There’s a lot of talk about AI developing at the speed of light and soon taking everyone’s jobs. It doesn’t sound very believable, but still, this resource is now used everywhere, and the game development industry is no exception. Its pace of evolution has been very noticeable in recent years. To understand this issue, we sat down and talked with our art director, Ksenia — here’s her opinion on it:

How do you see AI impacting game design right now?

Right now, I see AI as an incredibly powerful tool for design and illustration. It’s truly a game-changer — it speeds up workflows and lifts the overall quality across the board.

AI is evolving so fast, and I feel like the design standards in our industry are evolving just as quickly alongside it. It feels great to be part of this shift. Honestly, it’s pretty exciting to be working in design right now, while all of this is unfolding.

Can AI replace designers in game dev?

Today, I still see AI as exactly what I said — a tool. A new, powerful, and impressive tool. But still just a tool.

Because of it, though, the role of a designer or artist is definitely changing. We're spending less time on hands-on production and more time shaping ideas into visuals, structuring creative flows, and learning how to translate imagination through prompts.

Here’s the thing: AI-assisted work made by an experienced designer — someone with a trained eye, good taste, and real skills — looks completely different from something generated by someone who just has access to a computer. That’s where we are now.

Looking ahead, though, with how fast AI is advancing, it's very possible that in just a year we'll be creating things far more impressive than what we can do now — faster and easier. But the design profession itself won’t disappear — it’ll just evolve. Whether we’ll still need massive in-house design teams like we did 10 years ago... that’s another question.

So, to answer your question — replace designers? No. Change the role? Absolutely.

How do you think AI will change the igaming industry in the next 2–3 years?

In the next couple of years, AI is going to transform everything. The world won’t look the way it does today — and iGaming is no exception.

What exactly will change? That’s a question for futurists. But one thing’s for sure — it won’t be boring.

Does AI lower the barrier to entry?

Honestly, I wouldn’t say the barrier to entry has changed all that much.

Sure, we’re using AI at nearly every stage of our work now. But that hasn’t made us significantly "cooler" than our competitors — because they’re using it too.

What I’m getting at is this: trying to build a new iGaming company from scratch and relying solely on AI to break ahead? That’s just not realistic.

Our industry is built on human emotion, years of hands-on experience, and the hard lessons learned by real professionals. ChatGPT can simulate understanding, but it can’t actually live or feel any of it. The human experience is something it can only describe on the surface.

So, for any young iGaming studios hoping AI alone will fast-track them to the top... well, I’ve got some bad news.

If every studio uses the same tools, how does a brand stay unique?

That’s where deeper experience and professional judgment really come into play.

We use AI heavily in our team — but with one rule: the result can’t look artificial. It has to feel crafted, like a human made it. And honestly, that takes time. But it’s worth it.

There’s so much AI-generated content out there now that audiences are starting to tune it out. If something was made in one minute — why should anyone care?

That’s why we spend extra time refining details, redrawing, polishing. Our designs take longer because we want to deliver something that actually feels like quality entertainment for our players.

What excites you most about AI, and what new opportunities does it create for games?

What gets me most excited is the speed. The fact that I don't have to grind through complex technical processes anymore – I can just bring ideas to life in the moment. That speed lets designers save their mental energy for what actually matters: being creative.

Here's the thing – back in the day, so many concepts never even made it past a conversation. You'd think of something cool, but then reality would hit: actually building that would take weeks, maybe months. So most ideas just died on the spot.

Now? We can prototype entire worlds and concepts in minutes. And more importantly, we can figure out way faster which ideas are actually worth investing serious development time in, and which ones should probably stay on the drawing board.

In the end, AI is just a tool. It makes things faster and opens more creative possibilities, but real skill, taste, and experience still matter more than ever.

Our most powerful flagship launch! A game that stands at a new stage of evolution in the gambling industry.

It is based on the well-known Vortex mechanic, but in all other respects, this is a unique game with a non-template crashXslot mechanic. It also features volatility that is an order of magnitude higher than that of the previous version. This means the game carries more potential — the tension and risks have become far more significant, increasing engagement for audiences who love high‑risk gameplay.

One of the strongest advantages of Vortex 2 is the Max Win, which reaches a massive x999. Also, the mathematical model has been improved. The game features x2 symbols that immediately fill two sectors, providing more chances for a big win and accelerating the pace of the game.

Our new release, Vortex 2, is a game with a crash mechanic embedded with bonuses built on slot logic. Instead of the single bonus game of the first Vortex, the new one includes a bonus game for each of the 3 elements:

Water Bonus: A lightning-fast draw with guaranteed multipliers of x5, x7, x10.

Earth Bonus: A classic slot mini-game – 3 reels and one spin to get a winning combination, awarding from x15 to x50.

Fire Bonus: The game uses a 4×4 grid where you need to open cells and collect 4 matching symbols to get a multiplier of ×799, combined with your red zone multiplier for the maximum win.

And finally, a dark and light theme has been added to the game, allowing you to adjust the interface to suit your mood.

Come and play the demo – Vortex 2 is waiting for you!

Forget the background noise of the expo. The whole point was to let you get your hands on Vortex 2 before it even officially launches and takes over the top-tier lobbies.

When you stepped into the booth, we didn't want you to just "see" a stand — we wanted you to feel like you were already in the game. Every material and every line was there for a reason, zero fluff.

Did you catch the "Yin and Yang" story? Crossing light and dark themes was a bet that our people would just get it. And they did. It wasn’t just a design choice; it was the physical version of that core tension between risk and reward.

And that holographic wall... it was so "holographic" it basically lit up the entire hall. Some people seriously told us they only found the booth by following the glow. It added this futuristic edge that reacted to every move, but never stole the spotlight from the game itself.

The details tied it all together. You should’ve felt those pillows! Shaping them like Fire, Water, and Earth wasn't just for comfort — it was about making the game mechanics something you could literally grab. Honestly, even the holographic stickers were hard to look away from.

Of course, visuals were only the start.

The Turbo Games crew was there the whole time, ditching the scripts to actually walk partners through the engine and answer real questions about how it all works under the hood.

Huge thanks to Alpaca Expo Group for taking our "obsessive" design and making it a reality that actually worked on the chaotic ICE floor.

What comes to mind when you think of a safari? Roaring lions, sneaky snakes, endless golden sunsets, and wild adventures in untamed lands.

Now, imagine all of that meeting your favorite game. That’s Safari Vortex — a journey through the wild, packed with surprises, discoveries, and unforgettable moments.

Same Vortex gameplay you love, but with a sun-soaked safari twist that makes every spin feel like a trip across the savannah. Watch the reels wander through acacia trees, dodge curious critters, and uncover hidden treasures along the way.

Pack your virtual safari jeep — the wild side is ready for you!
