Supplier counts across 50 games in AskSpinner’s Nigeria research list, 21 Aug 2026.

Aviator and the other crash titles

Aviator led the research table at 38.60. Other crash titles included JetX at 35.04 and Spaceman at 33.91, putting several suppliers into this part of the list.

Spribe describes Aviator as a multiplayer social game built around a rising curve that can crash at any moment. It supports mobile, desktop and tablet use, with compatibility for low-bandwidth connections and less powerful devices.

SmartSoft dates JetX’s launch to 2018. The research also recorded a dedicated Crash Games category in BetKing’s navigation.

Gates of Olympus becomes a family

Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000 both scored 38.15. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter appeared at 34.51 and Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 at 15.04, placing the original, updated and seasonal versions in the same table.

Announced in December 2023, the 1000 version kept the Greek mythology theme, Zeus, crowns and gems, and the original 6x5 tumbling grid. Expanded multipliers were the main change described in the announcement. The series shows how a supplier can revise a feature while retaining a familiar theme and layout.

How live studio games differ

Evolution’s Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette both scored 38.15, followed by Dream Catcher at 33.56 and Monopoly Live at 33.31. The research recorded these different formats together in Bet9ja’s Live Casino section.

Evolution’s 2019 annual report traces the money-wheel format to Dream Catcher in 2017, followed by Lightning Roulette in 2018 and Monopoly Live in 2019. Crazy Time launched in July 2020 with a studio host, a large main wheel and four bonus rounds.

Lightning Roulette adds audiovisual effects and random digital multipliers to a traditional table game. The money-wheel shows use a different production format, combining studio sets, presenters and broadcast technology. Those differences are easy to miss when the products appear as adjacent lobby thumbnails.

Candy themes, fishing games and a live show

Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush both scored 37.55; their 1000 versions both scored 33.22. The candy imagery is similar, but the mechanics differ. Sugar Rush’s June 2022 release described a 7x7 cluster-pay grid, tumbling sequences and positional multipliers.

Big Bass Bonanza recorded 34.51 and Big Bass Splash 29.66. Released in June 2022 as the fifth game in the series, Big Bass Splash kept the fishing tackle and aquatic symbols while updating the artwork.

Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, at 28.37, takes the candy theme into a live show. An Italian release announcement from February 2022 described a physical money wheel in a dedicated studio, combining physical sets with virtual candy-themed elements.

Table games and supplier integration

Traditional table formats also appear in the ranking. Spribe’s Mini Roulette and Dice both scored 30.35. Evolution’s Double Ball Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat each scored 28.97.

Pragmatic Play’s Starlight Princess, 5 Lions Megaways, Great Rhino Megaways, Buffalo King Megaways and The Dog House Megaways each scored 28.37. The supplier’s live products Mega Wheel, Mega Roulette and Money Time shared that score.

Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus 1000 announcement described slots, live casino and other products supplied through a single API. One supplier relationship can therefore cover several product categories.

The rest of the fifty-title list

Football X recorded 27.95. SmartSoft’s JetX3, Balloon, Magic Keno and Sic Bo each scored 14.62, while Spribe’s Pilot Chicken and Hilo recorded 17.02.

Evolution’s Lightning Dice, Lightning Baccarat, Immersive Roulette and the RNG-based First Person XXXtreme Lightning Roulette each scored 15.64. Even within this group, the presentation ranges from live production to an RNG format.

Four suppliers account for all fifty entries in this list. Their catalogues span slot series, live shows, traditional tables and instant games, often under the same supplier name.

Summary

Aviator led the August index, but the full list reveals several approaches to building a catalogue. Pragmatic Play extends familiar slot families; Evolution develops live studio formats; SmartSoft and Spribe contribute crash and other instant games. The supplier records make those product differences clearer than the scores alone.

Research methodology

AskSpinner identified 210 game-and-supplier combinations across 20 operator-lobby samples, supported by public operator pages, for the August 21, 2026 study. Ahrefs Keywords Explorer checked Nigerian search interest in the identified titles. The Top 50 research index primarily reflects public promotional visibility, supplemented by search signals. It describes the sampled sites at that date, not the number of people playing each game across Nigeria.
