How to survive a crisis? Slotegrator’s tips on business continuity and disaster recovery
In pursuit of online casino success, operators do their best to provide players with the most interesting products and services, promote their business, analyze the revenue, grow traffic, and implement many other business development methods. Operators create marketing and plans to follow. However there is another important plan we often ignore — business continuity plan.
The iGaming business is vulnerable: it’s usually a large-scale venture, the risks are huge, and the number of potential threats is high. Starting from legal risks if the regulation changes or the market closes, to the cyber attack risks due to lack of security measures. Almost anything can go wrong and ruin a business that was built for years and took a lot of investment.
Slotegrator released a downloadable material describing what can potentially go wrong and how to make your business ready for it. Having a plan is crucial in this matter because improvising when an emergency occurs is a bad idea. What will you do if your regulator bans all forms of gambling advertising? Who will be responsible if the platform fails and the online casino stops functioning properly? How will you analyze the huge amount of data from your platform to detect a mistake? There must be a specific and very detailed plan of actions. Every minute of not accepting payments or not registering new players is an enormous loss for a casino operator, that’s why it’s so important to have your business continuously working without interruptions.
Some problems that may look less serious can cause big difficulties for businesses as well. For instance, Slotegrator talked to William Sarto, PR & Marketing Specialist at CasinoRIX, and got a few tips to help safeguard business during Google’s regular updates. Sarto points out several key advice: “Don’t rely on just one GEO; make sure you’re running projects across multiple countries. Don’t stick to just one vertical. For example, run projects in both the casino and betting sectors. This way, if one gets hit, you’ll have others to offset the impact.
Use a variety of strategies to promote your projects. If one takes a hit, others can grow or stay steady, giving you time to bounce back. Don’t rely solely on SEO for traffic—explore other channels to diversify your sources.”
Having said that, business continuity solution includes two main strategies. The first is to try to prevent the crisis and make your business less vulnerable to external events, and the second is a plan of actions to deal with a crisis and return to normal operation after it passes.
“We all know that being aware of potential risks is already a first step in preventing them. Problems that business face are various, especially in the iGaming industry, but knowing what can happen, learning from experiences gained before, and having a recovery plan can save many starting companies,” says Svetlana Kirichenko, Head of Marketing at Slotegrator.

Record Progressive Jackpot at Over $2 Million and Climbing Up for Grabs at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood
A record progressive jackpot of more than $2 million continues to climb on a $1 million Dragon Link slot machine by Aristocrat Gaming. The huge jackpot is up for grabs at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
The $1 denomination Dragon Link slot is a single-site progressive (SSP) and is located in the high-limit slots area of the Hollywood casino, famous through the world for its iconic Guitar Hotel. The slot machine’s progressive jackpot increases independently from other Dragon Link slots at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood and elsewhere.
The jackpot is climbing by an average of $7,000 per day and is on track to become one of the largest slot machine payouts in Seminole Gaming history and the largest Dragon Link jackpot ever awarded. Players at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood have a chance to be a part of jackpot history.
“It’s exciting to witness the Dragon Link jackpot grow to an unprecedented amount. The game has been a favorite since its release, and with this amazing prize now up for grabs, our players have the potential for a huge win,” said David Hoenemeyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seminole Gaming.
“We are incredibly proud of the fanfare Dragon Link has amassed over the years, and this historic milestone reinforces player excitement for the brand. The Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood team have been incredible partners and huge supporters of our $1 million Dragon Link offering. We can’t wait to be a part of the celebration of this record-breaking jackpot,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer for Aristocrat Gaming.
Since its debut at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in June 2021, Dragon Link has consistently drawn in players with its exciting high-denomination offering, which includes a $25 minimum bet and a $2,500 max bet. The casino-resort was the first in the world to feature the $1 million Dragon Link progressive, and today, it remains one of the most popular high-limit slot games available.
The impact of Dragon Link on the gaming landscape has been immense, cementing its status as a player favorite. While Aristocrat Gaming continues to push boundaries with innovative offerings, the latest jackpot at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood represents a new milestone in gaming entertainment.
