Playtech’s Goblin’s Cave is the most popular slot of 2020
Leading online casino comparison site JohnSlots, a Catena Media brand, has revealed the most popular slots in 2020 so far and surprisingly perhaps, it is Playtech’s Goblin’s Cave which is the obvious favourite.
To determine the most sought-after titles of the year, JohnSlots has conducted its own research into which game reviews have been searched for the most on its site so far this year. Goblin’s Cave, a high RTP (return to player) slot, is miles ahead, with NetEnt’s timeless classic, Starburst, coming in second place.
Microgaming slots have also proved particularly popular among JohnSlots users, with five of their titles – Private Eye, Mega Moolah, Immortal Romance, 9 Pots of Gold and Thunderstruck 2 – appearing in the list of 2020’s ten hottest slots.
The analysis then goes on to look at visits vs search volume, which shows the comparison between how many players have been searching for a slot and how many of those players then read about that slot on JohnSlots.
In addition, JohnSlots offers some insights into the top slot providers of the year as well as the top slots by country in some key markets. Microgaming’s 9 Pots Of Gold takes the top spot in the UK, with Legacy of Dead (Play’n GO) leading the way in Germany. Pragmatic Play’s new slot The Dog House Megaways is number one in Sweden.
James Byrne, Senior Content Editor at JohnSlots, said: “There are some really interesting results to take away from this data. While we might have expected universally popular titles like Book of Dead or Starburst to be way out in front, players are clearly interested in trying new and even lesser known games in 2020.
“This is particularly the case when looking at the results in individual countries like the UK, Germany and Sweden. Having said that, when looking at the data as a whole, there is a clear trend for players engaging with high RTP slots, as well as some of the timeless classics.”

Play’n GO recruits the entire Wilde family for their latest adventure, Wildest Gambit
Play’n GO invites players to join the Wilde family in Wildest Gambit, a globe-trotting 5×3 slot that combines adventure, mystery, and massive win potential with an x20,000 Multiplier.
Wildest Gambit unites the legendary Wilde family – Rich, Cat, and Uncle Gerard – in an epic journey across four unique destinations. From the golden sands of Egypt to the dense jungles of South America, players will experience a dynamic blend of Expanding, Sticky, and Multiplier Wilds. These Wilds can be activated in both the base game and Free Spins: offering players more opportunities to score big wins. Each location brings a unique challenge, rewarding intrepid explorers with treasure beyond their wildest dreams.
The slot’s defining mechanics include the fusion of three distinct Wilds: Sticky Wilds lock in place to trigger Re-Spins, Expanding Wilds stretch across the reels for more winning potential, and Multiplier Wilds offer up to x8 win boosts. By combining these features, Wildest Gambit crafts a multi-layered adventure, reflecting Play’n GO’s commitment to delivering immersive experiences and engaging narratives.
Fans of the series will notice nods to earlier titles like Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity (2024) and Gerard’s Gambit (2023). Equally, fans of the Play’n GO classic Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead (2016) and Pilgrim of Dead (2023) may find the game mechanically similar with the presence of Expanding Symbols.
However, Wildest Gambit pushes the adventure to new heights with its family-focused narrative and inventive Wild combinations, creating a fresh yet familiar experience. Players looking for excitement, exploration, and engaging gameplay will find it all here.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin, said: “Wildest Gambit is a standout title in our Wilde saga. By combining three Wild features across various locations, we’ve given players new layers of gameplay and greater win potential.”
With its stunning visuals, engaging features, and the legendary Wilde family leading the charge, Wildest Gambit promises an unforgettable journey. Prepare to explore new horizons with every spin!

SavageTech launches SKINS to power up igaming brands’ sponsorship deals
SavageTech, the world’s first true gamified retention solution, has launched SKINS, enabling operators to extract more value from their sponsorship IP deals.
SavageTech, which was launched in April this year by esports and iGaming entrepreneur Tom Lemke, is a plug-and-play widget that adds a seamless engagement layer for players.
Requiring just a single line of code, SavageTech gamifies the gambling experience with integrated bonus rewards, quest-based cross-sale opportunities and community building with social leaderboards.
SavageTech is currently integrating with five B2C brands – with the first expected to go live early next year – and announced its first significant product update during the SiGMA Europe Summit in Malta last week with the launch of SKINS.
SKINS allows clients to customise the theme of the gamification layer, including the avatar, progression challenges and rewards. For example, the avatar can become a football player improving their skills and winning trophies or a soldier earning equipment and winning battles.
Themes can be fully customised to best engage operators’ audiences and adapted to maximise value from sponsorship IP deals.
Lemke, a founder of two of Germany’s biggest esports teams in Mousesports and BIG, said: “Many brands spend a serious chunk of their marketing budget on licensing IP and SavageTech provides another channel to maximise value from those deals.
“Imagine your audience playing as real football stars or beloved characters. Using SavageTech, companies can showcase real athletes, entertainers, or branded avatars, instantly enhancing engagement and immersion.
“The feedback we’ve received from clients and prospects made SKINS a product priority for us. Sportsbooks and Casinos are now able to fully customise the SavageTech widget to make sure it’s highly relevant to players and therefore an even stronger loyalty tool.
“SavageTech has been built to tackle a growing problem facing many igaming companies in that Gen Y and Z customers find gambling boring. True gamification helps solve that problem and there is simply no cheaper way to retain valuable players, including VIPs.”
