Supplier now boasts two titles in the top 10 while a third game charged into the table as a rank outsider as Pragmatic Play maintains its dominance.
The EGR Slots Tracker kicked off Q4 with the podium holders retaining their positions and a challenger in the shape of Fortune Factory Studios making waves.

Fortune Factory Studios’ good form in October continued as Gold Blitz Extreme smashed into 10th place having finished in 20th in September.
