Many visitors to the stand where impressed with the contactless nature of our access control solutions and how we use our own AI algorithms developed and trained over many years to guarantee a highly secure system, rather than algorithms that are publicly available.”

Our hygienic cash automation kit, CashGenic, can successfully automate the counting and handling of cash, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for retailers. Whilst MyCheckr is ideal for retailers who sell age restricted goods, assisting staff with age checks by providing an extra level of assurance when challenging underage customers for ID. Our stand was positioned next to our German Trading Partner, PerfectMoney and the collaboration worked nicely at the show.”

Inside GEO: Slovenia As the Next Emerging Goldmine
Slovenia is definitely one of the most promising GEOs for the iGaming niche.
That is why the N1 Partners team has collected insights that will help to work more accurately with the audience, increase ROI and build effective advertising campaigns for the GEO.
Let’s look at the big picture to understand the potential of the region better. Slovenia is a small country in Central Europe with a population of about 2.1 million people and its capital in Ljubljana. The official language is Slovenian, the currency is euro, and the time zone is CET (UTC+1).
With the background of a high living standard and a stable economy, the market creates favorable conditions for online gambling: the iGaming sector is already showing steady growth, and its volume was estimated at about $497 million by 2025.
Reasons to test Slovenia
Slovenia is a promising region, but it often turns out to be underestimated in the iGaming niche.
Top 3 reasons to drive traffic to Slovenia right now:
- Low competition.
Slovenia is the country with a low share of online gambling in the market. For partners, this is a signal: with proper localisation and strategy, you can enter a less competitive environment and make a long-term profit. - Solvent players.
The GDP per capita in Slovenia is about $35.3 thousand, which confirms the high level of audience solvency and the potential for stable LTV. - High potential.
Slovenia is not an overheated online market: in European comparison, the share of online gambling in the overall revenue structure remains relatively low. This means that the market has not yet fully realised its digital potential and there’s a room for growth.
Players’ behaviour
Slovenian users are more likely to choose online platforms due to their convenience, wide choice of games and accessibility from mobile devices.
In this region, smartphones account for the majority of iGaming traffic — 86.45%, which requires the adaptation of all funnels to mobile devices.
Gender and age
- Men — 63%, average age 31-35 years
- Women — 37%, average age 26-30 years
According to N1 Partners, the iGaming market remains predominantly male, which is confirmed by external research: the main audience is men aged 25-44. At the same time, the proportion of women is gradually increasing, expanding the segment’s potential.
Top 10 slots Among N1 Partners Players in Slovenia
N1 Partners team notes that players prefer slots with recognizable series, bonus features and adventure themes — this directly affects retention and LTV.
- Legacy of Dead
- Book of Dead
- Heist Stakes
- Book of the Fallen
- Gates of Olympus Super Scatter
- Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe
- Magic Apple 2
- Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness
- Gonzo’s Quest II: Return to El Dorado

Conclusion
Slovenia is a GEO with strong and sustainable potential and a high share of mobile traffic, as well as a growing iGaming market, ideal for those working with gambling traffic.
