Are slots losing popularity?

What are the most popular games? What iGaming providers have achieved the greatest success? SOFTSWISS, an innovative company providing a complete ecosystem of comprehensive software solutions, shares valuable insights across regional markets.

The analysis presented is based on the Game Aggregator data spanning the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023.

 

Europe

Slot games remain popular in Europe, even though they lost around five p.p. during H2 2022 and H1 2023. Despite this decline, their market share still exceeds 80% among the other gaming categories. In contrast,  card games improved their position by almost four p.p.

The top five most popular game categories underwent minor changes in Q2 2023. The Total Bets Sum in Craps games saw a substantial increase, growing 2.7 times in comparison to the previous quarter. This boost in performance secured the fifth position for this type of games in the top rankings, displacing casual games.

 

Gates of Olympys, Big Bamboo and Midas Golden Touch emerged as some  of the most popular games during the past year. Notably, the landscape of top games exhibited significant variations from quarter to quarter.

In the European gaming sector of 2022-2023,  top-performing game providers include Amatic, Amusnet (EGT), BGaming, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Push Gaming, and Relax Gaming. Their positions in the rankings experienced subtle shifts from quarter to quarter.

 

Asia

The top five most popular game categories in Asia have exhibited a consistent trend since the final quarter of 2022. Slot games hold a prominent position  in the asian gaming landscape, with their  market share exceeding 80% compared to other categories.

 

Gates of Olympys claimed the title of the most popular game in Asia in Q4 2022, and has maintained its leading position since. Meanwhile, another popular game, Bonanza Billion, has experienced fluctuations in its rankings within  the top five since the end of the previous year. The Total Bets Sums of Aviator increased twofold during the first half of this year, propelling the game into a leadership position.  In contrast, the once-popular game, Hot Fruits, lost its foothold in the top rankings during the second quarter of 2023.

As for the most successful game providers in Asia, it should be noted that Evolution, Pragmatic Play and BGaming have continually jostled for positions within the top five over  the past four quarters under review. Play’n Go and Amatic ceded their places in the rankings  to 1spin4win and Amusnet (EGT), with the latter heading the list in Q2 2023.

Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, comments: “The popularity of the Aviator game can be explained by simple interface and fast payouts. What sets it apart even further is its distinctive gameplay mechanics, which significantly differ from other crush games in the market. Notably, Aviator provides players with the illusion of “control” over the game, adding an extra level of excitement and intrigue.”

 

Latin America

The top five of the most popular game categories in LatAm have remained consistent over the last year, with almost 60% of these categories dominated by  slots.

 

The current top five most popular games are as follows:

Roleta Brasileiri  – 8.27%
Aviator – 5.97%
Gates of Olympus – 5.24%
Sweet Bonanza  – 3.44%
Crazy Time – 3.14%

Notably, Aviator surged to the top in Q4 2022, experiencing a significant increase in the Total Bets Sum, nearly 170 mln euro more in comparison with the previous quarter. This success propelled its provider, Spribe, from the tenth place in Q3 2022 to the fourth in Q2 2023, displacing Play’n GO from the top five. Other providers, specifically Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Playtech, and BGaming, remained  in the top with minor shifts in their rankings over the past year.

The top five most popular games account for approximately 25% of the Total Bets Sum across all games in Latin America, while in Europe and Asia the same covers around 10%. Another noteworthy  market trend is the displacement of slots with roulette, and the growing preference for live games.

Carla Dualid, Regional Business Development Manager at SOFTSWISS in LatAm, comments: “Players in Latin America in the context of online gambling may differ from players in Europe in several ways. Most Latin American players bet through mobile devices and prefer online play. Local casino slot players tend to place small but regular bets, which distinguishes them from European online casino players, who, in turn, bet less frequently, but wager larger sums on slots. Speaking about the LatAm market, we should keep in mind that Brazil is the most active player in it. Such factors as economic potential, increasing Internet penetration, mobile accessibility, and regulatory changes are making the Brazilian market more attractive for operators.”

Mr. Gamble Forum Revamp Sparks Record Growth and Global Expansion

Published

on

Mr. Gamble Forum, a fast-growing online gambling community, has rolled out a major platform revamp that is already delivering record-breaking growth in traffic, visibility, and user engagement. Timed perfectly ahead of the industry’s busiest season, the update strengthens the forum’s position as a go-to destination for casino and sports betting discussions worldwide.

The refreshed platform combines a cleaner design, expanded content, and new marketing capabilities, all built around a single goal: creating a space where players can freely share real experiences while operators connect with highly motivated users.

“We’ve invested a lot of effort into improving both the user experience and the commercial potential of the forum,” said Paul Puolakka, CMO of Mr. Gamble. “This update reinforces our vision of an open, trusted community that benefits players and partners alike—and the growth we’re seeing confirms we’re on the right track.”

Strong Growth Momentum Following the Revamp

The impact of the update has been immediate. In Novembe 2025, compared to December 2024, Mr. Gamble Forum recorded a sharp rise across all key performance metrics. Daily clicks increased by 270%, daily impressions climbed by 471%, and monthly clicks grew by 380%. These numbers reflect not only improved visibility in search engines but also a growing appetite for a community where players can openly discuss casinos, bonuses, slots, and betting strategies.

Sports Betting Content Broadens the Forum’s Scope

One of the most significant additions is the expansion into sports betting content. The forum now features dedicated discussions around upcoming games, betting strategies, and odds, giving sports bettors a place to exchange insights in real time. Alongside these discussions, users can explore a steadily growing selection of sports betting bonuses, including both long-term promotions and limited-time offers from leading brands.

This addition allows Mr. Gamble Forum to serve a broader audience while keeping casino players and sports bettors under one unified community.

Localized Promotions for Key Regions

As part of the revamp, Mr. Gamble Forum has also refined how promotions are presented. Players from Australia and New Zealand now have their own dedicated sections where they can immediately discover the most relevant casino and betting offers available to them. This localized approach makes it easier for users to find deals that actually apply to their region, while increasing engagement and conversion potential for operators.

A Clear Step Toward Global Expansion

The forum’s international ambitions are already taking shape. A dedicated Swedish-language version of the forum has recently gone live, giving Swedish players a space to participate in discussions in their native language. Early engagement data shows positive signs, suggesting strong potential as localized promotions and content continue to expand.

Over the past year, the forum has seen its strongest growth in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand, and Sweden is now emerging as another promising market.

New Opportunities for Casino and Betting Partners

Beyond user-facing improvements, the revamp introduces new commercial features designed to support partners. Updated call-to-action elements help guide users toward relevant offers, making it easier for casinos to attract players who are already in a decision-making mindset.

For a limited time, Mr. Gamble Forum is also offering partners the opportunity to test forum marketing free of charge, as long as they can provide geo- and IP-targeted dynamic banners. This allows operators to explore the forum’s potential, reach high-intent audiences, and gather performance insights without upfront risk.

A Community Built on Real Player Experiences

Despite the platform’s growth and new features, the core of Mr. Gamble Forum remains unchanged: community-driven discussion. Players continue to share honest reviews of casinos, compare bonuses, talk openly about slot games, and exchange betting strategies. This transparency has been a key factor behind the forum’s rising visibility and trust among users.

As more players join and more regions come online, these conversations are becoming richer, more diverse, and increasingly valuable for both users and operators.

What Comes Next for Mr. Gamble Forum

The December revamp marks the beginning of a new phase for the platform. Further international expansion is already on the roadmap, alongside improvements to mobile performance, contributor rewards, and partner analytics. Each development is designed to strengthen the ecosystem and keep the forum relevant as the online gambling landscape continues to evolve.

Conclusion

With its latest update, Mr. Gamble Forum has transformed from a growing community into a truly global platform. The combination of rapid traffic growth, expanded sports betting content, localized promotions, and innovative partner opportunities highlights a clear direction forward. Backed by strong momentum in the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and early success in Sweden, the forum is well positioned to become one of the most influential discussion hubs in the online gambling industry.

As Paul Puolakka summarizes, “When players feel heard and operators see real value, growth follows naturally. That’s exactly what we’re building with Mr. Gamble Forum.

  • The squad’s goal is straightforward: become a top team in the LEC and qualify for Worlds in North America next year.
  • Next year marks a new chapter in the club’s long-term strategy to develop and elevate European talent, creating an environment built to deliver results.

Team Vitality is proud to present its new LEC roster for 2026. Throughout the upcoming season, the club aims to build on its existing core and further develop the team’s talent, while welcoming a new mid laner and a strategic Head Coach to elevate performance.

The stage is set, and Team Vitality returns to the LEC more determined than ever. At the heart of this ambitious new roster is Kaan “Naak Nako” Okan, the Turkish superstar top laner, who will anchor the team. With the roster built around his talent, communication, and leadership, Team Vitality aims to make a deep run and achieve its first EMEA title.

Roster composition

  • Kaan “Naak Nako” Okan (Turkish) – 20 years old: The centrepiece of Team Vitality’s project, Naak Nako is an incredibly talented player known for his versatility and impact. A former high-level volleyball player, he began his professional League of Legends career in 2022 with Fenerbahce.

  • Linas “Lyncas” Nauncikas (Lithuanian) – 21 years old: The hardworking engine of Team Vitality, Lyncas brings his relentless drive and consistency to the refreshed roster. Having played for several teams in the ERL and EMEA Masters, he was recruited by Team Vitality in May 2024.

  • Marek “Humanoid” Brázda (Czech) – 25 years old: A veteran of the LEC scene and one of its most consistent mid laners over the past five years, Humanoid is repeatedly ranked among the league’s top 3 midlaners and has qualified for Worlds multiple times with rosters such as Fnatic and MAD Lions.

He quickly made his mark in the scene by bringing stability and reliable performances to the bot lane, leaving a strong impression on fans and teammates alike. Now entering his first full year in the LEC, Fleshy is ready to fully prove himself and make a lasting impact on Team Vitality’s road to Worlds.

Coaching staff

  • Patrick “Pad” Suckow-Breum (Danish) – Head Coach: A competitor through and through, Pad brings a lifelong passion for sports, having previously competed at a high level in football. He has been a coach in League of Legends since 2017, taking his first steps into the LEC with MAD Lions in 2020. Joining Team Vitality in December 2023 alongside Head Coach Mac, Pad is now taking the next step in his career as the team’s Head Coach, ready to lead Team Vitality to new heights with his experience, discipline, and vision.
  • Danusch “Arvindir” Fischer (German) – Strategic Coach: An ambitious coach, Arvindir began his career in professional League of Legends as an analyst for top LEC organisations, including SK Gaming and Splyce, before transitioning into coaching. He has worked across all the major ERL leagues, including a 3.5-year tenure at BIG, before moving on to KOI and Team BDS Academy, where he led the team to victory in the 2024 EMEA Masters Summer Split. Joining Team Vitality in 2025 as the Head Coach of the LFL roster, he has proven his worth in developing Vitality.Bee, and has now been promoted to Strategic Coach of the LEC team.

Joining Team Vitality in December 2024, Lukezy now enters his second LEC season as the team’s Assistant Coach, where he has a hands-on role in player development.

The addition of Marek to the roster reflects our strategic ambitions for the upcoming LEC season. Over the past 18 months, we have focused on developing Lynacs and Naak, making 2026 a key performance year for the team. We are confident that we now have all the pieces in place to compete for the top positions in LEC. While this season will be decisive, our team thrives under pressure, positioning us well to meet the challenge.explains Patrick “Pad” Suckow-Breum, Head Coach of the team.

A NEW ERA BEGINS

The organisation is committed to elevating European talent and building a team capable of competing at the highest level.

“We are building on the momentum from 2025, with results continuing to improve. We’ve added experience and an X-factor in a key position, in the hope that this will serve as a catalyst to confirm the potential of the young players we backed last year. We are confident that they can demonstrate that European talent is capable of competing for the qualifying spots at the World Championships.” says Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality.
