Slots Tracker: Pragmatic Play holds on to top spot as NetEnt charges back
Big Bass Bonanza remains the game to beat, while two of the supplier’s other titles smash into top 20
Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play kicked off 2025 by holding onto the top spot in January’s EGR Slots Tracker after closing out 2024 in the lead.
However, the supplier was booted out of second place by NetEnt’s Starburst, which rose from fourth to take the silver medal position in January.
Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Splash slipped one place to third, while Play’n GO’s Book of Dead also dropped one spot to come fourth.
Pragmatic Play games still dominated in the top 10, with Gates of Olympus (fifth), Sweet Bonanza (sixth) and Gates of Olympus 1,000 (eighth) all in the top half of the table.
The biggest mover last month was Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe, which leapt from 47th to 19th place, while stablemate Sweet Bonanza 1,000 rose eight spots to 12th.
The supplier’s strong start to the year also saw Chilli Heat jump into the top 20, moving up one spot from December.
In total, Pragmatic Play has eight games in the top 20. No other supplier has more than two.
Playtech’s Queen of the Pyramids Mega Cash Collect was the highest-ranking title from December (at 17th) to fall out of the top 20 completely in January.
Elsewhere, eGaming Monitor (EGM) data revealed the top-ranking new slots released since 1 November 2024.
Fortune Factory Studios’ Gold Blitz Ultimate took the top spot in January following its 19 December release.
Pragmatic Play’s Money Stacks Megaways (20 December release) and Gates of Olympus Xmas 1,000 by Pragmatic Play (3 December) took the silver and bronze medals, respectively, in the new games rankings.
Hacksaw Gaming’s Le Viking and Pragmatic Play’s Aztec Gems Megaways were the titles with the latest release date (16 January) to make it into the top 20.
