WCC franchise wins three consecutive awards

World Cricket Championship 3 (WCC 3) won the ‘Studio Game of Year’ award at the Indian Game Developers Conference (IGDC) today. This is a consecutive award for the World Cricket Championship (WCC) franchise in this category, WCC Rivals having bagged the runner-up spot last year.

Earlier this year WCC won the AatmaNirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge conducted by the Government of India and more recently, the third edition of the game bagged the ‘Google Play Best of 2020 award’ in the ‘Users’ Choice’ category, only after a few weeks of its launch.

WCC from Next Wave Multimedia Pvt Ltd. is the leading and longest running mobile cricket gaming franchise from India and now having won three consecutive prestigious accolades recently, P.R. Rajendran, co-founder and CEO, says “It is absolutely thrilling to win another title. The team has put a lot of hard work and innovation behind the game and this award comes as a hattrick for us at WCC. This is a validation of all our effort. We look forward to continuing to provide value to our fans and the industry at large.”

The WCC franchise has crossed 143+ million downloads globally. This ‘Made in India’ game franchise filled the cricket void this pandemic by giving fans a near-actual and immersive cricket experience, resulting in more than 22 million downloads between February and August, 2020. Alongside this, the game also recently witnessed more than 100% growth in-app purchases between February and November 2020.

The latest edition of WCC comes with a host of new features, including a comprehensive career mode set across 3 brackets, 25 series, and 400+ matches with a built-in challenging performance decision system which determines your rise in ranks starting from a local club to the national or international level, alongside the much awaited women’s cricket mode which is a tribute to the changing face of women’s cricket across the globe. To add a dash of extra realism, the game has been infused with simulation of actual cricket, updated gameplay features like brand new controls, fabulous animations, real-time motions of athletes and professional cricketers, bilingual commentary by professional cricketers, Aakash Chopra and Matthew Hayden and much more.

Apart from the aforementioned accolades, the franchise also has multiple others to its name including Google Editor’s Choice (2016-2020). WCC2 has also been listed as Google’s Best of Games in 2015, 2016 & 2017 and Apple’s Best of Games 2016, 2017 & 2018.

Furthermore, the cricket game has also been featured among the Top 10 Games for Monthly Active Users by the App Annie Report for 3 years in a row (2016-2018) and was also listed under Top 10 games by time spent in Android & IOS by App Annie 2016 report.

TaDa Gaming, has added to its renowned TriLuck series with a classic Chinese themed slot game, 3 Lucky Baozhu. Offering multiple ways to win, 1000x max and 97% RTP, this gorgeously colourful game sparkles and crackles with fortune and good luck.

The five reels, three rows, 50 fixed paylines grid holds traditional symbols including Caishen god of wealth, lucky red envelopes, lanterns and musical instruments. Above the grid, the “3 pots” are the blue, green and purple baozhu – or firecrackers – consistently growing in size and ready to explode anytime.

A Mandarin text reading fu or “fortune” is the wild. Appearing only on reels two, three, four and five in the main game, it will substitute for all symbols except the firecracker feature symbols. Wins are formed by three of a kind. However, the generous Caishen will award a prize with just two matches on any payline he appears on.

The three firecracker symbols on the grid are also the scatters to trigger the bonus games. With each firecracker holding its own bonus, when three form a winning combination, one, two or even three bonus games can come into play simultaneously depending on the mix of firecracker colours.

Each bonus game begins with free spins. Purple and blue triggering firecrackers give three free spins, while green gives four. The purple firecracker or Double Up bonus puts two sets of reels into play. The blue or Ultra Spins bonus will boost coin symbol values, while green Extra adds an additional free spin, raising the count to four.

When players enter any bonus game, six kinds of Gold Coin symbols and blank positions only will appear. Each coin that lands will reset the free spin counter to three or four depending which firecracker triggered the bonus round.

The Gold Coins vary between plain gold to Mini, Minor, Major, Grand and Baozhu Grand jackpots. Jackpot values are dynamically based on the triggering wager and the deliberately wide range means 3 Lucky Baozhu will appeal to both casual players and high rollers.

Following on from earlier TriLuck releases 3 Coin Treasures, 3 Lucky Piggy and 3 Coin Wild Horse, the underlying “3 Pots” gives a Hold & Win style experience, while each slot’s unique theme and gameplay adds a new twist to the experience.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “The triple pots mechanic has global appeal for players. From LatAm to North America and across Europe, we have seen players’ positive reaction to the potential for all three features to trigger simultaneously. 3 Lucky Baozhu delivers this engaging gameplay in a sparkling fireworks’ themed slot to great effect.”
