Online and mobile slots study contradicts stereotypes

Are slots players all a bunch of little old ladies that only bet a penny at a time? How loyal are they to a favourite machine? Do players like slots just because they're easy to play? Or are big jackpots what make online slots so popular?  Slotland.com’s in-house survey of online and mobile slot machine players has now concluded and the results confirm some assumptions and contradict some stereotypes.

The survey conducted through the summer and fall shows that not all slots players are of the older generation and they’re not all women.  Most online and mobile slots players aren’t particularly high rollers, preferring to deposit small amounts and play it as long as they can.  They want – and get -- many hours of entertainment for their gambling dollars.  However, they play the game more strategically than many might think and aren’t afraid to place maximum bets when the time is right.

Survey responses also show:

* Two-thirds like slots because they're easy to play but the other third is primarily drawn to the possibility of winning big jackpots on small wagers.

* Most play only on their computer but 20 percent said they had at least tried the mobile games.

* Although most don't play on their phone or PDA much or ever, most acknowledged the convenience of mobile games.

* Nearly all play exclusively or mostly at home, not at work.

* Although most don't wager large amounts - 78 percent said they'd never bet more than $100 - more than half said they'd had wins over $1000.

* 84 percent feel that the way to win at slots is to stick with a machine that feels lucky.

* A third play video poker as well as slots.

* Half have at least tried online poker but only a few play online poker often.

* All place max bets when they feel the time is right, while a third always bet the maximum.

* Only a third have visited Vegas.

* Many only play online but most (60 percent) also play slots in land casinos.

* Slots are not a ladies-only game at all - half of respondents were men.

* Most slot players are middle-aged and older but some 16 percent are under 30.

New 3D Online Casino Launched

Wednesday, January 16, 2008 mgowanbo.cc

WinADay.com games are based on the latest instant-play, no-download Flash technology

The well established online gambling company Slotland.com has extended its proprietary gaming software to launch a new Internet casino with the latest 3D graphics and Flash technologies powering unique games.

Still in the "soft launch" phase, play at the new WinADay.com venue is currently free, although a switch to real money operations is envisaged in the near future.

The new venture features virtual casino employees, realistic lobbies and two unique free games which will be augmented by a wide variety of other offerings as these become available over coming weeks.

All games are based on the latest instant-play, no-download Flash technology that allows designers to incorporate the rich media content that today’s online game players demand. These are presented through crisp graphics, detailed animations, cool sound effects and background music.

“The 3D environment may appear a little disorienting at first if you’re used to traditional online casino games,” said WinADay.com manager Martin Smith.  “But our virtual casino hosts - 3D avatars circulating throughout the casino - are always nearby ready to provide information and point you in the right direction.”

All the games are original, built using proprietary software, and only available at the website.  The first two free games now available are a 3 reel 8 pay-line slot machine branded “Wheeler Dealer” and the “Jack’s Show” video poker game based on the popular Jacks or Better video poker genre.
