Published: September 4, 2024 | Author: Ron Clarke
As we continue our journey through Latin America’s dynamic online casino market, we turn to the latest data from Betsson Group for August 2024. This month, Betsson Group’s report focuses on only the top 3 games in each country, compared to the top 5 featured in previous months. August brings both consistency and notable shifts in gaming preferences across the region. Let’s dive into the details and compare these trends with the data from previous months, offering insights into the evolving tastes of Latin American players.
Mexico: Stability and Return of Popular Titles
In Mexico, Oink Oink Oink has returned to the number one spot after being overtaken by Xtreme Lightning Roulette in July. This re-establishes the dominance that Oink Oink Oink had maintained consistently from earlier months, such as April, May, and June. The second position goes to Blackjack 5 hand, a game that wasn’t as prominent in July but has reemerged, indicating a rekindled interest in card games. Gates of Olympus continues to feature in the top three, demonstrating its lasting appeal among Mexican players. The ongoing popularity of this game aligns with its presence in the top slots throughout June and July.
Ecuador: A Fresh Favorite Emerges
In Ecuador, a new leader has emerged for August: Bison Moon. This marks the first appearance of this game at the top, pushing aside Sweet Bonanza Candyland, which had dominated the charts in July, June, and May. Gates of Olympus holds the second spot, maintaining its presence as a constant favorite across various Latin American markets. The third position goes to Aviator, a consistent contender in July but now making a return to the top three, reflecting a balanced interest between high-energy games and thematic slots.
Colombia: Familiar Trends and Consistency
Colombian players continue to favor Aviator, with the game retaining its top position yet again, much as it did in previous months. First Person Blackjack has moved up to second place, suggesting a growing interest in immersive card games. The ongoing success of Gates of Olympus in third place reflects its enduring appeal, appearing regularly in Colombia’s top games since April.
Brazil: Aviator Soars, Fortune Tiger Roars
In Brazil, Aviator continues its reign, echoing its top position from July and several months prior. This trend showcases the game’s widespread popularity in Brazil’s online casino market. Fortune Tiger rises to the second spot this month, demonstrating an increased interest in thematic slot games, while Wolf Gold completes the top three. The dominance of Aviator in Brazil mirrors its standing in Colombia and other Latin American countries, reinforcing its cross-regional appeal.
Peru: A Stronghold for Gates of Olympus
In Peru, Gates of Olympus solidifies its hold on the number one position, repeating its top ranking from previous months like March and June. This game has clearly resonated with Peruvian players, providing consistent entertainment. Sweet Bonanza and Buffalo King Megaways slots also rank in the top three, indicating a sustained preference for dynamic and engaging slot games with rich graphics and themes. Notably, Live Baccarat, which held the top spot in July, has completely dropped out of the top three, further emphasizing the growing dominance of slot games in the Peruvian market over traditional table games.
Argentina: Joker’s Jewels Remains Unbeaten
Argentina continues to show its unwavering preference for Joker’s Jewels, which remains at the top for another month. Joker’s Jewels Jackpot Play secures the second position, further cementing this slot’s status as a favorite among Argentine players. Gates of Olympus slot machine maintains a foothold in the top three, continuing its streak as a popular game not only in Argentina but across Latin America.
One of the most prominent trends we see in August is the decline in the popularity of table games across the Latin American markets. In particular, live roulette and online roulette. Roulette games, which ranked at the top in July—Xtreme Lightning Roulette in Mexico, Red Door Roulette in Brazil, and Ruleta Relampago en Vivo in Colombia—did not make it into the top 3 in any of the markets this month. This marks a significant shift from July, when roulette games were a strong contender across multiple regions.
The data also showcases a continued dominance of slots like Aviator and Gates of Olympus, which maintain their top spots across several countries. Additionally, new entries such as Bison Moon in Ecuador show that players are still exploring fresh gaming experiences. Overall, Latin American players are demonstrating a stronger preference for engaging, thematic slot games over traditional table games, signaling a shift in market dynamics.
