Key Trends Closing 2024
As 2024 ends, the data reveals that slots have continued to dominate Latin America’s online casino market. New entries like Sweet Bonanzasson in Ecuador and Caramel Hot in Peru demonstrate a growing preference for engaging, thematic slot games. Notably, Aviator, which held strong rankings in multiple countries throughout the year, has been overtaken in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, signaling a shift away from table games and high-energy formats.
Traditional table games like roulette and blackjack, which saw a resurgence in earlier months, are absent from December’s top charts, suggesting a waning interest in these formats as players favor dynamic and thematic slots.
