Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Hold & Spinner, previously in 11th place, was the highest-ranking title from June to fall out of the rankings.
Elsewhere, data revealed the top-ranking new slots released since 1 May 2023.
Fortune Factory Studios’ Blazing Bison Gold Blitz took top spot in July following its 16 May release.
Area Vegas Games’ Gold Rush Express (22 June release) and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme by Reel Kingdom (19 June release) took the silver and bronze medals, respectively, in the new games rankings.

In January 2023, EGR added new data partner eGaming Monitor (EGM) to track casino sites and help collate the monthly rankings.
EGM tracks game pages of more than 2,400 casino sites globally, with the European charts being based on the number of game tiles found for each game across operator sites in regulated markets.
EGM limits its tracking to just the main casino homepage of each site, with the tracker taking in slots, instants, scratchcards, slingo and crash games but excluding table games, live games, video poker, video bingo and others.
In July, EGM tracked 12,489 games from 380 studios in 29 European regulated markets including the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.
