Slotegrator reveals the 10 features players love in 2025 and 3 you should avoid

Players love extra features. The newest report by Slotegrator, a leading online casino software supplier and aggregator, covers the 10 features that still keep players engaged in 2025 — and the 3 features that drive them away.

The genius of slots lies in their simplicity.

They’re the essence of real-money gaming. The player lays their money on the line and waits to see if they win more than they risked or if their wager disappears.

But sometimes even genius can be improved upon — that’s where extra features come in. Extra features like free spins and sticky wilds add an extra level of excitement to the game. They heighten player expectations, raise the stakes, and promise even more thrills than normal. By breaking up the rhythm of the base game, they create a more varied experience.
Players see the value in both small-scale and large-scale features. At one end of the spectrum are, for example, free spins, where players get to spin the reels a few times free of charge. At the other end are extensive, tiered VIP and loyalty programs that create a gaming ecosystem that increases in value over time.

But operators should tread lightly.

Players’ love of features has a limit. While there are some features that they can’t get enough of, there are others that they definitely can — and a few they want nothing to do with.

“Understanding player behavior is the cornerstone of building successful iGaming projects. Features like free spins and loyalty programs not only elevate the player experience but also strengthen retention. At the same time, operators need to be aware of the mechanics that can work against them. With an in-depth report, we’re giving the industry valuable insights into how to balance innovation with player expectations in 2025”, says Andrii Lypovyi, sales manager at Slotegrator.
