TOP-10 the most popular slots this week
What we consider "popular for the week"
Analysis window: last 7 × 24 hours by target market (one time zone for the entire slice). Segmentation (if traffic is available): mobile/desktop, country/region, new/returning audience. Real money and fan mode separately (two ratings or a single one with notes) are counted.
Minimum sampling tolerances:
Integral scoring (TOP-10 ranking)
Slot count per week = weighted sum of normalized metrics (z-score/percentile):
Thresholds for "healthy" TOP-10
CR start-up ≥ 38-50%,
ASL ≥ median section, SPS - above mean,
BER ~ 1/85-1/140 or MFR (events every 8-25 spins),
Fav/Add ≥ 10–15%, Reopen ≥ 30–45%,
PW100 ≥ 10 (or NPS ≥ 30%),
TTI (web) ≤ 4-6 s, Crash ≤ 0.5%.
Balancing the list (so that the top is not "zakis")
Provider quota: no more than 2 positions from one provider.
Release age: at least 3 places - new items (≤ 45 days), at least 3 - proven hits (≥ 6 months).
Mechanics: the top ten should have different profiles (Respin, Cluster/Tumble, Megaways, Light FS, Sticky).
Anti-abuse: Cut off bursts from a single traffic source or from atypical GEO.
Typical reasons why the slot falls into the TOP-10
1. Live basic gameplay: high HR/MFR, no "empty windows" 40 + spins.
2. Short cycle to the event: respins/random-mods/light FS.
3. Understandable progression: collections, multipliers, trackers.
4. Pure UX: fast start, animation skip, readable counters.
5. Stable technique: low Crash, quick return from the background.

Example of This Week's TOP-10 Structure (Profiles Without Brands)
1. 1 - Leader of the Respins
Respin/Link- & -Win, average volatility, event every 10-18 spins, Fav/Add and Reopen in the top quartile. Frequent mini-pluses, high SPS.
2. 2 - Clusters with progressive factors
Tumbles, cascades, accumulation of mults; long sessions without fatigue, BER moderate, MFR high.
3. 3 - Megaways with rand mods
"Each spin is different" variability, strong launch CR and Reopen.
4. 4 - Light Frispins (Friend Retrigger)
Affordable entry, stable ASL for a new audience, PW100 at the top quartile level.
5. 5 — Sticky/Walking Wilds
Series of 2-4 backs with retention of wilds, bursts of interest in returners.
6. 6 - Progress Hybrid (Collect & Fill)
Visible tracker, "finishing" to the award, Fav/Add grows after 20-40 spins.
7. 7 - Quick Classic 5 × 3
Low-average dispersion, high PW100, strong diary for mobile.
8. 8 - Megaways with an emphasis on large configurations
The variance is slightly higher, but Reopen is kept at the expense of highlights.
9. 9 - Clusters with "field charge"
Predictable progression, even NPS, good for long sessions.
10. 10 - Respin-light (micro-bonuses)
Short cycles, high conversion to favorites for beginners.
How to read metrics (minimum to get into work)
Launch CR = First Spin/Card Views.
ASL - Min/Session; SPS - Spin/Session.
BER - bonuses/100 spins; or MFR - mini events/100 spins.
Fav/Add - add/100 unique; Reopen - share of restarts from Favorites/History sources.
PW100 - profitable backs ≥1×/100; NPS - the share of sessions with the total ≥ of the start-up bank.
TTI - before the first spin (on the web); Crash - drops/1000 sessions.
Normalization: compare by percentile within a week; apply "tail trimming" (winsorize) at the level of 1-2%.
Update Policy and Service Tags
TOP-10 update: once a week, we fix the slice on Monday 00:00 (or another fixed hour).
Position tags: * New (release ≤45 days), * Comeback (up ≥20% from last week), * Riser/Faller (± 2 or more positions), * Evergreen (in the top ≥6 weeks in 3 months).
Conclusion from the top: a drop in the integral score> 15% for two weeks in a row or Crash/errors above the threshold.
Section Publication Checklist
1. Calculate scoring and filter by tolerances.
2. Collect TOP-10 with quotas by providers/age/mechanics.
3. Fill in cards: line of characteristics + 3-5 reason sentences.
4. Tag (* New *, * Riser *, * Evergreen. etc.).
5. Visuals: 2 screens (base/bonus) or GIF ≤2 MB; badges "Fast start," "Works on a mobile."
6. Check localization/currency, page speed, no broken links.
Red flags (do not turn on even at high CR)
Abnormal traffic from one source/region not replicated after 48 hours
Long "quiet" series (DSR high) with low MFR - complaints/deletions from favorites.
Buy Feature, obsessively dominant in the base (breaks rhythm and distorts PW100/NPS).
Crash/reset assets, TTI> 7-8 s on mobile.
Result
Weekly TOP-10 is an integral rating, where the "taste" of players is confirmed by the numbers: CR, ASL/SPS, BER/MFR, Fav/Add, Reopen, PW100/NPS, while the list is balanced by providers, age and mechanics. Follow the thresholds, update the slice at the same time, show brief reasons for each position - and the "Most popular slots so far" section will be accurate, transparent and stable in conversions.
Analysis window: last 7 × 24 hours by target market (one time zone for the entire slice). Segmentation (if traffic is available): mobile/desktop, country/region, new/returning audience. Real money and fan mode separately (two ratings or a single one with notes) are counted.
Minimum sampling tolerances:
- ≥ 2,000 unique players or ≥ 8,000 sessions in 7 days per slot.
- Error/Crash Rate ≤ 0.5% of sessions.
- Remove duplicates of "skins" of one game (leave the version with the largest sample).
Integral scoring (TOP-10 ranking)
Slot count per week = weighted sum of normalized metrics (z-score/percentile):
- CR of starting (15%) - transition from card to first back.
- ASL (15%) - average session duration (min).
- SPS (10%) - spins per session.
- BER/MFR (10%) - the frequency of entry into the bonus or the total frequency of mini-events (event every 8-25 spins is the norm).
- Fav/Add (10%) - favorites/100 unique.
- Reopen (15%) - restarts from favorites/history.
- PW100 (10%) - profitable spins ≥1× bets on 100 spins or NPS (Net-Positive Sessions), if PW100 do not collect.
- Unique Starts (10%) - the volume of real launches (as a counterweight to "local hits" on a small sample).
- Penalties (up to − 15%): Error/Crash, suspected anomalies, too long "quiet" series without events.
💡Example of formula: 'Score = 0. 15·CR + 0. 15·ASL + 0. 10·SPS + 0. 10·(BER|MFR) + 0. 10·Fav + 0. 15·Reopen + 0. 10·(PW100|NPS) + 0. 10·UStarts − Penalties`.
