Most Engaging Game Providers on Great.com by September Data

Great.com ranked ten game studios by average session time, based on September demo data. ELK Studios came first, followed by Inspired Gaming Group and Pragmatic Play.

The ranking measures how long players stay in demo games, not how many times a game is opened. According to the company, long sessions may mean players are studying a game's mechanics or waiting for its bonus features to trigger. The platform offers free slot games that can be played without depositing money and without cash prizes.

The list also includes Reel Kingdom, Play'n GO, Hacksaw Gaming, PG SOFT, NOVOMATIC, Games Global and Nolimit City. However, the providers' full average times were not published, so the size of the gaps between positions is unknown. The company said some studios that appear near the top of its most-played lists did not make the ranking this month.

ELK Studios has more than 100 games on the platform. Pragmatic Play's catalog contains over 500 games, but the ranking measures session time, not the number of games. Great.com said all providers must pass a minimum activity threshold to be listed, and that this rule is in place to prevent a small number of long visits from determining the results. The threshold's value was not disclosed.

The company also stressed that this data does not show which provider makes the best game, and that demo session time does not directly predict real-money playing behavior. Great.com additionally offers game studios and casino operators data on how long players stay in which markets. It was reported that all of the platform's revenue is donated to charities.
