Another year is almost done, and it’s time to take a look at the best online casino games in the UK, according to players. If you’re thinking about specific titles, you may be right: some games are so popular, even after years of being released, that they remain some of the most played.
There are also some surprises since most people think slot games are the most popular form of entertainment when it comes to online casinos, and rightly so. These games are so popular there are exclusive platforms for them. It will be no surprise that most top-played games are slots.
Without further ado, let’s check the most beloved online casino games for UK players in 2022.
Book Of Dead Online Slot Machine
This is a 2016 slot and still one of the most-played games worldwide, including in the UK. What’s the secret of Book of Dead’s success? To start with, unlike classic slot machines, it is packed with features.
One is the exciting free spins round, which has expanding symbols to help you get more free spins. But perhaps one of the most exciting characteristics of this game is the maximum prize of 5,000x your bet.
Some people believe that Book of Dead is part of the “Book” series started in 2005 by Novomatic with Book of Ra, but that’s not the case. Book of Dead is a standalone title by Play’n GO, which has some similarities with the series.
Roulette vs Craps
Of course, one of the most popular casino games is also one of the most beloved options for online casino enthusiasts. Nothing beats the excitement of the precious moments before the dealer rolls the ball. This thrill is also shared with craps players; after they find out how to play craps and the dice are thrown, roulette undoubtedly is the more popular of the two.
In the online world, there are many different variants, including American and European versions of roulette, which can be played as a regular RNG game or its live counterpart.
Live Roulette games are the most popular. You can watch a real dealer performing the actions just like in a physical casino, with different camera angles and unique features. One of the most popular live roulette games is Lightning Roulette.
Mega Moolah
Some people go to casinos to try their luck at roulette. Others want to play craps,
or even classic slot machines. And others dream of winning at Mega Moolah.
In case you don’t know, Mega Moolah has achieved an incredible accolade: it’s in the Guinness World Records for delivering the highest-paying online jackpot ever: a mouth-watering £13,209,300 which was won by Jon Heywood, and guess what? He’s from the UK.
As you can imagine, this has been ingrained in the UK’s collective consciousness since then, and many have tried to replicate Heywood’s success.
Starburst
Starburst is everything right with online slots. Beautiful yet simple graphics, engaging game mechanics, and many win opportunities allowed this title to become one of the most successful casino games of all time.
This NetENT slot has just ten pay lines, and it’s still enticing thanks to its special feature. In Starburst, you can get Wilds covering the entire reel, and if a new wild symbol appears, it remains, adding a re-spin.
It’s much better to see this feature in action, so if you haven’t done so yet, take a look at this incredibly popular slot after reading this article!
Blackjack
Even though comparing any single online blackjack title against top slots would be a moot point, all of them combined are some of the most beloved online casino games out there.
Blackjack being popular is a logical thing to assume since it’s one of the most played games in brick-and-mortar casinos.
In blackjack, you only need to get a hand with a value of 21 to win. If you don’t, the hand closest to 21 wins, be it yours or the dealer’s. This simple premise has a hidden layer of strategy and excitement that any blackjack player knows about.
Some of the most popular blackjack titles in the UK in 2022 are Blackjack First Person, Classic Blackjack, Infinity Blackjack, and Vegas Blackjack.
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways
This NetENT title is one of the most popular slot games ever. Not only that, it’s a spin-off from another incredibly successful slot: Gonzo’s Quest. In both, you follow the adventures of Spanish Conquistador Gonzalo Pizarro, looking for the fabled El Dorado.
The regular version has a fixed grid and many features. The Megaways version is particular because symbols vary in size, so there is no fixed grid. In fact, there are 117,649 possible combinations that land wins.
This feature ensured Gonzo’s Quest Megaways dethroned its older brother in popularity, even though both are outstanding games with distinctive features.
Summing Up: A Great Year for iGaming
With more online casino fans each day, more incredible titles, and more of everything, 2022 has been an incredible year for the iGaming industry. Hopefully, 2023 will bring even more achievements and fun for everyone.
