More choice, better play? The role of player control in slots

In this article, Wazdan explores how customisation features such as Volatility Levels™ and Chance Level™ give players greater flexibility to tailor their slot gaming experience to their individual preferences.

Players may choose the same slot while looking for different experiences. A theme can attract their attention, but preferences around volatility and bonus features also shape how they engage with a game. Wazdan addresses these differences through customisation features that give players meaningful options within individual titles.

The challenge is to offer flexibility while keeping gameplay easy to understand. Each setting needs a clear purpose, allowing players to recognise what it changes and decide whether it suits their preferences.

Personalisation within the game

Wazdan’s Volatility Levels™ allows players to choose between low, standard and high volatility in supported titles. Lower volatility offers more frequent, smaller wins, while higher volatility brings less frequent but potentially larger wins. This lets players adjust the game’s win distribution while staying with its familiar theme and core mechanics.

For operators, this creates flexibility within a single title. Alongside its visual identity and bonus mechanics, a game can offer settings that accommodate different gameplay preferences.

Chance Level™ introduces another form of customisation. In Mighty Crown™: Empire of Gold, players can multiply their base bet by 2x, 5x or 10x to increase the probability of activating the Bonus Game by up to 13x, while symbol values remain unchanged.

The distinction between these features matters. Volatility Levels™ adjusts win distribution, while Chance Level™ increases bonus-trigger probability at a higher stake. Clear communication helps players understand both the purpose and the cost of their selection.

Making choice meaningful

These features illustrate Wazdan’s approach to player control: giving players options that address specific aspects of the experience. Choosing a setting does not provide control over individual outcomes, which remain random, and a higher bonus-trigger probability does not guarantee a bonus or profit.

From a design perspective, customisation should remain approachable. Players should be able to enjoy a game with its default settings and explore additional options when they wish, supported by concise explanations and clearly displayed costs.

For operators evaluating content, Wazdan’s approach adds another consideration beyond themes, reel layouts and maximum wins: how a title accommodates different preferences within the same experience.

More choice can contribute to better play when each option is purposeful and understandable. Through Volatility Levels™ and Chance Level™, Wazdan demonstrates how player preferences can inform slot design while keeping the core gameplay accessible.
