Slots Tracker: Five-star feeling for Play’n GO as it tops rankings once again
Book of Dead the title to beat as Pragmatic Play games jostle for position and dominate new release table
Play’n GO’s Book of Dead has retained its position atop the iGaming Tracker rankings for a fifth month in a row.
The title remains in the gold medal position ahead of long-term rival Starburst by NetEnt, which continues to occupy second place in the rankings.
Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza and Big Bass Bonanza continue to trade places, with Sweet Bonanza returning to third place after Big Bass Bonanza knocked it off the podium in September.
Play’n GO’s Legacy of Dead leapfrogged Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus into fifth place.
There were four new entries in the October rankings including Relax Gaming’s Money Train 3 in eighth and Playtech’s O’Reilly’s Riches Gold Hit in ninth.
Pragmatic Play’s Book of Golden Sands in 12th was the highest-ranking title from September to fall out of the rankings completely.
The iGaming Tracker also detailed the top-ranking new slots released in September and October.
Relax Gaming’s Money Train 3 finished in the top spot of the rankings for new games, following its 12 September release.
Pragmatic Play dominated the rankings for new games after its titles occupied the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth spots.
Muertos Multiplier Megaways finished in second having been released on 27 September while stablemate John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin came in third after its release on 20 September.
The game with the latest release date to secure a spot in the top 20 was 7 Gold Gigablox by 4ThePlayer (13 October) after finishing in seventh place.
The iGaming Tracker has changed its methodology of data collection and grading of games since October 2020 to give a fairer and broader reflection of the rankings.
Games are ranked by their position throughout the month on 467 of the largest regulated online casino sites in Europe. Only the ‘main’ page of the casinos is taken into account and the top 10 most prominent positions on those pages.
The previous number of sites the iGaming Tracker took into account was just 50.
The iGaming Tracker compiles the slots rankings by tracking casino sites across 24 regulated European countries including the UK, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Norway and Denmark.
Each casino page is tracked every day over the month as well as which game occupies each position. Each position is weighted so the top positions on the page have a higher weighting than those on the bottom of the page.
Likewise, the pages, sites and countries are weighted to give a fairer view on the success of casino games.
Table games such as roulette and blackjack are excluded from the rankings, as are live casino games.
