Games on the rise
A few returning games made huge leaps to get back to the spotlight in September. Most notably, Hard Rock Gold Blitz grew its audience by 70% to re-enter the spotlight, landing at No. 9. Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand also jumped ten positions to get to No. 8.
New games also had a big month this September. Ball X Multi-Drop and 5 Perfect Diamonds, which arrived in the second half of the month, shot to the top 15 within days, occupying the 11th and 14th positions, respectively. Additionally, Marlin Masters OG also reached the top 20 within two weeks.
Interestingly, players are already getting into the spooky season. Notably, Halloween Wins 3 rose from outside the top 200 to the top 65 – it will likely climb even higher as the season kicks in.
Games that have cooled off
One interesting thing about new releases is that some start fast and then cool off quickly. In classic fashion, August newcomers Shark Pop: Coin Collect and 4 Crazy Cluckers shot to the top 10 last month but now sit outside the top 40. However, those games usually bounce back at some point.
Other games that have cooled off include Oink Oink Oink, which fell from No. 2 to outside the top 30, and Money Link Moon Goddess, which fell from No. 4 to outside the top 20. Wrappin’ Gold, which shot to the top 20 in August, now sits outside the top 200.
Hidden gems worth checking out
While some games never make it to the leaderboard, they still have small but dedicated audiences, which is how you know that they are likely hidden gems. These are games definitely worth trying out.
Slingo games dominate this category, with five of the 12 most dedicated players focusing on Slingo titles. Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania Slingo is one good example – many players who stumbled upon it in September tried it out again about four different days that month, more than double the typical game. Slingo DaVinci Diamond also made a similar mark, with players trying it out on four different days.
Among table games, Game King Video Poker logged more than three times the typical number of rounds in September. Moreover, its audience grew by about a third from August.
Crossing over to live dealer games, Three Card Poker by Evolution saw players average close to three separate days of playing. The game also maintained a steady audience in both states.
What to play in October
Three themes will dominate the gaming scene in October: Halloween, football, and hunting. Ideally, games that bring out the best of these themes will see an increase in audience.
For Halloween, the games to watch include Ghost Booster GO Guaranteed, which shot to the top 15 in the first month, and Boo Bucks Bonus Wheel, which reached the top 25 in just over two weeks. Other notable titles include Boo Bucks Purranormal, a slot title, and Boo Bucks Blackjack if you prefer table games.
August is also the season for the NFL and college football. There are plenty of titles to enjoy in this category. One interesting game is Touchdown Multidrop. For hunters, Duck Hunters is a fun game to try out.
