Could you share the YouTube video you were talking about?
Maybe this might explain a lot better.
I’m not really a fan of physical slots so I have no idea about the game you mentioned. I mostly play online slots, especially the ones from Pragmatic, and I usually stick to their popular games that give me better chances in my experience. I haven’t come across this type of game before, but now that you brought it up with criticism, I’m curious. I want to see why you have that kind of judgment about the game.
The point is, so many games that gets issued by the casinos are already featured games on the same casino, but the game providers don't see anything wrong with it. The diversity of games is one of their strongest marketing strategy-- in a way that if you're not enticed by A, you'll definitely want to try out B or so many other options. Take for instance "the crash game industry"... I know someone who would play the aviator all night, but run from Jet skies. I've heard about pragmatic play slots, but I haven't tried them myself. Anyway, it could still have the same format like the OP has confirmed already.
