Slots Tracker: NetEnt completes half-year sweep atop iGaming Tracker charts
Starburst seals six consecutive months in first place as Play’n GO’s Book of Dead remains the perennial challenger in second
NetEnt’s Starburst has secured a sixth consecutive month in first place in iGaming Tracker’s slot rankings, a position it has yet to relinquish following the algorithm reshuffle in October 2020.
Book of Dead by Play’n GO remains in second place and has done since October when it lost its spot in first.
Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza jumped one place to third, as did Red Tiger’s Gonzo’s Quest Megaways which moved from fifth to fourth.
Wolf Gold by Pragmatic Play slipped two places from third to fifth in the March rankings.
There were six new entrants into the March rankings, including NetEnt’s Dragons Fire Infinireels, which finished highest in 11th place, Pragmatic Play’s Fishin’ Reels and Play’n GO’s The Green Knight.
NetEnt’s Fruit Shop Megaways, which finished in sixth place in January, was the highest-ranking title to fall out of the rankings completely.
The iGaming Tracker has changed its methodology of data collection and ranking 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 24 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.
