Wazdan explores progression behind Throne of Elements™: Platinum in CasinoWow interview

Wazdan has offered a closer look at the thinking behind its upcoming Throne of Elements™: Platinum release in a new interview with CasinoWow.

Speaking to the publication, Norbert Grono, Account Manager at Wazdan, discusses how the title builds on one of the supplier’s most established mechanics, Hold the Jackpot™, while introducing a stronger sense of progression throughout the experience.

Rather than focusing solely on the bonus itself, the new release has been designed to make the journey towards Hold the Jackpot™ an important part of the gameplay. Guardian symbols, an expanding game area and sticky value symbols work together to create a structure that develops from one spin to the next.

The interview also looks at how Wazdan approaches the evolution of familiar mechanics across its portfolio. With Throne of Elements™: Platinum, the focus was not on changing Hold the Jackpot™ for the sake of it, but on giving the mechanic a different rhythm and creating a clearer sense of development before and during the feature.

Grono also touches on the title’s jackpot structure, which culminates in a 2,500x Grand Jackpot, as well as the role the expanding game area plays in building anticipation as the round progresses.

The release reflects Wazdan’s wider approach to refining proven features for individual titles, ensuring that established mechanics continue to feel distinctive across different game concepts.

By combining the Guardian mechanic with an expanding 25-reel area and sticky value symbols, Throne of Elements™: Platinum introduces its own identity within Wazdan’s Hold the Jackpot™ portfolio while retaining the core elements that have made the mechanic a long-standing part of the company’s games.
