Is there still original ideas for innovation in Slot games?

[bekti3]

Slot is pretty straightforward so I don't see any possible change or innovation in slots, just variations and difference in prices, I think it's even impossible to think of a way to innovate slots that's going to benefit both the slot owner and the player.

This is the most likely because it will be very difficult to implement innovations like this and the most innovations that are carried out are as you say and only make better graphics to make the players feel at home there.
there won't be anything new that will be implemented in slots because that's how they work even though it's a very old thing to do

Might not be a popular opinion but I enjoy classic slot. Slot game is something that have been here since the beginning and innovations are ofcourse amazing but for me I prefer the normal one.

Plus slot machines are super classy and something that I played on as a kid as well in small fairs and parks, so for me it makes the whole experience more rewarding..

People are really high about the video slot games now a days which I do think are definately adequate and interesting, provides user with more hands on experience.

What I do think can be done is to :
Make it more realistic.
Make it more classy, rustic.
Give players the feeling that they are playing it in real life in an offline casino, for me that would be great.

I think that recreate the atmosphere of a real casino on an online playground is difficult enough although on the other hand when I dive into the game I do not even think where I am as a sense of excitement can eclipse all other feelings especially if no one distracts during the game.

In my opinion, an interesting solution would be to create and draw NFT, which would increase bonuses at a particular gambling site depending on the rarity and not only in the slots.

Not sure if there is still new innovation that can draw the interest of players.

Perhaps there is one, but still it boils down as how it is going to attract slot players because playing them is just basic, you just have to understand how it works and what is the draw line and what characters will be the bonus for a particular game. So it's hard to reinvent the wheel for slot machines because we have seen them all.

Most players are seeking simplicity and games without too many complications and I guess that's the edge of the slot. Players are contented with it because of the basics of the game. They could make a simple innovation that could make it more exciting but changing the whole game could only make it too complex.

I think most innovations are not that easy to implement since people usually prefer maintaining the status quo than challenging it, not only with games that are well known

I've seen some online places trying to innovate with slots but nothing really different

the first thing that comes to my mind is changing the number to possible slots or changing combinations and possibilities
of course the house edge will stay

Slot machines are a very old invention. 

In my opinion, one should not expect any revolutionary innovations in relation to it.  Everything was invented a long time ago.  It is not profitable for slot machine manufacturers to experiment.  This requires additional investment. 

At the same time, the potential profit is minimal, and the risks are large. 

The next step in the development of slot machines is associated with virtual reality. 

The symbiosis of virtual reality and slot machines means new games, new ideas, new rules of game interaction.

To this I will add that developers are limited on what they can do as slots are a simple game and as such any new innovation they could bring to the game if it is too complex it runs the risk of alienating their customer base and being unsuccessful.

After all for when it comes to complex games like poker players will find any innovation on the rules as a new opportunity to play a new variation of poker no matter how complex it could be, because that is the kind of mentality that is needed to be to be successful at it, but many of those that play slots do so just to relax themselves, so adding too much complexity and innovation to the game could be counterproductive.

From the start they created a game that was simple and not too complicated to look at and play. and this is what makes them in love.
I personally like this game because of that because it's the simplest thing I've ever played.
apart from losing and winning it is a risk but fun is what keeps me here. Their visuals and their ease of play make me unable to stop playing slots

The game is having  the most simple concept which i could  really not deny that those things you do said were true which is actually on point.They might differ in design
and sound effects but the overall concept or game was just the same and its true that the simplicity of the game which do make it love by most people.
Changes? This would really be a hard question an something that should be answered because not all ideas would really be need to be applied first.

Agree i think only themes could be change in slots like the colours the images but the rules and how simple the game to be played should be retained since thats the most people addicted. Makin it complex makes everyone not to play on it since it was new unless they want to try and if so they get addicted to the new and improved slot game

With simplicity, slots can attract the new players to test their luck and even, the casino will know how to invite more players to come by giving more bonuses to them.
The themes on the slots games can change so the looks can give another approach to the player and make them feel comfortable.
Besides that, the slot player does not want complexity for playing the gambling games and only wants to spend their time playing some rounds.

Honestly speaking, I never cared about the innovative slots and that's what most people do they just roll and loves the UI/UX which js what that is going to bring us the results and if its our lucky day then we might have win streak with actual profits. But slot games are never ending because they are coming up with different graphics in the online world and the best innovation in the future can be virtual experience.

[Kakmakr]

The reason why I started this discussion is for us to find ways to "innovate" the Slot development in the industry. Let's agree on something, it is very boring to just push a single button to "bet" or even just to put it on "auto" and just sit there and watch the screen.

A lot can be done to make the Slots interactive and more stimulating for people to want to play it. The introduction of Virtual reality in the casino industry has opened doors for more innovation and we will see a lot more exciting things in 2022. (I hope we will be immersed into these virtual worlds and we will be able to interact more within the games) 

It is mind-numbing to sit in front of a screen and to press a single mouse button or key on a keyboard to watch reels go past.. hoping for a win. 

[mu_enrico]

To be fair, even if it's rehashed, some have slightly new feature. For example:
- Book of Fallen, yeah it's "book type" but here you can pick the feature symbol (previously random).
- Avatar UX (Yggdrasil) POP games have unique mechanics.
- Gold Megaways, you can trade a big-win (from normal spin) for a chance of bonus games.

But yeah, the basic is same, spinning reels.

It is mind-numbing to sit in front of a screen and to press a single mouse button or key on a keyboard to watch reels go past.. hoping for a win. 

Try super spin on Book of Fallen, it's pretty interactive :p

That is precisely my point. Given that I believe the game is nearly perfect, I believe anyone who attempts to improve or change it is wasting his or her time and energy. I agree that it is to test your luck, as this game is primarily based on luck, and if we are lucky then we will  win. We are only playing this type of game to amuse ourselves, so I do not believe that it is necessary to change anything at all.

Indeed. Slot games were really designed the way there are, to be just the way they are. Not necessarily indicating that slot games are static when in comes to innovation and improvements, but more on the essence and functionality of the game design. Since it is based on luck, I also think that changing it won’t really make much of that an impact and might alter its simplicity and purpose.

Is there still any real original ideas for Slots? Can someone still develop something new and innovative and how can we (gamblers) give our inputs in the development of what we want in Slots?

we will only know if someone actually makes it. to those who are saying that it is impossible. a lot of things were deemed impossible in the past. with the current progress of technology, who knows, maybe someone would get an idea that would change how we play, look at slot games.

At first, This is my thoughts when I read the OP thread then I realize that what OP's trying to convey is why tons of slots being created while they are just same type. I stop playing slots long time since they are continuously decreasing RTP on every new slot they are creating. They are improving UI/UX but the RTP is decreasing. I'm not a solid fan of slot that's why I don't appreciate much the UI/UX while playing since we are gambling to win and at the same time to have fun. But its so hard to have fun while losing so I believe introducing more exciting part on slots that will give players more chance to win is a cool idea besides wild cards type.

Perhaps the thing about old games is that most people want them to actually look like them the way they are. However you are right, there is a new generation of gamers that is used to more sophistication in entertainment and media and that use mobile devices all the time and those could be the cornerstones to build a more interesting slots game. You can either go "retro" and try to mimic the original machinery feeling of the old slots or embrace digital and create plenty of 3D and metauniverses facebook style.

I'm sure there are many new ideas from slot developers but I believe the reason why they keep on using the same type with different theme is about the interest from users/gamblers.
If a specific type lets say "Megaways", has so many players then developers will use the situation to create more similar slot but with different themes only.

Can someone give us an example of a Slot that introduced something new and innovative in the game dynamics and engine lately? Please mention the game and what was new and innovative. 

I was someone who love to try new slot games in the past but I did not do it again since few months ago.
For now, I prefer to play my favorite slot only instead of trying new slots so I have no idea if there is a new innovative slot game released lately.

I closely follow the development of neural interface technology. 

Currently, neurointerfaces are used mainly in medicine. 

However, this is not their only possible application.  This is a revolutionary technology that can change the way slot machines work.  No need to press buttons.  All control in the game will be done by one power of thought.  And it's incredibly impressive! 

Neurointerfaces will make the game of slot machines more interesting and exciting.
