Key takeaways:
- Gamzix introduced the 3-Pot mechanic to its portfolio with 3 Fortune Pouches: Triple Wins.
- The mechanic allows a single Bonus Game to develop in different ways.
- Three Special Coins activate the Dual, Repeat, and Jackpot features.

- Gamzix plans to launch more 3-Pot titles with different themes.
Gamzix has introduced the 3-Pot mechanic to its portfolio for the first time with 3 Fortune Pouches: Triple Wins, launched on September 16, 2026. The format expands the possibilities within a single Bonus Game through different feature combinations, while giving operators greater flexibility in configuration and positioning.
Opinion.- Popular mechanics usually work for a simple reason: players know what to expect.
3-Pot is a clear example. It gives one Bonus Game more than one way to develop. With 3 Fortune Pouches: Triple Wins, launched on September 16, 2026, we added the format to the Gamzix portfolio for the first time.
Why 3-Pot works for players
The appeal of 3-Pot is that players have several reward objectives to follow at the same time, while the mechanic itself stays easy to understand. Each pot has a clear role, so from the start the player knows what to watch for and what each one can add to the Bonus Game.
That changes the expectation around the bonus. The player is not only waiting for it to trigger, but also watching how it may be enhanced. One feature can change the play area, another can add a jackpot element, while another can bring a multiplier. When two or three come together, the same Bonus Game can develop in different ways.
In 3 Fortune Pouches: Triple Wins, three coloured Special Coins make those possibilities easy to recognise: Blue activates Dual, Red activates Repeat, and Green activates the Jackpot feature. The Special Coins that trigger the Bonus Game determine which features activate in the round.
The goals are clear from the beginning, while the combinations add anticipation and variation. That balance between knowing what to watch for and not knowing exactly how the Bonus Game will develop is what keeps the format enjoyable and engaging for players.
Making the theme work with the mechanic
When we work with a new mechanic, we also pay attention to what is happening across the market. We play the games ourselves, see which mechanics and themes keep coming back, and look at what continues to resonate with players.
For our first 3-Pot title, an Asian-inspired direction felt natural. It is a theme we genuinely like at Gamzix, and fortune pouches, coins, gold, and a dragon give us a visual world that fits this mechanic particularly well.
Pouches fit naturally because they already suggest holding and collecting something valuable, so they feel like part of the game world rather than functional elements placed above the reels.
The theme also comes through in the gameplay. In the Repeat feature, the dragon appears at the end of the Bonus Game, and each swipe of its tail raises the multiplier applied to the win. When Repeat is active, the dragon turns the feature into a visible part of the round.
What this gives operators
The same structure that gives the player several things to anticipate also gives operators several ways to present the game.
Dual, Repeat, and Jackpot each have a clear name and visible effect, so campaigns can lead with different parts of the game depending on the audience. The proposition itself stays simple: one Bonus Game with several possible feature setups.
For a portfolio, 3-Pot changes how the Bonus Game develops, which is a different kind of addition from another theme or visual style.
The game also supports multiple RTP configurations and 19 localisations, with three Buy Bonus options depending on the number of Special Coins included.
More 3-Pot titles ahead
For our first 3-Pot title, we wanted to get this right: the player should not only know that a Bonus Game may be coming, but also have a reason to watch what kind of Bonus Game is taking shape before it starts.
More 3-Pot titles are on the way, with different themes!
