Getting a glimpse of what’s going on behind the scenes is always fun. I know many of you have followed our series of articles on various casino markets across the world and the preferences of its casino players.
EveryMatrix and iGamingBusiness have done their research and taken us from market to market over a few months now and shared the results with the ones willing to listen. Personally I’ve found it to be eye-opening, which is why I make sure to pass the information on to you guys.
Differences vs Similarities
After having covered the player preferences in Colombia, Brazil, Romania and Greece, the latest market to explore is Germany. Do the German players love Aviator like the Colombians? Are they thrill-seekers like the Brazilians? Perhaps their sessions are longer than the Greeks and are Fruit slots the favorite, just like in Romania? I suggest you keep reading and you’ll have the answers in no time.
Top 5 Game Themes Among German Players
Favorite German slot themes
Animals Leading the Charge
I am a little bit surprised that Animals is the most popular slot theme in multiple markets. On the other hand, there are SO many options under the “Animal-flag” so I guess it makes sense. Fruits coming in at a close second, I’ll never understand. The reason being that I’m not a fan of the old fruit machines and they have never been my first choice.
Out of the 5 on the list, my picks would probably be:
- Adventure
- Fantasy
- Animals
- Classic (whatever that means)
- Fruits
Category Breakdown
I wouldn’t mind seeing a breakdown of how many games each category has, although that would be incredibly difficult to get due to the amount of providers. The stats in the image above are based on 1,431 games while the one below had 1,865 games.
Greece loves its Fruits
Just to compare the numbers to what’s going on in Greece, you can see that Fruit is dominating Zeus-nation. In order to get a better understanding of why the list looks the way it does, I think taking a peek at providers and games will be helpful.

Who Are the Top Game Providers?
There are of course some big names on this list, some more well known than others. Considering the longevity of Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play and Microgaming, it’s expected to see them among the Top 10.
They are all some of my favorites but I’m also a fan of ELK, especially the quality of graphics they keep on pushing.
Ok, so now we know who’s supplying the most popular games to German players but which of them do they enjoy playing the most?
Top 20 slots
The Most Popular Games in Germany
Before we get into it, here are the number one slot in the other markets:
- Colombia – Aviator
- Brazil – Fortune Tiger
- Romania – Shining Crown
- Greece – Legacy of Dead
With Play’n GO sitting at the top of the providers list is of course a result of the two most popular games being Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead. There’s no denying the popularity of these two games across the globe and Play’n GO has been producing hit upon hit for a long time.
Book of Dead by Play’n GO
Legacy of Dead by Play’n GO is number 2 on the list
Who’s Up for Bass Fishing?
When it comes to fishing, especially for bass, nobody gets close to Pragmatic Play. These guys have owned the fishing market for quite some time and I have to admit that I’m a fan. It’s something special being able to transfer the peace and quiet of fishing from real life to the slot reels.
It’s not an easy task but with 3 titles on the Top 20 list, Pragmatic Play deserves all the credit for doing a great job.

Where to Play the Games
If you want to find out what the fuss is about, both Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead and Big Bass Bonanza can be found at:
Full throttle in terms of volatility
Wagering Behavior of German Players
What about the actual behavior of the players? Well, the stats that were reported show the following:
- Average Bet Size – €0.52
- Volatility – The Germans seem to be an All-or-Nothing type of players because they do prefer high volatility games. I like it and even though the wins can seem few and far between, they feel a lot better once they arrive.
- Game Sessions – German players average around 59 bets per game session
Compared to Romania (50% more bets) and Greece (30% more bets), the Germans place a lot less bets every time they play. This could have to do with certain restrictions.
