Slots Tracker: Play’n GO retains top spot as Pragmatic Play title soars
Book of Dead holds on at top of table while two new games break into the iGaming Tracker’s top 20 slots for July
Play’n Go’s Book of Dead retained its gold medal position in the iGaming Tracker rankings in July as the top four slots remained unmoved.
Starburst by NetEnt remained in second, having jumped into first place in May, before subsequently losing out to its long-time rival Book of Dead.
Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza and Sweet Bonanza were unmoved in third and fourth, respectively.
Big Bass Splash by Pragmatic Play jumped an impressive 11 places in July from 16th to fifth, while its stablemate Gate of Olympus slipped one position from fifth to sixth.
There were two new entries in the rankings in July in the shape of Snowborn Games’ Pile ‘Em Up and Pragmatic Play’s Sugar Rush.
Play’n GO’s Rise of Olympus was the highest-ranking title from June (15th) to fall out of the rankings completely.
The iGaming Tracker also detailed the top-ranking new slots released in June and July.
Bomb Bonanza by Pragmatic Play finished top of the pile when it came to new games, following its 23 June release.
Play’n GO’s Merlin’s Grimoire came second while Red Tiger’s Apache Way ended in third, having been released on 16 June and 24 June, respectively.
The game with the latest release date to secure a spot in the top 20 was 7s Deluxe Wild Fortune Play by Blueprint (7 July) after finishing in 11th 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 more than 500 of the largest 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 more than 26 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.
