Area Link Phoenix Firestorms (Games Global), Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch (Blueprint Gaming) and Big Bass Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) rounded out the UK’s top five – all falling one place due to Pirots 4’s popularity.

Elsewhere in Europe, Legacy of Dead (Play’n Go) replaced the perennial favourite Big Bass Splash (Pragmatic Play) in Germany at the top spot. Ramses Book (GAMOMAT) also enjoyed a strong performance in March, rising from 10th to second place.
