Story to share

Quick Bet Feature: A Design Thinking Journey

As we design World Entertainment from the ground up, this is one of these stories that highlighted the importance of design thinking. It all began with...







 a simple request from our super users:

“Have a quick bet feature on lobby for rapid betting, even on multiple tables simultaneously.”









1st Iteration: Bet Area on Lobby


We initially placed the full bet area on the lobby, allowing for quick bets without entering individual games. However, user testing revealed that the abundance of bet items created a visual distraction, making it difficult for players to focus and place bets rapidly.




Iteration 1



2nd Iteration:
Simplified Bet Area on Lobby

We simplified the bet area, highlighting only the most essential items. While this improved visual clarity, it introduced two usability issues. 
Players were confused about the game tile's functionality, mistakenly thinking that the "Quick Bet" button was the only actionable element. 
Additionally, users still needed to make at least three clicks to place a bet, which, according to feedback, was not quick enough for this feature.




Iteration 2: Hover on to game tiles will show up “Quick Bet” button, feels like it’s only actionable item.



The Winning Solution:
A Dedicated Quick Bet Game: Multi-Table Game

Returning to the core need for speed, we created a brand new game specifically designed for quick betting. This game showcased all game’s bet areas simultaneously, eliminating the need for players to click for specific table. Player can freely place bets on multiple table within seconds.

The result was a streamlined experience that significantly increased bet turnover by 24%.



Multi-table game made it super easy to place bets on multiple table rapidly and effortlessly.



Outcome


The "Quick Bet" feature demonstrates the importance of user-centric design and data-driven decision-making. Through iterative refinement, we achieved a remarkable 24% increase in bet turnover.

Key OutcomesEnables super users to place bets quickly and efficiently
Supports multiple table betting
Simplifies the betting process by eliminating unnecessary steps
Increases bet turnover by providing a more convenient and accessible betting experience

Always dig into the "why" behind user feature requests.
The more we understand their needs, the better we can meet them.
