Slots Tracker: NetEnt’s five-star feeling after topping February charts
Starburst seals five consecutive months in first place as Play’n GO’s Book of Dead remains second
NetEnt’s Starburst continues its dominance of iGaming Tracker’s rankings after topping the charts for a fifth consecutive month.
Book of Dead by Play’n GO, which was shunted into second place following the algorithmic reshuffle in October 2020, remained in the silver medal position for February.
Wolf Gold by Pragmatic Play leapt four places into third place in February, with Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza remaining in fourth.
Red Tiger’s Gonzo’s Quest Megaways slipped two places from third to fifth.
There were six new entrants into the February rankings, including NetEnt’s Fruit Shop Megaways, which finished highest in sixth place, Pearfiction’s Chicago Gold and Red Tiger’s Piggy Riches Megaways.
NetEnt’s Twin Spin Megaways, which finished in ninth 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 and so are live casino games.
