Q&A: Head of Studio, Ihor Lozinskiy speaks to Cacaniqueis Online
Push Gaming's Head of Studio, Ihor Lozinskiy, recently sat down with Cacaniqueis Online to discuss our latest hit release, Wild Swarm Triple Hive. Ihor takes us behind the scenes, breaking down each exciting element of Triple Hive and why Brazillian players love three pots games. We also get a sneak peak at the rest of the year from Push, and specifically which games Brazillian players should be getting hyped for next!
For Brazilian players discovering Push Gaming for the first time, how would you describe what sets your slots apart, and where does Wild Swarm Triple Hive fit into that identity?
Push Gaming is known for delivering highly engaging gameplay, innovative features, and huge win potential. Wild Swarm Triple Hive continues that legacy. Our focus is on creating games that are not just visually striking but packed with mechanics that keep players excited and coming back for more.
The 3 Pots mechanic is a standout feature of Wild Swarm Triple Hive. What do you think makes it so engaging?
The 3 Pots mechanic is something we pioneered in 3 Magic Pots, and we’ve expanded on it with Wild Swarm Triple Hive. 3 Magic Pots showed us the potential of this format, and the response, especially from Brazilian players, has been fantastic.
In Wild Swarm Triple Hive, we’ve kept the spirit of the original Wild Swarm series, with the iconic sticky wilds, but added the depth of the 3 Pots system. These “Hives” can trigger multiple features from a single spin, which adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability that players genuinely seem to love.
Ensuring games are a right fit for Brazilian players is super important. Were there specific adjustments or considerations made in Wild Swarm Triple Hive or your wider portfolio of games to better resonate with Brazilian players?
Absolutely. We’ve learned that Brazilian players are drawn to games with variety, layered mechanics, and dynamic pacing. Wild Swarm Triple Hive reflects that, with its multiple features, a prize-filled wheel, and persistent Super High Symbols on the reels, the game creates an experience that’s both familiar and fresh. It keeps the chase alive and adds extra depth that resonates well with this market.
Wild Swarm Triple Hive mixes familiar elements with fresh twists, from bee collection to a wheel feature. How important is it to combine these kinds of features in creating games that appeal to both seasoned players and newcomers?
It’s crucial. In any 3 Pots game, each feature needs to be carefully thought through, especially since they can combine in powerful ways. For example, a Multiplier feature on its own might feel more volatile, but when combined with Sticky Wilds, the volatility balances out and becomes more rewarding.
We design with intention, aiming to create a game experience that’s not just exciting, but intuitive. We want players, whether new or experienced, to immediately understand the potential and enjoy the ride from the first spin.
How does Wild Swarm Triple Hive support your wider ambitions in Brazil, is this game part of a broader strategy to introduce more complex mechanics or bigger win potential into the market?
Our goal is always to create games that truly connect with players, and Wild Swarm Triple Hive is a great example of that. While player preferences vary across regions, the type of experience we strive to deliver, engaging, rewarding, and visually vibrant, has universal appeal.
This game represents our broader ambition to bring innovative mechanics and deeper gameplay into markets like Brazil, where players appreciate both excitement and sophistication in their slots.
What games are coming next from Push Gaming in Brazil?
Triple Rampage is coming later this month, players who loved Wild Swarm Triple Hive are going to really enjoy this one. We have high hopes for our whole catalogue and can’t wait to see which games our players will enjoy the most, but specifically Bamboo Ways and Happy Bamboo are set to be hits with Brazilian players. We’ve also just locked in a slate of Halloween and Christmas themed titles for the end of the year, and we’re specifically excited for Brazilian players to experience Santa’s Vault!
