AvatarUX introduces new feature set in Donkey & the GOATS™
Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX is debuting a unique set of features as it invites players to enter the ring and don the gloves in latest slot Donkey & the GOATS™.
Golden Ways combine several elements that work together to enhance every win, with popular ZapReel™ extending win lines and offering a unique Uppercut Expanding Wild, and the Vegas Reel offering a set of rewards – Synced Reels, Wild Bombs, Low Pay Removal and Global Multiplier.
These are unlocked either by a chain of cascading wins or by landing a special Don K symbol, which triggers one of the persistent rewards that will be paired together with additional free spins.
The horizontal Vegas Reel sits above the main game board and rewards a set number of spins before they are exhausted. The rewards are accumulative and can be unlocked all at once for some really action-packed spins.
Synced Reels sees two or more reels bound together to land matching symbols across the matrix, greatly enhancing or even guaranteeing a win line to be formed. Low Pay Removal can eliminate a random amount, or even all, of the low symbols, giving players better chances for a substantial win. Lastly, Wild Bombs place wild symbols in various locations on the reels, potentially changing any non-winning situation into a win.
Donkey & the GOATS™ also offers plenty of additional options to further enhance the player experience, such as the Ante Bet that increases chances to enter the Free Spins in base game, two types of Feature Up, which improves the chance to trigger either the ZapReel™ or the Vegas Reel, and numerous levels of Bonus Buy.
The title is the latest addition to AvatarUX’s burgeoning games portfolio and sees the studio introduce new levels of entertainment, complementing its popular PopWins™ mechanic.
The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “With Donkey & the GOATS™ we introduce something different to players with the unique feature set offering unparalleled wins and thrill.
“With the success of our PopWins™ mechanic, we are now excited to rollout a new type of game, jam-packed with features and win potential, that showcases the innovation and diversity that AvatarUX can offer.”
