bet365 has been live in West Virginia for just over a month, and the operator’s latest slot charts revealed the games that have got off to a strong start in the state.
ReelPlay’s Hypernova Megaways led the way in the Mountain State, followed by Jimi Hendrix and Extra Chilli.
Meanwhile, Cash Eruption High Stakes, Cash Eruption and Cash Eruption Big Bank Breakout High Stakes claimed spots four, five and nine, respectively.
There was also space in the charts for Cleopatra Keno, Ultimate Fire Link Cash Falls Olvera Street, Huff N’ Lots of Puff and Wolf it up!.
Hypernova Megaways enjoyed strong success across the US in September, scooping the top spot in Michigan and also rising to eighth place in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Further north in Canada, there was plenty of movement as Area Link Phoenix Firestorm rose to the top spot.
Amazing Link Zeus and Amazing Link Zeus Boost from SpinPlay Games climbed four and 35 places, respectively, to take second and third place.
Spin O’Reely Gold Blitz, Gold Blitz, Fishin Pots of Gold, Bigger Bass Splash and Eruption Blaze CASHINGO were also games that did not feature in August’s charts.
Similarly, in Alberta, Amazing Link Zeus climbed one spot to first place as August’s leader, Fortune of Olympus, dropped to third. The pair flanked Rise of Olympus 100, which rose 29 places to second.
Pirots 5 enjoys European success
Elsewhere, Pirots 5 by ELK Studios enjoyed strong popularity in Europe, as it reached number one in Spain and second in the UK.
The UK success builds on previous iterations of the Pirots series, which topped the UK charts in February.
In Spain, Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus! and Mega Fire Blaze: Wild Pistolero filled the remaining podium spots, while Gold Cash Freespins maintained its reign as the UK’s favourite and Fishin’ Frenzy Lure Em In dropped one place to third.
There was little change in Germany, as Legacy of Dead retained the top spot. bet365 noted that book-style titles continue to be a favourite of players in the market.
Book of Dead, Book of Ra Magic, Book of Ra Deluxe and Ramses Book all featured in the top ten.
A notable absence
One notable absence from bet365’s September charts was Brazil, after operators in the country were forced to pull their offering following the publication of a Provisional Measure by President Lula Da Silva banning the online gambling market.
The market officially went offline overnight on 5 October, and operators must now wait until after the country’s general election before a Supreme Court judge will pass down a ruling on the validity of the measure.
Neither Lula nor his primary opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro, gained enough voter share for victory in the first round of voting, meaning a run-off vote will now take place on 25 October.
Before the shutdown, bet365 had found that Brazilian players had a propensity for big franchises, as Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and Aviator had retained top spots in the game and crash game categories for a second successive month in August.
