Slots Tracker: Play’n GO starts Q2 with seventh straight first-place finish
Book of Dead remains the title to beat as Pragmatic Play games jostle for a podium place
Play’n GO’s Book of Dead kicked off Q2 2022 in style by securing a seventh consecutive month at the top of the iGaming Tracker slot rankings.
The top slot continued to hold off NetEnt’s Starburst, which has held firmly onto second place since October 2021.
Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play jumped into third place after switching positions with fellow Pragmatic Play title Sweet Bonanza.
Play’n GO’s Legacy of Dead retained its place in fifth, while Pragmatic Play’s Wolf Gold and Bigger Bass Bonanza were unmoved in sixth and seventh, respectively.
NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest jumped three places to break into the top 10 slots after finishing ninth in April.
Gameburger Studios’ 9 Pots of Gold suffered the biggest downturn, dropping from ninth place to 11th.
There were three new entrants in the April rankings, including Gameburger Studios’ Fishin Pots of Gold.
iGaming Tracker also detailed the top-ranking new slots released in March and April.
Snowborn Games’ Masters of Valhalla secured top spot in the new games rankings having gone live on 5 March.
Cash ‘N Riches Megaways by Triple Edge Studios finished in second place, and Pragmatic Play’s Drill That Gold came in third.
The game with the latest release date to secure a spot in the top 20 was Playtech’s Clover Gold (released 7 April) after finishing in ninth 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 25 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 the positions 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.
