Wazdan’s Oliwia Owczarz discusses Mighty Crown™: Empire of Gold in iGamingExpert interview

Wazdan’s Oliwia Owczarz has taken part in an iGaming Expert interview for its Beyond the Reels format, discussing the development of Mighty Crown™: Empire of Gold and the team’s approach to modernising classic slot formats.

The conversation focuses on the vision behind the game, which combines a traditional three-reel layout with contemporary visuals and more layered gameplay. Owczarz explains how a familiar format has been enhanced with elements designed to build curiosity, anticipation and a sense of progression.

One of the interview’s central topics is the Empire Bonus, a multi-stage feature at the heart of the game. Rather than relying on a traditional free spins round, the Wazdan team created a distinct bonus experience in which each stage gradually leads players towards the potential for significant rewards.

The discussion also explores the role of features that allow players to tailor the experience to their individual preferences, including Volatility Levels™, Chance Level™ and the Buy Feature. Owczarz also reflects on how to strike the right balance between accessible mechanics and sufficient gameplay depth at a time when feature fatigue caused by increasingly complex slots is becoming a growing topic of discussion.

The interview highlights how Wazdan evolves classic concepts to create engaging experiences suited to different player profiles.
