OLBG speaks to Games Global’s Daniel Cass about the Lara Croft: Fortune of the Eclipse slot from Triple Edge Studios, including new mechanics and future Lara Croft releases.
在这场独家问答式访谈中，我与全球游戏公司的业务发展经理丹尼尔·卡斯进行了交流。丹尼尔在iGaming行业拥有逾十年的工作经验，积累了丰富的专业知识和热情。自2021年起，他开始涉足老虎机领域，并于2024年5月加入全球游戏公司后，以充沛的精力和创造力助力其品牌内容取得成功。
In this exclusive Q&A-style interview, I sat down with Daniel Cass, Business Development Manager at Games Global. With over a decade of experience in the iGaming industry, Daniel brings a wealth of expertise and passion. Since 2021, he has embraced the slots side of things, and after joining Games Global in May 2024, he has helped drive the success of its branded content with energy and creativity.
本次访谈的重点是《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》老虎机游戏的发布，该游戏在大多数英国老虎机网站均可体验。访谈涵盖了游戏概览、与以往劳拉·克劳馥系列作品的差异、滚动卷轴、多重追逐滚动倍数、开发品牌老虎机时面临的挑战以及未来劳拉·克劳馥老虎机的发展方向。
The focus of the interview is the release of the Lara Croft: Fortune of the Eclipse slot game, which is available at most UK slot sites: it covers an overview of the game, how it differs from previous Lara Croft releases, Rolling Reels, MultiChase Rolling Multipliers, the challenges when developing a branded slot and future Lara Croft slots.
问：感谢您抽出时间与我们讨论《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》的发布！您能否先为我们的读者介绍一下这款游戏，并谈谈玩家首次体验时可以期待什么？
Q: Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about the release of Lara Croft: Fortune of the Eclipse! Can you start off by giving our readers an overview of this game, and what they can expect ahead of playing it for the very first time?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》让劳拉·克劳馥带着她标志性的弓箭，投身于一场全新的阿兹特克主题冒险，带来进化的游戏体验。游戏背景设定在一座被遗忘的天界城市，劳拉·克劳馥的世界首次引入了我们的多重追逐引擎，同时结合了任意位置支付机制和滚动卷轴，以增加获胜的可能性。
DC: “Lara Croft: Fortune of the Eclipse takes the iconic Lara Croft, armed with her signature bow and arrow, and places her in a new Aztec-themed adventure for an evolved gameplay experience. Set against a forgotten celestial city backdrop, the world of Lara Croft is introduced to our MultiChase engine for the first time, as well as a Pay Anywhere mechanic together with Rolling Reels to increase win possibilities.
此外，这款老虎机游戏中的倍数机制，包括上升奖励免费旋转倍数，让每一次旋转都充满丰富功能和吸引力。”
In addition the multipliers available in this slot game, including Rising Rewards Free Spins Multiplier, makes for a quest that’s both feature-rich and engaging with every spin.”
问：这是三重刃工作室推出的第三款劳拉·克劳馥游戏，前两款分别是《劳拉·克劳馥：神庙与陵墓》和《劳拉·克劳馥：太阳之墓》。您能告诉我们这款新作与前作有何不同吗？
Q: This is the third Lara Croft game Triple Edge Studios has released, with Lara Croft: Temple and Tombs and Lara Croft: Tomb of the Sun coming before this one. Can you tell us how this new title differs from those?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“每一款劳拉·克劳馥作品都探索了全新的场景，并拥有独特的游戏引擎。在继承前作如《劳拉·克劳馥：神庙与陵墓》的滚动卷轴体验基础上，《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》扩展为6x5的格式，并引入了任意位置支付机制。
DC: “Each Lara Croft instalment explores a fresh setting and boasts a distinct game engine. Building on the Rolling Reels experience of its predecessors, such as Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs, Fortune of the Eclipse moves to an expanded 6x5 format with a Pay Anywhere mechanic.
多重追逐滚动倍数和新的上升奖励免费旋转倍数的加入，也为系列带来了焕然一新的游戏体验。这些元素与电影级的视觉效果和动画相结合，既保持了系列标志性的探索感，又为玩家提供了全新的享受。”
The MultiChase Rolling Multipliers and the new Rising Rewards Free Spins Multiplier being rooted into the franchise also provides a refreshed game experience. These elements, in combination with cinematic visuals and animations, keeps the series’ signature sense of exploration whilst offering something brand-new for players to enjoy.”
问：在《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》中，每次获胜都会触发滚动卷轴。您能为我们详细介绍一下这个机制及其工作原理吗？
Q: Rolling Reels trigger on every win in Fortune of The Eclipse. Can you talk us through the mechanic and how it works?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“滚动卷轴在每次获胜旋转时都会激活，有可能引发一连串的连锁胜利反应。当八个或更多匹配符号出现在卷轴的任何位置时，就会颁发奖励。但这只是滚动卷轴行动的开始，因为那些获胜的符号会爆炸，照亮卷轴，为新的符号滚落并重新填充腾出空间，从而有可能连续颁发多次胜利，直到没有获胜组合为止。
DC: “Rolling Reels come alive on every winning spin, offering the potential to unleash a chain reaction of cascading wins. When eight or more matching symbols land anywhere on the reels, a prize is awarded. But that’s just the beginning of the Rolling Reels action as those winning symbols explode, lighting up the reels and making way for new symbols to tumble down and refill to potentially award multiple consecutive wins until no winning combinations are present.
任意位置支付机制很好地融入了这个系列，意味着游戏不受传统支付线或方式的限制。玩家的注意力将集中在有多少符号匹配上，而不是它们具体落在哪里。”
The Pay Anywhere mechanic merges into this franchise well and means the game is not limited to traditional paylines or ways. Player focus will be centred on how many symbols hit, rather than where exactly they land.”
问：这款游戏还具有多重追逐滚动倍数。这些是如何融入游戏玩法的，以及可能出现的最大倍数是多少？
Q: This game also features MultiChase Rolling Multipliers. How are these incorporated into gameplay and what is the maximum multiplier that may come into play?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“劳拉·克劳馥本人在游戏过程中也会对倍数产生影响。每当她射出炽热的箭矢时，一个倍数符号就会落在卷轴上。如果它在获胜旋转时落下，倍数符号会一直留在卷轴上，直到所有滚动卷轴结束，然后倍数会被颁发。倍数符号还有可能被提升至最高100倍，以形成最大的获胜组合。
DC: “Lara Croft herself has an impact on multipliers during game play. With every blazing arrow she shoots, a multiplier symbol lands on the reels. If it lands during a winning spin, the multiplier symbol stays on the reels until all Rolling Reels conclude and the multiplier is awarded. There is also the potential for the multiplier symbol to be boosted by up to 100x for maximum winning combinations.
此外，出现三个劳拉·克劳馥符号可以增加上升奖励免费旋转倍数，在10次免费旋转功能期间，有可能被颁发高达20倍的倍数。”
Moreover, landing three Lara Croft symbols can increase the Rising Rewards Free Spins Multiplier, with the possibility of being awarded up to 20x during the 10 free spins feature.”
问：在开发这样一个高知名度IP的品牌老虎机时，您必须克服哪些挑战和障碍，特别是与创建自己的专有内容相比？
Q: What sort of challenges and hurdles must you overcome when developing a branded slot with such a high-profile IP, particularly in comparison to creating your own proprietary content?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“对于像劳拉·克劳馥这样广为人知的角色来说，一致性至关重要。地点、文物、叙事和整体基调都需要与角色保持真实感。我们的目标是提供一种体验，既尊重并致敬劳拉·克劳馥在过去29年中所塑造的世界，又确保游戏玩法简单易懂、易于上手。
DC: “With someone as recognisable as Lara Croft, alignment is everything. The locations, artefacts, narrative and overall tone need to feel authentic to the character. Our aim was to deliver an experience that respects and celebrates the world Lara Croft has inhabited for the last 29 years, whilst also ensuring the gameplay is easy to follow.
在实际操作中，这意味着要提供清晰的游戏说明，并整合最适合主题和系列的功能和机制，而不会使游戏过于复杂。”
In practice that means providing clear instructions on how the game works, and integrating features and mechanics that best fit the theme and series without over-complicating things.”
问：劳拉·克劳馥无疑是文化偶像。多年来，玩家对这些游戏表现出了多大的兴趣，未来我们还能从三重刃工作室看到多少款劳拉·克劳馥游戏？
Q: Lara Croft is undoubtedly a cultural icon. How much appetite have players shown for these games over the years, and how many more Lara Croft games might we see from Triple Edge in the future?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“我们与古墓丽影的长期合作非常愉快，也非常喜欢以劳拉·克劳馥为主角进行创作。对于每一部作品，我们都秉持同样对品质和清晰度的执着追求。玩家知道，当他们看到一款劳拉·克劳馥老虎机游戏时，定能体验到三重刃工作室为其所有在线老虎机内容所倾注的同样水准的精雕细琢与精准把控。
DC: “We have enjoyed our longstanding collaboration with Tomb Raider and love featuring Lara Croft. We approach each instalment with the same focus on quality and clarity. Players know that when they see a Lara Croft slot game, they are going to get the same level of polish and precision that Triple Edge puts into all their online slot content.
我们的游戏设计师是该系列的忠实粉丝，喜欢将劳拉·克劳馥的冒险一次又一次地呈现出来。每一款游戏都是为她想象全新体验的机会，我们已经对接下来会发生什么充满期待。”
Our game designers are passionate fans of the series and love bringing Lara Croft’s adventures to life, quest after quest. Every game is an opportunity to imagine fresh experiences for her, and we’re already excited about what comes next.”
问：如果让您用一句话来描述玩家为什么应该尝试《劳拉·克劳馥：日食之运》，您会怎么说？
Q: If you had to describe exactly why players should try Lara Croft: Fortune of the Eclipse in one single sentence, what would you say?
丹尼尔·卡斯：“这款发布作品氛围浓厚且引人入胜，标志着世界上最具标志性的角色凯旋归来！”
DC: “This release is richly atmospheric and engaging, signalling the triumphant return of one of the world’s most iconic characters!”
