Retention has provided another encouraging signal. Depending on the market, Yashin says day-one, day-seven and day-30 retention can range from around the crash-game benchmark to between five and 10 times higher. The number of rounds played during a session can also be significantly greater.
The explanation, he believes, comes back to the behaviour that inspired Swipe Games in the first place. Crash players may experience a different outcome each time, but visually they repeatedly encounter much the same thing.

1spin4win has timed a new beer-festival slot, Welcome to Octoberfest, to land alongside the real-world Oktoberfest season. It extends a recurring theme the studio comes back to each year.
The significance here is less about the individual game than about what it confirms. 1spin4win is running a deliberate, calendar-driven release model, not treating seasonal themes as one-off novelties.
Seasonal releases are an important part of the studio’s content strategy. 1spin4win regularly builds games inspired by international celebrations, among them Christmas, New Year, St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and Oktoberfest.
