Liftoff increases Viva Slots Vegas game plays by 588% for Rocket Games

Viva Slots Vegas experiences 140% increase
in install-to-action rate

The ChallengeRocket Games, one of the largest independent social casino game developers, employed Liftoff to boost the amount of engaged users who played their free mobile classic casino game, Viva Slots Vegas.

The SolutionAfter trying multiple vendors, Liftoff won the trust of Rocket Games to run mobile user acquisition campaigns. The main KPIs measured were Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) within a few days of a new app install and user retention rates (opening and playing Viva Slots Vegas).

Postback data on installs and in-app events from adjust, a leading mobile attribution and marketing analytics platform, were sent to Liftoff. Proprietary machine learning technology uses this data to define Viva Slots Vegas’ most engaged players on iOS and create initial lookalike profiles.

Liftoff also collaborated with Rocket Games to A/B test Dynamic Ads. We built out and optimized animated playable interstitial ads, banner ads, and native ads to learn which designs and messaging resonated best with the most engaged players.

We really like Liftoff as a partner. Their creative team is great and have consistently delivered strong performance while keeping cost down. Suman Som · User Acquisition, Rocket Games
