Generation Slot
ABC to XYZ. The emphasis being on the latter 3 letters. The vast majority of players today fall under being Generation X, Generation Y or Generation Z. Many of people’s choices are based on the generation they are from. This includes the kind of food they eat, the hobbies they have and the car they drive. Of course, it also involves their entertainment preferences, too.
The folks of Generation X were born between 1965 and 1980. They think about balancing work life and personal life. They like their personal computer. The people of Generation Y (a.k.a. Millennials) were born from 1981 to 1995. They enjoy freedom and flexibility. They use a tablet or a smartphone. At the end of the alphabet, the Gen Z group were born in 1996. They are the blossoming newcomers to the gaming industry. They value security and stability. They go big on nano computing.
Now that the categories have been briefly defined, it’s time to slot each of the generations into their respective um, slots… slot themes, that is (pun slightly intended).
Firstly, it’s worth noting that slot providers have a pretty good understanding of the type of player they want to attract when a new slot is still on the drawing board. As well as a player’s geographical location, they also take into account the generation they are from.
Gen X: They like games of fairies, fantasy, magic and lashings of colorful escapism. If you’re X, you’ll probably like games with a high RTP and enjoy epic armchair adventures. Ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Western themes are popular. Book of Egypt and Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist are some examples.
Gen Y: Many of those video game crossover games are popular. Zombie and nightmarish games. Halloween’s a real thrill time! Book of Madness, Penalty Shoot Out and anything action-packed, preferably packed with features (games within games), are often a magnet.
Gen Z: This can be a varied selection of the aforementioned slot themes, but Gen Z will surely define a new road into “Slotsville”, as slot providers work tirelessly to create something innovative and impactful. This is very much a question of “watch this space”. Casinoin will be there!
For sure, during the festive season, everyone likes Santa and New Year slots! Try today!
