When you look for the best casino games, the most useful starting point is what other players actually play. This guide lists the casino games our players have played over the last 180 days, with the RTP (return to player) and volatility of each where we have them.
The list is neither a quality rating nor a promise of wins. It shows what is popular, and the guide explains how to use the same data to pick a game that suits your style and budget.
Games are ordered by how many different players played each one in the last 180 days. The measure is the number of distinct players, not rounds played or the total amount staked, so a single very active player cannot push a game up the list.
The measure has limits. Popularity shows what interests players, not how well a game pays. New games climb quickly, and the ranking shifts month to month. RTP and volatility are properties of the game and do not change with player numbers.
The top of the list is Educated Ape Gaming instant games. Mines, Bullseye, Orbit and Constellation are quick, simple games where a round lasts moments and you make decisions during it. All four have a catalogue RTP of 95.0%.
The logic of this game type is familiar from crash and plinko games, covered in our own guide. In instant games the house edge is a fixed 5.0%, so the expected loss is the same however much risk you take on a single round.
Slots make up most of the list. Which slots are best depends on what you want: steady play, big swings or a high RTP. Here are the popular ones by type.
BGaming features heavily. Olympus TRUEWAYS has an RTP of 96.7% and very high volatility, Gangsterz 96.3% and very high, and Fortune Bells 97.09% and high. Bonanza Billion has 95.97% RTP and high volatility. Very high volatility means wins are rare and swings are large.
From Pragmatic Play: Sugar Rush 1000 (RTP 96.53%, very high volatility), Sweet Bonanza 1000 (96.53%, very high), Gates of Olympus 1000 (96.5%, high) and Big Bass Splash (96.71%, high). Play'n GO's Legacy of Dead has 96.58% RTP and very high volatility, and Book of Kemet an RTP of 94.94%.
For steadier play, lower-volatility games fit better. 2 Million B.C. is low volatility (RTP 91.94%), Legend of Ra low-to-medium (92.15%), and Cash'n Fruits 100 and Aliens & Pyramids are medium (RTP 91.1% and 94.0%). Egypt Mine is also medium, with 92.01% RTP. Book of Ra, a long-time casino favourite, has an RTP of 92.13% in our catalogue.
Le Pharaoh (RTP 92.0%), Ze Zeus (92.36%), Cash Crew (92.29%), Cloud Princess (92.29%) and Cursed Seas (92.38%) are all popular on the list. Volatility runs from medium to medium-high.
Note that many popular slots have an RTP well below 96%. Million Dollar Heist Xtreme has 90.1%, Lucky Clover 90.05% and 88 Dragons Bounty 90.56%. That is a house edge of about 10%, against under 4% in a high-RTP game. Choosing a game for entertainment is fine, but you should know its long-run cost.
A game can be offered in several RTP versions, so always check the figure for the game you are about to open. On our game pages the RTP is shown in the game facts.
Popularity suggests a game is easy to find, its theme appeals to many and playing it feels good. It does not mean the game pays better. Every spin is drawn at random, independent of the last, and a popular game is no likelier to win than a quiet one.
It depends on what you want. Player favourites include Educated Ape Gaming instant games such as Mines and slots from BGaming and Pragmatic Play. Popularity does not mean a game pays better.
Our most popular games are ranked by how many different players played each in the last 180 days. Mines, Bullseye, Orbit and Constellation lead.
That depends on your style. For a high RTP, compare percentages, for example Fortune Bells at 97.09%. For steadier play, pick a low or medium volatility game.
Not necessarily. Many popular slots have RTPs of 90-92%, while some games exceed 96%. Check the figure in the game facts.
No. Every round is independent and random, and no game or strategy removes the house edge.
