Strategic partnership between BCSlots and Eilers & Krejcik Gaming

Brian Christopher and his company BCSlots have signed a strategic partnership with Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG). The parties will cooperate on data and analytics to improve the statistical picture of gambling games and to give players the ability to rate games.

Christopher said that EKG has long collected technical performance data at the machine level, but does not know players' direct experiences with slot machines. Combining these two perspectives is expected to reveal more fully how players behave, what they prefer and what they dislike.

Todd Eilers, co-founder of EKG, said that combining the company's quantitative data with qualitative feedback from BCSlots' active community will give a more holistic understanding of slot games. The detailed research report to be prepared after the partnership will be shared with EKG's network of operators and suppliers.

In addition, a new category will be featured at the next EKG Slot Awards ceremony in Las Vegas, where players will vote. The award will go to the slot games that attracted the most interest among players over the year. Christopher said clear trends have not yet emerged, as the first survey has only just been published.
