A series of new online slot games released over the past few months have been holding high ranks in a monthly report published by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG).
The 73-page monthly titled “Online Game Performance Report” tracks how games perform in the North American casino market. One section of the report lists the top 25 online slot games based on a Theo Win Index number. This number describes the expected house win for a player, based on the total amount wagered by the player and the game played. A high Theo Win Index for a game provides a higher ranking.
Online casino operators voluntarily provide data to EKG which holds the information in a company database. EKG then publishes a report each month using the database.
Focusing on the top three online slot games in the list of 25 for December, new games with a buffalo theme have held high rankings for months.
