DemoSlot Embed, step by step
Other sites show free slot demos from the DemoSlot catalogue on their own pages. Under every game sits a link back to demoslot.com: that link is what the partner gives in return. This tour follows one partner from the application to the statistics, with the real screens of the product.
What the partner does
What DemoSlot runs
Every screen below is the product itself: the same pages, styles and scripts as on demoslot.com, filled with example partners and figures. Click through them freely; nothing is saved. The games are real.
The result: see it working
What a partner ends up with: two example partner sites, connected the two ways DemoSlot Embed offers, one on WordPress and one without it. The sites are made up; the games in them are real. Press Play on any of them.
Checking where the games start from…
On WordPress, with the plugin
A real WordPress site with our plugin, running right in your browser, and you are its admin. The plugin is connected with the partner's key and has loaded the games. A page holds one game and a grid of six, added with shortcodes: short lines such as [demoslot_game game="starburst"] that WordPress turns into the player. Switch between the plugin's settings, the editor and the page, or change anything: it is your own copy, gone when you leave.
A real WordPress starts in your browser. It takes about half a minute and downloads about 30 MB, once.

Free Slots Corner is a site without WordPress. Its owner found three games in the DemoSlot account, copied a ready code for each and pasted it into the page: a frame with the game, and the credit link under it. Nothing is installed.
Apply
A site owner opens Become a partner, gives the addresses of the site (up to three), the country and whether it runs on WordPress. The form checks every field as it is filled in, in each of the site's six languages.
Approval and key
The application waits on the Partners screen of our admin, with its sites, country and a warning when another partner shares the owner or a site. Approve creates the partner's account and emails the key: the partner's password to the catalogue, valid only on the partner's own sites. Reject asks first, in the card.
Partner account
The partner signs in to demoslot.com and opens the DemoSlot Embed tab of the account. New partners get four setup steps. Once the first play is counted, the tab opens on the statistics: the month's plays, plays per day, the top games and countries, and a search that gives the code of any game. From SlotsLaunch helps sites that used SlotsLaunch, a similar service, to move their games over.
Connect the site
A WordPress site installs the DemoSlot Embed plugin, pastes the key and adds games with the Demo Game and Game Grid blocks or with shortcodes. The plugin keeps its own copy of the game list and the pictures on the partner's site, so its pages stay fast, and updates it every day. A site moving from SlotsLaunch gets a tool that swaps the old games for DemoSlot ones. Any other site copies a ready code of a game from the account, as Free Slots Corner did.
Connect one yourself: below is a fresh WordPress with the plugin installed and no key yet. Start it, paste the key into API key and press Save changes. The plugin checks the key with DemoSlot and loads the games; Page already holds the shortcodes and shows its games once they are loaded.

A second, separate WordPress: the plugin is installed, the key is not. It takes about half a minute and about 30 MB to start.
First play

Running the network
Our admin opens on an overview of the network. Every screen begins with what waits for a decision on it: applications, logos to review, studios still in test, failed imports. Studios are switched off, to test partners only, or on for everyone; games are matched with our slot pages; the daily update reads the studios' sites.
For developers
The plugin reads the game list through an API, and so can any developer of a partner site: a fixed address that answers with data instead of a page. With the partner's key it gives all the games, one game, the studios, and the games changed since a date. It answers up to 60 requests a minute per key. This is the answer for one game:
{
"name": "Starburst",
"provider": "NetEnt",
"type": "slot",
"thumb": "https://www.demoslot.com/…/netent/starburst.webp",
"embed_url": "https://www.demoslot.com/embed/starburst/?key={key}&lang={lang}",
"languages": ["en", "de", "pt", "es", "th", "id"],
"available": true
}
Without any code at all, WordPress embeds a game from its address: pasting the address of a game page of demoslot.com into a post shows the game with its credit link, even without the plugin. That is oEmbed, a standard WordPress already supports.
