Jekaterina Dubnicka, Head of Marketing and Communications at Slotsjudge shared her excitement about the future participation in the summit: “I feel like this panel was a valuable opportunity to share everything I have learned about slot design and development with a larger audience. Indeed, we should think three steps ahead when it comes to the slot creation, and I’m looking forward to connecting with more industry experts and learning their insights on the topic.”

“Future-focused slot design is what we must already consider today. The trends we know now become outdated faster than we get to blink, hence it is our job as iGaming developers and reviewers to foresee what will be in demand tomorrow. It takes a huge dedication to the craft and knowing the player preferences like the palm of your hand.”
