Channeling AI Tools to Supercharge Seasonal Slots

01.01.2026

Thomas Smallwood, from ESA Gaming x OpenSlots recently spoke to SiGMA World about the advantages of using AI to create games for rapid deployment. In this article he discusses how artificial intelligence is transforming the creation of seasonal and promotional slot games, such as titles themed around holidays like Christmas, St Patrick’s Day and Halloween.

Traditionally, building these games required significant manual effort from designers, artists, and engineers to meet tight release windows an dhad to be planned months and months in advance by operators looking for unique custom content.

AI tools, such as OpenSlots now empower operators to produce polished seasonal games much faster and with fewer resources by automating art, audio, prototyping, and game design tasks, enabling teams to focus on refinement rather than starting from scratch.

This results in quicker iteration, cost savings, and a higher output of seasonal content without taking focus away from core titles. What are th emain points and how can OpenSlots help:

  • Seasonal slots are valuable for game roadmaps but difficult to produce on time due to manual effort across multiple disciplines.
  • OpenSlots enables rapid development by automating end-to-end tasks such as game design, graphics, sound, and prototyping.
  • The time to market for a game is cut from months to a matter of days.
  • By breaking down the development process into its ocmponent parts and creatingtools to run them side by side games can go into certification much faster.
  • Generative AI accelerates asset creation (art, animation, audio), enabling artists to refine multiple variants instead of starting from scratch.
  • Studios adopting AI strategically are likely to lead in seasonal content innovation without pulling resources from major projects.
