What Are the Gambling Trends to Follow in 2020?
With fast evolving technology, it’s often “follow the pace or die” in all industries around the world. Such is the case in Europe’s gaming industry where new trends are being created every year and companies that don’t adapt disappear rapidly. What will be those trends in 2020? Here is a brief recap.
Live Dealers and Brand New Exclusive Games
Just like on http://www.betiton.com, the industry is seeing an increase of live dealers for card games as well as roulette and crap tables. Why? It is a way to increase players’ trust in the online casino process, since many persons do not believe in random number generators. Is it working? Very well indeed! Ever since they have adopted them, the live dealers have brought in a brand new clientele to online casinos. It certainly seems that seeing a real person place a card on a table, turn the roulette and throw dices is convincing enough to reassure the users!
As to what exclusive games bring to gaming online, we only have to look at other industries to understand that exclusive perks is a trend in most of them, from clothing to entertainment. Sometimes, these games have a particular design, add prize pools or even feature well know personalities from the music or cinema industries. No doubt that these 2 trends will continue in 2020.
A Safer Environment with Responsible Gaming
These days, it is very uncommon to discover scam casinos online. This is partly due to an increase of awareness into responsible gaming, which the major actors from the industry have been pushing forward for a few years now, but also because of new technologies such as “Fair Go Casino” Login, protecting the players. It should also be noted that new online casino reviews websites have shown-up on the Internet, bringing e-reputation in this industry to the same level as others before them. Here are a few of the novelties which make online casinos safer for its users:
- Two-factor authentication and advanced login, which include facial recognition
- The possibility of faster withdrawals
- The KYC Processes (Known Your Customer)
- Legal compliance
Increase in Mobile Gaming
Today, all good companies have an app to go along with their website. This revolution is also taking place in the online gaming industry in Europe. The real challenge in this case, is to be able to adapt the visual elements of the games to much smaller screens while still being able to keep the thrill that comes with playing. Let’s bet that they will find a solution to that one quite rapidly…

Evoplay rolls out Season of Legends campaign with €512,000 spring prize pool
Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.
The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.
A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.
Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.
Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.
“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”

3 Oaks Gaming adds Flexible Free Spins to its promo tools
3 Oaks Gaming has added a new bonus mechanic, Flexible Free Spins, to its promotional tools offering, the company said.
The feature allocates free spins based on a total value rather than a fixed number of spins at a set stake. Players can then select how to use the award from up to 20 options, choosing between different combinations of bet size and spin count while staying within the same budget.
3 Oaks Gaming said each option is mathematically pre-calculated to remain within the defined value. When the award is issued, players see a modal pop-up with the available choices, with the default selection set to the median option.
Anna Nozdran, Acting Product Owner at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Flexible Free Spins deliver a fresh take on the traditional bonus setup within an online slot, providing players with greater control over their gameplay experience that suits their preferences.
“Every option is pre-calculated within the same budget, ensuring consistency for operators while offering a more dynamic experience for players. We firmly believe this new addition will complement the existing 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio and deliver greater value for our partners.”
