How The Power of New Games Helps Affiliates Grow
Casino affiliates all over the planet are locked in a tough but potentially lucrative battle to attract new players. Big welcome bonuses and gamified sites are some of the tools at their disposal, but nothing is more effective than a top-notch collection of great games to bring in newcomers. By looking at some of the key categories, we can discover how new games and genres are helping drive growth when used correctly.
Sequels and Spin-Offs Catch the Eye
If we look at a collection of popular slots on a leading casino site, we can see that some of them are sequels or spin-offs of slots that have attracted a lot of fans. Devil Fire 2 and Money Coming 2 are among the slots that have proved to be popular enough to get a follow-up that enhances the original in some way. Slot sequels often look very similar but add a new feature, such as a bonus round or jackpot.
Anyone who enjoys playing a certain game is likely to feel enthusiastic about a sequel that they spot being advertised. It’s a classic marketing approach that we can also find being used in the movie and TV world. This look at the trend points out that 2024’s five highest-grossing movies were either sequels or reboots. In the same way, some of the most popular slots are part of the biggest series.
Adding spin-offs is a low-risk approach that is designed to quickly capture the attention of players. However, it needs to be combined with the introduction of other new slots that show a forward-looking approach and a willingness to give new ideas a chance. Too many sequels can result in people getting bored and looking for alternative platforms.
New Features Can Fuel Interesting Marketing Campaigns
The fact that they’re so easy to use is one of the main reasons why slot machines have been a casino favorite across the decades. All you need to do is hit the spin button and wait to see if the right symbols fall into place to give you a big prize. While slot developers don’t want to lose that simplicity, they also need to find new ways to get players excited about their gameplay.
This is why we find new slots being launched with features like innovative types of jackpots and cash collect features. Affiliates can use the freshness of these features to get potential new players interested in playing. By studying how innovators create new markets, we can see how they flip existing ideas, with the example of the Square payment service showing how big changes often start very simply.
Themes That Increase The Appeal
An explosion of new themes has been one of the key aspects in the spectacular recent growth of online casinos, as many of the leading developers have decided to create their own versions using widely loved themes like fishing, wild animals, and Egyptian treasures. With each new game having some sort of fresh new ideas, the release of the latest slots gives casinos and their affiliates the chance to appeal to a big audience.
Not all of the newest slots are designed to appeal to every type of player, with many of them having niche appeal that makes them ideal for certain users. This is why we’re seeing slot releases based on genres like fantasy, movies, and science fiction, among others. These games can be used to carry out targeted marketing, but they need to be aimed at the right people to enjoy success.
This look by mBit Casino at underrated retro games reveals how there is a big market for these games, so it’s no surprise that new slots with a retro tinge are also trending.
Live Dealer Titles, Plinko, Crash, and More
The history of casinos is filled with classic games like roulette and blackjack, which have retained their popularity over centuries and are still highly sought after. However, the market has expanded in fascinating new directions in recent years, as the latest technology is used to create different kinds of gambling games.
Live dealer titles use live-streaming to appeal to new players who want a fast-paced, game show type of experience with direct human interaction. Plinko and crash-style games have also been introduced to add to the different ways of playing in casinos. These games provide fast and simple gameplay that appeals to people who love casual games with an easy learning curve.
Bearing in mind all of the different ways that new games can be used to help affiliates grow, it’s clear that these sites now have a variety of powerful tools at their fingertips. It’s just a question of using them wisely to let new players see what games they might want to try.

Level Up in Barcelona: N1 Partners Puzzle Promo Grand Final Recap
The N1 Puzzle Promo journey reached its culmination in Barcelona, where N1 Partners hosted a grand final event that became one of the standout events of the iGB Affiliate week. Taking place after the first day of iGB Affiliate in Barcelona, the evening marked the official conclusion of a year-long campaign that ran throughout 2025 and consistently engaged partners across the industry.
Designed as a large-scale finale, the event brought together a carefully selected audience of industry leaders, top-performing affiliates and long-term partners. Interest in the final exceeded expectations well in advance, with more than 2,000 registrations submitted and over 600 guests attending the closed-format celebration. Limited access and a curated guest list helped shape an atmosphere of anticipation and made the night one of the most discussed gatherings of the conference week.
Where the Final Began: First Moments of the Night
From the moment guests arrived, the tone of the evening was clear. Paparazzi-style photographers welcomed attendees at the entrance, capturing arrival moments and setting a cinematic pace for what followed. Inside, flight-attendant-inspired stewards guided guests through the venue.

Multiple zones were designed to balance entertainment and conversation. A signature cocktail bar served drinks created specifically for the night, while a dedicated VIP area offered a comfortable setting for private discussions, networking and informal meetings that continued throughout the evening.
When the Stage Took Over the Night
The stage program played a central role in shaping the atmosphere of the night. Rather than relying on a single format, the evening unfolded through a sequence of performances that kept guests engaged from start to finish. Energetic dance acts set the pace early on, followed by moments of contrast, including classical compositions reimagined in a rock-driven style.

DJ sets carried the momentum between performances, while the appearance of the event’s headline guest became a natural high point of the program. Combined with lighting design and stage production, the performances created an experience that stayed with guests long after the evening came to a close.

As a final personal touch, guests were invited to visit the custom patch bar, where they could take home a souvenir marking their participation in the N1 Puzzle Promo grand final.



Celebrating the Leaders of N1 Puzzle Promo
At the core of the evening stood the award ceremony, recognising the partners who defined N1 Puzzle Promo throughout the year. N1 Partners highlighted those who consistently maintained a strong pace across the campaign and secured top positions on the leaderboard through long-term performance rather than short-term spikes.
As the final results were announced on stage, the emotions in the room spoke for themselves. The winners of N1 Puzzle Promo shared their reactions moments after the ceremony, reflecting on the journey, the competition and what the victory meant for their teams.
1st place – Cash Splash, winner of the main prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter

The winning team, Cash Splash, shared their impressions after the announcement of the results:
“The emotions are overwhelming, honestly at the highest level. The event itself was impressive, and winning the main prize among such strong peers feels truly incredible. For a long time, we were simply doing our job, and only closer to the end did we realise we could compete for first place and win the helicopter.
What mattered most for us was that this was not just a promo or a prize. Throughout the campaign, it was clear that N1 Partners focus on long-term relationships and transparent partnership. We understood what we were competing for, and that level of clarity was a strong motivation.”
2nd place – Advertise.net, awarded an Aston Martin Aramco AMR24 F1 Simulator

The second-place team, Advertise.net, shared their perspective on the promo and the competition:
“The first emotion was pure excitement. For us, even making it into the top three already felt like a win. We worked on this for a long time, and seeing our company’s name on stage was an incredibly emotional moment.
What mattered most in this promo was transparency and fairness. We could track our results almost in real time and clearly understand how we could influence the outcome. This was not a vote or a matter of luck, it was the result of real work.”
3rd place – Traffic Squad, winner of a Rolex Sky-Dweller watch

4th place – Seven Group
5th place – Alfaleads Network
Each announcement was met with strong engagement from the audience, reinforcing the competitive nature of the promo and the scale of its rewards. The ceremony underscored a key message of the campaign: consistency, strategy and commitment over time were central to success.
The Final Piece of a Year-Long Story
The N1 Puzzle Promo Grand Final was not positioned as a standalone celebration, but as the natural conclusion of a campaign that unfolded throughout the year. By combining immersive production, a strong narrative arc and tangible recognition of partner achievements, N1 Partners delivered a final that felt both earned and relevant to the industry.
Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners, shared her thoughts on the campaign finale:
“The N1 Puzzle Promo Grand Final in Barcelona became the culmination of the entire campaign and a reflection of what was achieved over the year. Bringing our partners together to celebrate their results highlighted the commitment, consistency and long-term effort behind this journey.
This finale was our way of showing that we are not just working side by side, but building long-term partnerships based on trust and shared goals. Seeing our partners celebrate their achievements, share emotions and connect with each other confirmed that we created something truly meaningful for the affiliate community.”

The grand final also attracted strong interest from industry media. Representatives of leading iGaming and affiliate outlets attended the event, capturing its atmosphere and engaging with partners throughout the evening. Their presence reinforced the broader industry relevance of the N1 Puzzle Promo finale and extended its visibility beyond the conference floor.
As the evening came to a close, the grand finale reflected what the promo was ultimately about: long-term collaboration and a shared moment of celebration with the iGaming community.
N1 Partners expressed appreciation to all guests who joined the N1 Puzzle Promo grand final party and helped turn the evening into one of the most memorable moments of the conference week.
