Wild Game Reserve (WGR), the in-house game development studio of platform provider Odobo, has released its first HTML5 slot game which is now available to operators via the Odobo Marketplace. The Oddventurers: Quest for the Bird of Pay is the first HTML5 slot game to be developed by Odobo’s dedicated internal game studio.
Mark McGinley, studio manager at WGR, said that the game has been designed to combine “the most effective features of social, casual and AAA gaming (video gaming) with the best practices essential for real-money gaming.”
“We’re thrilled with the result. By having our own in-house studio we are able to experience the developer journey first hand and feedback to the wider Odobo team in order to continually improve the Developer Program for other approved studios,” said McGinley.
The safari adventure-themed game features 25 paylines, wilds, free spins and four interactive bonus games. A special multiplier wild is available on the central reel and can double line payouts while multiple bonus games offer greater variety at different win levels. For players seeking better returns, the game also features retriggering free spins – giving the potential for more significant wins.
Odobo founder and CEO Ashley Lang said: “The Oddventurers showcases the exceptional talent within our internal game studio. It is an achievement and offers the WGR team the opportunity to highlight its creativity and production skills while creating a business case for further research and development.
“The knowledge garnered from this project has led to the creation of new tools and capabilities that will benefit all our approved developers and those joining our Developer Program.”
The Gibraltar-based WGR team that built the game from concept to certification is comprised of games professionals who joined Odobo from Rockstar, IGT, Konami, Popcap, Bullfrog Productions, Badoo, Crytech and Microsoft Games Studio.
