Blending legendary gods with playful chaos, Gaming Corps’ latest slot 3 Pigs of Olympus reimagines Greek mythology with a porcine twist. Head of Games Connor Blinman and Mathematician Jon Harwood reveal the creative journey behind the game, its innovative mechanics, and what’s next for the ambitious studio.
3 Pigs of Olympus blends mythology with a fun, zany twist. How did the team approach the game’s design and visuals to create an engaging experience that’s both immersive and entertaining?
Connor: We wanted to ensure the 3 Pigs had distinct personalities that reflected their mythological counterparts. By leaning into the iconic traits of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, we crafted a visual identity that makes each Pig God stand out. The animations play a key role in this—cheeky expressions, dynamic movements, and reactive elements all help bring the characters to life. This isn’t just another mythological slot; it’s a high-energy, character-driven adventure that players can truly connect with.
Given the success of previous titles like Aztec Bonus Pot and Egypt Bonus Pot, how does 3 Pigs of Olympus compare?
Jon: Our previous Bonus Pot games introduced key mechanics that resonated with players, and 3 Pigs of Olympus builds on those foundations. Aztec Bonus Pot introduced multipliers, while Egypt Bonus Pot added Colossal Coins and Double Collect Reels. With 3 Pigs of Olympus, we’ve taken all these innovative features and created three unique bonus games—Multipliers, Colossal Coins, and Extra Free Spins—giving players even more ways to win. The dynamic nature of these features makes this the most engaging title in the series.
How does 3 Pigs of Olympus align with current trends in the iGaming industry, and where do you see the industry heading in terms of slot game development over the next few years?
Jon: Progressive mechanics are gaining momentum, and players are looking for games that offer layered experiences beyond just a simple spin. We’re seeing a shift toward games with multiple bonus features that can be triggered in different ways. 3 Pigs of Olympus taps into this trend perfectly, as players are engaging for longer and triggering multiple bonus features per session. Additionally, there’s a growing appetite for games that provide increasing payout potential, and with its max win of 10,000x the initial stake, this game delivers exactly that. Over the next few years, expect to see more innovation in progression-based mechanics, a trend that we’re already developing new titles around.
With iGaming evolving rapidly, how does Gaming Corps stay ahead of emerging trends, particularly when it comes to new game mechanics and technologies?
Connor: We rely on both player feedback and industry data to ensure we’re delivering games that hit the mark. 3 Pigs of Olympus is a great example—it was born from analysing what mechanics were trending and listening to what casinos wanted.
Jon: We stay agile, keeping our development cycles efficient so we can adapt quickly to market shifts. By blending strong mathematical models with engaging themes and dynamic features, we ensure every new release has both the depth and entertainment value today’s players expect.
Can you give us a sneak peek into upcoming titles or features Gaming Corps is currently working on?
Connor: We have some exciting projects on the horizon. We’re expanding our Smash4Cash series with a fresh fishing-themed title, and we’re also working on a new slot called Hyena Heist, which takes our A-MAZE-CADES mechanic to the next level. In Q2, we’ll be launching a next-gen Plinko game with our new Plinkball title. There’s plenty more in store for the second half of the year too—watch this space!
