Description
Launch a Jackpot competition where players activate a slot machine to find out immediately whether or not they have won a reward. To win, 3 identical symbols must line up in the slot machine. This game allows you to showcase your products through the rewards won, while boosting traffic on your channels thanks to the attractiveness of this type of mechanism. You can also give away discount vouchers via instant wins so that players can then shop on your merchant site.
Test this mechanism and download the documentation (assets, psd templates, renderings).
Configuration stages
To find out more about the very first steps in creating a campaign, we recommend that you start with the following article: General guide to a marketing campaign.
The Jackpot is made up of the following sections
Settings: to determine the general parameters of your campaign.
Home screen: to import the legal documentation for your game (rules, privacy policy, etc.) and set the parameters for the home page.
Registration form: to choose the fields for your form and set its design parameters.
Concept: to define the parameters of the game and its design.
Publication: to activate and distribute your campaign to your audience.
To see the different options available for each section, we recommend that you read the articles associated with them.
Jackpot design
Before getting started, we recommend that you read this article, which explains the basics of creating graphics on Socialshaker: Creating the graphics for your campaign. As with all the other mechanics, you have the choice of using the templates provided or importing your own template.
If you choose the latter option, you will need to create the following elements for this mechanic:
Campaign background (1920x1080px recommended).
Desktop homepage skin (810x700px recommended) and Mobile homepage skin (480×710px recommended).
Desktop (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended) form page skin.
Game page skin (810x700px recommended) - no Mobile image for this background, it will be resized automatically.
Image for sharing on social networks (810x700px recommended).
Skin for the ‘Thank you’ page (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended).
Note that you can use the campaign background as the default background for all pages on Mobile by checking the appropriate box :
Setting up a Jackpot (Concept section)
Rewards
The Jackpot works with the Instant Win system. To win rewards instantly during your campaign, you need to set them up first. To find out more about how to set up Instant Win rewards, we recommend you read this article.
Appearance
This module lets you import the game backgrounds, customise the rendering of your texts and buttons, and customise the images that will run in the slot machine.
How do I import my backgrounds?
The game background must be imported into the ‘Appearance’ section of the Jackpot. Only desktop backgrounds can be imported, and they will be automatically resized for display on mobile devices. If you wish, you can force the display of this specific background for the Mobile version by adjusting the settings in the ‘Configuration’ section of your campaign.
How do I customise the slot machine?
Customise the ‘Play’ button by choosing the text, the default appearance and the hover rendering.
Customise the 6 images that will scroll in the slot machine. Recommended dimensions: 140x140px (.png, .jpeg or .gif)
⚠️ Important: One of the 6 images you have set up will be randomly selected by the platform to be displayed three identical times in the event of a ‘Win’ scenario. You cannot choose which of these 6 images will be displayed three times in this case.
In the event of a ‘Won’ scenario, you must choose the colour and size of the reward text. The reward will appear on the ‘Won’ page (next step). As a reminder, you can set the reward parameters (text and image) in the ‘Instants’ section.
Shares
To find out how to organise the sharing of a quiz on social networks, we recommend that you read this article: Sharing your quiz on social networks.
Limits
To find out how to set one or more limits on your game, we recommend you read this article: How do I limit access to my campaign?
Data export
You can export 2 types of file containing participation data:
The participants export: includes the data of all participants in your campaign. To find out more, we recommend you read this article: Exporting data.
Winners export: includes information about the participant, the date and time they won the reward, and the corresponding reward won. This list can be found in the ‘Mechanics’ > ‘Instant’ > ‘Winner export’ section.
Results
You need to set the text and visuals of the Desktop and Mobile backgrounds for the two pages Won and Lost. You can also create one or more action buttons, with redirections to a merchant site for example.
Winner page
This page displays a title set in ‘Results’ > ‘Winner page’, then the image of the reward (set for each reward in the ‘Instant’ section) as well as the name of the reward (also set for each reward in the ‘Instant’ section) won by the player.
⚠️ Important: To test a winning instant and see how the ‘won’ page looks, we invite you to set up a test instant from the ‘Mechanics’ > ‘Instant’ section using classic generation (generate a single instant, on the dates and at the times of the test). Then test using the preview.
Here is an example of how the ‘won’ page looks:
Loser page
This page is the destination page for all players who have not won a reward. You can set the message you want (it will be the same for everyone). It can be a ‘you lost’ message, with or without a consolation reward (e.g. a discount code).
Q&A
How can I modify my campaign once it has been activated?
You can, of course, modify your campaign at any time - just make the changes you want and confirm them using the ‘Validate’ button at the bottom of the page.
Why do I see a series of numbers above the one-armed bandit?
This code is a security code required in the event of fraud. It fixes a player's participation, in the event of a screen copy of the game moment. It is not possible to delete these numbers.
How do I achieve a 100% winning Jackpot?
The platform does not allow you to set up a 100% win, as the mechanics are not suitable for this. A winning instant corresponds to an interval of time, and the first person to connect within this interval wins the instant.
But here's an alternative for your project:
If you wish, you can start by setting up rewards (larger rewards, for example) via the ‘Rewards’ module.
Secondly, for the consolation reward (e.g. a discount voucher), you can set up the ‘Lost’ page. In fact, all the people who don't win the large reward will go to the ‘you lost’ page, where you can set up a message like ‘you won a discount voucher’. NB: all ‘losers’ will have the same message and therefore the same consolation reward.
