Gamomat Games
Gamomat’s slots may appear less polished than games from studios celebrated for elaborate visuals. Casino Ideal describes the developer as prioritising prize features and cross-platform play, while graphics, animation and sound take a back seat to the spectacle associated with NetEnt, Microgaming or Betsoft.
The studio says its priorities are gameplay, dependable mechanics and compatibility with mobile devices. Many releases have a deliberately simple, almost retro look. Casino Ideal links this accessible style to the games’ popularity in several countries.
According to Casino Ideal, slots remain Gamomat’s core focus. The review did not expect a significant selection of table games, Live Casino or video slots from the studio in the near future.
Slot Games
Gamomat’s slots for online casinos fit into 3 broad groups. Early releases were mostly straightforward classic machines. The other groups are the Golden Nights and Red Hot Fire Pot series, each described as a two-game series.
- Classic-style slots
- Golden Nights games
- Red Hot Fire titles
One pattern across all three groups is Gamomat’s practice of pairing related games, which Casino Ideal calls ‘twinning its games’. Book of Bulls started as a classic slot; a later release, Book of Bulls Red Hot Firepot, reimagines the same title within the series.
Many newer releases belong to Red Hot Fire Pot. Each has a distinctive side-bet feature offering a chance to win one of 6 jackpots at different values. Of the 15 titles, Casino Ideal highlights Fruit Mania RHFP, King of the Jungle RHFP, Explodiac RHFP and Ramses Book RHFP as popular examples.
Features found in several newer Gamomat games include sticky wilds, cascading symbols, multiplier wilds, free spins and expanding wilds.
Progressive Jackpot Slots
Alongside its three style groups, Gamomat’s website sorts its slots into 5 more categories: ‘Landbased’, ‘Online’, ‘Mobile’, ‘Social’ and ‘Jackpot’. Casino Ideal was familiar with the first 4, but had not played a Gamomat progressive jackpot slot.
Casino Ideal noted that Gamomat’s jackpot page was labelled ‘in development’. This suggested possible future progressive jackpot slots, but did not confirm a release. Whether they would form a linked network or be standalone games remained unknown, pending an update from Gamomat’s PR team.
Advantages
- Gameplay described as fast and smooth
- Thoughtful game mechanics
- Recognised in markets across Europe
- Reported to be available at 20 online casinos
Disadvantages
- Focuses on online slots
- No progressive jackpot slots had been released at the time
Conclusion
Gamomat has become a more prominent developer than its initial profile might suggest. Casino Ideal points to a collection of 250 slot games, developed after the company moved into real-money online gaming only a few years earlier, as evidence of its productivity. Its titles are also reported at over 20 online casinos.
Players looking for the visual effects of NetEnt slots may find Gamomat’s presentation restrained. The studio instead focuses on games built to run across mobile devices, with engaging play and distinctive mechanics at their core.
The pared-down look will not appeal to everyone. Still, Casino Ideal sees Gamomat’s growing profile in recent years as a sign that its style has found an audience.
