SCROLL

VEGAS SLOTS ONLINE

project duration
8 months
2000+ surveyed players
team of 4 ux design experts
to champion a better game vegas slots online needed to change the narrative around the igaming industry

Context

Vegas Slots Online is an affiliate marketing web application connecting online casinos with over 10k+ daily players all over the world.

The igaming industry is not know for being very ”user-centric”, and trust is a great painpoint for users.

To reflect a change in philosophy and focus we had create new foundations for the brand, with new strategy and identity system that would tackle those main issues.

PROCESS

We did competitive research across multiple disciplines. Extensive surveys and interviews with users collecting psychographic and demographic data to craft Ideal Customer Profiles, refine Personas and define Archetypes for the branding process.

My role was to define requirements,  run workshops for strategy, discovery, and defining brand attributes. I also led the execution of the visual identity, and UX/UI design.

our goal was to put the “bling BLing” and the vegas spin at the center of the user experience

discovery

From extensive research done with over 2000 players, we discovered that over 80% of them played for free with no rewarding experience.

Players are really there for the entertainment, for the spinning, the cool graphics and the Vegas bright lights (“Bling Bling”).

On the other hand, they don’t trust iGaming sites and are weary of losing money gambling.

problem

Most of the free-to-play users where never being monetized by the business in any way.

They also represented the group with most pain-points and unmet needs, as most igaming companies focus on real money experiences.

Unhappy with the “scammy” look and feel of the site, and wanting some sense of accomplishment in their free play, there was countless opportunities to better serve them.

VSO flips the narrative on "the house always wins"

THE NEW NARRATIVE

Imagine if slots could be a harmless form of entertainment, like watching Netflix. VSO gives players a safe place to bet without financial risks.

A personalized experience fitting their specific needs that rewards their engagement with the brand at every step. Time for the players to shine and make this experience their own.

solution

With a clear narrative and strategy, we had the opportunity to offer something completely new in the industry.

A gamified subscription model that provides the user with limitless possibilities for rewards, discounts and exclusive content at a fixed price.

An igaming brand they can trust to have a personal relationship with.

DUE TO A COMPANY-WIDE APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT, OUR TEAM WAS TASKED TO REPLICATE THIS PROCESS TO A NEW PRODUCT
