Studio Spotlight: Making waves with Oros Gaming™

Oros Gaming™ made a bold entrance into the Games Global fold in December 2022, bringing an electrifying range of slot games to players fingertips.

They may have started strong, but with an insatiable desire to create increasingly captivating experiences that players stick with and come back to, they’re on a mission to keep on upping their game.

We spoke to Oros Gaming CEO Ryan Cuddy to find out more.

Q. Tell us about the studio and your team?

A. Oros Gaming was established in 2021 and is based in Tahoe, Nevada. We are a team of game designers and developers that have been working together through multiple companies, some of us for more than two decades. Our team is made of up of all of the creative and technical resources needed to make games people love to play: game designers, mathematicians, artists, audio, engineering, quality assurance. Our strong bonds and inclusive culture, along with our systems and processes, are the core elements that enable us to stay in very tight sync – working together to consistently iterate and enhance our game elements. It’s our core belief that the value that we are able to deliver is tied intrinsically to our constant edits and iterations – a product of a strong, honest and creative culture.

Q. What makes your studio different to others?

A. We have an insatiable hunger to improve our games and that’s why we are consistently outdoing ourselves, game after game. Our commitment to creating captivating gameplay experiences combined with our expertise from decades of success in land-based casinos throughout the U.S., has driven the creation of our cash on reels product line, Cash Spree™, with its third game going global in September. Alongside this, we will be introducing a hugely interactive brand of games this winter, building on the success of a standalone title launched last year. This series of of titles evolve throughout gameplay, adding in new and creative ways to win along the player journey.

Q. What are your standout titles and what made them successful?

A. Following on from our successful December 2022 release Quick Cash™ Cash Spree™, which featured instant cash prizes and respins, we set out to take the game’s best elements and build on them, elevating the overall experience. Released in June, Electric Charge™ Cash Spree™ added even more excitement with a free spins bonus that multiplies all the cash symbols and a free spins wheel for a more immersive and exciting gaming experience. The resulting game proved to be even more of a hit than its predecessor.

Q. What is your personal favourite title from your studio?

A. My personal favorite is coming in September, Joker Bonanza Cash Spree™. It completely levels up the mechanics of Electric Charge™ by adding a jackpot wheel and a free spins multiplier that builds during your base game play with a beautiful joker character who also features as a stacked wild. The theme is stunning, the sound is masterful, and the marriage of the graphics, audio, and enhanced mechanics is what I believe makes this game our best yet!

Q. What is your favourite part of the game development process?

That’s actually a hard one to answer because I love just about everything about making games. Tuning our product strategy is so energizing because you get to have targets to drive and it starts really sparking tons of ideas. Establishing the mechanics and theme direction is so rewarding, and you really get to feel the vision for the specific game start to take hold; that’s when I start to anticipate what the team is really going to come back with in terms of visuals, music, and picture how the interrelated mechanics are mathematically fitting together. When you get into production, you know that every challenge you face is an opportunity to make the game even better and when you overcome those challenges it’s a total rush. Then in the polish phase as we move to locking down design enhancements and final testing, the game is evolving so fast, and all of these enhancements take it from a solid game to magical flow. So, it really is hard to pick just one because of how each phase builds on itself to anticipate even greater things! ** Q. What trends do you see for the future of our industry?**

A. As an industry, it’s always going to be about serving players today at a higher level than yesterday. There is so much new tech coming, especially with AI, that will help do this by understanding players wants and needs on a deeper level, creating new ways to serve players that surpass yesterday - creating faster and iterating any product in the industry faster. The new tech wave is super exciting!

Q. What can we expect from your studio roadmap?

A. We are going to be serving operators and their players with amazing cash on reels games and games that evolve throughout the player journey with beautiful graphics, sound, and on-trend themes. You can expect that our roadmap will continue the upward trendline of delivering games that keep players entertained and engaged.
