300 Shields Mighty Ways exclusive interview with Light & Wonder

The Slot Gods sat down with Light & Wonder to discuss 300 Shields Mighty Ways

Every couple of months, there are a handful of online slots that are highly anticipated by slot enthusiasts across the world. September is one of the biggest months in iGaming with slot developers trying to release the next big slot.

One of these slots is no other than the highly anticipated sequel 300 Shields Mighty Ways. Not only is this the third instalment in the series, but the slot incorporates the impressive Mighty Ways mechanic that debuted in Cluedo Mighty Ways.

Thankfully, the team at Slot Gods managed to sit down with Mats Andersson, the Creative Director at Light & Wonder, to gain an insight into the upcoming slot and what players can expect from it. If you are one of the thousands of avid slot enthusiasts eagerly awaiting this slot release, then be sure to stick around to see what Andersson has to say.

300 Shields Mighty Ways looks to be a stand-out title for Light & Wonder in 2022, can you summarise the game for our audience and tell them what they can expect in the game?

Mats Andersson: 300 Shields Mighty Ways is a highly anticipated sequel to classic slots 300 Shields and 300 Shields Extreme, with the former having been on the market since for almost a decade.

We’ve made a conscious effort to keep all of the fundamental features and mechanics from the original games that players loved, we’ve then enhanced it with the Mighty Ways engine, which allows us to offer players a different experience with consecutive wins that adds more value.

What do you like the most about 300 Shields Mighty Ways?

Mats Andersson: Without a doubt, it’s the volatility. I’m personally a big fan of high volatility games and 300 Shields Mighty Ways offers players high-octane, high volatility gameplay.

I was a big fan of the original game; however, the downside was that I often found it hard to reach that 300x multiplier. But with 300 Shields Mighty Ways players start off with a 300x multiplier that grows rapidly as the game goes on. You no longer have to chase that big winning potential as it’s already there waiting for you.

Mighty Ways was first introduced in Cluedo Mighty Ways, what was the creative force behind the Mighty Ways mechanic and how does it stand out against other mechanics?

Mats Andersson: The main thing that makes the Mighty Ways mechanic so special is that it significantly increases the number of ways to win as players land consecutive wins themselves.

The potential gets greater and greater on subsequent cascades, unlike other slots in the same family that often have a completely random number of win ways. You get more bang for your buck!

What is the future of Mighty Ways? Are there any classic titles, such as Rainbow Riches, that could have the Mighty Ways treatment?

Mats Andersson: In short, yes! To start off with we’ve been adding the Mighty Ways mechanic to known games from our portfolio that are liked and loved by players, and that’s not going to change any time soon.

Random Question - If you could be any online slot character, who would you be and why?

Mats Andersson: If I had to be any online slot character, I’d pick Merlin! The reason for this is that he’s appeared in so many games developed by so many different studios…If I’m Merlin I get to be everywhere and experience so many different game mechanics and bonus features!
