Demoslot Q&A with Craig Asling, Director of Games, Booming Games

26.08.2025

Today we’re delighted to be joined by Craig Asling, the Director of Games at Booming Games, to talk about their 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win 20,000 slot. Strap in, as the questions are going to be coming thick and fast.

Q1. To kick things off, can you tell us about your role at Booming Games, and for readers less familiar, how you would describe Booming Games’ approach to game development?

What makes your studio stand out in today’s competitive landscape? As Director of Games at Booming Games, I oversee the creative journey from concept to launch, working closely with Game Producers, Artists, Mathematicians and our Developers, making sure each title delivers both excitement and quality. Our approach blends bold, original themes with innovative features, all backed by solid game math.

What sets us apart is our agility. We’re quick to embrace fresh ideas, unafraid to push creative boundaries and always focused on crafting slots that stand out visually, while keeping players engaged.

Q2. 64 Gold Coins Hold and Win 20,000 builds on the ever-popular Hold and Win mechanic, but your version introduces Coin Blitz, Boosters and an expanding 8×8 grid. What makes your take on this format different?

This is a pretty simple one. With 64 Gold Coins Hold and Win 20,000, we wanted to take a familiar and much-loved title that features popular mechanics and supercharge it! It’s a standout title with a higher win potential of up to 20,000x that gives players a truly exciting target. The format is also pleasingly similar, but with both meticulous and dynamic changes!

Q3. The Flaming Respins feature adds an extra dynamic during base play. Can you walk us through how it works and how players can benefit?

The Flaming Respins feature is designed to give the base game a real spark of excitement. When triggered, it locks any symbol that forms a win in place and grants players respins to try and land even more matching symbols. Each new matching symbol that lands awards another respin, increasing line wins and extending the feature and building anticipation. On top of that, Win Multipliers can land to boost wins even further!

Q4. The theme combines classic fruit and coin imagery with modernised gameplay. How do you strike the balance between nostalgic design and fresh innovation?

It is indeed a classic theme, but we have injected a fresh and modern touch into it so it can still stand out in the crowd among the thousands of other similarly themed games. That, coupled with its expanded reel set and dynamic features, means it distances itself from competition.

Q5. With 64 Gold Coins Hold and Win 20,000 set to launch on August 28th, what are your expectations in terms of player engagement?

As with its predecessor, we expect the new release to be a hit. Players from the original will be intrigued at the developments, and new slot enthusiasts can now experience the feature-packed title and its colossal win potential. The game’s captivating nature is sure to keep players coming back for more.

Q6. Thanks a lot for your time. Before we wrap up, are there any new releases coming in the near future that you are particularly excited about that you could share with our readers?

We have some amazing new titles being released in the next couple of months. Our first from the iconic Shields of Gold series is Shields of Gold: Valkyrie Hold and Win. The brand new title set in the world of Norse Mythology leads with an exciting new Wild Transform feature which can award instant cash prizes or even a Hold and Win bonus.

Following that, we have Greedy For Gold Power Hit, the next release in our Power Hit Series that sees its fun Irish theme complemented by our Power Hit Cash Collect feature, Free Spins and progressive prize pots. Finally, we have Mr Oinkster’s Hold and Win, a highly engaging piggy bank-themed release with exciting Piggy Bank and Vault Collect features, which can trigger Free Spins with Jumbo symbols or the titular Hold and Win bonus. We are really looking forward to seeing how players connect with these brand new offerings!
