Realistic Games Pablo Rubio: Keeping products fresh in online slots

Can you give us a background into Realistic Games? When were you founded and what has the journey been like so far?
Realistic Games was founded in 2002, meaning that we have been a part of the online casino market from almost the beginning. Over the last 20 years, you can imagine that our company has gone through all the different phases of the journey. But what’s always been in our DNA is the ambition to make different, innovative and entertaining games.
One of Realistic Games’ founders reiterates that he founded a company where he could make the games that in other companies they wouldn’t dare to do. So, from its foundation until the date, creating new player experiences through our games is what thrills us.
How can slot providers ensure games remain fresh and attractive to players, without rehashing old content and things done before?

You have to be able to understand the players’ needs and create games that are aligned with general trends to reach those players. However, we believe in change and innovation. Even if you are using a successful feature or game mechanic, you should be able to create a differentiation factor. Otherwise, you will be lost with the many others who are doing and copying the same thing.

That is probably the question that everybody is trying to solve, right? And, bad news, there is not a straight answer. What we can see today is probably a tipping point where all the options are on the table. There are games being extremely successful using old formulas, and on the other side, there are also successful games based on completely different ways of approaching slot games.

I think two major factors are playing here. First, it is the comfort factor. We all have that comfort movie that we re-watch or that comfort food that we eat whenever we want to ensure a pleasant experience. With slot games, something similar can happen. You might want to try new games but you also want that comfort factor that makes you understand the game on the very first spin, providing you with that familiar experience you are looking for.

What new releases and updates are on the horizon for Realistic Games in 2023?
We have quite an ambitious roadmap for this year. I think some of our players will be pleasantly surprised by the new games coming from us. We are increasing the quantity and also the quality of the games planned to be released in 2023.
We recently released a very engaging chili-themed game in January called Chilli Master, and we just released a completely renovated keno game, Keno Deluxe. We are extremely excited about our next slot to be released in May called Catch 22, which provides a completely different experience on fishing-themed games, ensuring more fish prices and offering a frustration-free feature experience.

We are also working to enhance the betting experience for our players, enabling them to customise the way they want to play. Can’t give any more details but a lot is going on in our headquarters working towards creating daring and innovative content. All I can say is stay tuned!
