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.

Datawrkz, a Nazara subsidiary, acquires majority stake in UK growth marketing agency, Space & Time
Transaction set to fast-track Datawrkz’s ambitious growth plans
Datawrkz, a subsidiary of Nazara Technologies Limited (BSE: 543280) (NSE: NAZARA) has acquired a 100% stake in Space & Time, an independent growth marketing agency with offices across the UK for approximately GBP 4.8 million (~INR 52.3 crores) in cash and stock.
This acquisition is a key move in advancing Datawrkz’s growth ambitions across Europe and North America, positioning it as a scaled player in the global digital advertising market.
The collaboration brings together Space & Time’s expertise in growth marketing, media, and technology with Datawrkz’s strengths in programmatic advertising technology and optimization. This partnership will enable both companies to deliver more impactful digital advertising solutions and drive further expansion, especially in the European and UK markets. Additionally, Space & Time will gain access to Datawrkz’s cutting-edge technology and products, enhancing their ability to deliver effective campaigns and capitalize on growth opportunities in Europe and North America.
Datawrkz was founded in 2013 on the premise that digital advertising can be done better in every way.
Senthil Govindan, CEO and founder of Datawrkz, will join the Space & Time board. He noted, “We are embarking on an inorganic strategy to complement our strong independent growth, and Space & Time is an ideal partner. The cultural alignment and shared focus on delivering value for clients make this acquisition a perfect fit. We anticipate this collaboration will significantly boost growth for both companies, with Space & Time driving our expansion in Europe.”
Launched in 2000, Space & Time has achieved strong revenue growth over the last three years and is one of a select few Google Premier Partners in the UK. Earlier this year, Space & Time chief executive officer, Chris Jones, was named in the ‘CEO and Leaders’ category of the BIMA 100, a listing of the top 100 movers and shakers in the UK’s digital and technology industry.
Chris Jones adds: “The company was founded with very clear principles focussed around client success. I’m incredibly proud to say these are more intrinsic and fundamental to our values than ever. The challenge was to find an investor that shares this passion for client-centricity and that’s exactly what we’ve found in Datawrkz. As two fast-growing and specialist businesses, the potential between us made this the perfect match and the investment in key areas such as data and technology that this deal brings will help future-proof our clients’ business as we continue to grow.
The deal represents an exciting new chapter in the Space & Time story as we partner with Datawrkz to bring new opportunities to clients. We’re excited for all that lies ahead.”

Affiliates react to Autumn budget announcement
Richard Moffat, CEO, OLBG “We were initially worried about the rise in remote gaming duty rumours, as operators would likely have swallowed these costs by rolling out worse products, worse pricing and fewer offers for gambling consumers. When this happens, punters consider switching to the black market, where friction is lower because player protection is non-existent and taxes are not always being paid.
“The new Labour government has avoided this scenario by keeping tax rates consistent, which will come as a relief to many businesses in the sector that were preparing for the worst, and is ultimately great news for the consumer. The British horse racing industry will also breathe a sigh of relief as any increase in taxes may well have hit their income at a time when many stakeholders are in need of revenue growth.
“Trust in the former Conservative government was damaged by the election betting scandal, and Labour still have their work cut out, according to our latest survey with YouGov.
“Respondents didn’t differentiate vastly between the parties, with more than one-quarter (27%) suggesting that Labour will do no better at regulating gambling than the Conservatives. Only time will tell, but the budget has shown that gambling is some way down Labour’s new list of priorities.”
Jamie Walters, CEO and co-founder, QiH Group “The speculation proved to be just that, as an anticipated rise in remote gaming duty never materialised. While the industry clearly avoided a worst-case scenario, that does not necessarily mean this was a good budget for business.
“The rise in employer National Insurance contributions will be difficult for many small to medium-size businesses, but is at least in keeping with Labour’s pledge to protect the general working public from tax hikes.”
Neil Roarty, head analyst, ClickOut Media “Two weeks ago, when speculative proposals on taxation of the industry were announced, they had a huge deleterious impact on the market, with a total of £3.5bn in stock value lost by the industry’s biggest giants.
“These proposals never arrived, and may not even have been considered by Labour, which has pushed a gaming duty review back to next year. Gambling stocks have already bounced back as something of a correction, with Entain up 8% for example.
“This will come as a welcome surprise for the industry, and also for consumers, who would have been forced to shoulder the cost on behalf of bookmakers. The tobacco and vaping industry was in the ‘vice’ sector crosshairs instead on this occasion.”
