Slots Tracker: Play’n GO makes it five in a row atop iGaming Tracker rankings
Book of Dead continues to fend off competition from Starburst as top four slots remain unmoved in February
Book of Dead by Play’n GO held off NetEnt’s Starburst for the fifth consecutive month to once again top the iGaming Tracker rankings.
Book of Dead replaced Starburst as the top slot in October 2021 after a year-long grip on the top spot from the latter and has yet to relinquish the position.
Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza remained in third while the supplier’s Sweet Bonanza title was also unmoved from January after solidifying its fourth place position.
Play’n GO’s Legacy of Dead jumped three places to finish February in fifth place while Pragmatic Play’s Wolf Gold and Bigger Bass Bonanza swapped places to finish sixth and seventh, respectively.
Bonanza by Evolution fell to 10th place after finishing fifth in January as Eye of Horus by Blueprint suffered the biggest downturn dropping from 11th to 18th
There were four new entrants in the February rankings including Microgaming’s Fishin Pots of Gold in eighth and Play’n GO’s Gigantoonz in 13th.
Blueprint’s Fishin Frenzy: The Big Catch, which was 15th in February, was the highest-ranking title to fall out of the rankings completely.
iGaming Tracker has also detailed the top-ranking new slots that were released in January and February.
Play’n GO’s Gigantoonz secured top spot in the new games rankings having gone live on 18 January.
Pragmatic Play landed a second and third place double with its Colossal Cash Zone and Gates of Valhalla titles finishing in the podium positions.
The game with the latest release date to secure a spot in the top 20 was Blueprint’s Fishin Frenzy Fortune Spin (17 February) after finishing in 11th 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.
