazing Link\u2122 Zeus, features the roaming wild amazing reel, and in Apollo you can retrigger while upgrading reels for the remaining free spins to have only wild or Amazing symbols. We\u2019re looking forward to the release of Amazing Link\u2122 Fates this March, which gives players an entirely new free spins experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Right now, my favourite has to be Amazing Link\u2122 Fates coming out soon. We\u2019re working on future games for the series, so that may change later in the year. One of the challenges of making games is that we\u2019re always so excited about what is going to happen 9-12 months from now, with the games in our early creative development.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
