Online Casino Slots Popularity

It is interesting to observe new online casino games trends: where to the new games developers are heading and what kind of impact it has on the players. Despite all the variety of the new online casino games offered, the slot machines are most likely to be on top of the gamblers' preferences list. Indeed why should the software developers bother to produce 4-5 new video slots a month if they are not popular among the gamblers? If we look at the statistic data provided by some online casinos, we will clearly see that online slot leave behind all the rest of the gambling games in terms of popularity among players. 

Sure it depends upon the country and some divergences from the above statement exist. For example, in Great Britain the top ten of the gambling games - whoever would have thought it - includes three-card poker. In Germany, French roulette rates only as the fourth popular game among the numerous hosts of online slots. Today the news about new opening online casinos are breaking from everywhere. Moreover, the casinos are based on the solid and reputable platforms like Microgaming or Rival. But what is interesting about all these press releases announcing the launch new online casinos?

The new casinos are distinguished first of all by their name and if to be more precise by positioning. I believe I am not mistaken saying that the founders of such giants as JackpotCity, All Slots, Slots Club, Super Slots, VIP Slots, Vegas Slot Casino, SlotoCash, and many others, see and position themselves like a conventional online casino but first of all - slot machine parlor. In fact, the casino players get what they want both from the producers and the industry on the whole.  The following video slots have established themselves as a leading choice in the top ten of the most popular video slots in all countries: Mega Moolah Progressive, Thunderstruck, Avalon. I guess they deserve their leading positions. The players are not fools and getting more experienced in gambling they prefer those video slots where they are more lucky, i.e. the slot machines with a higher percentage of prizes. It's not a joke that Mega Moolah Progressive, with the accumulated jackpot of $5,5 million, the prize percentage is 94%-95%!

This figure is quite substantial for a slot machine with such great jackpots.  But let's stop talking about leaders and preferences of the online casino players. Let's take a look into another issue - where do the producers get so much fantasy to provide the gamblers with dozens of new online slots every month? Yes, they just could stamp new pictures for old slots and pass of as new slots. But sooner or later, the players will realize they are playing the same slot.

Every online casino software developer solves the issue of diversity in his own way. Microgaming online casinos software provider boasts the most independent approach today. They are just creating new concepts of the slot machines and remember to stamp good old video slots. As I mentioned, one and the same slot may be produced with different graphics, then why not to give such an opportunity to the gamblers themselves? This is how MySlot had originated, the new online slot where the players may themselves fully change graphical design and sounds etc, in other words to personalize the slot as they may wish. 

Another original innovation was a slot machine Burning Desire, developed the St.Valentine's Day, it contains no game lines at all. Such extraordinary online slot machines are bound to catch gambler's attention but then the players are returning to their good old slots like Avalon. From my point of view, these new slots were not so successful as a common player will hardly put himself into trouble of creating his own nice slot machine in MySlot, on the other hand he won't choose to play an unattractive video slot. If we would talk about the video slot Burning Desire, then it should be mentioned that its unique advantage - absolute absence of game lines - is compensated with a less frequent and smaller prizes. Besides, it is not clear where the fixed rate of 25 coins comes from. On the other hand a common player is just looking for the entertainments - the most vivid and the main thing - right now, please!
