Could you walk me through the thought process of why you created a slot game in ChatGPT? After observing the skyrocketing popularity of various AI tools, I decided to take an online course on the creation of such a plug-in for ChatGPT. After the course, Aleksandra [Andrishak, Slotsjudge Editor-in-Chief] came up with an amazing idea; create an online slot in ChatGPT and see how it would work out. I thought, why not? Of course, we had a long sequence of attempts at writing a perfect prompt that would work at all times and also be random and interesting to the user. We wanted to launch something that would be one of a kind and, finally, after all the hard work, we launched Slotsjudge’s own ChatGPT plug-in with its own unique symbols and, well, we showed it to the world!
How is running a slot through ChatGPT different from running a slot through a traditional online gaming platform?
There are many differences, and the AI-based slot platform is certainly a concept that the iGaming industry still sees rarely. Running a slot through ChatGPT involves a lot of text-based interaction and simulation without graphics, designed for AI enthusiasts and slot experts seeking unique experiences. In contrast, traditional online gaming platforms offer real-time graphics and interactive features for a more immersive experience.
It costs 100 points to spin the ChatGPT slot. How does the point system work with the game? The point system we came up with is fairly easy to understand. When you type ‘Start,’ you receive an initial balance of 1,000 coins, and each spin costs 100 coins so your balance will be deducted by 100 coins every time you ‘spin the reel.’ Then, based on the combinations shown on the reels, you can win different numbers of coins. For instance, three garlics pay out 50 coins, three lemons pay out 100, three apples pay out 200, three cherries pay out 500, three crowns pay out 2,500 and three jackpots pay out 10,000 coins, which is the highest prize awarded by one combination in-game. Besides, even if you land three different fruits, you will still win an encouraging prize of 10 coins!
As you play, you can ask the chat for your current balance at any time to see how many coins you have left. In this way, you will be able to keep track of your winnings and expenses and manage your balance efficiently. For example, if you get three cherries, you win 500 coins and your balance is now 1,400 coins.
Beyond the curiosity of seeing a slot game in ChatGPT, why would a player try their luck with this slot as opposed to a more traditional slot?
I am sure users would want to try our AI slot because it is a new and intriguing concept. Players might try their luck with this slot for the unique experience it offers, which is in all regards different from a traditional gambling site. This is for fun and experience only, using a one-of-a-kind plug-in that provides a customisable narrative and interactive storytelling.
In what ways do you think the current version of ChatGPT can be integrated more widely into slot gaming?
I would say that ChatGPT can be further spread across slot gaming practices by providing personalised game narratives, dynamic storylines and AI-driven character interactions. In this sense, AI offers almost inexhaustible possibilities. It can enhance customer support with real-time assistance and onboarding, offer interactive tutorials and even create engaging promotional content.
ChatGPT is still developing and offering new versions. Where do you think AI and slot gaming could go next? The way I see it, the synergy of AI and slot gaming could evolve to offer personalised gaming experiences, with AI-driven narratives and adaptive game mechanics based on every player’s individual behaviour. Besides, future developments might include real-time emotional recognition to tailor gameplay, advanced predictive analytics for personalised rewards and immersive VR or AR integrations for a more interactive and engaging experience.
