SBC Summit 2026: Interview with Anna Karaseva of 1spin4win

Portugal.—October 7, 2026 www.zonadeazar.com As part of the SBC Summit 2026, Zona de Azar spoke exclusively with Anna Karaseva, Senior Public Relations Specialist at 1spin4win, to get a first-hand look at the company’s latest developments, goals, and next steps.

Founded in May 2021 by a team of developers with over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry, 1spin4win currently has a portfolio of more than 200 slots and works with over 1,000 partners worldwide.

From the launch of Lucky Foxilian Hold and Win and the evolution of its classic slots under the slogan “No nonsense. Pure gambling.”, to its international expansion, new partnerships, and the growth of its Scratch Card promotional campaigns, Karaseva analyzes in this exclusive interview the strategy driving the company forward and offers a preview of what the industry should keep on its radar as we head toward 2027.

Zona de Azar: The SBC Summit Lisbon is one of the gaming industry’s major global gatherings. What is 1spin4win’s main objective for this edition, and what would make Lisbon a successful event for the team?

Anna Karaseva: For us, SBC is primarily about the people and face-to-face conversations. We already work with more than 1,000 partners worldwide, so Lisbon represents a great opportunity to meet many of them in person, discuss our current work, and understand their upcoming plans.

We also want to meet new operators and aggregators and show them what 1spin4win has to offer today: not just games, but also data, promotional support, and a very clear product identity.

And for me personally, as a Public Relations specialist, it’s also very important to meet with our current media partners, strengthen those relationships, and build even more trust. At the same time, I hope to find new media partners and new opportunities to tell the story of 1spin4win.

If we leave Lisbon with stronger relationships and new opportunities in all these areas, it will definitely have been a successful event for us.

Zona de Azar: Lucky Foxilian Hold and Win was launched just a few days before the Summit and was one of the stars at Booth B239. What can you tell us about the game, its mechanics, and the idea behind its Egyptian adventure?

Anna Karaseva: Lucky Foxilian Hold and Win is a great example of what we mean by a classic-themed slot.

Foxilian is an adventurous traveler, and this time he’s heading to Egypt in search of lost royal treasures. The game features 243 ways to win, our Hold and Win mechanic, Coins, and two jackpots, with a maximum multiplier of x1,300.

The key point for us is that “classic” doesn’t just mean fruit slots. We can take a clear, familiar gameplay style and build a completely different visual universe around it.

Zona de Azar: The booth also brought the Lucky Foxilian universe to the trade show. What experiences and activities did you prepare for visitors to 1spin4win at Booth B239?

Anna Karaseva: We wanted the booth to be connected to the world of Lucky Foxilian, so visitors could experience the Egyptian adventure theme throughout the space and, of course, try out the game.

We also organized two raffles during the event, with prizes including an iPhone 17 Pro, a Rimowa gift certificate, a Nintendo Switch 2, and Ray-Ban Meta Headliner sunglasses.

Plus, we have a very strong team here in Lisbon. Our Sales, Business Account Management, and Marketing teams are on hand at the booth, so visitors can meet in person the people who work with our partners across different areas of the business.

Gaming Zone: 1spin4win already has over 200 games in its portfolio. From Lucky Band Hold and Win to Lucky Foxilian, what product direction is shaping the second half of 2026?

Anna Karaseva: You just mentioned two of our “Games of the Month.” These are titles to which we allocate additional marketing resources during their launch to help them stand out and gain greater visibility.

But they’re only part of the picture. During the same period, we also launched fruit slots, coin-based games, and themed titles like Welcome To Oktoberfest.

And there’s even more to come. Our next themed release is Golden Joker Halloween, where Lady Joker invites players to a mysterious Gothic mansion full of Halloween surprises.

Next will come our Christmas and New Year’s releases. And then ICE 2027 won’t be too far off: we’re preparing something that will definitely be worth checking out there.

But throughout all of this, we remain true to ourselves and our motto: “No nonsense. Pure gambling.” We may change themes and formats, but our focus on classic, well-balanced slots remains the same.

Zona de Azar: The results for the first half of 2026 showed strong growth, with a 47% increase in GGR and a 59.06% increase in the number of players compared to the same period in 2025. What is driving this growth?

Anna Karaseva: I think it stems from several factors working together: stronger distribution, a consistent release schedule, and a better understanding of what resonates with different player audiences.

This year, we’ve also been exploring Africa much more actively.

We’re closely analyzing player preferences there, meeting with more local partners, and using the data we collect to understand which formats and mechanics work best.

At the same time, we continue to focus on Europe and Latin America, so our roadmap is increasingly influenced by everything we learn from very different audiences.

Zona de Azar: The DNA of classic slots remains central to 1spin4win, but you continue to incorporate new mechanics and promotional ideas. How do you keep that offering relevant for today’s players?

Anna Karaseva: We try to add something new without losing the simplicity that makes classic slots easy to understand.

Our Product Manager once compared our approach to features to cooking. The goal isn’t to find a single secret ingredient. You have to build the right recipe, with the proper proportions and the right combination of flavors.

It’s the same with slots. A feature may be excellent on its own, but it has to fit within the mathematical model, the volatility, and the overall experience.

We don’t incorporate features simply because they’re trendy—they have to make sense when they work together.

Zona de Azar: Among the latest distribution moves are the expansion of the partnership with Stake and integrations with 01.tech and Kanggiten. How important are these partnerships for 1spin4win’s international expansion?

Anna Karaseva: They’re very important because each partnership strengthens our distribution in a different way.

Expanding our global presence with Stake was a major milestone because it brought our portfolio of over 200 games to one of the industry’s best-known online casino brands.

At the same time, integrations with platforms like 01.tech and Kanggiten strengthen our distribution infrastructure and allow more casino operators to access our content.

We already work with more than 1,000 partners, so now the focus isn’t just on growing that network. We also want to deepen existing relationships, improve our visibility, and ensure that our games perform well once they’re available.

Zona de Azar: 1spin4win recently launched a Scratch Card campaign in partnership with FairCrown and Revery Play. What does this type of promotional mechanic offer operators? Can we expect more initiatives like this?

Anna Karaseva: In fact, we’ve already launched another Scratch Card campaign. It began on September 28 in partnership with LevelUp, LuckyElf, and Ozzybet.

This shows us that there’s demand from operators for this type of promotional format, and we’re very pleased with that.

Scratch Card is part of our Players Room and creates an additional connection between our games, players, and our casino partners. Plus, it’s easy for operators to get on board because we handle all the technical aspects.

So yes, we definitely want to continue developing in this direction and bring more partners on board for these campaigns.

Zona de Azar: You arrived in Lisbon with the Sales, Account Management, and Marketing teams. Beyond showcasing the games, what kinds of conversations are you looking to have with operators, aggregators, and potential partners?

Anna Karaseva: I think the most useful conversations are the most practical ones: what’s currently working for our partners, what their players are responding to, and in what areas we can provide them with better support.

For Sales, that might mean new integrations and partnerships. For Account Management, it’s often about game performance, their placement within the lobby, and how we can generate more value from the existing portfolio.

And from a Marketing perspective, I’m very interested in media relations, new opportunities to showcase 1spin4win, and different ways to increase the visibility of our games. We also want to discuss more joint promotional campaigns with our casino partners.

Having all three teams here makes these discussions much easier, because we can analyze each partnership from different perspectives at the same time.

Zona de Azar: And now, the real Spoiler Alert: without giving everything away, what is that launch, announcement, or next step from 1spin4win that the industry should keep on its radar after Lisbon?

Anna Karaseva: I’d keep an eye on our Scratch Card campaigns.

We’ve already seen a good level of interest from operators, so we want to continue developing this format, add more casino partners, and create new opportunities around it.

At the same time, we’ll continue building strong relationships with operators and staying true to what 1spin4win does best: classic slots.

There will be many new launches and projects ahead, but that core focus won’t change.

With more than 200 games, a network of over 1,000 partners, and a strategy that combines the essence of classic slots with new mechanics, promotional tools, and an increasingly international distribution, 1spin4win wrapped up its appearance at the SBC Summit Lisbon by making it clear that its growth will continue to be driven by both its product and its relationships with operators, aggregators, and players.

And if there’s one thing to watch especially closely after Lisbon, Karaseva has already dropped a hint: Scratch Card will continue to take center stage, as the company begins laying the groundwork for its upcoming launches and for ICE 2027.

Zona de Azar will continue to follow 1spin4win’s latest developments.
