“Gamzix made first steps in rather challenging times for us. But I have no regrets about it. If I could turn back time, I would change nothing. Difficulties only made our team better, stronger and more flexible.”

These are some of the remarkably positive words of Alexandr Kosogov, CEO of Gamzix. Read on for the full interview. If you are a bit down or struggling for new ideas, these simple answers could spark a spur.

Q. To begin with, tell us about your background? How did you discover gaming?

A. I discovered gaming when I was working as Brand Manager in the lottery company. Since then I decided to connect my life with the Gaming industry. During 8 years of work, I had no doubts about this choice, because I’m sure that only a job you like could bring you such pleasure and happiness.

Q. Now on to Gamzix. What does the name imply and what led to the company’s founding?

A. I felt that I’ve reached the height at other companies and the only way to satisfy my ambitions was to establish my own gaming company. Thanks to my profound knowledge in business and great experience in the iGaming industry, Gamzix saw the world.

While choosing a name for my company, I followed specific criteria: it should be a short two-syllable word, easy to read and pronounce, sweet-sounding and up to date. Moreover, Gamzix was a unique name, so it met all requirements!

Q. Gamzix was established in January 2020. Soon after, the covid pandemic hit the top gear. Once the multiple rounds of pandemic were overcome, the war started. How was the going, over the last two or so years?

A. Yes, you’re definitely right. Gamzix made first steps in rather challenging times for us. But I have no regrets about it. If I could turn back time, I would change nothing. Difficulties only made our team better, stronger and more flexible. So proud of my colleagues! Together we could do almost impossible: despite covid pandemic and war in Ukraine we didn’t stop any working process, furthermore, Gamzix continues to develop extremely and shows good results. I believe in its success.

Q. Now on to the products. What are the products do you offer? What’s your USP?

A. Today, Gamzix’s library is filled with 27 various slots that entertain from the first spin. These are games with different themes, high quality graphics, bright characters and symbols. Our key advantages are a wide range of in-game features, API free rounds and jackpot, revenue-boosting promo tools, multicurrency and  multilanguage.

Gold Mania. It has colorful graphics, gold mining symbols and high payouts. RTP of 97% is quite high, maximum win is 25,000x. The mining theme of Gold Mania is rather breathtaking and keeps the tension. The game can boast loads of in-game features, including the free spins mode and sticky wilds with multipliers.

Really Hot Flaming Edition. It’s simple, juicy and attracts a lot. This fruity slot is filled with Hot Bet and Super Hot Bet features. Combinations of symbols form 5 winning lines, a player can win up to 750x your bets.

Sunny Coin: Hold the Spin. The game has amazing artwork, it’s a mix of Egyptian mythology and royalty. Sunny Coin has interesting bonuses inside the game: Free Spins with levels, 4 levels of Jackpot and Gamble game. This slot has 5 reels and 20 paylines, and deserves the attention of players!

A. Gamzix currently operates in CIS and Western Europe, our next destinations are Africa, Asia and Latin America. To tell you the truth, we want to enter all possible markets to make Gamzix popular all over the world!

Q. Could you tell us about the new games in the pipeline. Any blockbuster release?

A. We already had two new releases in May. First one is Rich Granny slot with an original and exciting theme. In the post office, gamers will find the granny with her chihuahua, who is planning a robbery! The slot comes with 5 reels and has 10 paylines. The RTP 96% and maximum win x40000 definitely get interested players.

Second one is Book of Cairo. It is an Egyptian-themed slot with an entertaining gameplay set, attractive hieroglyphic symbols, famous characters and powerful music.

Till the end of the year we are also planning to produce mini games, crash games with innovative features and slots with new mechanics.

Q. What kind of change that you think Gamzix has made in the gaming market? It is still early days for a two-year-old company. But still, while looking back, can you think of any changes that Gamzix has effected in the industry?

A. For these 2 years many people from the industry – competitors, gamers, casinos, media, other companies and professionals – have heard about Gamzix. It is also a little win for our team! I’m glad that we are developing constantly and achieving results.

It’s very hard for the newbie to make crucial changes in the iGaming market, but I believe that very soon we will make our competitors nervous and shake the market!
