Who’s winning: inside bet365’s August slot tracker

• Pragmatic Play supplies five of Brazil’s Top 6 slots in August and claims new #1 rankings in both Canada and Alberta.
• 10,000 Wonders 10K Ways (ReelPlay) jumps 46 places to #3 in Pennsylvania, the biggest single mover across bet365’s 22-market leaderboard.
• The rankings land alongside bet365’s launch in West Virginia, its 18th US state, and the debut of its online poker room in France.

bet365 has published its August 2026 games rankings report, tracking performance across more than 7,500 casino titles in 22 regulated markets.

Pragmatic Play dominates the leaderboards in Brazil, Canada and Alberta, while Relax Gaming and Foxium each seize the top spot in Greece and Spain.

Pragmatic’s Brazil sweep

Brazil’s chart is barely worth calling a leaderboard; it is closer to a Pragmatic Play highlight reel.

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) holds #1, Sugar Rush 1000 (Pragmatic Play) climbs to #2. Gates of Olympus 1000 (Pragmatic Play) rises four places to #4. Sweet Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) takes #5 and the original Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic Play) sits at #6.

Stacked Fire 7’s (Inspired) stands out and climbs to the #3 position, up 3 places from July’s rankings.

Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness (Play’n GO) climbs seven places to #8.

Touro Sortudo and Tigre Sortudo 1000 (both Pragmatic Play) hold #7 and #9 placements, with Gold Trio 10000 (Playtech) closing the ranks on #10.

Steady skies over Brazil

Brazil’s crash game chart barely moved in August, a striking contrast to the volatility running through the country’s slots leaderboard, with one studio’s flying-hero franchise claiming four of the top ten spots.

Aviator (Spribe) holds #1 unchanged, and JetX (SmartSoft Gaming) holds #2 unchanged – the genre’s two pioneering titles remain untouched at the top.

FlyX Cash Turbo (Buck Stakes Entertainment), FlyX (Buck Stakes Entertainment), Thunderstruck FlyX (Buck Stakes Entertainment) and Ararinha FlyX (Buck Stakes Entertainment) fill four of the top ten spots, all built on the same Games Global-backed flying-hero format with different regional skins.

bet365 High Flyer, a bet365-exclusive title, holds #4 unchanged, and Velocity, the crash game bet365 built specifically for the Brazilian market with Incentive Games, slips one place to #6.

Spaceman (Pragmatic Play) holds #7 unchanged, and Red Baron (Evolution) rises one place to #8.

Canada’s shifting chart

Canada’s chart moves far more than the UK’s or Brazil’s, with multiple titles swinging ten places or more month to month.

Sweet Rush Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) rockets 16 places to #1, a title built by fusing the studio’s Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush franchises into one game. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) rises one place to #4, Buffalo King Megaways (Pragmatic Play) climbs one place to #8, and Chests of Cai Shen (Pragmatic Play) jumps 16 places to #10.

Area Link Phoenix Firestorm (Games Global) slips one place to #2 after holding #1 in July, Amazing Link Zeus (Games Global) falls four places to #6, and Area Link Bank Boss (Games Global) drops three places to #7 – all three built by Games Global’s Area Vegas studio.

Temple Tumble (Relax Gaming) is the sharpest climber outside Pragmatic Play, up 11 places to #3.

bet365 High Flyer, a bet365-exclusive title, rises one place to #5, and Bet It on the Glitz Re-Flash (Foxium) enters the chart at #9 – the same title that tops Spain’s leaderboard this month.

Olympus conquers Alberta

Alberta’s leaderboard is still finding its shape, just a month after the market launched.

Fortune of Olympus (Pragmatic Play) leaps 17 places from #18 to #1, an Olympus spin-off built on a 7×7 cluster-pays grid rather than the Gates mechanic.

Amazing Link Zeus (Games Global) holds at #2, and Amazing Link Apollo (Games Global) enters the chart at #3 – both built by the SpinPlay Games studio behind Canada’s Amazing Link entries. Mo’ Mummy Valley of Riches (Aristocrat) enters directly at #4.

Mahjong Wins Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) rises one place to #5, Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) slips two places to #7, and Sugar Rush Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) holds steady at #9.

The sharpest move belongs to Pride of the Serengeti, a bet365-exclusive title that climbs 27 positions from #33 to #6 – a faster, more independent shape than Ontario’s chart took at the same stage. Eruption Blaze CASHINGO (Slingshot Studios) falls five places to #8, and bet365 High Flyer, another bet365-exclusive, rises seven places to #10.

Ontario stays anchored, moves beneath

Ontario is relatively stable at the very top, with Area Link Phoenix Firestorm (Games Global) holding #1 unchanged. Substantial change sits underneath it, with four new entries and one of the report’s bigger single jumps cracking the top ten.

Blue Wizard (Playtech) rises six places to #2, and Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand (Light & Wonder) climbs seven places to #3.

Four titles enter the top ten fresh, including two bet365-exclusive games, bet365 Pop-A-Shot LuckyTap and bet365 High Flyer, at #5 and #6. Amazing Link Zeus Boost (Games Global) produces the biggest single move, climbing 21 places from #29 to #8.

Book and Dead won’t let go in Germany

Germany remains the most locally distinctive market on bet365’s chart, with legacy titles holding firm and newer names slotting into the same handful of themes rather than displacing them. Five of the country’s top ten slots in August are built around a Book or Dead theme, a loyalty to Egyptian-style reels that has not budged all year.

Legacy of Dead (Play’n GO) retains #1, reflecting what the supplier itself calls one of its leading global franchises. Book of Dead (Play’n GO) slips two places to #6.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe (Greentube), Book of Ra Magic (Greentube), Book of Ra (Greentube) and Cash Connection – Golden Book of Ra (Greentube) round out four more places in the top ten, giving Novomatic’s studio the single largest share of the chart.

Royal Seven XXL (Gamomat) rises two places to #3, Sticky Diamonds (Gamomat) climbs one place to #7, and Shogun’s Secret (Gamomat) is August’s biggest German mover, up 20 places to #8.

Fruit Mania (Bally Wulff) makes the sharpest jump on the chart, climbing 16 places to #4.

Greece crowns a new favourite

Greece produces the month’s most striking new leader, as a mummy-themed newcomer unseats last month’s top title within weeks of launch.

Bill & Coin 2: Mummy Mischief (Relax Gaming) enters directly at #1, displacing Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness (Play’n GO) to #3. Relax Gaming built the sequel around the same mechanics as the original Bill & Coin, adding new features on top.

Mighty Hot Wilds (Inspired) rises one place to #2, Golden Winner (Inspired) holds steady at #7, Super Hot Fruits (Inspired) climbs five places to #8, and Stacked Fire 7’s (Inspired) rises five places to #9 – four titles from the same UK-based studio behind the UK’s own #1 slot.

Sizzling Hot Deluxe (Greentube) slips two places to #4. The Dog House Megaways (Pragmatic Play) climbs four places to #5, and Gates of Olympus 1000 (Pragmatic Play) falls four places to #10.

Rise of Olympus 100 (Play’n GO) is the market’s biggest climber outside the top three, up nine places to #6.

Playtech casts its spell

Spain’s chart moved almost as fast as Canada’s this month, with three different Playtech titles cracking the top ten alongside a brand-new #1.

Bet It on the Glitz Re-Flash (Foxium) jumps 20 places from #21 to #1, a striking result for a game that only went live on 28 July. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (Pragmatic Play) rises three places to #3.

Blue Wizard (Playtech) climbs 14 places to #2, Mega Fire Blaze: Wild Pistolero (Playtech) slips three places to #5, and Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus! (Playtech) falls three places to #7 – three titles from the same Rarestone Gaming studio built under Playtech.

Pirots 5 (ELK Studios) enters directly at #4. Spin O’Reely Gold Blitz, a bet365-exclusive title, holds steady at #8, and Rumble Kong CASHINGO (Games Global) falls seven places to #10, having only launched in late July.

An established title also makes a comeback: Book of Dead (Play’n GO) climbs 16 places to #9.

Home advantage in the UK

The UK stays the calmest chart of the lot, with long-established titles holding firm and two of bet365’s own exclusive games sitting inside the top four.

Gold Cash Freespins (Inspired) holds #1 for an eighth straight month, a run stretching back to January for the six-year-old title.

Spin O’Reely Gold Blitz and Sizzling 7’s Fortune, both bet365-exclusive titles built by bet365 Software, hold #3 and rise two places to #4 respectively – giving the operator’s own studio two of the UK’s top four spots.

Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ‘Em In (Blueprint Gaming) rises two places to #2, and Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch (Blueprint Gaming) leaps 20 places to #6.

bet365 names Fishin’ Frenzy Big Catch Jackpot King (Blueprint Gaming) as its UK game of the month, pairing one of the market’s most established slot brands with a network progressive jackpot.

Luke Rushton, Gaming Product Manager at bet365, said:

“Fishin’ Frenzy has long been one of the most recognisable and successful game brands in the industry. Following the success of Fishin’ Frenzy Big Catch, the addition of Jackpot King has elevated the experience once again, giving players even more opportunities to engage with a familiar favourite.”

Eye of Horus (Reel Time Gaming) jumps 13 places to #5, and Area Link Phoenix Firestorm (Games Global) climbs three places to #7.

Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand (Light & Wonder) rises 11 places to #8. The biggest reversal belongs to Big Bass Bonanza (Pragmatic Play), which falls eight places to #10, while Starburst (NetEnt) drops four places to #9.

US markets shift fastest

No other markets in the report move like America’s regulated states. Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey each reshuffled dramatically in August, and one supplier’s volcano-themed franchise cracked the top ten in all three.

Pennsylvania slot rankings

Pennsylvania produced the report’s most dramatic leaderboard. Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania Slingo jumps ten places to become the new #1, and 10,000 Wonders 10K Ways (ReelPlay) explodes 46 places from #49 to #3, the single biggest mover across the entire 22-market report.

Cash Eruption (IGT) rises one place to #2, Huff N’ Even More Puff Grand (Light & Wonder) climbs four places to #4, and 88 Fortunes (Light & Wonder) falls three places to #9.

Michigan slot rankings

Michigan is more settled at the very top. Hypernova Megaways (ReelPlay) takes #1, up from #2, and Cash Eruption (IGT) climbs two places to #2. Extra Chilli (Big Time Gaming) is the standout mover, jumping 14 places to #8, and Cleopatra (IGT) falls two places to #10.

New Jersey slot rankings

Cash Eruption High Stakes (IGT) surges 14 places to take #1, replacing July’s leader. bet365 Pop-A-Shot LuckyTap, a bet365-exclusive title, climbs eight places to #3, and 7’s Fire Blitz Hotstepper Jackpot Royale Express and 7’s Fire Blitz Win Boost (both White Hat Studios) enter and rise into the top five.

Dubble Bubble LuckyTap (Design Works Gaming) is a new entry at #7.

Push Gaming’s global pick

Fire Cash Push Ways (Push Gaming) earns bet365’s global game of the month, ranking highly in almost every live territory rather than any single market.

Luke Rushton, Gaming Product Manager at bet365, said:

“Fire Cash Push Ways has been a standout success since its exclusive launch on bet365, delivering multi-market success and proving popular with our global customer base.”

New studios land in Brazil and the Netherlands

TaDa Gaming signed a new agreement with bet365 in August, bringing its localised casino content, including the Fortune Gems and Lucky slot series, to bet365’s Brazilian customers.

Separately, CT Interactive went live on bet365 Netherlands with 25 titles, expanding its presence in the regulated Dutch market.

Martin Ivanov, Chief Operating Officer at CT Interactive, said:

“Launching CT Interactive’s titles on bet365 Netherlands is an important achievement in our continued international growth. We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with bet365 and bring our content to Dutch players through a trusted operator.”

bet365 adds poker to its French offering

bet365 launched online poker in France on 5 August, connecting to other sites on the iPoker Europe network operated by Playtech.

The operator was already live with Spanish online poker, and France marks its tenth licensed poker market globally, alongside the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Denmark and Bulgaria.

Christopher Kean, Poker Manager at bet365, said:

“France is one of the most important and attractive markets for online poker in Europe for our players. Our ambition is to offer an experience that stands out through its quality, ease of use and breadth of offering.”

Jackpot365 payouts keep climbing

Since its December 2025 launch, Jackpot365 has paid out more than £113 million across over 268,000 jackpot wins.

August alone accounted for more than 36,000 wins and roughly £14 million in payouts globally, with West Virginia contributing 22 wins worth close to $10,000 in its first days live following the product’s 27 August launch there.

The report lands in the same month bet365 launched in West Virginia, its 18th US state, and expanded its French operation with a new online poker room on Playtech’s iPoker network.

Alberta’s fast-moving chart follows bet365’s market entry in July, and August builds directly on the supplier trends already visible in July’s rankings, when Pragmatic Play and Play’n GO first took hold of several of the same markets.
