What are Slot Machines? How big is the Slot Machines Industry?

Report Overview:

The global slot machines market size was worth around USD 9.5 billion in 2022 and is predicted to grow to around USD 13.4 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 4.35% between 2023 and 2030.

To play a slot machine, a player typically places a coin, token, barcode, or one of several other types of currency in the machine’s designated slot before pulling the machine’s handle or pressing a button to cause the symbols to spin and reveal the possible outcomes. Slot machines are classified as gambling machines. The outcomes of slot machine games are decided by a random number generator, which is a computer programme with its foundation in mathematics. A random set of numbers is selected by the programme, and those numbers determine which symbols are put forward to produce winning or losing results. It is anticipated that the growing number of casinos around the world would accelerate the growth of the slot machine sector. One of the most important contributors to a casino’s bottom line is its selection of slot machines. These machines provide amusement not just in casinos but also in bars and nightclubs all over the world. The usage of slot machines is subject to government regulation and must be certified in order to meet the requirements of the industry. Japan, the United States of America, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Australia, amongst other countries, are some of the important countries that have the biggest number of slot machines.

Global Slot Machines Market: Growth Factors

During the time period covered by this forecast, market expansion will be driven by the growing number of casinos located all over the world.

It is anticipated that the global market for slot machines will expand as a result of the expanding number of casinos located in various nations throughout the world. The casino industry has seen massive expansion over the course of the last several decades because to the rise of online gambling. Licenced casinos have been given the opportunity to expand into new areas as a result of the ongoing legalisation of activities related to gaming. A third factor that has contributed to the growth of the slot machine industry is the emergence of economies around the world that feature a sizeable number of casinos. According to Casino.org, which is an independent gaming authority, the WinStar World Casino & Resort in Oklahoma, which is located in the United States, was the largest casino in the entire world as of the year 2022. The gambling floor at the casino spans around 600,000 square feet. The Venetian Macao, China, was home to the world’s second-largest casino, which encompassed a total floor space of around 546,000 square feet.

The American Gaming Association projects that there will be 468 commercial casinos operating in the United States by the year 2022. This represents an increase from the previous projection of 466 units in 2021. Nevada (about USD 14,842 million), Pennsylvania (approximately USD 5,343 million), New Jersey (approximately USD 5,211 million), New York (approximately USD 4,228 million), and Michigan (approximately USD 3,258 million), amongst other states, will be some of the important states with the largest gross gaming revenue of casinos in 2022.

As of the year 2022, the European Casino Association (ECA) estimated that there were approximately 900 casinos spread throughout 28 nations in Europe. According to the European Gaming and Betting Association, the casino was the most important online gambling category in terms of revenue in 2022. This segment was responsible for around EUR 14.9 billion gross gaming revenue, which was an increase of approximately 9.56% year-on-year. Additionally, this segment represented approximately 39% of online gambling revenue share in Europe during the same year.

Policies implemented by governments and regulatory bodies within the gaming sector with the intention of restricting market expansion

Numerous nations throughout the world, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Brunei, Cambodia, Singapore, Poland, and India, amongst a great number of others, have either partially or totally outlawed casinos and gambling establishments. Slot machines are ubiquitous throughout a casino’s gaming floor. The gaming industry is regulated in a variety of nations in accordance with their own local laws and agencies. For instance, commercial casinos and gambling are not permitted in India, with the exception of certain regions such as Goa, Sikkim, and Daman. After the Goa, Daman, and Diu Public gaming Act was signed into law in 1976, the state of Goa made the decision to legalise gaming. In addition, according to the rules set forth by the local regulatory organisations in the United Arab Emirates, gambling is expressly prohibited. Participation in any form of gambling activity can result in a hefty fine or a sentence to prison time according to the laws of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In addition, according to the Government of Singapore, gambling is regulated in Singapore through stringent laws and regulations. This is done in order to maintain law and order and to minimise the potential harm that gaming could cause to society. Following the bill’s passage into law by the Singapore parliament in March 2022, the Gambling Control Act 2022 and the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Singapore Act 2022 went into force in the country in September 2022. Both of these pieces of legislation dealt with gambling in some capacity. It is anticipated that these laws will act as a barrier to the expansion of the slot machine sector.

Slot Machines Market: Segmentation Analysis

The market for slot machines around the world may be broken down into four distinct categories: the machine type, the type, the application, and the region.

The global market for slot machines can be broken down into several different groups based on the types of machines available. These divisions include single-coin slot machines, multiple-coin/multiple pay line slot machines, buy-your-pay slot machines, progressive slot machines, multi-game slot machines, video/touch-screen slot machines and other slot machines. Slot machines that accept numerous coins and have several pay lines currently have a dominant position on the global market. This is due to the fact that these machines have a greater potential for winning and produce more satisfying outcomes. IGT and Aristocrat are two of the most prominent names in the industry when it comes to the production of slot machines with numerous coins and several pay lines.

The slot machine industry can be broken down into two categories, digital and mechanical, depending on the games offered. In 2022, the digital sector held the lion’s share of the market share. Digital slot machines are gradually taking the place of traditional mechanical slot machines with reels that may be spun. In comparison to the traditional mechanical slot machines, modern digital slot machines are more appealing and catch the eye.

Casino applications make up one section of the worldwide market, while other applications make up the other segment. At the moment, the casino sector leads the pack in terms of revenue generated by slot machines. One of the most important aspects of a casino’s business that contributes to the vast majority of its revenue is the video slot machines. Casinos are more popular in countries where gaming laws are less stringent. The United States of America, Japan, and a few more nations are included in this group. It is anticipated that the steadily increasing per capita income in these countries will further strengthen the sector.

GambleAware calls for health warnings on gambling ads, as major research highlights need for improved safer gambling messaging

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

GambleAware, the leading commissioner of gambling harms prevention and treatment services in Great Britain, has called for enhanced evidence-based health warnings on gambling adverts. The call comes in response to findings published today from an independent research consortium, showing the need for clearer safer gambling messaging that highlights the risks associated with gambling.

The research, based on a survey of over 7,000 people, has called into question the effectiveness of the widely used industry-led slogan ‘Take Time To Think’ (TTTT). The report revealed that the current slogan fails to land the jeopardy of gambling harms or signpost where people can get help.

Alexia Clifford, Chief Communications Officer for GambleAware, said: “Gambling harms are a serious public health issue, and it is vital that people are aware of the risks associated. Today’s landmark study underscores the need to replace the industry-led slogan ‘Take Time To Think’ with more compelling health warnings.

“We’re also concerned about operators’ misuse of the GambleAware logo and the lack of clear signposting to support channels. We urge industry to take heed of the growing body of evidence highlighting the need for better safeguards and restrictions.”

Findings from the study indicate replacing current industry marketing messages with three new health warnings, which were shown to be clearer, more impactful, and more memorable to both the public and people who gamble.

Emphasising addictiveness was shown to prompt behaviour change, with the strapline ‘Gambling can be addictive’ having greater cut-through (46% of people who gamble vs. 35% for TTTT) and prompting the most people setting the lowest deposit limit. The warning ‘Gambling comes at a cost’ was seen by people who gamble as more impactful and memorable, especially compared to TTTT (22% of people who gamble say this vs. 12% for TTTT). It effectively conveyed implications beyond financial harms. ‘Gambling can grip anyone’ also performed well across metrics.

Dr Raffaello Rossi, a lecturer in marketing at Bristol University and co-author of the research, said: “In the absence of strict gambling marketing restrictions, it is absolutely vital that we see warnings on gambling advertising that highlight the addictive nature of gambling, paired with clear, unambiguous signposting for people to access support if needed. We need to see better regulation of gambling operators who are widely bombarding us with their ads.”

Additional findings showed that the inclusion of a clear and separate GambleAware health warning at the end of a 30-second gambling advert was more than twice as effective than Take Time To Think at showing people where to get support (72% vs. 30% agree). The analysis will form the basis of a new guidelines3 providing operators with clear guidance and recommendations on how to promote safer gambling and prevent harm.

The latest report findings align with the recent Government response, which clearly set out the need for public health messaging to be integrated and reinforced to effectively reduce harm and have impact. They also follow recent research from GambleAware highlighting the role advertising plays in normalising gambling for children and young people, who described feeling their online world was “saturated” with betting promotions and gambling-like content.

Sam Starsmore, who has lived experience of gambling harm, said: “I’ve experienced first-hand the profound impact of gambling harm on every aspect of life – mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially. Sadly, there are potentially millions more people out there at risk of harm, and if they or a loved one are concerned about their gambling, they need to know where they can get help.

“Gambling operators spend millions on advertising, but there isn’t nearly enough regulation and signposting to support services has to be improved. Reflecting on my personal experiences, the safer gambling messages never had an impact in providing me with a platform or direction to seek the support I crucially needed. Change is needed and could help prevent so many people from more serious consequences further down the line.”
