Starburst by NetEnt Retakes the Lead in iGaming Tracker’s Slot Ranking
Players have various preferences when it comes to choosing slot games to play. Some focus on the size of the jackpot, others on the features and theme, and some are more technical, looking at the variance and return to players. Others simply opt to play the most popular online slots available, and this is where iGaming Tracker comes in. Every month, it ranks the most played slot games on the web. For December 2019, NetEnt’s Starburst reclaimed the top spot from Play’n GO’s Book of Dead, emphasizing its colorful and entertaining features that can rival even the most advanced slot games.
Play’n GO’s Book of Dead Slides to Second Place
December was a busy month for online casinos, with new and established slots providing great entertainment for real money players. iGaming Tracker’s rankings showed that previous chart-topper Book of Dead fell to second place. These two slot games dominated the online casino world in 2019, with Starburst reigning supreme for months, until Book of Dead overtook in February last year.
The new rankings have eight new entries, Sweet Bonanza Christmas being the highest new entry at fifth place. Pragmatic Play boasts of four titles included in the list while other popular studios also contributed their games, including Eye of Horus Megaways by Blueprint Gaming, Polar Paws by Playtech, Finn’s Golden Tavern and Santa vs Rudolf by NetEnt. Several new inclusions for the December rankings were Christmas-themed slot games.

iGaming Tracker’s Methodology
iGaming Tracker ranks top slots based on their popularity in several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. To determine the ranking, iGaming Tracker considers each game’s position on the 50 biggest online casinos in Europe throughout the month. The team only checks main pages and the top 10 most popular positions on these pages. Pages exclusive to an operator are not included.
The team calculates the total number of hours that each online slot game appears in the top 10 positions during a month. They monitor each qualifying casino page once daily, and other games such as live dealer titles and card games are not included in the rankings.
