arcade perfection


Roundtable: striving for


Developers discuss why the resurgence of arcade-style iGaming isn’t a passing fad; it reflects fundamental shifts in player expectations and technology.


Arcade-style gaming is staging a major comeback. What began as a nostalgic nod to retro entertainment has evolved into a powerful player engagement engine, driving longer sessions, higher deposit rates, and cross-vertical activity. Today’s players crave interactivity, immediacy, and personal agency


- all hallmarks of the arcade experience - and developers are responding with titles that blend the best of casual gaming and casino mechanics. In this roundtable, three industry voices - Evoplay's Ivan Kravchuk, TaDa Gamng's Andy Huang, and Gaming Corps' Alexandros Mavroudis - explore how arcade-style titles are captivating audiences worldwide. For Ivan, the enduring appeal of arcade-style games lies in their


simplicity, energy, and adaptability. Players who grew up with classic video games find immediate familiarity in these modern gambling hybrids, which deliver fast-paced thrills with intuitive controls. Ivan believes a balance of quick-to-learn mechanics layered with meaningful challenge captures the essence of why arcade-inspired content resonates so strongly with today’s casino players.


Andy sees the rise of arcade-style titles as part of a larger cultural


movement fuelled by nostalgia, interactivity, and the demands of a new digital-native audience. As he explains, modern players, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, expect dynamic gameplay, visible progression, and opportunities to showcase skill - elements central to TaDa’s fish- shooting and themed arcade titles. Games like Jackpot Fishing and Fortune Zombie 2 don’t replace existing gaming verticals but enhance them, inspiring players to explore more content and spend more time within the ecosystem. Meanwhile, Alexandros highlights how arcade-style products have


matured into a core component of modern casino portfolios. Teir short, dynamic play sessions align perfectly with the “snackable” en- tertainment habits dominating digital culture, making them ideal for streamers and content creators. As operators continue to innovate, Mavroudis sees these titles bridging the gap between gaming and gambling - transforming from niche novelties into one of the most vibrant and influential segments in iGaming today.
