New Years Bonanza

“People look primarily at the instances where things go wrong for players; of course, every single one of those is one too many. But they don’t tend to look at the large number of people enjoying gambling.”

Holland Casino was one of the first operators out of the gate when the newly-minted market opened in 2021, and while they don’t have the position they occupied in those early days, the company’s online offering is healthy. When they launched online, Petra says “we were very well known for – and are very well known for – responsible gaming.

“That was the reason why we joined [online as well as land-based]. But we were a full brick-and-mortar company so it took us some time to prepare for that market. In the beginning, the market share was of course higher because you only had 10 operators and we had a very well-known brand name, but now the market is much bigger and you have operators more specialised in sports betting and things like that. We have dropped down a bit.”

About New Years Bonanza

1spin4win has timed a new beer-festival slot, Welcome to Octoberfest, to land alongside the real-world Oktoberfest season. It extends a recurring theme the studio comes back to each year.

The significance here is less about the individual game than about what it confirms. 1spin4win is running a deliberate, calendar-driven release model, not treating seasonal themes as one-off novelties.

Seasonal releases are an important part of the studio’s content strategy. 1spin4win regularly builds games inspired by international celebrations, among them Christmas, New Year, St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and Oktoberfest.

This followed a period of restrategising for the operator, after rebranding from GVC Holdings and committing to having 100% of its revenues come from regulated markets.
