Team Onlinegeeks | Updated On August 30, 2024

Online gaming is one industry that just keeps on growing. There are lots of different forms of entertainment and they have all had their struggles over the years. Some industries have fallen out of favour and had to claw their way back to popularity. Some have struggled to even get off the ground.

However, gaming has seen a steady growth in popularity that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. In fact, online gaming is now one of the most popular ways people like to spend their free time. Now that we can game online as well as in person, there are more and more people signing up all the time.

There are so many different games we can choose from, it can be tough to know whether you’re making the right choice or not. To make things a little easier, we’ve made a list of all the games people have been playing the most this year. That way, you can find a game that you think you’ll enjoy playing the next time you’re online.

Most popular games of 2024 so far 

Slot games

Slot games have always been popular and they’ve stayed at the top of the charts this year. There are many different slot games to play and one of the most popular ones is Megaway Slots. It looks like a normal slot game on the surface but there’s a little twist that players enjoy.

Megaways slot games feature a special feature that they call a ‘random reel modifier’ which changes the positions that are available on each reel. So, every time you spin, the number of positions changes. 

The more positions there are on a reel at any one time, the more paylines are available which means there’s a higher chance of winning. The higher the chance of a win, the more likely a game is going to be enjoyable to players – for obvious reasons! 

Live casino games

Live casino games are also becoming more and more popular as time goes on. These are a relatively new phenomenon but they’re becoming a fast favourite with regular online gamers. You have a bunch of live casino games to choose from, but the most popular one is poker.

Poker is typically played with a group of people with players needing to be able to read the other player’s reactions in order to play well. This can be a bit tricky when playing online as you can’t see the other players to gauge whether or not they’re bluffing.

That’s where live poker comes in. The game is set up with a real life dealer in a casino who deals on a live stream and in some cases, the players are on a live stream too. This makes it easier for people trying to look at other player’s reactions in order to win as they can see their faces.

Not only does this help people play online poker better, but it makes it a more enjoyable experience all round. It means that you get the same great game of poker, but from the comfort of your own home.

Slingo

Another game that’s seen a rise in popularity in 2024 is slingo. It’s the perfect mixture of a slot game and bingo, making it appeal to a huge range of people. If you’ve played lots of slot games and are looking for something new and exciting, then this is the game for you.

The rules are still just as simple as they are with any slot game, there just happens to be a little bingo twist. Instead of just clicking the ‘spin’ button when you want to start the slot game, you have a bingo card that you need to find the number from. 

When you spin, the number that comes up has to match a number on your bingo card instead of it spinning a reel of numbers or symbols in front of you. This adds an extra layer to the game and means you have to be quick on your feet. There could be someone who also has the same number as you so you need to make sure you get to it first.

This game is not for the faint hearted as everything happens at speed – so make sure you’re focussed before you start to play!

Roulette 

Roulette is another classic game that people love to play both in person and online. It fell out of favour a little when online gaming first started as people went for the newer games. But now it’s back on track to be one of the most popular games to play. 

Similarly to slot games, it’s so easy to play. All you do is pick the numbers or colours or combinations that you think are most likely to win and see whether or not you’ve guessed correctly. 

Now you know all the top games from this year, which one do you want to play first?
