Popular games, VR in esports, top technologies, and prominent markets: Slotegrator presents a report on iGaming trends in 2024

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

In the iGaming world, it’s essential to predict industry trends. Each year, Slotegrator, one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators, traditionally shares its vision of trends with its audience. This year, Slotegrator released a new report on iGaming trends in 2024 to help gambling operators and B2B service providers strategize for the next year.

 

The new report is based on the company’s survey of online casino operators and gaming content developers, some of whom preferred to stay confidential, and some of whom shared their comments with Slotegrator to create useful material. Among them are Caleta Gaming, Macaw Gaming, SKILROCK, Turbo Games, Amigo Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, Gamzix, etc.

 

The report covers all the major iGaming trends of 2024 and predictions about future gambling market developments.

 

To look at them in detail, let’s break them down into several blocks:

  • What games will be popular?

Today’s players (especially younger ones) look for formats with rapid-fire gameplay and interesting mechanics, so game developers will continue to create new crash games and increase the number of these games in their portfolio.

 

According to Slotegrator’s report, there are two key insights:

 

  1. The demand for crash games is growing among players 25-34 years old.
  2. 75% of game developers surveyed either currently offer crash games or are planning to do so in the future.
  • Will the popularity of sports betting rise?
    According to Statista, the online sports betting market is expected to reach $43.55 billion in 2023 and show an annual growth rate of 9.94%, reaching $63.62 billion by 2027. It’s been estimated that 35.4% of people placed a bet at least once a year worldwide.

 

  • VR integration in esports.

VR is increasingly penetrating into all spheres, including esports. The immersive experience that VR creates allows players to become not just spectators but active participants, dropping them right in the middle of the action.

With VR tech making esports more and more exciting, you can safely assume that the esports betting market will continue to grow. The esports betting market revenue is projected to reach $2.1 billion in 2023. The market is estimated to show an annual growth rate of 10.45% and reach $3.2 billion by 2027.

  • What technologies will be on top?

Online casinos continue to use AI to enhance security, personalize player experiences, and promote responsible gaming. AI also provides market insights, SEO improvement, and affiliate traffic analysis. Game and software providers already use AI in their products and solutions.

 

Another one is the blockchain technology trend. It has produced a range of tools and mechanics that are growing in popularity, facilitating operators’ work, and making a huge impact on the iGaming industry. One of the most widespread and commonly used applications of blockchain, cryptocurrency, has become a fixture in the iGaming landscape. A quarter of our clients, online casino operators, say that up to 40%
of their players use cryptocurrency; another quarter says this number reaches 80 to 100%.

 

  • What about the gambling markets with the most potential?

According to Slotegrator’s report, most of the company’s partner providers responded that they already operate in or are planning to expand into Latin America (and its top markets Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and Peru), Asia (India, Georgia, Turkey), and regulated African markets (like Kenya and Nigeria). 73% of respondents already operate in Latin America or are planning to expand there in the near future. A similar indicator applies to the Asian market.

 

Some additional key findings:

 

  • Responsible gaming is essential for the future of the online gaming industry. Young players are concerned about the quality of their gaming experience. Responsible gaming is more than a buzzword, and developed, regulated jurisdictions are fostering growth in this direction.
  • According to 75% of respondents among Slotegrator partners, adding new types of games helps to attract new players. This process is much quicker in cooperation with gaming content aggregators.
  • Every casino needs an effective bonus policy, which is more of a mainstay than a trend. Bonuses have always been the number one way to acquire and retain players, and this won’t change in 2024.
  • Mobile-first gameplay has gone from trend to standard, and in the near future will only solidify its position on top. Convenient, portable, and affordable, mobile devices are increasingly players’ first choice — and often the only one, in areas where laptops are expensive and broadband unavailable.

 

“This report will be useful for beginning operators doing research before launching their first project, platform operators planning to expand into new markets or add new offers to their established online casinos, B2B service providers working on their business development strategy, and gambling community members who want to stay on top of current trends”, emphasizes Ayvar Gabidullin, business development manager at Slotegrator.

Turn $95 into a shot at the $500,000 guaranteed Enjoy Poker Tour Main Event

ACR Poker’s popular Punta del Este Satellites return this month, offering players an incredible opportunity to win a dream poker vacation to the sun-soaked shores of Uruguay for the Enjoy Poker Tour in May.

“Our Punta del Este Satellites are always a hit, offering players a shot at the $500,000 GTD Enjoy Poker Tour Main Event in Uruguay,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With ACR Poker guaranteeing another round of packages, this is the perfect chance for players to turn a small buy-in, or even a free entry, into an unforgettable poker adventure. I can’t wait to see who wins their way there.”

The Punta del Este Satellites are guaranteeing 16 exclusive packages, worth $88,000 total, during ACR Poker’s Beast Tournament. Satellites take place on Sunday, March 9th and 16th at 5:05pm ET, with eight guaranteed packages up for grabs in each. Players can secure their seat for $95 or qualify for free by ranking on the Beast weekly leaderboard.

Each package is valued at $5,500 and includes a $1,650 ticket to the $500,000 GTD Main Event, 10-nights luxury accommodation at the stunning Punta del Este Resort and Casino from May 2nd to 12th, airfare, spending money, and more. With premium poker action, pristine beaches, and top-tier amenities, it’s the perfect mix of competition and relaxation.

From epic battles to career-defining moments, ACR Pros have long been at the heart of the action at the Enjoy Poker Tour in Uruguay. Recent standout performances include ACR Pro Ana Marquez’ victory in the Ladies Event this past February, Chris Moneymaker’s impressive $179,770 win in the $1 million GTD Main Event last August and Jeff Boski’s career-best cash of $154,310 in the $3,300 buy-in High Roller.

ACR Poker has a strong history of sending players to exotic destinations, guaranteeing over 50 packages worth more than $330,000 to Uruguay last year alone. With more guaranteed packages available, players have a golden opportunity to turn a small investment into a poker trip of a lifetime just like online qualifier Daniel Fantoli from Hungary, who won his way to the Enjoy Poker Tour last month.
