Are retro casino games the new cool? Polish gaming expert, Anna Rosak, witnessed this change in casino business first-hand. She claims that people are not ready to face the "new normal" and that more and more casino releases are focused on well-known trends from the 50s to 80s.

Rosak explains the rise of retro social gaming. Online bingo is a new form of gaming that is popular because it is social. Many punters switched to online casinos during the pandemic.

There is a sudden influx of retro casino games. Hotline 2 and Burlesque by Dita are examples of such games that are either spin-offs of popular games or inspired directly by bygone eras. 3-reeled slots are becoming a thing of the past. The current video gaming technologies and companies rarely want to support or offer retro style. They are focused on developing elaborate and complex games to milk more money. Gamers don't mind retro themes and retro feels, but they don’t want the advantages of modern gaming.

The popularity of retro casino games is a response to the uncertain time we live in. Anna Rosak believes the new gaming preferences are the result of the current crisis. She thinks people will be more open to futuristic games and titles that look into the future.
