April confirmed that player behavior by GEO is changing faster than expected. While in March the markets were clearly divided into slot-driven and table-heavy, the lines are now beginning to blur, with slots gradually gaining ground even in areas where table games once dominated.

We analyzed what games users played in April and compared the results with March. Below is not just a list of the top games, but a breakdown of changes in each GEO and key patterns that are important to consider when managing traffic.

Australia

Australia continues to focus on slots with Hold and Win mechanics. This trend even intensified in April: almost the entire top slots are variations of the same mechanic (Coin Strike, 15 Dragon Pearls, Supercharged Clovers). The introduction of Coin Up: Lightning adds a lightning element, but doesn’t change the core mechanics.
👉 Change by March: The market has become even more homogeneous—table games have completely disappeared, and the focus has finally shifted to slot mechanics with frequent bonuses.

Austria

Austria remains stable: Book of the Fallen, Legacy of Dead, and Gates of Olympus 1000 hold their positions. The new addition of Lady Wolf Moon is a careful expansion toward more atmospheric slots, but without changing the overall direction.
👉 Changes since March: Minimal – the market continues to balance between classics and modern hits without any dramatic shifts.

Germany

Germany has become even more reclusive in its classics: two Book of Ra titles top the charts, plus the familiar Legacy of Dead and Book of the Fallen.
👉 Change since March: the focus on retro and recognizable brands has intensified, with new mechanics barely making an appearance, and the market becoming even more conservative.

Switzerland

Switzerland shifted toward slots in April. While there was a noticeable balance with roulette in March, the top slots are now almost entirely slot-oriented (Book of the Fallen, Big Wild Buffalo, Hot to Burn).
👉 Change since March: a clear shift from live/table games to slots—audience behavior has become closer to the “mass” trend.

Canada

Canada has begun to shift away from blackjack’s dominance: while American Blackjack and Auto-Roulette remain, slots (Big Bass Splash, Sugar Rush 1000, 3 Lucky Hippos) are noticeably more prominent.
👉 Change since March: The market is becoming more hybrid—interest in slots is growing, but table games haven’t been completely abandoned.

New Zealand

New Zealand shows strong diversification: it has slots, baccarat, and even general slot traffic.
👉 Change since March: less focus on global hits (Gates of Olympus dropped), more experimentation and a more balanced approach across different game types.

Finland

Finland remains committed to table games (Blackjack, Blackjack VIP), but is actively embracing new formats like Aviator.
👉 Change since March: Crash games and riskier formats have gained interest, but the basic pattern (low volatility + control) remains.

Ireland

Ireland continues its focus on “casual” slots, but in April, more 1000x mechanics were added (9 Coins 1000x Edition, Sun of Egypt 3).
👉 Change since March: increased interest in more volatile slots – audiences are gradually moving away from simpler games to potentially more profitable ones.

Norway

Norway has become more diverse: in addition to Gates of Olympus, Lightning Roulette and new slots like Spinata Grande have appeared.
👉 Change since March: the mix of slots and live games has increased, while the key hits remain—the market is expanding rather than changing radically.

Conclusion

April saw a shift toward unification of slot content—more and more GEOs are shifting toward slots, even those previously dominated by table games (Canada, Switzerland).

At the same time:

• Classic markets (Germany) are becoming even more conservative;
• Hybrid GEOs (Canada, Finland) are starting to test new formats;
• Slot-driven GEOs (Australia) are reinforcing current trends rather than changing them.

👉 Key insight:
While in March there was a clear split between slots and tables, in April slots are beginning to gain ground in almost all regions—but at different speeds.

👉 For affiliates:

Scaling with slots has become easier (they are popular almost everywhere)
But local patterns are still critical: in some places only Hold & Win will be popular, while in others only classic or live games will be popular.
