Examining the 2023 online casino landscape and early 2024 trends reveals that slots still hold over 80% market dominance. However, there are notable shifts in the popularity of specific games. Leveraging data from its Game Aggregator, a leading hub for iGaming projects, SOFTSWISS shares insights gathered by analysing more than 300 clients and 16,500 games.

 

Slot Games

In 2023, slots consistently ranked as the most popular game category, both in terms of Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) and Total Bet Count, capturing 85.56% of the market. Although there was a slight dip to 83% at the beginning of 2024, the expectations are that slots’ popularity will stay above 80%.

Throughout 2023, Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza asserted their dominance, consistently holding top positions in the top 10 games. However, the landscape shifted in early 2024 when Push Gaming’s Retro Tapes ascended to the pinnacle, relegating the previous leaders to the second and third places.

 

Live Dealer Games

While slots dominate, the leaderboard also features other game types, reflecting diverse player preferences. Beyond individual titles, live dealer games emerge as a highly popular category following slots.

Distinguishing itself from slots, the live dealer game category attracts a different target audience. Players in this segment seek the atmosphere of a live casino and tend to place higher bets. For instance, the average Bet Sum in card games in 2023 was 49.95 euro, whereas in slots, it was only 0.75 euro.

Within this category, roulette and card games capture the spotlight, reflecting the enduring appeal and widespread popularity of classic casino offerings among players.

 

In Q1 2023, the live casino game Crazy Time held the third spot, slipping to the fourth by year-end. Yet, at the start of 2024, Prive Lounge Blackjack 5 outperformed it, securing a higher rank.

Playtech’s live roulette game, Roleta Brasileira, stood out in 2023, ranking high at the beginning and end of the year. Although its global position might change in early 2024, the game remains a top choice for players in Latin America, highlighting its ongoing popularity in that specific market.

 

Crash Games

The crash game category, emerging as the next most popular genre after live casino games in terms of GGR, showcases its appeal, with Aviator by Spribe leading the charge. This game notably ascended into the top three rankings in the last quarter of 2023 despite starting the year from the sixth place. However, by early 2024, Aviator saw a slight decline in popularity, returning to the sixth position, illustrating the dynamic nature of player preferences within the crash game category.

Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, comments: “Analysing just the first month of the year doesn’t provide the full picture, yet we do this to predict emerging trends. While slots continue to reign supreme in the gaming world, the diversity we see among the top-ranked games highlights the varied interests of our players. It emphasises the critical need to maintain a diverse portfolio that meets different layer preferences, ensuring a rich gaming experience. Adopting this strategy helps attract a wider audience and retain players by offering them various options, reducing the likelihood of them seeking alternatives.”

Million Games has released Coco Rush, a feature-driven video slot combining Cash Collect mechanics, RushReel bonuses and fixed jackpot functionality.

Developed in collaboration with Million Stars partner studio Yugo Workshop, Coco Rush introduces a vibrant island theme centred around the Golden Mask, a character that reflects the game’s dynamic and unpredictable gameplay.

The title is built on a 5×3 reel layout with 20 paylines and low volatility, offering accessible gameplay supported by strong feature frequency.

At the core of the game is the Mystery Mask mechanic, where all Mask Symbols transform at the end of each spin into either matching paying symbols or Coins and Collector symbols that trigger the Cash Collect Feature.

The Cash Collect Feature includes three fixed jackpots:

• Mega – 1000x base bet

• Major – 200x base bet

• Mini – 50x base bet

An additional RushReel feature can unlock during spins, awarding multipliers or extra Mask Symbols that enhance both base game and bonus payouts.

“Coco Rush is a great example of how our Million Stars partners continue to evolve and push their craft,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games.

“Yugo Workshop has taken proven mechanics and refined them into something that feels both familiar and fresh, witha clear focus on player engagement and repeat play. It’s exactly the kind of progression we want to support and bring to market.”

Coco Rush offers a maximum win potential of 5000x the bet and is now available for operators and aggregators via the Million Games distribution network.

Hölle Games has released its latest video slot Himmel & Hölle.

This 3×3 title positions an Angel on one side, and a Demon on the other with a tight 5 paylines for that medium-high volatility. A couple of nifty features are included too: players can win Respins with the Expanding Wilds feature. Land either of the Angel or Demon Wilds to trigger an expansion, and then a wheel game. That wheel game pays out up to 500x the bet, and there are also Ladder and Gamble mini-games available, for the more diabolical volatility hunters.

The game also features a thumping Eurodance styled soundtrack.

Lucifer the Light-Bringer and landlord of hell himself, said: “The team have blended two cosmological themes into one beautiful canvas – with top notch graphical fidelity and a very well balanced paytable, I could play this for eternity.”

Hölle Games is a fully independent “Made in Germany” video slots studio. With licences for MGA, Sweden, Greece, UK and ISO 27001 certification, they not only focus on providing “Classic” games German players love, such as Fruits, Bells XL and Höllische Sieben, but also produce a “Premium” series of slots with unique artwork and cutting-edge game concepts. These often carry distinctive German product names that most Germans will instantly recognise, such as “Holla die Waldfee”. Furthermore, Hölle Games has produced a new and unique game mechanic called “Bonus Spin”, a player friendly and compliant solution for the German tax regulation, which they have invited other studios to freely use.
