Stakelogic classic slots primed to lead the pack in regulated Dutch online market

The leading guide to online casinos in the Netherlands, Online Casino Ground, has released research that hints at traditional slot gaming being the continued go-to for Dutch players – at least initially – when the newly regulated online market finally opens for business in October.

The much-anticipated regulation of the Dutch online sector is set to mark a flurry of activity as the industry makes the most of one of the few remaining new jurisdictions in Europe and getting the inside track on the players there is among most stakeholder’s priorities.

The team at Online Casino Ground has drilled down to uncover exactly where Dutch player loyalties lie and how it expects to change post-launch. With the market in the Netherlands being largely land-based its players have grown accustomed to the physical slots that have populated the country’s casinos and gambling halls.

Since domestic developer Stakelogic began creating digital versions of popular land-based slots, it enjoys three of its titles in the top 15 of those most popular with Dutch players in the global market, and the top three of all slots played by Dutch players.

The research goes on to show that these same players eventually move onto the more contemporary titles from other studios, once in the online environment, hinting at diversity in content proving pivotal in ongoing behaviour trends.

Two of the top three in the six most popular slot developers in the Netherlands have their roots firmly in bricks and mortar, a reflection of current traditional preferences, but the rest of the positions are populated by online leaders such as NetEnt, Play ‘n Go, Microgaming and BTG.

The analysis breaks down the prospects of over a dozen of the main expected players in the fledgling market and considers what the future holds for trends within Dutch players.

Online Casino Ground commented: “Our findings have been fascinating. While it’s no secret that the preference for many Dutch players leans toward the traditional, it’s interesting to see how those tastes appear to change once exposed to the same kind of variety found in global regulated markets.

“There will always be a place for the classic slot, but how much and for how long will be interesting to see, once the new market finds its feet, players get used to the new games available to them and developers start to adapt.”

The Spanish Association of Gaming and Recreational Hall Entrepreneurs (ANESAR) has held its 43rd Ordinary General Assembly this Tuesday, November 4, in the Carlos Ferret Salat room of CEOE, in Madrid, where it once again brought together a large representation of members, in a meeting marked by reflection, collaboration and the firm will to continue working with data, arguments and responsibility.

Following the institutional opening by Javier Calderón, Director of Companies and Organisations of CEOE, aspects of mandatory statutory compliance were addressed, such as the approval of minutes, the explanation and approval of accounts and budgets, or the approval of the Annual Report of Activities.

Next, José Vall presented the president’s report, in which he emphasised that, although political decisions are often difficult to understand, “our duty is to continue providing arguments and evidence to defend the sector with rigor, knowledge, and sound judgment.” In this regard, he stressed the need to anticipate events, prepare information and coordinate common messages that reinforce the image of a sector committed to legality, prevention and responsible gaming.

For his part, Juan Lacarra, technical general secretary of ANESAR, reviewed the main current issues from a regulatory and operational perspective, addressing relevant aspects such as sanctioning procedures, opening hours, biometrics and hiring difficulties.

During the Assembly, the “Key Data and Sector Dynamics” were also presented, highlighting that there are currently 3600 gaming arcades (more than 240 have closed in the last four years) and 30,060 slot machines. It was also specified that the average spend per visit is €16, that 85% of people are accompanied by family and friends, and that 60% are men around 30 years old. Regarding employment data, it was explained that the sector supports more than 47,000 jobs, including both direct and indirect workers, making it a significant driver of employment. The ANESAR Training Plan was also emphasised, with 8725 students and 16,539 formal enrollments (data as of October 15, 2025). Furthermore, it was noted that, with a real estate investment of €260 million, gaming arcades represent one of the largest private investments in the leisure sector. A sector that, as was recalled, collects more than 320 million euros in taxes annually, which benefit hundreds of thousands of people, as well as society as a whole.

The Assembly also included the participation of experts in politics and institutional relations, such as Jaime Criado, from the firm ACENTO, who provided insights into the current political situation and its potential impact on the sector. ANESAR Vice Presidents Enric Sanahuja, Raúl Rubio and Antonio Fornés also offered their perspectives on current issues affecting the sector. Finally, Ramón Cubián, Director General of Land and Delegate for Gaming Regulation and Management of the Community of Madrid, accompanied by Gracia Martín Duarte, Deputy Director of Gaming Management and Regulation, and their team, officially closed the 43rd ANESAR Assembly.
