Why Are Online Slots Gaining Popularity Among Kenyan Gamblers?

Kenya is probably not the first country that crosses your mind when you think about online gambling and online casinos. However, the country has a long and rich history of gambling that goes back to 1966. In 1966, Kenyan legislators embraced the very first official gambling laws and guidelines after enforcing the Betting, Lotteries, and Gaming Act. Back in the day, the same Act was enforced in the United Kingdom.

After embracing this gambling legislation, the Betting Control and Licensing Board was created as well. It was and still is tasked with handling remote gaming licenses and regulating the entire Kenya gambling industry.

Shortly after, Kenya welcomed the first brick-and-mortar gaming houses. Today, land-based casinos can be found in most major cities, including Nairobi and Mombasa.

When it comes to the Kenyan iGaming industry, it is the third-biggest African market of this kind after South Africa and Ghana. According to the latest reports, Kenyan young adults invest more money on online gambling products when compared to young adults residing in other African countries.

Kenyan players get to explore many different land-based casinos and the same is true for iGaming platforms. With many different options available, there is no wonder why the industry has been thriving.

Online Gambling in Kenya – Online Slots Among The Most Popular Games

Kenyans get to enjoy online gambling services and products at many licensed casinos. When we say licensed, we mean casinos that have been issued remote gaming licenses by the Betting Control and Licensing Board.

Players can also legally gamble at local and international online casinos, for as long as they operate according to the country’s online gambling legislation. The Betting, Lotteries, and Gaming Act makes it illegal for underage individuals to join gambling sites, while generally, online gambling is perfectly legal.

Kenyans enjoy many different online casino games, but in terms of popularity, online slots doubtlessly lead the way. The best slots sites in Kenya listed by Slots.info are all licensed by the Kenyan gambling regulatory agency.

As expected, renowned slots sites allow players to play the best online slots powered by Playtech, Microgaming, NetEnt, and other reputable brands. To allow easy navigation, the best slots sites in Kenya feature intuitive, user-friendly layouts and handy Search options, so that players can easily locate the game they are looking for.

All of the best online slots in Kenya are compatible with mobile devices. Rendered specifically to support mobile devices, Kenyan players who prefer slots get to engage in gaming sessions using their mobile devices at any time and any place. Slots sites in Kenya also offer many different local payment options, so that players can easily fund their accounts and of course, get their winnings. Since mobile gambling in Kenya has been at the forefront of the country’s gambling industry, the best slots sites offer quite a few mobile payment options. One of these is extremely popular M-Pesa that allows easy deposits and hassle-free withdrawals on mobile devices. Besides M-Pesa, most casinos support Neteller, MasterCard, and Visa.

Why are Online Slots a Staple in Kenyan Online Casinos?

If you go through the gaming libraries of different sites operating in Kenya, you will see that each library features hundreds of different games within this specific category. This does not come as a surprise considering online slots in Kenya enjoy the biggest popularity among Kenyan players.

So, what are the major factors driving the popularity of these games in the Kenyan iGaming scene? The major factor contributing to the games’ popularity is their simplicity.

Simplicity and Ease of Play

When compared to other games available to Kenyan punters, slots are among the simplest, easiest games to play. In addition to offering, engaging and fast-paced gaming sessions, slot games are extremely easy to play, suitable for everyone, including those with no experience at all.

In other words, to get started with these games, you do not require any previous experience or any special knowledge. The main focus of slot games is purely on entertainment, so they are crafted to be as simple and engaging as possible.

There are no difficult-to-understand winning strategies and no complex gaming rules and guidelines. After finding a game that looks interesting, players get started by pressing the Spin button and they hope that a great winning combination lands. Unlike many other casino games, slots are games of luck with no skill involved, and this is what makes them so popular among Kenyan and other players.

Greater Accessibility 

At the same time, their simplicity is not the only factor contributing to the games’ popularity. Unlike many other casino games, Kenyans get to play, slots are the most accessible. Different iGaming platforms offer different games, but the vast majority of them feature rich slots catalogs. Therefore, those interested in playing these games can easily find them across many platforms. Generally, slots catalogs are packed with hundreds of titles.

With hundreds of different titles available, everyone gets to play. Many Kenyans also prefer slots over other casino games due to their entertaining and relaxing nature. Since no complex rules and guidelines are included, these games are way more relaxing than most classic table games. In addition, slots are generally more affordable which makes them perfect for punters who deal with tight budgets. Most games of this kind accept very low wagers, way lower than wagers accepted by other games.

Mobile Compatibility

Slots you get to play in standard, brick-and-mortar venues are very appealing, but not as awesome online slots that work on a whole range of portable devices. Considering that mobile gambling is extremely popular among Kenyans, mobile compatibility of slots is another major popularity driving factor. In fact, every Kenyan who owns a mobile device can engage in slots gaming sessions at any time and any place. Naturally, this gives the games mass appeal.

The availability of free/demo play gaming options is another important factor that drives the popularity of these games among Kenyans. Players appreciate the opportunity to test the games before they start playing for real money. With slots, free/demo play options are available at most casinos. We also have to mention bonuses and promotions. Most promos offered to players directly associate with slots, whether it be a free spins promo or a cashback bonus. Naturally, the availability of awesome slots bonuses makes these games more attractive and appealing to Kenyans.
