Methodology

Our ranking methodology evaluates slot game performance across 62 major US online casinos using three weighted metrics: Casino Availability (tracking distribution across operators), Lobby Visibility (measuring prominence in casino lobbies), and Position Analysis (examining average game placement). These factors combine into a comprehensive total score (0-100) determining each game’s final ranking. The ranking framework is supported by data collected via IGamingCompass’s automated tracking system, which scans casino lobbies to capture accurate visibility and positioning metrics.
