In business, the KISS acronym describes the merits of keeping things simple. This can be applied to many sectors, and simplicity is certainly one of the major reasons why older slots (such as Book of Dead) are still popular. They tend to have a simpler design and easier-to-grasp gameplay than the latest games. This is appealing to lots of people who might prefer the more traditional reel design of older slots or want something that is quick to pick up.
Familiarity and nostalgia
Older slots still get people coming back for more due to the familiarity they offer. This is especially true if players have been enjoying the same games for years. Many people like the comfort of something they know and not having to learn how a new game works. Of course, retro gaming is a popular trend and many people love the nostalgia hit they get from sticking with older slots.
Fun themes and cool bonuses
Older slot games are among the most played still because they are fun and come in a variety of cool themes. From the vampire-themed thrills of Blood Suckers to the safari-inspired japes of Mega Moolah, there is an older slot to keep everyone entertained. These games also usually pack in lots of cool bonuses and some interesting bonus rounds to enjoy. This helps to keep them engaging to play and also potentially lucrative.
Older slots are still getting much love
Although slot fans will always have one eye on the latest hot game to try, many will also regularly return to older slots. As the above shows, this is not a surprise when you see what these types of games offer. Due to this, casinos such as the brand-new Rapid Casino from PressEnter are sure to include older slots in their catalogs.
