You wouldn’t believe the elaborate game worlds of these online casinos
Most contemporary games, whatever the platform they are designed for, dedicate a great deal of importance to game worlds. In fact, the exploration of said game world is often times the entire end-all of a game.
For example, developers like Giant Sparrow first made a name for themselves through The Unfinished Swan which won two BAFTA awards in 2013. The Unfinished Swan, a first-person adventure game, is about a boy called Monroe navigating through a massive white space. Giant Sparrow’s latest creation, What Remains of Edith Finch, proved to be another great hit with gamers and follows along the same lines of exploring a game world, rather than completing any sort of ‘mission’.
Even the Japanese RPG classic Kingdom Hearts is famous and beloved for its extensive game world development. Only recently, the announcement of a Toy Story world addition to the KH3 universe caused an uproar among fans. Given that KH is largely based on travelling to various Disney and Pixar related game worlds with Sora, the main character, and his two companions – Donald Duck and Goofy – it’s no wonder that any major news on a new world stirs up quite a bit of excitement.
What is more of a wonder, however, is how the online casino world has developed along the same lines. Online casinos have somehow picked up on the excitement and fun that come with having a detailed game world, and decided to try it out for themselves. There are a lot of online casinos out there, and not all of them have a game world. We’ve handpicked some of the more impressive ones that stick out in our minds for having the most comprehensive online casino game worlds out there:
Ikibu
Ikibu is clearly inspired by the famous monkey forests of Japan. As this review of Ikibu Casino states, ‘Think Planet of the Apes, but with the nightmarish quality taken out of it. Ikibu Casino is an island home to many adorable little blue monkeys called “Ikkis”. The overall casino definitely has a Japanese theme going on, and you can easily imagine yourself getting lost in the wilderness of this Japanese jungle.’
But the game world of this casino goes beyond even the complex theme. It also has special features like Ikibu races and a ‘seeds’ system that operate like missions and goals would in a game. Gamers would find the similarities between playing a platform game and playing at this online casino striking, to say the least.
Casino Heroes
Casino Heroes is an online casino, but also an island called ‘Hero Island’. You can see the island depicted on the homepage of the casino. The island is ruled by the good and kind King, and it once used to be a place of peace and happiness. Unfortunately, according to the narrative provided by the casino, it has been recently invaded by evil Bosses. By joining the casino, you automatically become a Hero and become part of the quest in defeating the final boss Betser which casinos.co goes into details explaining.
This casino is characterized by different ‘levels’, that take you to different parts of the island to defeat different Bosses. Each level brings with it not only better prizes, but also tougher Bosses. Gamers have probably come across this before.
Sloty
Sloty Casino is brand new to the scene, and is an example of how game worlds in the online casino industry are continuing to develop. Sloty’s world is themed around the idea of being ‘sky high’ in the clouds, where the angels live. Sloty is a massive city which rests on these clouds, and which is predictably themed around casino games.
This casino website describes it as being ‘all about reaching for the stars. You’ll find yourself floating with the clouds in seventh heaven once you sign up with this casino. Their motto is: don’t keep your feet on the ground because it’s way more fun to fly.’ The casino seems to have taken this idea literally, and translated it into the airy world that gamers can now see.
