Gaming Corps is back again with a new game in its Bonus Pot series, where a 3 Pot game has inspired this new edition, 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot. We have previously seen Aztec Bonus Pot and Egypt Bonus Pot, where this Bonus Pot has been the main attraction of the bonus game in these previous games since you, as a player, have the opportunity to collect it during a final exciting free spin. We had the honor of speaking with Connor Blinman, Head of Games & Jon Harwood, Mathematician at Gaming Corps, to find out what the 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot has to offer.
3 Pigs of Olympus introduces a unique twist on the mythological universe. What inspired the idea of combining classic gods with pig characters, and how do you feel this adds to the overall experience for players?
Connor Blinman, Head of Games: We wanted to take two well-loved casino themes and merge them into something completely fresh and exciting. Originally, the idea stemmed from a "3 Pot" game with Piggy Banks, but as we brainstormed with our Head of Art and Animation, we decided to push the concept even further. By pairing the three piggy banks with something unexpected—three legendary brothers, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon—we landed on an idea that was both unconventional and instantly memorable. At first, it seemed like a wild combination, but once we saw the concept artwork, we knew we had something players would love.
How do the different Pig Gods (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon) influence the Free Spins feature, and how does this mechanic enhance both the thrill and win potential for players?
Jon Harwood, Mathematician: Each Pig God brings a distinct bonus to the Free Spins feature. Zeus applies multipliers to Instant Prize values, significantly boosting the Bonus Pot’s payout potential. Hades synchronizes reels, creating Colossal Coin symbols for extra volatility and bigger wins. Poseidon takes a more straightforward approach, doubling the number of Free Spins. Players can mix and match these Gods in different ways to tailor their gameplay, increasing both the excitement and winning possibilities.
The Instant Prize symbols are a core part of this game. Could you dive deeper into how these symbols work and what players can expect in terms of prize opportunities?
Jon: Instant Prize symbols are designed to keep players engaged and enhance both short-term rewards and long-term strategy. In the base game, they provide immediate wins, but when combined with the Collector feature, things get even more exciting. Landing two Collectors in a single spin can unlock much larger payouts, keeping anticipation levels high. Stacked high-paying symbols and the progressive nature of the 3 Pigs’ mechanics ensure the base game remains action-packed from start to finish.
What role does the Bonus Pot play in 3 Pigs of Olympus, and how does the final Bonus Spin offer players the ultimate payout potential?
Jon: The Bonus Pot collects all Instant Prizes accumulated during Free Spins, leading to a dramatic final spin. With Multipliers, Colossal Coins, and Extra Free Spins at play, the Bonus Pot can reach incredible values. The final Bonus Spin is where it all comes together—players can land up to two Collect symbols, potentially doubling the entire Bonus Pot payout. This feature keeps the excitement going right until the last moment, offering a game-ending climax that players will want to experience again and again.
What’s next for Gaming Corps after the launch of 3 Pigs of Olympus? Are there any exciting projects or innovations in the pipeline that you can talk about?
Connor: The response to 3 Pigs of Olympus has been incredible, and we’re already looking at expanding on this universe. The "3 Pot" mechanic is something we see great potential in, and we’re developing additional games that build upon this foundation. We’re also working on other high-energy concepts that deliver big win potential and unique themes, ensuring Gaming Corps continues to push the boundaries of innovation in slot design.
We would like to thank Connor Blinman and Jon Harwood for participating in this interview and wish them good luck with this release!
