In December, Pragmatic Play achieved a breakthrough in the EGR Slots Tracker by disrupting the NetEnt and Play’n GO duopoly. Big Bass Bonanza claimed the top spot, displacing Play’n GO’s Book of Dead, which slipped to fifth place from its November lead.

NetEnt’s Starburst moved to second place, and Pragmatic Play titles strategically filled the void. Sweet Bonanza rose to third place, and Big Bass Splash climbed to fourth, underlining Pragmatic Play’s growing influence.

Gates of Olympus maintained sixth place, demonstrating consistent performance, while Sugar Rush entered the top 10 at eighth.

Playtech’s Sahara Riches: Cash Collect notably jumped from spot 144 to 16th place, indicating a substantial increase in player engagement.

Overall, these shifts underscore Pragmatic Play’s emergence as a significant player in the dynamic online slot landscape.

Pragmatic Play’s Christmas Big Bass Bonanza and Triple Edge Gaming’s Rising Rewards made significant climbs in the EGR Slots Tracker, securing the 18th and 12th positions, respectively.

Conversely, NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest, once ranked 16th, dropped out of the top 20, highlighting the dynamic nature of slot popularity.
