your enjoyment of a casino.

Instead of treating each game

as an isolated entity,

narratives tie all of the games

at a casino together.

points, you travel through

space to different planets.

and imagery helps to tell the

story.

found within games.

What makes a narrative effective?

Attention to detail is always

a very pleasing feature of

story-telling, as it aids the

imagination.

Page 17: Narratives at Mobile Casinos

What makes a narrative effective?

The simple story-lines

are often the best. It

doesn’t have to be

complicated.

Page 18: Narratives at Mobile Casinos

What makes a narrative effective?

For instance, one of the reasons

that Cop the Cash 2 is so enjoyable

is that the root narrative is the

simple game of ‘cops and robbers’

that you may have played as a

child.

Page 20: Narratives at Mobile Casinos

What differences are there between casino-wide narratives and game narratives?

Game narratives tend to have these

features, while casino-wide narratives

do not:

• Sound effects and music

• Short films at the beginning of a

game that help to set the scene and

tell the story. For example, check

out Gonzo’s Quest.

Page 22: Narratives at Mobile Casinos

How common are narratives?

Casino-wide narratives, such as

the Casumo Adventure, are not

very common, and there’s plenty

of room in the market place for

casinos to make more use of

them.

Page 23: Narratives at Mobile Casinos

How common are narratives?

You will find that narratives within

games are common. However,

games that have really good

narratives are harder to find.

Creating a game with a great

narrative is a bit of an art.
