Endorphina Deliver the Industry’s First-Ever AI-Designed Video Slot
By Shane Addinall Apr 27, 2023 TechnologyEndorphina pushes the boundaries of online slot development with the industry’s first-ever AI-designed release, Joker Ra. We look at how AI resolved the prompt to combine the modern era with Ancient Egypt and what to expect from this groundbreaking title.Endorphina is already well-known by the online casino community for its distinctive online and mobile-optimised video slots. They have also never shied away from showcasing new technology or trying their hand at incorporating the latest themes in their releases. This was proven to be true by the runaway success of their first crypto casino game, Satoshi's Secret.
Speaking of their exciting new Joker Ra slot, Endorphina said:
Quote"Joker Ra, our most groundbreaking game yet, is about to set a new standard in iGaming history! We have significantly levelled up our visual identity and graphics with the help of artificial intelligence. We're thrilled to announce that we're the first to use AI to create substantial and quality design aspects of a slot game."
With their latest video slot release, Joker Ra, the innovative casino software developer, has taken the bold step to enter the fascinating world of artificial intelligence.
Bold New Visual Style
As we mentioned previously, Endorphina games have a particular appeal with their characters’ designs walking a fine line between realism and hand-painted. This made the decision to allow an AI to design the symbols for their latest Egyptian-themed slot machine a leap of faith. The company was gambling on the community approving of an aesthetic that was not the look and feel they were expecting from Endorphina.
Playing off the concept of a collision between the modern world and ancient Egypt, the symbols are a complex blend of classic Egyptian elements with a futuristic metallic finish. The most visually engaging symbol is the Joker Ra Wild which sees the normally stoic depiction of Pharaoh morphed into an unsettling effigy of a laughing Joker.
The game’s Scatter is another intriguing symbol with its circular depiction of a Snake swallowing its own tail, which is used to frame a sunset view of a pyramid. It is also worth up to 100 times your bet!
The highest-paying base game symbol is the gold and ebony Anubis offset by glowing purple hieroglyphics, which is worth 30 times your stake. The balance of the symbols includes a golden All Seeing Eye, a gold and turquoise Scarab, a stylised Ankh, an armoured Cat, a metallic Ibis, a molten Crocodile, and a bronzed Scorpion.
While the company has not gone into a lot of detail about which AI art application was used in the development of the Joker Ra slot, the eye-catching appeal of the individual symbols is indisputable, even if the titular character toes the line between the serene and the insane.
Spinning the Reels of Joker Ra
While the visual direction of the online slot was outlined by AI, the gameplay is classic Endorphina. This means that fans of their more than 100 casino games will find more of what they know and love on the reels of Joker Ra!
Here is a rundown of its features:
- Reels: 5x4
- Paylines: 100
- RTP %: 96.07%
- Bet Size: €1 - €80
- Features: Expanding Wilds & Gamble Game
Claiming your share of the Joker Ra’s treasures is fairly simple. Select a bet setting of up to €80 per game and hit the spin button. With each new game, you have a 96% chance of landing the maximum reward.
To simplify the process, the developer has implemented an Autoplay feature where you can trigger up to 1000 consecutive spins and set a series of stopgaps like Play Time, Single Win, Balance Decrease and Balance Increase.
The Gamble Game allows you to go head-to-head with the RNG gods as you test your luck. You will be presented with one card face up. You then get to pick one of four face-down cards in search of a higher value. Guessing correctly doubles your bet, a feat which can only be accomplished ten consecutive times.
