What I can't understand is the connection between the popularity of the slot and the chance of winning. Where did you get such an idea at all? If we talk about the factors that can influence your victory, it is, for example, the balance and the amount of the deposit.
Yep, each provider and game have different maximum multipliers, RTP, winning way etc. Popularity doesn't mean it always the best worthy game, but sometime people play on there since they're influenced with a streamer who play those game and won huge multipliers. I don't mind to play in new game, but I still stick with the trusted and known provider.

Actually I'm surprised how those games become favorited on Fairspin since in my own experience playing slots in other casino, I don't see these games as the most popular. What I know is only the dog house megaways, wanted dead or a wild, and Aloha King Elvis.
It's questionable how the gate of olympus and sweet bonanza didn't appeared on the top 10 popular games.
