It doesn’t matter if you are new to casinos or you’re a long-time casino player. Slots are always in the heart of every land-based and online casino. They provide various themes and ways for players to get some winnings and thrill along the way potentially. You can find classic, adventure, pop culture, and many other themes incorporated by software providers like Play’n GO and other giants in the industry. For example, online casinos like Betinia provide not only a selection of slots but also other choices. You can find yourself in Betinia betting in their beautiful live casino section here: https://betinia.com/en/live. Experiencing such a professionally done live casino is another level of gambling players are not ready for.

In this brief article, we’ll simply show you our favourite slots that you can play right now in your casino of choice.

Starburst

This is no surprise for anyone that this list starts with Starburst. This slot is one of the most popular slots in general, and that is no coincidence. The game was created by NetEnt, and it has five reels, 20 paylines, and an RTP of 96.10%.

It has low variance, which is why players love it alongside its breathtaking graphics and layout.

While slots like Starburst might not be the same as betting in live casinos with the real-life dealers and anticipation, there is still plenty of thrill behind the turning reels.

Starburst is more or less a classic modern slot with a top bonus feature of Expanding Wilds. This feature can give multiple payouts, Free re-spins, and plenty of winning combos sent your way.

Legacy of Egypt

This Play’n Go online casino phenomenon is another slot we would like to highly stress on right now. It’s based in Ancient Egypt with five reels, 30 paylines, and lots of cool-looking symbols like pharaohs, pyramids, scarabs, and more.

The music of the game adds up to the hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The slot also has a brilliant bonus feature that can be retriggered by two or more pyramid symbols on any of your bonus spins. The feature grants you Free Spins and a sweet multiplier.

With features like this, long-time casino players reminisce on times where slots were only a 3-reel old machine in the good old land-based casino. No bonus features, no modern touch whatsoever. With time, the mechanics of casino slots started upgrading, and now they are achieving some awe-inspiring levels.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk is another classic among the masterpieces that NetEnt creates on a daily basis.

This video slot has five reels, 20 paylines, an RTP of 96.30%, and many features like Scatters, Free Spins, Walking Wilds, Expanding Wilds, and a fun bonus game. The 3D graphics and immersive world of this take on the classic tale keep players coming in.

The slot has the whole package of what players love and need for online slots in general: a modern layout, lots of bonus features, and endless amounts of fun.

And with that, we round up our small collection of suggested online slots for you. We hope you enjoy them and hopefully get some winnings on your way.

SOFTSWISS Survey Q3’24: 58% Cite Crypto as Key Driver in New Markets

Published

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

SOFTSWISS, a tech company and pioneer in crypto gaming with over 15 years of experience, conducted a survey revealing that the majority view crypto as a key driver for growth in new markets. Experts also  analysed this year’s crypto bets to share the latest insights.

Bitcoin recently reached a historic high, getting closer to 90,000 euro per coin. However, during the third quarter of 2024, it faced its sharpest drop in several years. SOFTSWISS experts examine how these market shifts have influenced iGaming performance in the quarterly ‘State of Crypto’ analytics.

A Quarter of the World’s Population Engages in iGaming 

Global iGaming statistics indicate that approximately 26% of the world’s population were ever engaged in iGaming. By 2028, the iGaming market is projected to reach 243.2 million users, with a market volume nearing 130 billion euro, a substantial portion of which is expected to involve cryptocurrency. 

SOFTSWISS data shows that during the 9 months of 2024, the Total Bet Sum, including both fiat and crypto, increased by 43.1% compared to the same period of 2023. Simultaneously, the Total Bet Count showed even more impressive growth, surpassing 44.5%.

An in-depth comparison analysis since 2022 demonstrates fiat bets are rising much more rapidly than crypto. A comparison between the first nine months of 2024 and the same period of the previous year revealed that the Fiat Bet Sum achieved a 50.4% boost. The conservative approach toward payment methods has resulted in Crypto Bet Sum growing at a slower pace compared to fiat and has led to a modest 4-percentage-points (p.p.) decline in the crypto share in 2024.

Potential of Crypto in iGaming 2025

According to the SOFTSWISS iGaming Trends 2025 Report, cryptocurrency is set to remain one of the preferred payment methods within the sector. Based on the company’s survey, 58% of respondents identified crypto as the primary driver of growth in new markets, underscoring its essential role in shaping the industry’s future.

Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operating Officer at SOFTSWISS, reflects on the possibilities of crypto: “Integrating crypto payments allows iGaming businesses to operate globally, delivering greater speed and convenience. With iGaming’s naturally borderless reach, this expands platforms’ access to a wider international audience, boosting their global growth potential.”

“What is more, crypto transaction fees can be almost three times lower compared to traditional fiat gateways, allowing iGaming businesses to save on processing costs and reinvest that capital”, adds Max Krupyshev, CEO of CryptoProcessing by CoinsPaid.

SOFTSWISS data confirms stable interest in crypto. In the first nine months of 2024, the Crypto Bet Sum increased by 15.2% compared to the same period the previous year. A long-term quarter-by-quarter analysis reveals a consistent growth pattern, though the third quarter of 2024 saw a 9 p.p. decline from the previous quarter. The drop aligns with the decline in the exchange rates of major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, which occurred in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, the Crypto Bet Count rose by 16.2% in Q3 2024, indicating stable interest in crypto gaming. This combination reveals that while engagement in crypto betting remains steady, the total wagered sum is closely correlated to fluctuations in cryptocurrency exchange rates.

Altcoins Share Growth

The top five most popular cryptos in iGaming have remained stable over the years, with some shifts in the ranking order. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, and Dogecoin are the most popular among crypto players. While altcoins accounted for only 25.1% of bets over the first nine months of last year, their share increased significantly to over 47% during the same period in 2024.

 

Bitcoin’s share dropped by 22 p.p. during the nine months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. At the same time, Tether and Litecoin saw the most impressive share growth, with over 8 p.p. and 7.8 p.p., respectively. Ethereum strengthened by 4.9 p.p.

Another impactful trend reveals some casinos, like Rollbit and Shuffle, utilise their own iGaming tokens to boost player engagement. Tokens designed specifically for gaming offer enhanced compatibility across platforms, lower volatility, and exclusive perks for users. Crypto drives the development of new payment methods and business growth.

Vitali Matsukevich summarises: “Crypto offers iGaming operators key advantages beyond lower costs and global reach. Blockchain enhances safety and fairness through transparency and traceability, with each transaction and game result permanently recorded and tamper-proof. Partnering with trusted crypto experts allows operators to harness these benefits, positioning themselves for growth and effectively navigating market shifts.”
