Case
Slot machines used to be a piece of furniture. Huge, uninviting wooden boxes with a single game inside. A game that, once out of trend, forced the owner to throw the entire thing away and buy a brand new one. It was time for a generational shift.
Challenge
Changing the paradigm of slot machines would require a complete makeover. We had to leave the rustic taste of slot machines behind and replace it with a fresh, contemporary feeling.
Solution
We used curvy colored plastics to shape an elegant, modern slot machine. Inside it, a touch screen and a computer replaced the old mechanical reels. Our multimedia design department created a variety of games that could run on the platform. Thanks to this, it's no longer necessary for owners to replace the whole machine; they just have to acquire new games. This is how we turned our slot cabinet into something bigger: the Boomerang is a game platform, not a piece of furniture.
