The Amsterdam Affiliate Conference begins tomorrow and runs until Sunday at the Amsterdam Rai convention centre. Tuma will be in attendance to meet online casino affiliates, show off new games and discuss revenue opportunities with Slotland.com and its instant-play three-dimensional sister site WinADay.com.

“I love going to casino affiliate conferences because they’re a great chance to get face to face with some of the affiliates we’ve been partnered with practically since the dawn of the Internet,” said Tuma.

“Since we have a variety of products that convert exceptionally well and retain players for longer than many online casinos have been in business, it’s always a pleasure to talk to new business partners. However, I must say I’m also really looking forward to winning the ASOP.”

Tuma revealed that he will also be talking to affiliates and prospective partners about new markets for Slotland.com while showing off its recently launched Spanish site, Es.Slotland.com.

“A lot of affiliates are looking for ways to break into the growing Spanish market these days,” said Tuma.

“We haven’t promoted it a lot yet so many of them are surprised when I show them our fully developed Spanish site.”

WinADay.com has added three new slot games to its repertoire since it exhibited at CAP Euro Barcelona in September including Slot-O-Matic, a simple one-payline title that has proved very popular. In stark contrast, the 21-payline Vegas Mania is very complex and was released only this month. Tuma revealed that he would be showing off the seven unique games currently offered at WinADay.com alongside the 16 available at Slotland.com and Es.Slotland.com using large touchscreen monitors.

Tuma also announced that he and his associates have arranged a special gift of $100 for any new affiliates that would like to take Slotland.com and WinADay.com’s one-of-a-kind games for a spin.

“This isn’t a deposit bonus,” said Tuma.

“There’s no deposit required to claim it. Affiliates just need to register with Slotland Affiliates. We’ll put $50 in their Slotland.com account and $50 in their WinADay.com account so they can see why our games are so popular with so many players all over the world. Winnings are theirs to keep.”
