Going Nuts in the Wild West: An Exclusive Interview About Bust a Nut with PoggiPlay

1. Let’s talk about your latest release – Bust a Nut! This vibrant and quirky slot brings players into the Wild West and nutty adventures. How did the idea for such a humorous theme appear?

We took the Gold Rush theme, but added a humorous twist. What if it wasn’t just about gold, but about something completely nuts?

That’s how the concept of a crazy squirrel was born — cracking nuts left and right in a world filled with high stakes and smashable boosters. If I’m being completely honest with you, I believe the market is entering the stage where every meme, every catchphrase, and every “wtf” idea can and should be brought to life.

We’ve already got thousands of Egypt, Gods, Aztec, Buffalo, you name it, slots in the industry. Even here at PoggiPlay we’ve created some of those, and I think we will keep making renditions of the classics. However, for the sake of variety, we stand among the providers emerging with game themes more diverse and appealing to the new generation of younger players.

And of course, there are just times when you suddenly realize something is just not there yet, and you have the idea to make it happen. Just like they told us in our LinkedIn profile – “Bust a Nut” is not a phrase you expect to see on your LinkedIn scroll, or, quite honestly, in a casino lobby as well.

Yet here we are. Making an interview about this. What a life!

2. Rails, pickaxe and golden acorns. Why will the theme of westerns always be relevant in games?

We romanticize westerns in the same way we love adventures in general. All of us desire adventure. Even the last time we talked with Slotsjudge, it was about adventures in our “Deadly Diamond”, the Indiana-Jones-like fast game.

The spirit of freedom and chase for fortune, that’s something we have in common with goldseekers as people working in iGaming. The entire thematic aura of the Wild West goldfields ignites that thirst for the new and unknown within us.

3. This slot offers a “Multiplier Collection” bonus feature, which adds a layer of excitement to the gameplay. Why did your team choose this mechanic over classic bonus games?

The idea for this particular bonus game came from our market analysis and an understanding of what players enjoy the most. Gamers have responded very positively to similar mechanics, describing them as entertaining and dynamic in some of the industry releases we’re watching very closely.

Secondly, we love experiments, and we’re always eager to take a great idea further and deepen the mechanics.

4. Humor and fun seem to be at the heart of Bust a Nut. Was the player’s lighthearted entertainment planned in a game design approach?

Absolutely! Where’s the fun in limiting yourself inside the industry that’s already kind of limited from the outside? PoggiPlay is serious when it comes to business and mildly reckless when it comes to entertaining our players, I think it’s fair enough.

We aim to create a game where players, on their way to big wins, can immerse themselves in the story, enjoy the journey and the laughs. Our games are all about emotions. We carefully tune them for every session to deliver a truly satisfying experience.

5. With Bust a Nut now live, would you dare challenge the protagonist to a mountain of golden acorns?

The number of players is growing incredibly, and someone has already claimed the max win! Of course, I tried to join this nut race as well. It’s one of my favourite PoggiPlay games, and I recommend it to everyone.
