Discussion with Arise's Anastasios Ioannidis on iGaming Industry Insights
Interview with Anastasios Ioannidis, Affiliate Manager at ARRISE
Hey there, we've got a juicy chat with Anastasios Ioannidis, the Affiliate Manager at ARRISE. He's gonna spill the beans on working with affiliates, Pragmatic Play's games, and the future of ARRISE. Buckle up!
The Gamblest: Thanks for joining us, Anastasios! Let's dive right in. What's the best part about working with affiliates?
Anastasios: Man, affiliates are the fucking bomb! They're super knowledgeable dudes who dig what they do. They're either players themselves or love the products we offer. As Pragmatic Play cooks up dope shit for online casinos, affiliates help spread the word to players. That's what makes my job rock: collab'n with affiliates to make sure players get all the lowdown they need to make smart choices.
The Gamblest: Pragmatic Play's game selection is sick! What makes its games stand out in a crowded iGaming market?
Anastasios: It's simple, buddy: it's all about the player. If the games are fun and rewarding, players will feel it. With thousands of slots and lives games out there, grabbing attention and keeping it is key. That's where Pragmatic Play shines, known for consistently delivering high-quality new experiences to players that they can't resist.
The Gamblest: With player preferences constantly changing, how does Pragmatic Play keep its portfolio fresh and appealing to different types of players?
Anastasios: We've got something for everyone on our portfolio, from classic slots to live games. Our slots repertoire with all the popular mechanics and themes, like Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, and the Big Bass and The Dog House collections, is tough to beat. And new games debut at a rate of around nine a fucking month!
For live casino, original game shows like Fortune Roulette, Mega Roulette, and Sweet Bonanza CandyLand deliver unique experiences, while games like Bet Behind Pro Blackjack add a twist to traditional live games with bots filling the seats.
The Gamblest: Pragmatic Play's reputation for high-quality games is well-deserved. What game mechanics or themes have been most successful in luring and retaining players?
Anastasios: We got clusters, expanding wilds, Megaways, Hold & Spin, increasing wilds, increasing multipliers, Powernudge, and mystery symbols, both in the reels and during bonus rounds. We cover all major themes, from sweets, dogs, and Greek gods to newer additions. Our "1000" series, like Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, and Sugar Rush takes classic games and adds special editions with enhanced win potential and new 1,000x max multipliers.
The Gamblest: What's on the horizon that affiliates should be amped for promoting?
Anastasios: Keep your eyes peeled for Gates of Hades and Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter—two epic slots headed our way. On the live casino side, get ready for the new game show Money Time.
