Pennsylvania 

Online casinos in Pennsylvania registered somewhat erratic gaming trends for August, with certain games making huge leaps to enter the top-10 leaderboard. The most popular game, Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania Slingo, jumped ten spots to get to the top. In third place is 10,000 Wonders 10K Ways, which registered the biggest movement by jumping 46 spots all the way from #49. Fortune Coin also made a considerable leap, from #34 to #5, jumping 29 positions. 

Huff N’ Even More Puff retained its place on the top-10 leaderboard, this time jumping four places to #4. Interestingly, two new games made it to the leaderboard, including Big Money Frenzy and Super Jackpot Wild Gems. 

New Jersey 

Over in New Jersey, the top-10 leaderboard also saw some huge changes, with several new games making it to the list. The new #1 game is Cash Eruption High Stakes, which jumped 14 positions to get there. Interestingly, July’s top game, Piggy Payouts Buster LuckyTrap, is off the leaderboard. The second and third spots also feature new titles, 7’s Fire Blitz Hotstepper Jackpot Roytale Express and Pop-A-Shot LuckyTap. Notable new entries include Dubble Bubble LuckyTap at #7 and Hypernova Megaways at #10. 

Michigan 

Trends in online casinos in Michigan didn’t change much in August, with many games only moving a few spots. Hypernova Megaways is the top game, moving only one spot from #2, where it was replaced by Cash Eruption, which climbed two spots to get there. The #3 game is a new entry, Piggy Payouts Bank Buster LuckyTap, which featured prominently in New Jersey in July. 

Interestingly, Hypernova Megaways stands out considering that it also ranks prominently in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Overall, the standout game is Extra Chilli, which jumped 14 spots to land at #8. 

West Virginia 

bet365 is still relatively new in The Mountain State, having launched on August 27. While it is still too early to analyze trends, it is still worth noting that the operator has already paid out almost $10,000 following 22 jackpot wins there. 

Canada 

Canada has also seen some major changes. Area Link Phoenix Firestorm, the previous #1, is now #2 – however, it remains the top game in Ontario. It was replaced by Sweet Rush Bonanza, which jumped a whopping 16 spots to occupy the #1 position. At #3 sits Temple Tumble, which jumped 11 spots, while at #4 and #5 sit Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and bet365’s very own High Flyer. 

The frenzied trend reflects in Ontario and Alberta, too. In Ontario, three new titles occupy the top-10 leaderboard: Pop-A-Shot LuckyTap at #5, Great Rhino Megaways at #7, and Triple Gold at #9. Over in Alberta, a relatively new market, Pragmatic Play’s Fortune of Olympus jumped an impressive 17 positions to occupy the #1 spot. 

Global Game 

The most popular game at bet365 on a global scale is Push Gaming’s Fire Cash Push Ways. This game ranks in the #1 position across most international jurisdictions, with its popularity mostly driven by its instant-win collection and the developer’s unique “Push Ways” mechanic. 

Luke Rushton, bet365 Gaming Product Manager, said, “Fire Cash Push Ways has been a standout success since its exclusive launch on bet365, delivering multi-market success and proving popular with our global customer base. The distinctive visual style and production quality that Push Gaming is renowned for have helped establish the title as one of the strongest performing new releases in August. We’re delighted with the results to date and believe the game’s early success is a reflection of both Push Gaming’s ability to create premium content and our commitment to bringing world-class exclusive experiences to bet365 customers.”
