One of the challenges of that project process was the need to maintain a similarity and connection to the Caribbean both experience and look & feel, but at the same time produce a fundamental difference that would make Ultimate intriguing and attractive.

TRIPS
The ultimate gaming experience allows players to win with the additional bet of the Trips even in cases where they lost the game.
But beyond the extra bet and the extra thrill, the Trips make this 'player vs house' game more social. With the help of the Magic Trips, a social moment was added to the game, if one of the players won a bet on the Trips, he automatically allocates a portion to all the other players who bet on the Trips.

The Tripser | Choosing Trips bet component
We called the Trips component - Tripser.
The Tripser is characterized by being 'floating' and separated from the main action buttons because it is a side bet. In addition, the decision on the amount of the bet or its change affects only the next game.

To enhance the user experience of the Tripser, we added festive elements (visual and sound) to each click of a larger amount. On the other hand, if the user selects NONE, the Tripser lights are turned off.

OLIVIA (and her tiger)
The role of the key character in this game is particularly important.
As BTH games are 'against the house', the character that represents the house is extremely important, and their characterization creates much of the character of the game, the brand, and the experience.

Although this is of course a fictitious and graphic character, the users tend to develop strong feelings and a connection to the leading character (as could be learned from Bella in the Caribbean).
For this reason, as part of Olivia's character design process, I wrote a character story for her that will allow us, both the product and monetization teams, to deepen the acquaintance with the values that she represents for the benefit of continuing the work on the feature.

META CHASE
As in other games in the application and in general, in addition to the immediate chase, there are bigger chases.
In Ultimate as in the Caribbean BTH, there is a Meta chase where the goal of the players is to accumulate enough progress to receive the bracelet of the game.
