THE MAIN TRENDS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND SHAPING ONLINE SLOTS/POKIES BUSINESS

There's always a connection between the world and the digital sphere that surrounds us. Just take a look at Hollywood. The age of hippies and Rock&Roll and Disco had a tremendous influence not only to our society but to photography style, party attendance and celebrities style, movie scripts. 

In this modern age, we can also see such connections. However, the exciting thing is how almost every industry adapts to the current trends. Even those you would least expect.

Did you even notice how different online games were only 5 years ago? Perhaps more old school, or had more Asian style- based graphics? That's indeed not a coincidence. These companies do it, so they can start a familiar relationship with their clients and get them to trust from the first glance. 

So, in this article, we will check out the prominent trends that formed the industry of online games (pokies, in particular) and give some examples. 

Films

You just can not deny that the movie industry is something to affect us on a massive level. We have a significant emotional connection with moves we watch. It's merely storytelling. We understand millions of emotions without being told when a character is sad, happy or angry. In a way, its movies and the movies we watch become a part of human's development. 

It's natural that other industries try to match themselves with some movies or even create a similar feeling. Brands collaborate with popular movies, only to get people to feel the same way they did in a film, especially if it's a positive emotion.

Online games and pokies is definitely no exception. You may have stumbled upon such online games, themed with Harry Potter, magic, vampires, James Bond, Western themes, adventure and many many more. There are quite some good examples of this:

Hot 777 is based on the western world life, sheriff, gunshots and intense plot. Definitely something to get excited about.

The classical theme of vampires. Only this one has more of a Dracula vibe to it. Dark visuals, storyline and you'll definitely feel like you've just entered an online Transylvania. Read review about vampire senpai.

Book of adventure slot, as you may have guessed, mostly refers to the old life of Egypt and its infants. It also lets you take a small peak to pharaoh's tomb and explore the life of our Egyptian ancestors just here, one click away.

Asian pop culture

The past decade was the time when Asia pop culture had a massive rise in terms of popularity. New anime series (or the continuation of the old ones, no need to refer to Dragon Ball series here), museums, interior design style... Even Marie Kondo was the one to teach us how to organise our homes. Do we need to continue? I suppose not. 

And why? People simply love it. They love seeing all the colourful little details. So, online games did a real good job adapting their graphics to this current trend. Let's take a look at the examples:

Classic Asian style look here. Even the name speaks for itself - Feng shui.

The animal itself is a symbol of friendship and good relationship. Great Panda is an exciting new game from the Booongo group. Awe-inspiring visuals will guarantee you'll feel like in the middle of bamboo forests in Asia.

Social media

Almost a quarter of the world's population is using some kind of social media. The main reason why social networks are proliferating - they always meet people's demand for interaction. Thanks to the internet, a person could never feel alone or separated. These people find each other and co-create together: write publications, produce memes.

These people are the ones who reveal entertaining content to others as well as to define themselves, nourish and get support for what they do.

Such views and patterns eventually lead to online games adapting as well. Remember the famous games on Facebook, such as the one you had your own farm and the other, where you could compete with friends, ask for help, energy, and so on? Well, it is also a communication with one another. It is how you fulfil your need for social interactions. And online games made an excellent notice of that to use it to their own advantage. 

Let's see some of these online games on the internet:

777 Gems Respin is a great classic of combinations that's always on fire. And it's a great reference in terms of design to the old yet gold Facebook game you can play with friends.  

So, here you go, now you know the primary industries that shape these online games you've been loving. We are not saying these are the only industries, though. Yet, they are one of the biggest and one of the most influential out there.
