March’s monthly online gaming performance report, crafted by research powerhouses Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG) and Fantini Research, has been unveiled. While player preferences experienced subtle shifts during this period, the top 25 list from EKG predominantly features familiar slots from previous months.

Notably, Crash Eruption, crafted by software developer IGT, retains its throne as the most sought-after game for the second consecutive month. However, buffalo-themed slots, once stalwarts in the top five games, have ceded their positions in EKG’s latest report.

Over the past five months, titles like Buffalo Stampede, Blazing Bison Gold Blitz and Mighty Buffalo reigned supreme, with several clinching the coveted spot in December and January. The ubiquity of buffalo-themed slots across almost all online casinos in Michigan previously worked in their favor.

The monthly EKG report offers a glimpse into prevailing trends rather than an exhaustive analysis of Michigan’s iGaming market. Compiled from data contributed by over 30 online casinos, the report encapsulates over 65% of the gross gaming revenue from six key US iGaming markets, including Michigan.

March’s EKG top 5 list presents a surprising entrant: Jin Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasures, securing the fourth spot. While not a household name, this Chinese-themed slot has gained traction among Michigan’s leading operators like BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetRivers and Caesars Palace Online Casino.

Crafted by Light & Magic, Jin Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasures is a classic land-based casino game reimagined for the online world. It unfolds on a 5×3 grid with 243 fixed pay lines and promises a colossal payout potential of 200,000 times the stake.

Following closely behind is Capital Gains, clinching the second-best slot position, while 88 Fortunes makes a recurring appearance, this time ranking as the third-best game in the top 25 list.

Delving into the report, it’s evident that ancient civilizations hold sway in Michigan, with Cleopatra from IGT securing the fifth-best slot. Most games featured in the EKG report are eligible for lucrative Michigan online casino promotions, including enticing welcome bonuses, further enhancing their allure to players.

Amidst table games, Blackjack maintains its steadfast reign, boasting three variants within the coveted top 5 positions.

Evolution Gaming’s live dealer rendition emerges as a frontrunner, signaling the growing preference for immersive gaming experiences. Meanwhile, IGT’s Blackjack iteration emerges as the undisputed champion, reigning supreme as March’s most sought-after table game.

However, amidst Blackjack’s dominance, two contenders carve out their niche. Craps and American Roulette boldly assert their presence, securing the second and third positions, respectively.

Adding a layer of intrigue, the EKG report sheds light on an intriguing statistic: the average wager on table games in March ranged from a modest $6 to a staggering $488. This diverse spectrum underscores the dynamic nature of player preferences and betting behaviors within Michigan’s iGaming landscape.
