DiLiGO Interview: WildCat Matt

Name

WildCat Matt

Date of Birth

25/04/1985

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

1.) The probability of any celebrity being even vaguely like me is exceptionally low.

2.) Are you trying to suggest that I am not already a celebrity?!

3.) I am a unique and special snowflake.

4.) I Am Weasel.

What do you do at DiLiGO Games HQ and how  much do you LOVE it?

I'm the technical designer. I design and maintain the user interface that surrounds the games and I also do quality checks on the games themselves. I like this job because the petty foibles of my colleagues are an endless source of amusement. Also, we occasionally go out for lunch to the local pizza restaurant, which is great!

Which do you prefer and why - playing slots  at a casino or on Facebook?

Personally, I prefer playing slots at a casino because I like fruitlessly blowing away my hard-earned cash. Although Slot Machines on Facebook are much more convenient- and easier on the wallet!

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

My favourite is Ancient Egypt because I am fascinated by the history and mythology of that subject.

What theme would you most like to make?

I'd like to do a theme based on stereotypical B-grade action movies.

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

I like to play the less popular games because I have a better chance of winning Tokens by getting into the top 20 of the "Best Spin of the Hour" leader board. I also like to get all the upgrades for those games to increase my chances even further.

FIFA World Cup nostalgia

Feel it; it is here – the end of the FIFA World Cup. It is that moment when you give a last nostalgic toot on your plastic vuvuzela before hanging it up with your other World Cup memorabilia – like the beer stained t-shirt you wore when Andres Iniesta scored Spain’s winning goal, or your orange cap covered in bite marks from an irate Brazilian fan you happened to share a table with in the pub.

Before we can all return to the mundane world of work there are a few matters to take care of. Firstly, you need to run through every special World Cup moment and retell it in ever expanding detail, until the 2010 legends are firmly cast in oral history. Let’s not forget Maradona’s field side theatrics, and Gabriel Heinzen getting knocked out by a camera, or that sweet crying North Korean.
Secondly, of course, there is the future of Paul the Octopus to consider. What will happen to this eight-legged psychic who took some of the fun out of the final with his 100% accurate prediction record? Apparently angry German fans feel betrayed by the Octopus for predicting their loss against Spain, and they have put a price on his clever head. Fortunately, Paul is now safely retired and as he enters old age he will be spending the last months of his three-year lifespan contemplating the glory of his youth and predicting great events for the future in the silent obscurity of his tank. No doubt there are many lottery players who would be quite happy to offer him an alternative refuge.

And finally we have to congratulate the real champion of this tournament, the underdog that so few expected to succeed: the 2010 World Cup host nation, South Africa. Sepp Blatter gave South Africa a nine-out-of-ten thumbs-up. It's no wonder South African's are still celebrating. They did it. And they did it well. The sceptics should perhaps have consulted Paul the Octopus.

So now that the games are over, displaying nostalgic memorabilia, telling blow-by-blow 2010 stories or taking a long holiday to Cape Town are some options for stopping the thrills of the World Cup from fading. But there is an even better way to reminisce as our football-inspired game, Footy Fanatics, is here to stay as a way to keep the spirit of the beautiful game alive.

Take your chance and join the champions to score big with Footy Fanatics’ free spin feature (level 1). This way you can tie up all the loose strings of the FIFA World Cup, say good-bye to an unforgettable tournament, and still let football fever simmer away for as long as you like, spin after winning spin.
