— Tell us a little about the project. How and when did Slott Casino start?
— Slott was introduced to the audience in early 2024. At the start, our team, having many years of experience in the iGaming industry, set a goal-to create not just a casino, but a unique gaming platform with an emphasis on social interaction, community development and a system of regular rewards for achievements in the game. Slott’s mission is to take a radically different approach to online entertainment, making the product an exciting and secure environment with transparent deposit and withdrawal methods. Our mascot symbolizes friendliness and honesty, and these characteristics perfectly describe our values.
— What audience are you targeting?
— We focus on an audience that is open to new technologies and is not afraid of innovation; they value a personal approach and continuous involvement in the game. The main markets are TIR1 and TIR2.
— Slott operates under a Curacao license. Why choose this particular jurisdiction?
— The main reasons for choosing the Curacao license are international recognition, which allows us to legally provide services to a wider audience, as well as universality, as the document covers various types of gambling, including sports betting and online casinos. In addition, this license requires compliance with certain standards and regulations, which contributes to creating trust among players.
— What requirements must the operator meet in order to obtain a license?
— To get a license, an online casino must be registered in Curacao and have a transparent KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti-money Laundering) policy. The operator must also ensure a high level of security for its platform, including player data protection and data encryption. The online casino must use licensed and certified gaming software. A number of requirements are not uploaded at this stage, but these are some of the most important ones.
— What myths about casinos and gambling annoy you?
— Many people believe that casinos always deceive their customers. In reality, licensed casinos are always strictly regulated and undergo regular inspections, and violation of the rules can lead to the loss of the license.
Another common myth: «games are programmed so that customers lose all the time.» Some people believe that the operator can control the winning combinations, but in fact, in licensed casinos, games are based on random elements and RNG algorithms that cannot be predicted or manipulated.
— Do you use artificial intelligence in your work? For example, there are services for personalization of the lobby, etc.
— In our field, it is very important to be ready for any changes and innovations, so the use of AI has become one of our priorities. Now we actively use AI tools for analyzing user behavior and activity in order to provide the client with as personalized offers as possible.
— Now the casino offers a welcome package, cashback, bonus for installing the mobile app and temporary promotions. Are you planning to expand your promo program?— We plan to develop Slott as a gamified platform with active involvement of mascot. We will focus on regular challenges and personal achievements of players to provide a completely new gaming experience.
— Which bonuses are most in demand among players?
— The most popular ones are deposit bonuses and free spins.
— What do players need to know before activating the bonus?
— Before taking part in any of the promotions provided by the online casino, the user must read the instructions or conditions for the bonus to be successfully credited to the user’s account.
— Is it possible to single out one thing that attracts a new audience?
— It is quite difficult to single out one thing. The new audience is attracted by a combination of factors: the range of casino games, a wide range of sports and, of course, a large selection of bonuses that will meet their needs. These aspects can also be attributed to the novelty — there is a modern design, and the technology of the platform (its capabilities), as well as convenient methods of contributions and withdrawal of funds.
— The site hosts tournaments organized jointly with slot providers. Can you tell us a little bit about the behind-the-scenes nature of such promotions?
— Tournaments make the game more attractive for those who like to compete with other users and win additional cash prizes and / or free spins in their favorite slots. Representatives of online casinos together with providers choose the slots that will participate in the tournament. Mostly popular games with attractive features are selected. The rules and structure of the tournament are also determined by both parties: they may include the conditions for winning, the distribution of prizes, and the duration of the tournament. Slot providers provide technical support for the integration and proper functioning of games, and a system is set up on the online casino side to track tournament results in real time so that players can see their positions in the ranking.
— What are the top 3 most popular slots among players?
— Why do you think they are in demand?
— These games are historically verified and marked as favorites since their release. Each of these slots has an attractive theme and graphics; user-friendly gameplay makes them accessible to users with different levels of experience, and bonus features add depth to the machines and attract them by allowing them to win at no extra cost.
— Gaming Americas reports that if you select 10 popular casino games, more than half will be crash games. Is this really the case?
— Yes, indeed. If you look at some markets, crash games have revolutionized iGaming since their release and have firmly taken the first place in terms of gambling popularity.
— What is the phenomenon of crash games?— These games offer a new, dynamic approach, different from the classic slots. They stand out for their simple rules, fast gameplay, and the potential for big wins. In crash games, users can control the game themselves, while having a chance to hit the jackpot in a short period of time.
— You offer payment using credit cards, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies. Which payment instruments do players prefer more in 2024?
— Card payments are still the most popular payment method, despite the fact that the speed of crediting funds from banking systems leaves much to be desired. Those who need to receive funds as soon as possible choose cryptocurrencies.
— The principles of responsible play are perceived as something lowered «from above». Do you think that if the commission did not put forward such requirements, the operators themselves would implement self-restriction functions?
— All online casinos that care about their reputation and trust from users implement self-restriction functions not only to meet the requirements, but also to show their concern for the client. In this case, it is important to minimize all risks associated with gambling problems. Operators should talk more about the importance of safety and responsibility in relation to gambling, thereby protecting customers from negative consequences.
