How Online Slots Could Improve in 2022

Posted on January 3, 2022December 30, 2021 by Abe Efe

Online slots remain to be one of the most popular online gambling verticals on the planet. The sector has been improving every single year thanks in large part to how open operators are to embracing innovation and new technologies. Among the biggest improvements that have come to online slots is the adoption of crypto and blockchain. These have pushed the gaming experience to amazing heights while continuing to expand the possibilities of even more improvements.

As we kick off a new year, we expect the online slots sector to continue on its path of stable growth and development. Demand for high-quality games is at an all-time high and this is not likely to slow down anytime soon. That said, we are very excited to see how developers and various iGaming operators will approach the market over the course of the year.

Thankfully, we do not have to speculate too much. There are a few things that we are likely to see in the online slots sector in 2022. They include:

Next-Gen Graphics

Display technology has certainly come a long way. Whether you are using your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, there have been vast improvements in the display quality. High refresh rate screens that support high dynamic range (HDR) are now very common. The same applies to displays that support 4K and 8K formats.

Now, not many applications have taken full advantage of these capabilities, at least not yet. Given their fast-paced and interactive nature, online slots are the first to come to mind when we think about how iGaming can leverage these impressive display technologies. In 2022, we can expect to see smoother online slot games with even crisper and more colorful graphics. All you need is a modern device which many people already own.

Next-Level Immersion

The first way we can think of the next generation of immersive online slots is with the rapid rise of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. These will allow players to experience the games in a new way. Bridging the gap between the land-based casino experience and online gaming is still a challenge but with these, that dream is a step closer to being achieved.

Another way of achieving next-level immersion that will likely be very prominent in 2022 is live gaming. This is already possible with other types of casino games thanks to the existence of high-speed networks and high-definition streaming technologies. It will be interesting to see how studios go about bringing the same amazing live experiences to slots enthusiasts.

Other notable mentions in this regard include the integration of AI into various online gaming platforms. This will come with a ton of benefits including fraud detection and player protection. We also look forward to seeing more regulatory push as part of the efforts to make online gambling safer for everyone. The popularity of online slots makes it a key area of focus for this.

Crypto Slot Maker BGaming Releases Industry Trends Report

Posted on December 3, 2021December 2, 2021 by Aaron Decker

The gambling sector is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing industries on the planet. This was confirmed by a recent report from renowned crypto-focused gambling operator BGaming. The report comes after a study that lasted several months and focused on key market trends within the gambling industry.

According to the report, crypto gambling which is one of the fastest-growing trends in iGaming won the market. Over the past year, we have seen a massive upsurge in the amount of interest as well as the popularity of digital currencies. Subsequently, this has led to a massive demand for amazing crypto products. Online gambling services and products were among the top.

Speaking on these findings, Bogdan Gres, Brand Team Lead at BGaming, noted that BGaming certainly has a special interest in emerging trends in the world of crypto gambling. The company boasts of being the first online gambling provider to offer crypto-powered gambling products. However, that is not enough to cut in the very competitive and fast-growing market.

Innovation is very important and for that reason, the company has worked so hard to widen its network of crypto projects. Already the results of those efforts are starting to show. For instance, the number and magnitude of winnings on these projects have risen significantly over the past few months.

All that can partly be attributed to the rise in mobile gambling as well as the growing young adult market. Both have been highlighted in BGaming’s report and represent market trends that just about every gambling operator will need to take very seriously going forward.

A Wider Portfolio of Casino Games

While the report was only announced recently, the gambling operator seems to have been already using insights from its study to grow. In addition to inking several lucrative partnerships across the world, BGaming has also significantly increased the number of slot games in its portfolio.

Recently-launched titles such as Zorro Wild Heart, the multi-skin edition of Fruit Million slot and Road2Richs slot are just a few of the ways the company is advancing its plans. Its new partners who include the likes of BC.GAME, Wild Tornado and VBET will play a huge role in further growth.

For players, this means more variety than ever before. Crypto enthusiasts are also bound to benefit from this. Online gambling has been at the forefront of pushing crypto closer to mainstream adoption. This makes BGaming’s efforts vital to the future of both online gambling and the crypto ecosystem.

Mastercard Partners with Bakkt for Crypto Payments

Posted on November 3, 2021November 3, 2021 by Abe Efe

Crypto has been slowly inching towards mainstream adoption. A lot of progress has been made in that regard but that is just the beginning. There are still lots of parties that need to come on board to push the payments revolution further forward. The most recent player in the financial industry that is warming up to digital currencies is Mastercard.

Thanks to a recent partnership with fast-rising digital assets platform Bakkt, Mastercard’s partners will now be able to issue crypto-branded debit and credit cards. The company’s robust and vast payment network will let its users buy, sell and even hold digital assets. Bakkt will be providing the custodial wallets that will make all that possible.

At the surface level, consumers now have the chance to use crypto like never before. These crypto cards will be accepted at Mastercard-friendly outlets. At these places, the digital assets held by the consumers will be exchanged for fiat before the point of purchase which lets them get more choice and value.

“Together with Bakkt and grounded by our principled approach to innovation, we’ll not only empower our partners to offer a dynamic mix of digital assets options, but also deliver differentiated and relevant consumer experiences.”
Sherri Haymond, executive vice president, Digital Partnerships at Mastercard.

To make it even better, Mastercard also plans to integrate the digital assets into its existing loyalty solutions. This means that, aside from being able to spend their crypto, the consumers will also earn crypto rewards.

Good News for Crypto Gambling?

The world of online gambling is not particularly new to crypto-powered payments. There are even online casinos that are built entirely around digital currencies. Even so, the move by Mastercard presents a unique opportunity for even more growth in the use of crypto in iGaming spaces.

The fact that both companies are committed to growing the crypto ecosystem is very impressive, to say the least. It will be interesting to see all this is implemented in the online gambling platforms that currently accept Mastercard as a payment method.

Naturally, given the reputation of Mastercard, some things might not be carried over from the other kinds of crypto use. For instance, anonymity will likely not be a key consideration as Mastercard is usually linked to bank accounts. Aspects such as speed and low-cost transactions, on the other hand, could still stick around.

All in all, this is an impressive move and we cannot wait to see what comes of it in the long run. Everyone has very high hopes for it.

Stakelogic’s Other Expansion Plans

While the partnership between Stakelogic and BetCity is very exciting, there is even more to look forward to. Stakelogic has been very aggressive with its expansion plans.

Posted on July 3, 2021 by Aaron Decker

Renowned cryptocurrency-powered online gambling platform CryptoSlots has kicked off July on a very high note. Customers of the iGaming operator can look forward to a fun month as the company continues to refine its products. Its efforts when it comes to pushing crypto to the mainstream are quite impressive, to say the least. But nothing is certainly more important to the gamers than the overall gaming experience. It delivers on that front too.

Light the Night

The first thing offering that CryptoSlots customers should keep an eye out for is its new ‘Light the Night’ offering. This comes just in time for the 4th of July celebrations and is aimed at giving the customers a treat during the holiday weekend.

Light in Night features several eye-catching additions. These include dazzling fireworks that light up the Las Vegas Strip, as well as Anywhere Wins, Expanding Wilds, Mystery Prizes, and a Pick Me bonus game with instant cash bonuses. Those will just be the beginning though. Players who get started on the game between July 2 and July 8 will get an amazing bonus boost to get them started. For deposits of $10 or more, they will receive a 45 percent introductory bonus that they can use up until July 8. This is only valid for the new game.

There is also a 25 percent match bonus that can be redeemed using the bonus code EXTRASPINS. This is valid for all new slots except for Jackpot Trigger.

CryptoSlots Poker Nights

One other new offering that CryptoSlots customers can now look forward to is the operator’s new Poker Nights. For anyone who is all about enjoying the thrill of a good poker game, CryptoSlots has quite the treat in store for you.

Crypto Casino Rollbit Launches Crypto Trading Service

Posted on June 3, 2021June 1, 2021 by Abe Efe

One of the most interesting things about modern businesses is just how dynamic they are and all the evolution that they often go through. In the world of crypto, we have experienced several changes since the late noughties and this has been even more apparent over the past couple of years. This aligns right with the launch of Rollbit, a renowned new-age online casino platform that specializes in digital currencies.

The company was launched way back in February 2020 and has since grown to be a force to reckon with in the world of crypto gambling. Its success can largely be attributed to its X-Roulette game which launched at about the same time. The game gained popularity for offering all the best features of online standard format roulette games but with the added advantage of being provably fair.

Now, Rollbit has plans to extend its footprint further in the crypto sector and it is doing this by launching a digital currency trading offering. The users of the platform can already bet on the price of various digital currencies including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum. With the introduction of the new trading platform, the users can now also opt in to enjoy crypto trading in a simpler, more exciting, and accessible manner.

Industry-Leading Features

Needless to say, there are already quite a number of cryptocurrency trading platforms available on the internet. Even so, Rollbit is setting itself apart by offering some things that other exchanges may not be able to beat. These include:

Zero-fee trading
Automatic cashouts
Up to x1000 leverage
A focus on community

In addition to that, the traders who will be using Rollbit’s trading platform will also be treated to some additional perks that will trickle down from their casino operation. These include cashbacks, rakebacks as well as level-up bonuses among others.

“We are very excited to offer crypto trading on Rollbit. Our goal was to eliminate the complex nature of trading on traditional crypto exchanges, and the team has certainly done an excellent job. With crypto being extremely popular right now, we couldn’t think of a better time to launch this. Not only are we the first crypto casino to offer crypto trading, but users can also be rewarded for trading on Rollbit as all profit and loss contributes to our lucrative rewards program,” Rollbit’s co-founder Razer said.

The casino and the new crypto trading service aside, Rollbit also has other exciting new additions in the works. They have promised to innovate even further by expanding the range of digital currencies their users can trade. More unique or innovative features and even other provably fair games are also reportedly in the works.

Atari Launches Cryptocurrency Casino in Partnership with Decentral Games

Posted on May 3, 2021May 2, 2021 by Aaron Decker

As part of an ambitious plan to regain its former glory as a gaming entertainment powerhouse, renowned software company Atari recently revealed its plans to start an Ethereum blockchain casino in partnership with Decentral Games. To make it stand out from the rest of the industry, the company’s new crypto casino would not feature Atari non-fungible tokens (NFTs) but also offer its users access to several nostalgia-inducing online games. All these would be leveraged by the players to earn even more digital currency. Projections for the venture were pretty optimistic with Atari and Decentral Games looking to exceed $150 million in bets in their first year of operation.

“Atari, and its catalog of classic games, continues to be some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Atari will continue to leverage this notoriety in both gaming and non-gaming-related fields (including hotels and casinos). Most recently, Atari has seen a tremendous amount of success in licensing the Atari-related brands for the use in NFTs,” Atari says.

The company has now followed through with the plans for the crypto casino and it was every bit as high-profile as expected. Last Thursday, the Japanese video game company launched the site in a virtual event that was graced by several artists including DJ, record producer, and electronic musician Dillon Francis.

Huge Auction and High Hopes

The launch event by itself was a pretty huge milestone for the video game turned crypto company. However, it took things a step further through a high-profile auction. Dillon Francis who headlined the launch event was one of the people behind the special non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that were auctioned off during the event.

For this, the DJ partnered and collaborated with MERDA, a renowned visual artist. They then created a total of three NFTs all of which draw inspiration from Gerald the Pinata. These special NFTs were auctioned off on OpenSea and other platforms on Thursday night with the “3D Pixel Gerald” NFT selling for a whopping $17,778 (6.42 ether).

All that points to the seriousness with which Atari is taking the crypto world. In early March, it was revealed that Atari would press on into the crypto space with the formation of a blockchain division, ‘Atari Blockchain’. The launch of the crypto casino sets a strong foundation for further growth for the company in the highly dynamic digital currency and blockchain sectors. it is a very strong start but we will, of course, need to wait a little longer to see how exactly everything pans out.

Pragmatic Play’s Slots Go Live with BetPlay

Posted on April 3, 2021April 2, 2021 by Abe Efe

Renowned gaming solutions developer Pragmatic Play has been pursuing global expansion for quite some time now. The company is already considered to be one of the biggest brands in the world of online gambling and its expansion plans will only work towards solidifying its position. The most recent move that the company has made in that regard is a lucrative partnership with BetPlay, a leading Colombian online gambling operator.

As per the terms of the agreement between the two companies, BetPlay will now be able to bring Pragmatic Play’s world-class slot titles to the Colombian gambling market. This will not only draw more traffic to BetPlay but it will also serve to further grow the commercial and brand success for Pragmatic Play both in Colombia and the continent as a whole.

Among the amazing slot titles that BetPlay customers will not be able to enjoy playing are popular releases like Juicy Fruits, The Hand of Midas, Sweet Bonanza, and Wolf Golf among others. If the reception of these games in other markets is anything to go by, slots enthusiasts in Colombia certainly have a lot to look forward to

More Aspects of the Deal

Besides bringing its amazing catalog of top-notch online slots to BetPlay, Pragmatic Play will also be providing the operator with some neat value-adding services. To begin with, BetPlay will now be able to utilize Pragmatic Play’s Enhance promotional tools. These will come in hand in bringing even more people to the already amazing platform.

In addition to the Enhance promotional tools, BetPlay can also integrate the Drops & Wins network promotion that is meant to bring more entertainment to players. All these features will be working together to ensure that every player gets the best possible experience right from day 1.

“Going live with our complete Slots collection with BetPlay is a huge step for our positioning in the continent, and we expect nothing but the best from this collaboration. BetPlay is one of the market leaders in Colombia and they truly stand out as an operator, so we’re looking forward to seeing how our titles are received,” Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, commented.

Capturing market share is quite a big deal for Pragmatic Play but this would not be possible without the mechanisms that the company has put in place to foster growth. Most notably, the adaptability of Pragmatic Play’s products has been at the forefront of its success in international markets.
