OLBG bolsters in-house content suite with new slots interview series

OLBG has ramped up its in-house content production this year with the launch of a new interview series focused on casino, and specifically online slot game development. 

Industry legend Chris Taylor, who has 20 years’ experience in the field, has spearheaded a fun new series which is sure to attract plenty of attention as it delves into some of the most fascinating creative talent and technical feats of recent years, from a wide range of studios. 

Taylor, who joined OLBG just six months ago in April, has been a stalwart of the iGaming industry ever since he started his own slots site back in 2011.

In his new remit as Head of Slots at OLBG, Taylor is not only overseeing all things slots, he’s also bringing the best and brightest names in the industry together for a new series. 

OLBG Slots Series, which began in July 2024, has so far featured the creators of some of the world’s most popular slots games, including Pragmatic Play, Nolimit City, Push Gaming and 4ThePlayer.

High-profile guests to date include Nolimit City head of product Per Lindheimer and Push Gaming studio head Amit Samji, while the super relevant series has gained hundreds of pageviews for flagship OLBG website, OLBG. com.

Shared best practice

“One of the best things about the gaming industry is the willingness to share best practice, because iGaming isn’t just a job for so many of us – it’s a passion,” said Taylor. 

“The stories told so far have also put paid to the outdated view that there is a lack of innovation in online slots, with every company striving to make their mark in a unique way.

“Our slots series aims to bring players one step closer to studios with a chance to understand the process behind what goes into creating some of their favourite games. 

“It even gives casino fans an exclusive sneak peek over what to expect in future,” he added. 

Technology, regulation and game mechanics are all brought to the forefront in this new long-form content, with industry heavyweights Relax Gaming and Print Studios set to appear on the series soon.

Established in 2002, OLBG began as a guide to the best betting sites and latest offers with information to help sports bettors place bets online with UK-licensed operators.

Later, Online Betting Guide became more affectionately known as OLBG, and now provides guides and information covering casino and slots, as well as sports betting.

The Q&A series is a natural progression of OLBG’s internal content strategy in the slots vertical, allowing the business to delve deeper into the latest industry trends and brand insights.
