Slotozilla Data Report: Unveiling 2024’s Gaming Statistics

Published

on

By

PHILADELPHIA, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Slotozilla is an industry-leading online casino and slot review platform. Since its inception, the company has published refreshed analyses covering iGaming operators and software – with the intent to provide accurate, informative data for all users.

Throughout 2024, Slotozilla collected relevant data pertaining to player usage of the platform. These insights unveiled clear illustrations of player preferences, gender distribution, age-related data, and other appropriate gaming behaviour. This report outlines significant findings laid bare by Slotozilla’s year-long study.

Explosive Global Favorites: The Demo Slots That Dominated 2024

Clear regional preferences were brought to light during Slotozilla’s 2024 analysis, as Book of Ra dominated the European industry. Where’s the Gold represented Australia’s favourite slot, while Plinko, Wolf Run, and Sizzling Hot garnered significant attention from a worldwide player base.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe earned plaudits within the French gaming arena – attaining nearly one-quarter of the nation’s demo playtime. Industry developers and operators should expect these slots to influence the iGaming scene in 2025 and beyond.

Beyond the Numbers: Surprising Engagement and Demographic Shifts Revealed

The previous year detailed a clear shift towards all-encompassing domination by particular titles and demographics. For example, Columbus proved a major hit among USA bettors – racking up an average playtime of 194.8 minutes. That figure sits far ahead of the next game in line, King of Atlantis, which garnered 72.5 minutes per average session from French users.

Similar lob-sided statistics exist when comparing gender-based play, as male German players form 73.91% of the nation’s users—potentially guiding marketing efforts.

Modern Industry Impact

Data collected by SlotoZilla evidences various marked industry shifts spanning several key demographics. This report’s holistic view of the modern iGaming industry highlights the increasing necessity for targeted marketing campaigns, relevant themes, and boundary-pushing features.

Users located in Australia, Poland, and Canada are notable in this regard – as players from all three vital nations tend to access online slots from the age of 25 onward. Strategies around this data are central to maintaining a robust industry.

Slotozilla at a Glance

Slotozilla is a renowned global enterprise that endeavours to deliver unbiased game casino reviews, comprehensive game guides, and impartial industry analysis. We seek to deliver relevant promotions to new users as well as veterans of the scene – with each campaign backed by fact-checked data. An example comes in the form of our most recent evaluation of on-site preferences, which provided many essential conclusions related to 2024 Demo Slot Statistics.

Raiinmaker & ElizaOS partner to launch TRAIIN AGENT: A Revolutionary Platform for Ethical AI Agent Training and Moderation

Published

on

By

TRAIIN AGENT is powered by a global network of 450,000 validators, redefining trust and decentralization in artificial intelligence.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With growing public concern around AI safety, bias, and accountability, Raiinmaker today announced the launch of TRAIIN AGENT, a groundbreaking decentralized AI platform designed to build trust, ethics, and human oversight directly into AI training and agent moderation. Partnering with AI ecosystem innovator ElizaOS, TRAIIN AGENT is powered by a global network of over 450,000 validators to ensure AI models are ethically trained, rigorously moderated, and transparently validated, offering a powerful solution amid mounting ethical challenges in artificial intelligence.

TRAIIN AGENT is not just a product, it’s a movement to democratize AI Agent development while ensuring integrity. By combining advanced AI models with human-in-the-loop (HITL) validation, TRAIIN AGENT empowers enterprises, developers, and communities to build AI Agents that reflect the world’s complexity without compromising ethics. Its reputation-driven consensus system prioritizes trusted validators, ensuring every dataset and agent output meets the highest standards of accuracy and fairness.

TRAIIN AGENT: Redefining AI Trust with ElizaOS

TRAIIN AGENT is a game-changer for AI moderation and quality assurance. Integrated with ElizaOS via a powerful plugin, TRAIIN AGENT enables ElizaOS agents to automatically sample outputs for HITL tasks: passively for QA, or as blocking moderation checks, ensuring safety and alignment in real time. Developers can customize tasks and validator criteria through ElizaOS’s flexible API, making TRAIIN AGENT a seamless fit for any enterprise workflow.

Raiinmaker’s own AI Agent, Chief Raiin, showcases TRAIIN AGENT’s potential. Available on social platforms and the Raiinmaker app, Chief Raiin fuses spiritual wisdom with blockchain analytics to guide users and monitor tasks. Soon, Chief Raiin will evolve into a beacon of ethical AI, powered by a mission-driven intelligence core and ElizaOS’s agentic connectivity.

J.D. Seraphine, CEO and Founder of Raiinmaker said, “Today, anyone can launch an AI agent, but not everyone is asking how we ensure these AI agents meet the standards of trust, safety, and alignment that users expect. Through TRAIIN AGENT, we’re setting the foundation for a more responsible AI ecosystem, one that puts human values at the heart of every output. This is just the first of many steps in building a decentralized infrastructure for training and validating the next generation of AI.”

ElizaOS: A Catalyst for Ethical Innovation

The ElizaOS partnership amplifies TRAIIN AGENTS’s impact, leveraging its scalable infrastructure and vibrant developer community. Through the ElizaOS plugin, developers can integrate TRAIIN’s HITL validation seamlessly, automating QA or moderation tasks to ensure AI outputs are safe and reliable. ElizaOS’s API empowers users to define validation criteria and select trusted validators, making TRAIIN AGENT a plug-and-play solution for global AI development.

Logan Ryan Golema, Co-Founder and President of ElizaOS said, “We’re excited to see Raiinmaker’s decentralized infrastructure become available to our developer community through TRAIIN. This integration offers a clear path to improving how AI agents are moderated, trained, and improved over time with real humans in the loop, not just code. Raiinmaker is growing trust between humans and non-human intelligence which is essential to a peaceful future where AI agents have to live and breathe among us.”

A Vision for Decentralized AI

The system features AI Reputation scoring, metadata-backed verification, and cross-platform integration to deliver cost-effective, human-validated datasets at scale. By embedding human oversight, TRAIIN AGENT eliminates biases, corrects inaccuracies, and ensures AI Agents are grounded in transparency and fairness. This is Raiinmaker’s pledge: to lead the charge for ethical AI in a decentralized world.

Seraphine added, “With TRAIIN AGENT, we’re building an AI revolution that puts humanity at the center. Chief Raiin’s next chapter will show the world what’s possible when mission-driven AI meets decentralized connectivity.”
