Top 10 Games by Bets
The Top 10 Games by Bets highlights which titles generated the most spin volume during Q2 2025.
| Q2 Rank | Game | Provider | Total Bets (Q2) | Change vs Q1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gates of Olympus 1000 | Pragmatic Play | 295,241,517 | — |
| 2 | Sweet Bonanza 1000 | Pragmatic Play | 286,202,762 | — |
| 3 | Joker’s Jewels | Pragmatic Play | 271,749,960 | ↑ 3 |
| 4 | Gates of Olympus Super Scatter | Pragmatic Play | 225,885,460 | NEW |

Pragmatic Play strengthened its hold on spin volume in Q2.
Gates of Olympus 1000 and Sweet Bonanza 1000 held onto the top two spots in Q2, just as they did in Q1 2025.
Joker’s Jewels was the biggest mover this quarter. It jumped from sixth place in Q1 to third in Q2, proving that players still enjoy classic, straightforward slots. This rise shows that simple games with fast gameplay can stand out, even in a crowded market full of feature-heavy titles.
The other major highlight was the arrival of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter. This brand-new sequel debuted straight into fourth place with more than 225m bets.
Sugar Rush 1000 slipped from third to fifth place, but remains a major performer with over 214m bets.
Hacksaw Gaming’s Western-themed games also lost ground. Wanted Dead or a Wild fell from fourth to sixth, and Duel at Dawn dropped from fifth to ninth. Both titles still appeal strongly to high-volatility players, but Pragmatic Play’s refreshed catalogue simply took more of the spotlight in Q2.
The bottom half of the top ten saw the most turnover. Le Viking, Big Bass Boom, Zeus vs Hades, and Brick House Bonanza all dropped out.
They were replaced by Big Bass Rock and Roll (#7), Gold Party (#8), and Triple Pot Gold (#10); all Pragmatic titles.
Pragmatic Play strengthened its dominance further this quarter. In Q1, it held seven of the top ten positions. In Q2, it holds eight.
Theme-wise, three pillars continue to lead. Mythology remains on top with the Olympus series.
Candy-themed slots like Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush stay strong, and fishing-themed Big Bass titles continue to resonate with players, with Big Bass Rock and Roll entering the list. These franchise pillars capture the majority of daily spins and appeal to a wide range of player moods.
Trend: Q2 showed the power of franchises. Joker’s Jewels jumped from sixth to third, Sugar Rush 1000 slipped from third to fifth, and Gates of Olympus Super Scatter demonstrated how a single new feature in a familiar franchise can launch a title directly into the top five.
Top 10 Games by Wager
The Top 10 Games by Wager highlights the titles that attracted the largest total stakes in Q2 2025, showing where players concentrated their bets during the quarter.
| Q2 Rank | Game | Provider | Total Wager (Q2) | Change vs Q1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sweet Bonanza 1000 | Pragmatic Play | $1,472,682,343.21 | ↑ 1 |
| 2 | Gates of Olympus Super Scatter | Pragmatic Play | $1,279,839,793.40 | NEW |
| 3 | Sugar Rush 1000 | Pragmatic Play | $1,188,489,031.09 | — |
| 4 | Gates of Olympus 1000 | Pragmatic Play | $953,824,999.62 | ↓ 3 |
| 5 | Wanted Dead or a Wild | Hacksaw Gaming | $662,981,659.33 | — |
| 6 | Duck Hunters | Nolimit City | $587,905,402.68 | ↑ 1 |
| 7 | Puffer Stacks | Titan Gaming | $370,964,037.38 | NEW |
| 8 | Drac’s Stacks | Massive Studios | $343,183,401.86 | NEW |
| 9 | Brute Force | Nolimit City | $333,954,908.88 | ↓ 1 |
| 10 | Duel at Dawn | Hacksaw Gaming | $333,533,584.52 | ↓ 6 |
Pragmatic Play owns the top of the spend chart again.
Sweet Bonanza 1000 claimed the top spot in Q2 after finishing second last quarter. It cleared an enormous $1.47bn wagered.
Gates of Olympus 1000, which was #1 in Q1 2025, slipped to #4. It’s still performing at a massive scale, but it was overtaken by fresh momentum elsewhere.
Sugar Rush 1000 held its ground in third, keeping Pragmatic Play’s candy franchise firmly inside the top tier.
The standout story is Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, a brand-new release that debuted at #2. Its immediate arrival so high on the chart shows the power of the sequel‑plus‑twist model.
Hacksaw Gaming’s titles had a mixed quarter. Wanted Dead or a Wild held steady at #5. Duel at Dawn, however, dropped from #4 to #10. These games continue to attract larger average bets, but they lost ground to Pragmatic’s refreshed Olympus line and Nolimit City’s rising entries.
Nolimit City saw some gains this quarter. Duck Hunters moved up one spot from #7 to #6, and Brute Force stayed close, easing from #8 to #9. These games consistently punch above their spin counts, a clear sign that they skew heavily toward high‑stakes segments.
Two completely new entries illustrate that point further. Puffer Stacks (#7) and Drac’s Stacks (#8) both entered the wager top ten despite not appearing in the top ten bets chart at all.
This pattern usually signals games that appeal to VIP and high‑stakes players: they have fewer spins overall but much higher average bet sizes.
Several Q1 fixtures exited the top ten. Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe (#6 in Q1), Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War (#9), and Dork Unit (#10) all dropped out.
Trend: Q2 spend concentrated even more heavily around Pragmatic Play’s flagship trio: Sweet Bonanza, Sugar Rush, and the Olympus series. Meanwhile, VIP‑leaning newcomers (Puffer Stacks and Drac’s Stacks) and Nolimit City’s volatility leaders (Duck Hunters and Brute Force) continued to hold a strong grip on high‑stakes play.

| 19 | Fighter Pit | Hacksaw Gaming | 9,739,728 |
| 20 | Joker’s Jewels Cash | Pragmatic Play | 9,606,861 |
This leaderboard only includes new releases from Q2, so it shows which fresh launches players actually tried and stuck with.
Q2 tilted toward franchise sequels and recognisable IP.
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter led the list, and Big Bass delivered two more high‑entries (Rock and Roll and Boxing Bonus Round).
Pragmatic also extended familiar lines with The Dog House – Royal Hunt, Wild West Gold Blazing Bounty, and Joker’s Jewels Cash. The theme here is clear: known brands plus a small twist drove the fastest adoption.
Compared with Q1, that’s a shift. Last quarter, the #1 new title was Tombstone Slaughter: El Gordo’s Revenge (Nolimit City) and the top 20 leaned more into gritty Westerns and high‑volatility originals.
In Q2, Nolimit still hit the chart with Flight Mode and Fire in the Hole 3, but those appear mid‑table rather than on top. The centre of gravity moved from innovation‑led outliers to big franchise follow‑ups.
Fishing and aquatic stayed strong across quarters. In Q1 you had Big Bass Splash; in Q2 the baton passes to Big Bass Rock and Roll, and Big Bass Bonanza 1000.
Dark/gritty content remained very present. Hacksaw stacked multiple entries: Pray for Three, Rad Maxx, Ultimate Slot of America, Spinman, Danny Dollar, Reign of Rome, Life and Death, Fighter Pit.
That suggests breadth over spikes: lots of players sampled Hacksaw’s new drops, even if one mega‑hit didn’t run away with the quarter.
Q2 shows that recognisable franchises with a clear new hook win the launch window. Meanwhile, Nolimit City and Hacksaw Gaming still converts innovation into adoption.
Trend: For new releases, Q2 favoured brand familiarity plus low learning cost, mythology sequels and Big Bass extensions led discovery, while high‑volatility originals sustained interest through variety rather than a single runaway hit.

In Q1, Nolimit City swept the very top of the new‑wager chart. In Q2, Pragmatic takes the crown with Olympus Super Scatter, while Nolimit and Hacksaw still command multiple top‑ten positions.
The centre of gravity shifts from an all‑Nolimit top to a more balanced mix where Pragmatic leads with a franchise sequel, and Hacksaw/Massive/Nolimit split the rest of the VIP‑leaning spend.
This quarter’s new‑release spend is led by Gates of Olympus Super Scatter at #1.
Right behind, Hacksaw Gaming and Nolimit City showed strong pull. Ultimate Slot of America opened at #2, while Flight Mode and Fire in the Hole 3 took #3 and #4.
A notable Q2 storyline is the rise of Massive Studios, with four games placing in the top 20. That breadth suggests real momentum with higher‑stakes audiences, not just a one‑off hit.
Pragmatic Play still converts new content into spend. Alongside the #1 Olympus sequel, Big Bass Rock and Roll (#8) and Big Bass Bonanza 1000 (#11) show that the Big Bass franchise continues to turn fresh skins into meaningful wager.
Transylvania Mania (#13) and Mummy’s Jewels (#18) add variety with horror and Egyptian adventures.
On the theme front, Q2 balances mythology/adventure with dark/gritty and humor‑edgy content from Hacksaw and Nolimit. Fishing remains reliable via Big Bass, and quirky/novelty concepts from Massive help diversify the top 20.
Trend: Q2 new‑release spend clustered around one flagship sequel, Olympus Super Scatter, while volatile, VIP‑skewed newcomers from Hacksaw, Nolimit, and a breakout Massive Studios slate filled out the top 20.
