Why New Releases Are Hard to Compare
Gap Between #1 and #5:
- overall ranking — around 23%
- new-release ranking — around 14%
What the Ranking Actually Measures
Visibility Can Be Influenced by:
- operator integrations
- lobby positioning
- homepage placement
- promotional campaigns
- operator portfolio decisions
- time in monitoring
It Does not Measure:
- betting volume
- GGR
- player numbers
- conversion
- retention
Key Takeaways
- Pragmatic Play dominates: 7/10 overall and 6/10 new releases
- Franchises matter: its seven overall positions come from only four game series
- New-release visibility is concentrated: three providers control the entire Top 10
- Visibility ≠ demand: the ranking primarily reflects distribution and placement
Casino Market has summarised the study’s key findings. Along with these insights, we can help clients integrate the hits and adapt them for specific GEOs.
General Top 10: Dominance of 4 Franchises
The following solutions occupied the leading positions:
- Gates of Olympus — 198,587 appearances.
- Aviator — 176,581.
- Crazy Time — 164,731.
- Gates of Olympus 1000 — 156,048.
- Big Bass Splash — 152,094.
- Lightning Roulette — 149,625.
- Sweet Bonanza — 144,698.
- Gates of Olympus Super Scatter — 144,672.
- Sugar Rush 1000 — 134,790.
- Sweet Bonanza 1000 — 134,188.
Pragmatic Play secured 7 out of the 10 spots, with all included releases belonging to just 4 series. The Gates of Olympus franchise is particularly notable, with 3 versions in the top 10. Sweet Bonanza is represented by 2 editions, while Big Bass Splash and Sugar Rush each have one entry.
The remaining 3 positions went to Spribe for its famous crash-style bestseller and to Evolution for 2 signature gaming shows. All 3 products are well established in the industry and serve as flagship titles for their respective developers.
Best New Releases: Effect of Availability Duration
A separate ranking highlights content introduced this year in spring and June. The top 10 novelties are as follows:
- Dragon Pots Megaways — 51,041 appearances (added May 4th).
- Sanatorium Secrets — 48,779 (May 14th).
- Monopoly Roulette — 46,340 (June 9th).
- Caishen’s Cash Pots — 44,850 (May 14th).
- Rise of Fortuna — 43,684 (May 14th).
- Red Baron — 40,910 (May 11th).
- 3 Cursed Chests: Hold and Win — 38,446 (May 22nd).
- Bear Crazy — 38,295 (May 14th).
- Joker’s Revenge — 38,045 (May 14th).
- Super Gummy Strike — 34,903 (May 11th).
Despite a nearly month-long gap between the launches of the 1st and 3rd products, the latter nearly matched the leader’s performance. Here, a correlation is evident between a release’s performance and how long it has been present in the industry.
Among providers, Pragmatic again holds a clear advantage, occupying 6 of the 10 spots. Meanwhile, Hacksaw and Evolution each secured 2 positions.
The performance gap between 1st and 5th place is about 14%, while in the general list, it reaches 23%. Nevertheless, this comparison does not account for how long releases have been on the market: a hit from early May has had more time to gain appearances than one from June.
What the Ranking Actually Demonstrates
The number of displays should not be viewed as a direct measure of popularity. Both lists are based on whether a title is shown in an operator's lobby, rather than on user clicks or bets placed.
Results can be influenced by:
- product integration on the portal;
- participation in promotional campaigns;
- the length of time a release has been tracked;
- placement on the homepage and in subcategories;
- specific decisions regarding content selection and visibility.
Notably, eGaming Monitor’s metrics claim nothing about wagering volume, platform revenue, or customer numbers. Furthermore, the period a solution has been on the market is not standardised. Consequently, an earlier launch holds an advantage over a later one.
Visibility as an Initial Competitive Edge
High placement frequency helps a title catch the audience’s eye more quickly. In the new-content ranking, Pragmatic, Hacksaw, and Evolution shared all 10 spots. This presence helps their releases reach a broad audience shortly after launches.
Subsequent performance depends on player reaction and the product’s characteristics. More appearances do not guarantee that gamblers will choose the game.
What Making It to the Top List Really Means
The phrase “a title bursts into the rankings” primarily indicates the scale of its distribution across operators. This metric reflects visibility, not audience demand.
To gauge a release’s true popularity, operators should look at other indicators, such as betting volume, user activity, and retention. eGaming Monitor’s study is not focused on these measures.
