Interviews
Peter & Sons- Maths and Mechanics
Behind every stellar online slot is an equally stellar maths model. These are becoming more experimental as the industry flirts with an increasing array of innovative new mechanics. We spoke to Pablo Martinez, Math/Design Lead and Founder at maverick game studio Peter & Sons to find out more.
Do you have to be a maths genius to build a slot machine?
Nah, you donât need to be a maths genius. Itâs more about having the right mix of skills and loving what you do. You need to play a lot of games, see whatâs working out there, and understand what makes them fun. Knowing maths helps, sure, but itâs more about creating something players want to keep coming back to.
Peter & Sons is known for making games that dare to be different, visually and thematically. Is the underlying math equally experimental?
Definitely! We love pushing boundaries, both in how our games look and how they play. Sure, itâs a bit of a gamble to have a bunch of games with unique mechanics, but weâre all about trying new things. Games like Peter Hunter and our upcoming Muddy Waters are great examples â they bring fresh gameplay and new experiences to the table. Each year, we try to put out at least one or two experimental titles, keeping things interesting while mixing them with more familiar styles.
Do you come up with the maths model first and then build the game around that? Take us through the process of building the game from start to finish.
We usually start with an idea for the mechanics first. We make a quick prototype to see if the concept can work with the maths. Then we bring in the art team to brainstorm themes that will fit well. Once we have a basic prototype, we go through a bunch of tweaks and changes until the art, mechanics, and maths all feel right together. Itâs a back-and-forth process where weâre constantly finetuning everything to get the best balance.
Why do you think a mechanic like Megaways was so successful?
Megaways took off because itâs a fun, exciting mechanic that gave players something fresh, but smart brand marketing really helped it catch on.
Is there pressure as a slots developer to come up with the ânextâ Megaways?
Not really. Coming up with new mechanics is always fun, but itâs not the only way to make a hit. Plenty of top games are just clever twists on classic mechanics. Itâs more about creating a great experience that keeps players coming back, whether itâs something brand new or just a fresh spin on something more familiar.
Which slots are more popular, high or low volatility, and why do you think that is?
It depends on the market, but in some unregulated markets â and especially with some operators â high-volatility slots are really popular. A big reason for this is streamers. High-volatility games make for exciting content, so they get a lot of attention and hype online. That thrill factor really draws players in.
Which is your favorite Peter & Sons mechanic and why?
Right now, Iâd say the fishing mechanic in our upcoming game Muddy Waters. Itâs a new twist on the fishing genre that really brings something fresh to the gameplay. Itâs exciting to take a familiar theme and make it feel totally different.
Tell us about the mechanics in your latest release, Barbarossa Revenge.
Barbarossa Revenge is a pirate-themed, high-volatility game with 243 ways to win. Itâs a DoubleMax game, meaning the multiplier doubles with each cascade. Youâve also got Multiplier Jumps and a Cashout feature that guarantees wins. During Free Spins, the multipliers donât reset and can keep growing unlimited. With a max win potential of 30,000x the bet, this game is a real thrill!
