Hey everyone,
I just have to share this insane story because I still can’t believe it myself. For the past few years, I’ve been working as a freelance designer. Let’s just say my financial situation has been… unstable. I was struggling to make ends meet, and it got to the point where I couldn't pay my rent. I was desperate, literally wandering the streets, feeling like I’d hit rock bottom.
Then, I saw a flyer for a "Magic Sticker" competition on a bus stop notice board. The prize? A million dollars in venture capital for the designer with the most downloads. This was it—the light at the end of the tunnel. I decided to go all in.
I worked day and night on my emoji designs, pushing myself to the limit. But as the deadline loomed, I hit a major creative block. Stressed out of my mind, I ended downing a bottle of wine just to cope. I passed out at my desk.
When I woke up the next morning, hungover and confused, I found a completed design on my screen. It was perfect. I barely remembered creating it, but in my drunken stupor, I had a vague memory of a voice saying: “Happiness will be delivered through your designs if you stay true to yourself and remember your intentions.”
I submitted the design immediately. And guess what? My emoji stickers got the most downloads! I won the grand prize! That sentence from my drunken mania has now become my life motto.
It’s funny how life works. My big break literally came from a "drunk design mania." And now, my story and that winning feeling have even inspired a slot machine! It’s called Emoji Riches.
For those who like the details, Emoji Riches is a 6x6 video slot all about symbol combinations. It features sticky winning symbols and Wild symbols with multipliers. The best part? During any free spin, if one or more Wilds land, the win multiplier increases by 2 for each one before your win is calculated. It’s your chance to trigger a Big Win, just like my unexpected jackpot!
So, if you're ever feeling stuck, remember my story. Sometimes, the solution comes from the most unexpected places. Stay true to yourself, and maybe you'll find your own "Emoji Riches."
Cheers,
Locke
