Topical slot themes for creatives in Colombia
Based on the analysis of advertising materials using Spy-services, one of the demanded trends in games for the Colombian audience was identified - slots in the aesthetics of magic, mysticism and magical artifacts
Popularity factors
- As of 2025, about 55% Colombians work informally, implying a lack of stable income and social security. This is one of the highest rates in Latin America. In conditions of economic uncertainty, games with elements of magic are becoming a sought-after tool for psychological compensation
- Such slots are particularly tangible in building a belief in the possibility of dramatically improved prosperity, which is a powerful trigger for audiences looking for hope and ways to instantly change lives
- The ancient peoples (Muisca, Tayrona, etc.) who inhabited the territory of Colombia had a rich mythology, believed in shamanism, magical rituals and sacred artifacts. These images are still recognizable and appealing among the locals today
- The visual component of Magic Slots - the use of saturated colors, special effects and bright characters - perfectly matches the aesthetic preferences of Colombian gamblers, formed under the influence of local Latin American pop culture (telenovelas, festivals).
Behavioral characteristics
- There is a persistent belief among gaming residents that losses and wins are balanced over time. In other words, after a series of failures, gamblers begin to expect an inevitable win, and during a period of frequent wins, they anticipate an imminent loss. This mindset keeps them engaged and leads them to continue betting even in the face of negative results
- The peak period of Colombian audience activity is in the evening hours (20:00-23:00)
Creatives
- Colombian players are particularly sensitive to bonuses and freespins, making such offers an effective tool for attracting an audience
- Using Colombia's national rhythms in the audio track of creatives serves as a powerful trigger for residents. However, the audio should be unobtrusive
- We recommend creating content in a mini story format that includes three main emotions: disappointment, hope, and a sudden win. The Colombian audience is highly emotional and this approach will have a significant impact on user retention
- It is appropriate to introduce short dialogues and topical Colombian memes/jokes to capture attention
