A new report from Slotegrator: 10 myths about gambling
Slotegrator releases its downloadable reports on a monthly basis. This time, it’s an overview of some common misconceptions about running a gambling business, essential reading for new operators.
Is running an online casino or sportsbook a foolproof enterprise? Are all players addicts? Is geographical expansion the only way operators can grow their business? Plenty of new operators might think so — and they won’t be the ones who last.
An online casino or sportsbook can be a fantastic and flourishing business. But if you build your platform on a foundation of false beliefs, it will never withstand the test of time. New iGaming operators who base their strategies on misconceptions will make wrong decision after wrong decision, ultimately leading to a very short-lived business.
That’s why it’s best to take a beat and do some research before diving in. They should find out which laws actually apply to their business, the different risks they’ll face once their platform is up and running (and there are plenty), what kind of player acquisition and retention strategies will work for them, and — most importantly — what kind of help they’ll need, and where and how to get it.
In Slotegrator’s latest report, the company collected 10 common myths about the online gambling industry and tore each one apart, revealing the truth behind them and clearing up any wrong ideas a reader might have. As an added bonus, they indicate which of their products and solutions correlate with the best efforts to avoid falling victim to each stereotype, like how their Telegram Casino solution can help iGaming companies expand their business, and how their APIgrator game integration solution can give you the game portfolio you need to keep players coming back (because offering a few favorite games isn’t enough anymore).
Any new operator in the early stages of planning, preparing, or launching an online business would find it well worth their time to learn everything they can from the insightful report, from the nuances of running an international business to the complexities of planning an effective marketing strategy for an online casino or sportsbook.
“We have experience in responding to various gambling operators’ requests in different regions and niches, and we know what ideas normally end in failure. Our mission is to minimize mistakes and help businesses to prevent crises. That’s why we developed our solutions for online casinos and sportsbooks, and that’s also the reason why we keep generating informative articles and other Academy materials,” comments Yana Khaidukova, the Managing Director of Slotegrator.

Step into Pip O’Spin’s world of rainbows, golden rewards, and mischievous magic
Stakelogic has unveiled its latest enchanted adventure, Leprechaun’s Loot, where Irish folklore meets inventive mechanics. Starring Pip O’Spin, a cheeky leprechaun from the emerald hills with a gift for turning rainbows into gold, the game combines playful storytelling with exciting Hold ‘N’ Win action.
With 243 Pay Ways, players begin on a 5×3 grid where Rainbow symbols can be boosted into Golden Rainbows, instantly increasing their value. Rainbow Collects deliver instant wins when a Collect symbol lands on reel five, while Lucky Respins give players a chance to trigger the Bonus. Players can also activate Super Stake
to double the likelihood of entering Free Spins or buy directly into the Hold ‘N’ Win feature for 100x their bet.
Once inside the Hold ‘N’ Win Bonus, the real magic begins. Here, Rainbow and Golden Rainbow symbols lock in place while modifiers add layers of excitement.
Expand symbols can unlock additional rows up to a full 5×5 grid, while Double symbols fill a meter that, when charged, doubles all Rainbow values before resetting. Golden Rainbows persist throughout the round, transferring and stacking their value onto other symbols creating a steady stream of treasure.
With high volatility and a max multiplier of x5,000, Leprechaun’s Loot balances whimsical charm with serious win potential.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “With Leprechaun’s Loot, we wanted to create a slot where every feature feeds into the next, building momentum and excitement spin by spin. The Hold ‘N’ Win round really comes alive as modifiers stack, the grid expands, and Golden Rainbows keep values climbing. This release delivers layers of gameplay that will keep players engaged, entertained and wanting to come back for more.”
Leprechaun’s Loot will be available to operators and players from 9 October 2025.
