But according to a YouGuv survey, German millennials are the exact opposite because they love slots.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned by Deutscher Spielbankenverband (DSbV), YouGuv&#8217;s research shows that 33% of the country&#8217;s 80.6 million residents have placed a casino bet at least once in their lifetime. Of this amount, 39% of those who play casino games are male while the other 28% are women.<\/p>\n<p>Another finding from the study reveals that 66% of gamblers aged 29 or younger (millennials) prefer slots over other casino games. No other casino game even came close among German millennials.<\/p>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve discussed before, American casinos have complained greatly about the lack of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/what-can-slots-do-to-attract-millennials\/\">millennials on their slot machines<\/a>. It&#8217;s unclear if German casinos are doing something differently, or if it&#8217;s just a cultural difference in German youth.<\/p>\n<p>Going back to the YouGuv research, Germany&#8217;s total population sees roulette as the most-popular game, with 63% of voters saying that they&#8217;ve bet on the game before. In contrast, only 50% of the country has placed a slots wager before.<\/p>\n<p>Other findings include that men are 53% more likely to choose slots first, compared to 43% of women who voted the same. 18% of men see blackjack as their top choice, versus 12% of women. 8% of males like poker the most, as opposed to 4% of females.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/german-casino-300x165.jpg\" alt=\"german-casino\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/german-casino-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/german-casino.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>One more finding from YouGuv is that 67% of Germans don&#8217;t believe that hot streaks influence the results of casino games. This shows a change in beliefs since past generations have used hot streaks to determine their betting patterns.<\/p>\n<p>DSbV CEO Otto Wolferding points out that, according to his company&#8217;s commissioned study, casino gaming has a \u201chigh acceptance among younger citizens.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Wolferding&#8217;s comments stand in opposition to Germany&#8217;s federal health ministry, which produced a study showing that German millennials are more interested in online gaming than land-based casinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much has been made about how American millennials aren&#8217;t playing slot machines.
