AAA games that had great mini-games
Video games offer a variety of genres and titles, ranging from open-world action adventures to role-playing. But one thing that many share is mini-games: brief yet exciting diversions which give gamers something additional to do besides their main quest. Of course, some are better than others – so we have put together the top five for you!
Five Finger Fillet (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Five Finger Fillet is a game that has been around for centuries, so it was only natural for it to make its way into Red Dead Redemption 2. This mini-game involves using your hands to quickly move between five different points on a tabletop without hitting your fingers against each other. It is an intense game that requires quick reflexes and attention to detail, making it one of the most thrilling minigames in any AAA game.
Gwent (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)
Gwent is a renowned card game, and its integration in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt exponentially increased the exhilaration of this classic. Every round calls for players to formulate their moves carefully while being mindful of how their adversary will act next in order to conquer them. In addition to providing endless entertainment, playing Gwent also hones your strategic thinking!
Diamond Casino & Resort (Grand Theft Auto V)
While many may have played golf as one of the best mini-games within this historic franchise at the top of the list, there is no denying that the online version of this game provides some entertainment in the form of gambling. Players are able to head to the ‘The Diamond Casino & Resort’, where they are able to enjoy a variety of different casino classics.
This mini-game may suit those that continue to search for the best gambling experiences where it is possible to win real money. This part of the game gives them the opportunity to play many of the same games that can be found at the top-rated online casinos for real money that offer bonuses and other incentives. This is because they are able to enjoy casino favorites like slots and table games, as well as The Lucky Wheel.
The Diamond Casino & Resort can be the perfect place to experience and practice how each game is played before committing to a real money option, too, as gamers will be able to learn and adopt any strategies that could potentially help them enhance their experiences further.
Orlog (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla)
Arguably one of the best mini-games available in an AAA game, Orlog is a board game that can be found in the Valhalla edition of Assassin’s Creed. Playable by themselves, or with up to three others, players are tasked with trying to outsmart their opponents by trying to gain control of vital positions that exist on the board. They can do this by being strategic and placing runes and tokens in the places that can help them to achieve their goals.
Demontower (Night In The Woods)
For hours of entertainment, nothing beats Demontower – the delightful tower defense game in Night In The Woods. As you battle your way up the demonic spire using any weapons at your disposal, prepare to be challenged by waves of demons! With multiple levels and unlockable characters available for play, this mini-game is certain to captivate players with its thrill and excitement.
Plenty of AAA Games Offer Mini-Game Experiences
Mini-games undoubtedly elevate AAA titles and offer players a plethora of activities for them to enjoy aside from the main story. From fun mini-challenges in between cutscenes to sidequests that can help progress their character’s storyline – these games provide an unparalleled level of variety and enjoyment that make them truly shine!

We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
