According to a monthly report that ranks U.S. slot games based on performance, International Game Technology’s Cash Eruption has held the No. 1 ranking for three months.

The monthly Online Game Performance Report (OGPR), published by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG) and Fantini Research, tracks how games perform in the U.S. online casino market.

EKG collects game performance data directly from online casino operators monthly. That information is organized into a database that currently tracks 480,000 slots or 40% of the North American market.

One chart in the 69-page report lists the top 25 online slots. Games are ranked in the chart by their Theo Win Index. Theo describes the expected house win for a player, based on the total amount wagered by the player and the game played. A higher Theo Win Index results in a higher ranking on the chart.

Cash Eruption

There is no question why Cash Eruption is the hottest game around right now. You can explore a volcano of cash rewards; no science degree is required. The rewards get even hotter when three or more volcanos in the game trigger the Free Spin Bonus. Keep an eye on reels two, three, and four to erupt into jumbo symbols and ensure explosive wins. But there is always more coming from the volcano.

A Cash Eruption Bonus is triggered when six or more Fireball scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels in the base game. Collect all 15 Fireballs to win the sizzling Grand Treasure.

Cash Eruption features 20 fixed paylines and four jackpot wins at the top of the screen; Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. The Grand jackpot can hit $10,000 depending on the size of your bet. The game has a minimum bet of $0.20 per spin and goes up to a maximum of $40 per spin.

The OGPR published by EKG shows Cash Eruption is online at 29 U.S. casinos. The average bet on the game is $1.72 and ranks No. 1 with a Theo Win Index of 26.47. The No.2 game in the top 25, Capitals Gains, has a Theo Win Index 16.06.

Based on EKG’s monthly reports, Cash Eruption has held a top-five position since December 2023. The game is available at BetMGM, Caesars, Golden Nugget, DraftKings, PokerStars, FanDuel, BetRivers, and other online casinos.

Switching from online to retail land-based casinos, IGT had another No.1 slot hit the charts on the casino floor.

New Tiger and Dragon

IGT said on Monday its new multi-level progressive game, Tiger and Dragon, recently debuted on casino floors across the U.S. “Tiger and Dragon combines new and proven mechanics with high bonus frequencies for an action-packed entertainment experience,” IGT said in a company press release.

EKG’s report for May immediately placed the new Tiger and Dragon game at the No. 1 position in their Top Indexing NEW Games – Premium Leased & WAP category.
