About Piggy Tap Online Instant Win Game by Onlyplay

Currently, Onlyplay online casino software provider boasts over 40 games already in its portfolio. However, just making those old online slots is no longer really an option and one of the best things about Onlyplay is this constant search for new exciting mechanics.

Innovative Piggy Tap is a representation of this approach and is expected to impact the whole gaming market. This instant-win game is enjoyable and potentially well-paying at the same time, offering free spins, bonuses, and a jackpot.

The key thing about Piggy Tap is in fact tapping; the jackpot win, for example, directly correlates with how actively a player taps. Bonus games and other features do not interrupt this experience, and tapping does not interrupt the bonus features.

Piggy Tap is a thrilling new addition to Onlyplay’s portfolio and it will soon be available in numerous online casino lobbies for real money tapping. Meanwhile, you can read more about the game in our revealing interview with Christina Muratkina.

Q&A With Christina Muratkina, CEO at Onlyplay

Hello and thank you for participating in our Q&A! It’s been a while since our previous interview in 2021. What key goals or milestones have been reached by Onlyplay since then?

Hello and thank you for having me back! It's wonderful to reconnect with you. Since our last interview in 2021, Onlyplay has achieved some significant milestones.

One of the most remarkable developments has been the growth of our team, which has more than doubled in size. This expansion has brought a wealth of fresh talent and creativity into our organization.

Additionally, our game portfolio has expanded. We've added many new games, each brimming with excitement for our players.

One of the most exciting advancements we've made is the creation of our Happy Hours Tournament Tool, a network tournament system that adds a new layer of engagement and entertainment to our games and brings interest to the casinos.

These milestones are not just reflections of our progress but also indicators of the vibrant and dynamic direction in which Onlyplay is heading. We are thrilled to continue pushing boundaries and creating exceptional gaming experiences for our players.

How many games exactly does Onlyplay have in its portfolio today?

Onlyplay currently holds a portfolio of over 40 games. These games span various genres and mechanics, offering diverse and engaging experiences to our players. We're committed to continual expansion, ensuring our players always have something exciting to look forward to.

What changes has the industry seen since 2021? Can you specify any particular trends?

Good question! While I haven't witnessed any seismic shifts since 2021, several trends have been solidifying. For instance, there's a growing amount of game providers who are crafting unconventional games. These developers are emphasizing how “heavy” the game is, optimizing gameplay, and advancing technologically.

Crash games, in my opinion, are transitioning into a classic category. Players are increasingly seeking fresh solutions and experiences, which suggests a growing demand for innovative gaming concepts.

In essence, while the core of the industry remains constant, the creative and technological frontiers are expanding, offering exciting prospects for both developers and players.

Let’s discuss the new game by Onlyplay called Piggy Tap. How does Piggy Tap compare to recent releases, such as Troyan Gems and Anubis Obelisk?

Piggy Tap is in a league of its own, and it wouldn't be fair to compare it to any standard slot game. While we do create slots and love to experiment in that space, a portion of our resources is dedicated to innovative mechanics. Piggy Tap is a testament to this commitment.

We've been working on this game since spring, investing substantial effort and time into its development. It has undergone numerous playtests and even received excellent feedback from our partners and industry colleagues during its prototype unveiling at SBC Barcelona. In its own right, it's unique.

Of course, after its official launch, we'll assess its success by comparing metrics with slots and crash games. However, I believe that it's not the most comprehensive way to appreciate its potential. Yet, in the initial stages, our partners will likely rely on such comparisons to evaluate the game.

Can you delve into the unique gameplay mechanics and features of Piggy Tap that set it apart, particularly in terms of video and audio elements?

As a game provider, we have always placed a significant emphasis on a game's visual presentation and animations, and Piggy Tap is no exception.

The team has invested substantial time in perfecting the game's art and user interface to ensure it strikes the right balance, making it clear to players what needs to be done to continue playing the game without overwhelming them. It's all about providing a seamless, intuitive experience.

We've brought Piggy Tap to life with vibrant animations to keep players engaged and entertained throughout their gaming experience. Moreover, our sound designer composed a unique track specifically for Piggy Tap, perfectly capturing the game's mood and enhancing the overall atmosphere.

Who is the primary target audience for Piggy Tap?

Piggy Tap is an ideal fit for both classic slot players and a younger, more dynamic audience. The team has retained some familiar game elements for traditional players, ensuring an intuitive experience right from the start. At the same time, its mobile format, social features, and dynamic gameplay will captivate a younger, more active audience accustomed to the fast-paced nature of platforms like TikTok.

Could you please comment on how Piggy Tap ensures both an instant win and an enjoyable gaming experience? Do players pay attention to other aspects of a game if they have instant wins?

Ensuring an instant win while maintaining an enjoyable gaming experience in Piggy Tap was a challenging task, to be very honest with you.

The jackpot win directly correlates with how actively a player taps. If we were to interrupt tapping with a bonus game or another feature, players might miss out on the grand jackpot win, which could lead to frustration.

That's why in Piggy Tap, players can earn bonuses without interrupting their tapping. For instance, the distribution of free spins happens concurrently with the main gameplay. A mini-slot machine appears, and when a player wins free spins, they automatically replace the following bets, allowing the player to continue tapping seamlessly.

The same principle applies to collections. When a player collects the final crystal, the win is automatically credited to their balance.

This design ensures that players can enjoy the thrill of tapping without any interruptions while still having the opportunity to earn bonuses.

What advantages do fast games offer in comparison to traditional, longer gameplay experiences? Could you highlight the key features and mechanics that make faster, instant-win games more engaging for players?

The trend towards faster, instant-win games can be attributed to the modern consumer's desire for quicker, more immediate content. I can make a wild guess and say that it began somewhere around Instagram and/or Tik Tok times but don’t take it for a fact. All I know is that people no longer wish to wait; they seek information that's concise, accessible, and engaging.

Even ChatGPT offers a more expedited and intelligent way of retrieving information. It's far more efficient than sifting through dozens of search engine results. This trend extends to game development.

Players now expect rapid dopamine hits and speedy results. In a traditional slot game, a player may complete about 10 spins in a minute. In Piggy Tap, this number skyrockets to 180, delivering that quick thrill and almost instant gratification that players crave.

Are there any insights or data supporting the growing popularity of fast games in the market, and what innovative strategies does Onlyplay intend to employ to remain competitive in this fast-paced gaming sector?

Certainly, the instant win game market is still in the early stages of its development. Many platforms are not yet technically prepared for fast games, as they require robust online infrastructure and rapid server-client response times within 100 ms. Achieving such speed is a challenge for most, especially when considering that many integrations are carried out through aggregators, introducing additional waiting times.

However, the industry is evolving rapidly, and we are witnessing a growing trend. More and more of our industry peers are venturing into the realm of instant win games, which is fantastic because it fosters the growth of this sector. We're already receiving requests from operators for new game mechanics, indicating a demand from players. So, it's clear that player interest is on the rise.

I believe that in the near future, we will witness a significant leap in the world of instant win games as the market continues to mature and meet the needs of both operators and players.

Do fast games make online gambling more potentially addictive? Are there any responsible gambling features or tools integrated into Onlyplay's fast-win games to promote player safety?

Absolutely, fast games have the potential to be more enticing and can lead to quicker wins or losses. Their dynamic nature can indeed captivate players, sometimes causing them to overlook the number of bets they place. We received feedback about this at SBC Barcelona and have taken it to heart.

As a part of our responsible gaming efforts, we've incorporated a betting limit feature into our fast-win games. This tool allows players to set a limit on the number of bets they are willing to place in the game. When they reach this limit, the game will notify them.

By empowering players with such limits, we aim to foster a safer gaming environment and promote responsible gambling practices, mitigating the risk of addiction.

What are the company’s plans for the rest of 2023?

Our plans for the rest of 2023 are quite exciting. We're focusing on the continued development and growth of Piggy Tap, which has already gained significant attention. Furthermore, we're all set to release at least 10 more games with classic mechanics, ensuring our players have a diverse range of gaming experiences to enjoy.
