Interview with Mirela Agatonovic from EGT Interactive
EGT Interactive brings experience from the company’s land-based casino games to online video slots. It aims to preserve the familiar appearance and full functionality of popular titles while adapting them for an innovative cross-platform format designed for play on the go.
Over the past seven years, EGT Interactive has expanded its game catalogue, player base, licensed-market reach and operator network. The company has grown quickly into an independent provider with a distinct profile and a preferred place among its partners.
EGT Interactive supplies 400+ operators around the world across more than 20 jurisdictions. Its catalogue includes over 200+ classic online games spanning several themes. Alongside slots, players can find roulette, poker and keno. The provider points to its established engine, appealing RTP, polished video-slot execution and Mystery Jackpot feature as elements that support player engagement and help attract new users.
The ‘Burning Hot’ collection is one of EGT Interactive’s signature series. The company has recently added another ‘Burning’ casino title to its catalogue.
Burning Keno is a jackpot Keno game featuring 4 mystery jackpot tiers. Its play format is straightforward: players choose 10 numbers from 1 to 80, then watch 20 numbers appear on a 5x4 grid styled like an online slot. A mystery jackpot may activate during a round and start a bonus game featuring clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades, with the possibility of substantial wins.
To learn more about the new Burning Keno game, we spoke with the team behind its development. Mirela Agatonovic, Product Manager at EGT Interactive, answered our questions about the game.
Q1: Mirela, thanks for taking the time to speak with us. How are you?
Thanks very much for inviting me.
Q2: How would you explain the idea behind "Burning Keno"?
With "Burning Keno," we wanted to improve the user experience and build features around players’ needs. The withdraw every 30 second gives the game a real-time feel. Players can choose one to ten numbers, and payouts are made immediately according to the number of selections they play.
The game also includes live sorting, an instant re-bet option and a quick view of hot and cold numbers. Another feature applies when a player chooses more than 7 numbers: a payout may be possible even if none match. In other words, a player can win when there is no win by matching numbers.
Q3: How does Burning Keno stand apart from other Online Keno games?
We have added features focused on the user to the traditional Keno format, with the aim of keeping players engaged throughout the game.
Q4: EGT’s new strategy includes building some online games from the ground up. Was Burning Keno developed that way too?
Yes, the same approach was used here. 'Burning Keno' was built in-house, from the initial concept through to final delivery.
Q5: Players can choose from several betting options, and numbers are marked Hot or Cold. How do you decide which numbers are "Hot"?
We define "Hot" numbers as - The Most 5 Drawn Numbers for last 1000 draws.
Q6: Burning Keno can pay a win when no selected numbers match. That sounds appealing to players. Could you explain how this works?
Yes. If a player chooses more than seven numbers (7,8,9 0r 10), they could still receive a payout when none of those numbers match. That means a win may be possible even with no matches in the draw.
Q7: Is there anything more you’d like to share about Burning Keno?
I hope 'Burning Keno 'will be enjoyable for players and encourage greater engagement and retention.
