“We set out to create a new mechanic for Quickspin so we wanted a new character to shoulder this. Since the game maths focus on locking symbols in long chains of ways, we came up with the idea of a protagonist using a big harpoon with a gold chain to trap the monster symbols on the reels, which worked out beautifully well with the game mechanic.”
