CasinoRank Report Highlights Most-Played Casino Games and Market Shifts in 2025

Reading Time: 2 minutes

CasinoRank today released its latest six-month analysis (April–September 2025) of real player data, providing insights into the most-played casino games worldwide and the trends shaping the iGaming sector. The findings highlight a market entering a new phase of consolidation and rapid growth.

According to the report, Pragmatic Play now commands eight of the world’s top nine slot titles, while Evolution’s Crazy Time attracts more than 335,000 daily players. Crash games are also surging, with Aviator leading the category and Latin America recording 34% quarter-over-quarter growth.

Key Findings

The report shows that slots remain the backbone of iGaming, although they are increasingly concentrated in the hands of Pragmatic Play. Its flagship title, Gates of Olympus, secured the highest global operator promotion share at 0.20% (the share of times a game appears in operator lobbies). Crash games also accelerated, with Aviator holding the top spot and Pragmatic Play strengthening its footprint through Spaceman, Big Bass Crash, and High Flyer. Together, the top 10 crash titles now account for the vast majority of play, marking a wider spread of engagement than earlier in the year. Live dealer continues to anchor immersive play, with Evolution reinforcing its lead as Crazy Time averaged over 335,000 daily players and Lightning Roulette ranked among the top global live titles by visibility at 0.096%.

“The six-month data confirms the dual nature of today’s market,” said Emily Thompson, Lead Analyst at CasinoRank. “Players stick with trusted slot mechanics for consistency, turn to crash games for quick bursts of excitement, and commit the most time to live dealer experiences. The operators who win will anchor their lobbies with proven titles and invest boldly in innovation: from localized crash formats to next-gen live dealer studios.”

The findings highlight sharp regional contrasts:

  • Latin America posted a 34% quarter-over-quarter jump in crash play, driven by mobile-first demographics and younger audiences.
  • Southeast Asia saw a 27% increase in adoption during the same period, while the Asia-Pacific region recorded a 28% rise in live dealer engagement, largely fueled by baccarat hybrids.
  • Europe and North America remain mature markets where slots continue to dominate, though growth is slower under tighter regulatory conditions.

Rapid technological advancements underpin these regional shifts. In live dealer games, 5G-powered streaming and multi-camera setups are increasing average session lengths to 15–20 minutes, roughly three times longer than those of slots. Slot play is also evolving, with features such as multipliers, tumbling reels, and bonus buys helping to sustain mobile engagement. Crash titles continue to benefit from exposure on Twitch and YouTube, though analysts warn that over-reliance on influencer-driven virality could undermine long-term stability.

Taken together, these trends signal a decisive phase of market maturation. According to CasinoRank, the operators best positioned to win will be those who:

  • Anchor their lobbies with proven slot performers.
  • Expand crash portfolios beyond Aviator and Pragmatic Play’s leading titles, embracing emerging favorites from studios like Smartsoft and Buck Stakes Entertainment.
  • Invest in live dealer infrastructure, including localized studios, to enhance the gaming experience.
  • Deploy AI-driven personalization within six months to align players with risk-matched experiences.

Aleksandar Milovanović, founder and largest shareholder of Meridianbet, has completed a $500,000 cash-to-equity conversion under the Post-Closing Cash Consideration Conversion Agreement, as specified in the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement with the parent company, Golden Matrix Group (GMGI).

The Eight Amendment was signed on August 29, 2025 and entered into force on September 9, 2025. The underlying SPA was signed June 27, 2023, and the acquisition closed on April 9, 2024 (effective April 1, 2024).

The conversion was executed in five scheduled tranches from September 9 to September 26, 2025.

With the final tranche today, the full $500,000 conversion is complete as agreed. These issuances were made as restricted shares pursuant to the SPA terms and do not affect the overall economics of the post-closing consideration.

The completion of the scheduled tranches converts cash obligations into equity as outlined in the agreement, without changing the overall post-closing economic terms. This process manages cash flow timing and maintains consistency with the agreed-upon shareholder structure.

Company united under the SkillOnNet umbrella in show of “unity, clarity and strength”

Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet is celebrating 20 years of innovation, growth and success with the launch of a rebranded website and logo and the unveiling of a bold new company identity.

A new corporate structure will bring together all areas of the business – SkillonNetOPS, SkillonNetMarketing, SkillonNetR&D, SkillonNetCORP, and SkillonNetGames – into one collaborative, unified organization under the SkillonNet umbrella, designed to drive sustainable growth across the company’s roster of B2C and partner brands.

The milestone was marked with a weekend of celebrations kicking off September 11, with international staff from across SkillOnNet’s offices flying to Limassol, Cyprus to join the festivities. Parties were held each evening over the weekend, with keynote speeches that reflected on the company’s journey, its future vision, and the strength of its employees.

“Today, we present our new company identity, which unites all of our offices under one strong, recognizable brand – a brand that reflects our culture: fun and passionate, but above all, one that unites us as a single, powerful team,” said Ohad Narkis, co-founder of SkillonNet’s flagship brand PlayOJO, adding that the change was about “unity, clarity, and strength reflecting internally within the organization as well as externally with partners and suppliers .”

“It helps us move faster, work smarter, and deliver our values: We’re experts in play, hands on, and always better together,” he added.

Founded in 2005 with a focus on online backgammon, SkillOnNet quickly pivoted into casino entertainment, laying the foundation for a platform that now powers some of the industry’s most successful brands, including PlayOJO, DrückGlück, BacanaPlay and Genting.

Today, the company holds more than a dozen local licenses across Europe, South America, and North America, and serves millions of players worldwide.

“We are now truly an entertainment company, with a proprietary technology and best of class operation serving millions – players who are, after our employees, our greatest asset,” Kfir Chervinski SkillOnNet Founder said; “As we celebrate 20 years in iGaming, this rebrand marks more than just a fresh identity – it’s a milestone that reflects who we are and where we’re headed. So, here’s to the next decade of growth, innovation, and delivering the best in play.”
