Next week’s CasinoBeats Slots Festival will provide another example of the increasing influence of streamers in the igaming industry when Fruity Slots and Jackpot Sam put some of the latest games releases through their paces.

The online Festival on Tuesday 11 May will see developers including BetConstruct, BGaming, Endorphina, Evoplay, Gaming Realms, Kalamba Games, NetGaming, Scientific Games, and WorldMatch showcase new and as yet unreleased titles to an audience of online casino operators from around the world. 

In addition to the opportunity to try out the next generation of hit titles in free-play mode, Slots Festival will look at some of the other parts of the igaming industry ecosystem, including the role of streamers.

There is now a huge audience of players ready to watch streamers they trust playing the latest slots and reviewing them live on YouTube and Twitch, providing operators and developers with a crucial channel for promotion and to learn more about what their customers want from games.

The most popular streamers have emerged as some of the industry’s key influencers, and working closely with them is becoming as important as developing successful partnerships with more traditional affiliates.

Vladimir Malakchi, CCO of Evoplay, recently told SlotBeats.com: “We see plenty of benefits in our work with streamers, not only via promotion of our games but also as a place to communicate with fans and track player experience, as well as getting feedback. The more you’re on top of what your players want, the more you’ll always be ahead.” 

Slots Festival will provide a great illustration of how streaming has become so vital to the success of games when leading proponents Fruity Slots and Jackpot Sam live test a selection of new titles in front of an audience of online casino players.

When not checking out the reaction of the audience to the games being streamed or trying out the wide range of new titles available in free-play at the Festival, attendees can tune into keynotes from prominent figures in the industry and take part in tournaments organised by slots developers.
