Attracting Slots Players to Live Casino Games

[Lagius]

One of the trends is the development of news games & side bets to enable casinos to cross-sell live casino games to Slot players or players that are nervous of playing live games.

Evolution for example have just released a Live Lucky Wheel, much like the ones you see in land-based casinos, with multipliers to give 1000x bet payouts.

Authentic Gaming are releasing a side bet for Roulette called Lucky Ball that will pay 100x your stake.

I'm interested to know whether these sorts of games would attract you to try live casino. If not, what would (if you know a live game that's not available that gives you the same kick as slots then name it), otherwise what sort of feture added to an existing game would.

Or are the developers just barking up the wrong tree?

There'll always be the two or three types of gamblers, I don't think merging games is going to appeal to anyone, especially slot players. Live games are more social and interactive, and slots cater to those who want a quiet wind-down to their day.

With say Roulette, the potential winnings are capped and often in the sub- 10x range, so hypothetically speaking even a Live Lucky Wheel with 1000x wins isn't going to make me switch to live games in the long run.

Best to leave slots in their current format and offer punters a seamless experience in each category than try to invent Roulette Slots Poker and palm it off as a great idea.
