It’s the last day of casino gaming for the past year. We experienced the usual frenzied games from Nolimit City, but we also experienced a few bangers from Hacksaw and perhaps my favorite games of the year from AvatarUX, Donkey, and The GOATS. But as I’ve learned over my years in gaming, the games reviewers like aren’t always the ones players actually like. This year is no different.
There are a few new additions to the list, but few are surprising. The top spot was secured by the same game that has held the top spot almost since its release in 2020. Without looking any further, here are the top 10 most popular games among BitStarz players in 2023:
10. Aztec Magic Deluxe – BGaming

This is just one of four BGaming games that made the list. If you can believe it, this game is also the first of two Aztec Magic games. Aztec Magic Deluxe was originally released in 2018, and while it looks like it could be left off the 2024 list, it’s currently on hold.
The 5-reel slot is fairly basic and features wilds and scatters that unlock 10 free spins. That’s what it’s about. The slot has low volatility and an RTP rating of 96.96%.
9. Element of the Dragon – Platyphus
play now
Platipus games are also a staple of the top ten list, and Dragon’s Element has been a part of that for a long time since its release in 2020. This slot has a very calming oriental theme that definitely has a meditative effect.
The slot has a very wild free spins feature that gives you up to 50 free spins when triggered. The madness continues when the free spins round begins with the Wild Connect feature that can cover the entire 5×4 slot with wild symbols.
8. Magic Wolf – Platypus
play now
Released in 2018, Magic Wolf has an arctic tundra theme that has always been incredibly popular among players. The slot has a really fun free spins feature where you can choose from three different rounds, each with their own wild bonus feature.
7. Blackjack – BitStarz Originals
play now
In 2022, we were thrilled when we released the first drop of BitStarz Originals, the games we developed for our players. The game focuses on exploration in its purest form, valuing speed and fun gameplay above all else. Since we were new to developing games, we weren’t sure how our game would be received. But our concerns could not have been more unfounded. We couldn’t be more humbled by how our players have received the BitStarz Originals games.
In the second year since the first game was released, three games have ranked in the top 10 most popular of the year. First on the list is blackjack. It’s a game I’ve always loved and continue to enjoy playing.
6. Aztec Magic – BGaming
play now
The second Aztec Magic game on the list, this time the original OG, was released in 2015. This is also the oldest game on the list, and the graphics clearly show it. But that didn’t stop this BGaming slot from becoming one of the most popular slots of the year. There isn’t much to this slot, with the wild and scatter symbols unlocking a very basic free spins feature.
5. Gold Rush Frog – BGaming
play now
From oldest to newest. Gold Rush Frog launched earlier this year as a BitStarz exclusive from BGaming. That’s right, you won’t find this anywhere else. The game features the ever-popular BGaming frog characters and has an impressive array of bonus features. The high volatility may be a bit disappointing, but that certainly hasn’t stopped people from playing.
4. Slots – BitStarz Originals
play now
This is the second BitStarz Originals game on the list. Slots, if you haven’t already guessed, are slot games. It features five reels and a pub-floor fruit slot aesthetic. If you’ve ever played slots at a bar on a Saturday evening, this game will make you nostalgic.
3. Plinko – BitStarz Original
play now
Now you can say Plinko is Plinko, but what is Plinko? Do you see what I mean? Simply put, when you bet on Plinko, a coin lands in a pin maze, and the coin eventually goes down to the floor and lands in one of 11 baskets, each with a unique multiplier value. It’s really simple. If you’re counting, this is the third and final BitStarz Originals game on the list.
2. Wild Spin – Platypus
play now
Wild Spin is in second place, but misses out on the top spot by a long way. This year’s #1 slot attracted as many players as Wild Spin and Plinko combined. That said, Platipus’ Wild Spin took the second spot.
Released in 2020, Wild Spin is essentially a powerful fruit slot with a jackpot attached. This has led to it entering a variety of niche markets, and it’s no surprise that it’s garnered the attention of many players.
1. Elvis Frog in Las Vegas – BGaming
play now
What about this damn frog? I do not understand. Why is BGaming’s Elvis Frog the most popular slot, month after month, year after year? do not misunderstand. There are no problems with the game. In addition to a few other interesting bonus features, there is a round of free spins and a hold-and-win bonus game. However, this is by no means the only slot game with many interesting features. This continues to be a mystery to me. However, this year it has once again become the most popular game among BitStarz payers.
