The Most Popular Casino Games in India Revealed
India has emerged as a major market for online casino games, and a recent primary data-driven study by SevenJackpots, a leading casino comparison platform, has shed light on the preferences of Indian real-money gamers.
The study analyzed 10 months of data, from January 1 to October 31, 2022, and focused on active user sessions and turnovers at Casino Days, a popular international licensed casino among Indian players. The findings provide valuable insights into the most popular online casino games in India and the studios behind them.
Game Shows take the first place
Among the various categories of casino games, it was surprising to discover that game shows based on classic TV shows, such as the Wheel of Fortune and Deal or No Deal, emerged as the leaders in India. It was revealed that the most popular game show game was Crazy Time.
These live casino adaptations of popular game shows garnered the largest share of generated operator turnovers. The majority of these game shows were developed by the Evolution game studio, which has established its dominance in the Indian market.
The appeal of game shows lies in their ability to provide real-time excitement, virtual representation of social events, charismatic hosts, and easy-to-understand game rules. They also incorporate elements of skill, even if the knowledge required is minimal. The familiarity and entertainment value of game shows have contributed to their popularity among Indian players.
Roulette Games close second
Following game shows, the study found that roulette games ranked second in terms of popularity. Roulette, along with other iconic casino games like blackjack, baccarat, and slots, garnered significant attention from Indian players.
These games have been immortalized in films and books, further increasing their appeal. The study also highlighted the growing preference for live formats, as players seek an immersive experience that resembles a social event rather than a detached gaming experience.
Most Popular Game Title: Lightning Roulette
One of the most noteworthy findings of the study was the popularity of Lightning Roulette, a game that stands out in the roulette category. Lightning Roulette, developed by Evolution, has become one of the biggest live roulette tables in the industry.
This game offers a dynamic and visually appealing setup, with its unique features capturing the attention of Indian players. Its success is a testament to the convergence of tastes between global casino audiences and Indian players, who appreciate the combination of familiar game rules and innovative content.
Why are these the most popular Games?
The popularity of these games can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the live formats with live game hosts create an immersive experience that resembles an event rather than a solitary gaming session. Players enjoy the interactive and dynamic nature of these games, which provide opportunities for engagement and social interaction. Additionally, the incorporation of augmented/virtual reality features, multi-dimensional views, and in-game intervention methods adds to the participatory feeling and elevates the gaming experience.
Moreover, the leading game categories offer a balance between chance and skill, appealing to players who seek both excitement and the opportunity to make informed decisions. The presence of charismatic hosts, innovative game features, and various side bets further enhance the overall experience. Indian players have shown a preference for games that offer a mix of traditional and modern elements, and the studios have successfully catered to these preferences.

The dominance of game shows and the popularity of roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and slots highlight the preferences of Indian players. The convergence of tastes between global casino audiences and Indian players is evident, as live formats with engaging hosts continue to captivate the Indian market.
The success of these games can be attributed to their ability to provide an immersive and entertaining experience, combining familiar game rules with innovative features. As the Indian market continues to mature, players can look forward to next-generation gaming products and solutions that cater to their evolving preferences.
