BIG LEAP IN NEW GAMES IN H2
We tend to add around 1,000 new games each quarter to the dataset but quarters 3 and 4 typically have more game launches than the first 2 quarters in the year . During the last quarter we added just over 4,300 games ( 1,400 per month ) from 420 studios . The equivalents for this quarter last year were 3,000 from 369 studios .
The average number of game launches per month per studio , when divided by the total number of studios that have games live is 1.7 . If we only consider those studios that actively launched content this last quarter , the figure is 3.4 per month ( Fig 2 ).
PRAGMATIC PLAY REMAINS LARGEST PRODUCER
The top three – Pragmatic Play , Evolution Gaming and Games Global – have all increased their output since last year . Games Global , EGT , Pragmatic Play and Spinomenal are the most prolific producers of slot content and Games Global is now launching around one new slot every day . New entrants to the top 10 production charts are Fazi ( inc . Redstone / Tiptop ), Softswiss ( inc . Bgaming / 1Spin ) and Sega Sammy ( inc . Stakelogic / Silverback ). Total game launches for the last quarter of the top 10 are shown in Fig 3 .
SLOTS SLIDE AS A PERCENTAGE OF CONTENT
Slots make up most of the content across the 3,500 operator sites that we monitor , but their percentage of total continues to decline . They now account for 80 % of all game content across casino pages , down 2 % on last quarter and more than 5 % from this quarter last year . Live games have most improved their share during that same period . The remainder is down to crash games , which now represent 0.5 % of all game tiles ( Fig 4 ).
