EveryMatrix partnered with iGB to research the players’ behavior in six iGaming markets in the world: Colombia, Germany, Brazil, Greece, Peru, and Romania, and the Slot Trumps Player Behaviour Report was finally published. Among them is the Peruvian market, which has undergone significant changes in the slot gaming industry at the end of 2023.
The research was based on the 400 most popular games in the market, and the results were enlightening.

The second place took popular classic slots, with 4.4%, and the third place was divided by Asian-themed, fruit-themed, and mythology-themed games, which earned 2.7% of votes each.
