Great things were expected of Lost World Games whenever they burst onto the scene in December 2013 as an innovative new developer with the goal of developing entertaining and engaging online slot machines, but the word undiscovered has become a key part of their ‘undiscovered treasures of the casino game industry’ tagline in the years that have followed.

Founded by Rob Smith, a highly experienced gaming consultant and practising solicitor who is just as comfortable designing games as he is discussing intellectual property law, Lost World Games currently seems to be a one-man operation based in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire. This market town in Greater Manchester, England, is steeped in history after countless discoveries of Stone Age, Bronze Age and Viking treasures over the years, however, you won’t find any casino slot machines based on these periods while browsing the company’s miniscule portfolio.

Trying to Do Something Different

Lost World Games has never hidden its desire to start a new breed of online casino games and the company revealed very early in its existence that they would be striving to develop something different rather than releasing yet another slot based on gems, pirates or leprechauns – although they didn’t completely rule these themes out as they suggested they could be a possibility if an innovative approach could be taken.

Instead, the ‘geek culture’ of the company is strongly reflected in its passion for Eastern cultures. This means their inspiration comes from anime, console and PC games, comics, sci-fi and blockbuster movies. Considering how small the company is, it’s unrealistic to expect any slots based on box office movies due to the hefty licensing fees that would be required, but their King of Kaiju: Rampage Riches video slot is a prime example of what can be achieved when the creative juices flow.
