The Life of Online Casinos during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Casino stocks face a lethal challenge during the coronavirus pandemic, with Las Vegas, Macao, Atlantic City, and other major venues around the world closing down operations. Even the Indian Nations are getting hit hard, offering no alternative to big city or riverboat gambling. The shutdown could signal bankruptcy for major players, with lodging, gaming, food, entertainment, and liquor sales all drying up.

As we know, since so many people are required or choose to stay at home, the majority of avid gamblers have turned to playing online. The current climate is pushing operators to find ways to keep their businesses running. Switching to online is one of the best solutions for the current scenario.

At this point, online market reach has exploded, as people who don’t normally gamble might see online casinos as a way to fill their free time. Sports betting, which is currently unavailable or highly limited, is now replaced by similar activities such as slots, poker or roulette, which have no relationship to sport, but offer that same feeling induced by all gambling activities – the hope of winning by simply playing games and having fun.

The pandemic has come with numerous side effects, and the land-based gaming industry has been hit hard. On the other hand, online and particularly mobile casino gaming has been taken by storm by avid players during these difficult times. The ease of access made it easier for players to be part of a digital world that is versatile and opens the door to big payouts and unique experiences.

Thanks to the internet, gambling enthusiasts don’t have to leave their homes to gamble. The online gambling industry, unlike its land-based counterparts, has recorded an increase in its clientele population, which simply means that they are earning millions of dollars in revenue every day.

How can You attract players during these times?

Here are some ideas that we’d like to share so that you can get the most positive experience while starting your online casino or improving the online gambling services that you already provide.

Moving fast is a key

Since more users from a wider demographic are choosing to switch to online gaming, we can see that the demand for different kinds of games is increasing, and operators are constantly working to keep up. Finding a provider that can set up your business fast is an important step that you need to consider if you want to start your gaming business.

Invest in ideas with great potential

During the pandemic, we’ve seen an almost total shift into the digital world. Casino gaming is now dominated by cryptocurrency casinos, online slots, online poker, and eSports. We’ve seen a surge in the development of crypto casinos – it’s the fastest way to start a gaming business in countries where cryptocurrencies are not banned or falling under specific laws. Because of the nature of blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency sector was not significantly affected by outside factors.

We’ve seen that Bitcoin fluctuated between $9000 and $10000 during the pandemic, making it a good candidate for investment during these times. Additional Bitcoin ATMs were installed around the world, while new cryptocurrencies continued to appear. This was all made possible thanks to the increased number of transactions during the pandemic.

Create a thoughtful bonus program

Offering the best incentives to players to sign up and play at your casino is one of the best ways to reach new customers. Many online casino operators step up their bonus program game during the pandemic. Promotions and tournaments are also a great way to catch the attention of new players. Offering bonuses is always an effective way to boost clients’ moods and keep them coming back.

Maintain a solid marketing strategy

Just opening an online casino with good games and interesting bonuses is not always enough for it to become successful. An impeccable marketing strategy is essential if you want to promote your casino to the right audience and reach as many players as possible. Consider creating long-term SEO and PR strategies that will boost your casinos’ dominance on the online gaming scene. Come up with new ideas and choose a marketing team that will promote your casino according to your expectations.

Conclusion

Fortunately for online gaming investors, operators, and developers, the coronavirus pandemic didn’t have a highly negative impact on the online gaming industry. Even if people are coming out of the lockdown, habits have drastically changed, while players are prioritizing safety.

Quickspin is now in!

From today, we are happy to introduce The Quickspin to You. That’s a new provider for Imperium Games. You know he has the quickest spins in the West, aren’t that? Also in the East. Joking aside, it’s a one of these companies which decided to start creating the games they wanted to play themselves. What we deeply appreciate. Quickspin was born in 2011. Since day one, they have set out to cause a market-changing shift in quality and innovation. At the time, they wanted to shake things up a bit by creating the innovative and high-quality slots they felt were missing in the marketplace. Just three usual Stockholm guys. It is our view that these guys believed in doing things a bit differently, that’s why we are working with them now.

As the Time goes by

A lot has happened since 2011, that’s for sure. A lot has changed, especially in the context of the entertainment industry as a whole. But that core belief has always been, and always will be, the driving force in everything we do together with the Quickspin. We care about the details and we believe in high quality good craftsmanship – because our players deserve it. For Now, the Quickspin family has grown to about 100 people from 29 countries, spread out over three offices in Stockholm, Malta, and Kyiv. It is a huge company, so we are glad we have this partnership.

The slots of the Quickspin are prominently positioned in the world’s most successful online casinos, which barely can make you sad. There is every reason to believe that it will be constantly – because the Quickspin comes to work every day to create awesome slots and to give our players the most thrilling gambling experience ever. They spend a lot of time on different types of game mechanics, to target different kinds of players. You will always find the following in their games: clear symbols and clear instructions. There is always an expanding universe with innovative features, top-notch audio, awesome graphics, and the newest games. They keep creating awesome slots that we love, at least they keep the standard of the games high. The player is always front of mind in everything they do. The team, the artists, the game designers, the mathematicians – they all have their style, and you can see their hand in everything they do. They create games for every kind of player who is used to the best out there. For anyone. Be sure, they have a lot of fun along the way, the same as you will have while playing their games.

Quickspin slots for sale: Numbers

Currently, 63 Quickspin slots for sale are available on The Platform, 58 of them are available on mobile and they promise that they will release 12 more slots this year, which we have no doubt. Our players use mobile devices more than desktops these days. They develop all games with a “mobile first” approach. This approach means that they develop their video slots for mobile devices from the moment they start working on game mechanics. Besides awesome slots, they also make great gamification tools that players love. These tools will help us with the entire player life cycle: acquisition, retention, reactivation, and VIP management. They are a proven modern success.

Let’s see what they’re offering. There are Challenges. Challenges is a great seasonally-themed loyalty tool that’s designed to add an extra level of entertainment to the slots. It’s designed as an engaging and immersive mini-game that sits above the main game grid. Just like a game in a game, The Thing in Itself philosophically. The player’s mission is to get a character through a maze and to the other side, where a chest will open up to reveal a pre-determined prize. The spins in the slot are the key to unlocking the pathway across the maze, one step at a time (or several). When one of the Quickspin’s casino clients ran a Quickspin Challenge with one of their games, the number of users playing that specific game increased by 79%, the game rounds increased by 172%, and the turnover increased by 89%

Tools

Another promotional tool is The Feature Trigger which lets players experience the Free Spins Bonus in any of their slots. The Bonus game is what all players chase, as it holds the biggest value and entertainment – and now they can experience one “on the house”.

Now if we want to let our players experience a game for free, with the stakes they prefer, we can use a unique promotional tool Flexible Free Rounds. Now we can decide which players are eligible, on which game, and at what cost. The fact that we can give our players a range of bet options to choose from makes their Flexible Free Rounds unique.

Also, there are their Achievements and Game Events modules. The Achievements module makes use of the 6 unique game events in their games. Achievements add an extra layer of gameplay, to give back a portion of the player’s expected losses. We guess unexpected too. Achievements have 4 different levels and pay out rewards on each level. When players can track their progress, claim rewards, and use their rewards within the Achievements page that’s accessible within their games – it is fantastic! And their Game Events are events that occur during gameplay, all their games come with 6 predetermined events. For the official record – now we can use these events for a wide range of promotions! Their platform will notify our system whenever any of these events occur during a player’s spin, so our system can keep track of them and in response trigger rewards for players when they meet certain milestones.

Conclusion

They’ve gone from three slot-loving friends in Stockholm to a large international company filled with passionate slot enthusiasts from all over the world. We’re extremely proud to be partners with them. We hope to see some even more fascinating games, gripping gameplay, big wins, and groundbreaking gamification tools. The Gaming market will never be the same.

Less than a year ago, the South African Republic hosted a very important event for the entire gaming industry – the first ICE Africa exhibition. It brought together representatives of the gaming industry from more than 70 countries. Two eventful days of the exhibition set the pace in the development of the gambling business for a year ahead.

And now we are counting the days before ICE Africa 2019 will open its doors for the second time – the event our team simply cannot miss.

How it will be

The second ICE Africa exhibition will be held on October 2-3, 2019. The venue – Sandton Convention Center – remains the same and is located in the business district of Johannesburg. More than 80 companies will present their products and services at the exhibition. 

The organizers, Clarion Gaming, promise all visitors will experience two productive days filled with a variety of events. Apart from striking up acquaintances and communication between potential partners in the exhibition area, everyone can benefit from educational programs.

This year, the conference will be divided into 2 main streams, with more than 60 speakers delivering their presentations. The main topics for discussion will include  investment in the industry, licensing gambling activities, as well as safety issues and prospects for the development of gambling on the entire African continent.

The newest addition to the exhibition will be NetworkAfrica Space. These are networking sessions, organized in round table format, and dedicated to each region of Africa where the gambling business is legal. Participants will be able to ask questions and discuss important topics with industry leaders.

See You there!

Another interesting event to take place during the exhibition is selecting the winner of the Pitc-ICE startup competition. 7 presentations of the finalists’ projects are currently available on the official website of the event. On October 2, the final meeting with investors will take place and the winner will be announced.

With the memories of one of the largest exhibitions in Asia, the G2E Macao, still fresh in our minds, we are going to visit this beautiful part of the continent again. 

From July 12 to 14, Manila, the capital of the Philippines, will host the first but already promising Phil-Asian Gaming Expo (PAGE 2019).

PAGE Philippines: How it will be

The exhibition is sponsored by the Philippine Entertainment and Games Corporation (PAGCOR), which is a government and regulatory agency under the President of the Philippines, as well as currently the third-largest source of revenue after the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Customs Administration.

PAGE 2019 will be located on 2 floors of the SMX Manila exhibition complex and will take up an area of more than 15,000 m. sq. More than 100 companies from various gambling sectors will present their products and services at the stands. In addition, the exhibition dedicates a special area for companies that offer gambling-related products and services, such as banking services, recruitment companies, and others.

The organizers decided to abandon the typical conference format and opted for the so-called “Inspiring Talk” version instead. Every day between 2 pm and 5 pm, the main stage of the exhibition pavilion will welcome representatives of the gaming industry with their 20-minute presentations. The format of this event is to share knowledge and technologies of the industry, launch new products, and discuss ideas.

The organizers of PAGE 2019 plan to turn this event into the main platform of the Asian market for the B2B segment of the gambling industry. And given the rapid growth and development of the gaming market in the Philippines and throughout Asia, their plans have every chance of becoming reality.

Therefore, the Imperium-Games team is proud to be a participant in this long-awaited event, so everyone can meet our representatives there and learn about our products and services. To book a meeting with us, simply write to us at sales@imperium-games.net
