We discussed it with Abhishek Singh, Game Producer at Wizard Games. We also took the opportunity to ask him some other questions about the future projects of this production company and the iGaming world in general.

Can you tell us what inspired Wizard Games to develop Wynmor’s Tales?

Ever since the studio launched, we knew that we wanted to create a memorable brand mascot that represented Wizard Games. After giving it some thought we realised that there was no better character to represent Wizard than Wynmor, a mighty sorcerer. We then set about to build a game around this character.

Wynmor’s Tales was purpose built for players who like to immerse themselves in the magic of fantasy worlds, not only does it feature engaging gameplay with great features and mechanics, but it also boasts a great storytelling potential thanks to magical world we’ve built.

If you’re after something that’s filled with adventure, spells and mysteries than this one’s for you.

This is a game that looks like it has a deep and compelling plot, who exactly is Wynmor?

Wynmor is essentially THE wizard of Wizard Games. Wynmor’s Tales revolves around his thrilling adventures as the lead character in this fantasy-themed slot.

Right now, we’re only just introducing Wynmor to players for the very first time, but rest assured there’s a whole lot more to come from this mysterious wizard in the not-too-distant future. The early reception to Wynmor has been fantastic and we fully intend on featuring him in future releases.

How does Wynmor’s Tales – The Rise work and what features and mechanics should players look out for?

This 5×4 slot revolves around a whole host of otherworldly features and mechanics including Cash Collect, Orb Treasures and Lock N Spin.

During base gameplay spell book symbols land alongside cash symbols, automatically collecting all the cash prizes. Should there be no spell books present they will be added to a meter that will award prizes up to 2,500x once full.

The fun continues when three or more scatter symbols land, triggering the Lock N Spin bonus, here scatters transform into sticky cash symbols featuring random prizes. Three respins take place offering the opportunity to land even more Cash Symbols and chances of mysterious scroll multipliers.

Why do you think slots rooted in fantasy are so popular in 2024?

Fantasy themed slots have always proved popular as they provide engaging gameplay experiences, and broad appeal to diverse audiences. Who doesn’t want to escape to a fantastical realm allowing themselves to be surrounded by magic, mysteries and epic quests?

What’s more, fantasy themed games provide ample creative opportunities for slot designers to develop visually stunning story-driven games with intricate graphics, captivating animations, and beautiful soundtracks.

Lock N Spin features are all the rage with suppliers right now, would you say they’re the new Megaways?

Lock N Spin features have certainly gained popularity among both players, operators and suppliers over the last few years. Comparing this to Megaways is interesting, Lock N Spin features are undoubtedly gaining momentum in the same way Megaways titles did a few years ago.

We are definitely making a conscious effort to incorporate Lock N Spin features into our future titles whilst they’re at the height of their popularity. We firmly believe it adds a unique layer to traditional slot gameplay that many players find appealing.
