New Trends Among Online Casinos in 2024-2025

In 2024 and 2025 there has been a significant trend among online casinos regarding the popularity of software providers.

While NetEnt used to be among the more popular providers, the focus has shifted more over to Pragmatic Play.

Pragmatic Play is well-known for hosting casino games in categories such as table games, slot games, and live games.

Among these, games like Big Bass Splash, which is featured as the no-wagering slot where players can claim free spins with no wagering requirement, have become the number one pick.

Big Bass Splash is a slot game with an RTP of 96.7%, high volatility, free spins, and a max win of up to 2,100x your stake, which gives players an extra chance for a big payout in 2024-2025.

If we analyze the top slot software providers in 2024-2025 using Google Analytics, we will see the following trend over the past year: Pragmatic Play has become the most searched provider, followed by NetEnt. Below is a full chart:

As we can see in the graph above, this shift in interest began back in 2020 and has continued growing until 2024-2025, where more new slot sites feature them as the main go-to slots.

The main contributor to this shift has been Pragmatic Play's Drops and Wins promotions, along with tournaments for players looking to wager on table games, where they have a chance to hit an extra big payout.

Popular Software Provider Features in 2024-2025

Below are some of the latest and trending features among the top-tier software providers from Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, NetEnt, and Evolution Gaming, and what new features players can experience in 2024-2025.

Pragmatic Play

This software provider has become the top pick among online casinos in 2024-2025 to host in their game lobby, both for its features such as Megaways, paylines, wilds, slot themes, high volatility, low volatility, and live casino games where players can wager on most table games with a live dealer.

We have also seen that Pragmatic Play has started offering live roulette games with multiplayer to meet the high demand from players, with Lucky 6 Roulette featuring as many as 6 multiplayer.

There is a growing trend among online casinos to host live casino games, and we see that Pragmatic Play is well-positioned to provide these games and will continue to grow in this category moving forward.

NetEnt

This software provider is well known for providing some of the highest-fidelity video slots with beautiful graphics and stunning sound effects, where the main focus of late has been on slot games over table games.

NetEnt is well-positioned when it comes to bringing new slot games to the gaming industry, although they have been falling behind a bit when it comes to table games.

We see that NetEnt is well-positioned when it comes to slot games and has started to feature more slot games focused on VR, where players can get a more enhanced experience. We expect NetEnt will continue to focus on this moving forward.

Play'n GO

Play'n GO keeps growing and can now almost be found at any new slot site, where some of its slots are featured among casinos in their bonuses, where players can claim free spins with no wagering requirements in 2024-2025.

It features some of the most interesting slot games that come with gamble mechanics that are not affected by the RTP (Return to Player), where players can gamble any winnings with the chance of an extra payout.

We see that the provider will keep bringing new mechanics next year in the area of video slots, where the main focus has been on storytelling this year and unique game mechanics such as cluster paylines and gamble functions.

Evolution Gaming

Evolution Gaming is best known for hosting some of the highest quality live casino games, where all games are streamed live from their studios with live dealers. They are truly the go-to when it comes to live casino games such as roulette, baccarat, and blackjack.

Here, we can find some of the more unique games that come with multiplayer options and higher payout tables that players can wager on in 2024-2025.

We don’t see Evolution Gaming shifting their main focus, which is on live casino games, and they will even bring more to the table this year with higher quality.

What to Expect from Online Casinos in 2024 and 2025

As we have seen with Pragmatic Play's growing trend among players, more casinos will not only start to feature them in their game lobbies but also in their promotions and bonuses to attract players.

There has been a big shift, with the number one bonus players are looking for being the no-wagering bonus, which can almost be found at any new casino site in 2024-2025, where players can claim free spins that come with no wagering requirements.

Not only are these bonuses easy to understand for new players, as they don’t come with wagering requirements that have, for a long time, been confusing for players to follow.

We see this move among casinos as a positive step and hope more online casinos will jump on this trend as we go forward in 2024-2025.
