Sweet Bonanza<\/a> took the silver, coming just 34 points short. This is the slot\u2019s second silver in a row, but the gap with the leader is closing. In 2021 the game lost 56 points to Book of Dead<\/a>, which in 2022 dropped to 8th<\/sup> place. This steady performance in this fast-changing and saturated pokies world is a victory in itself.<\/p>\n

The Dog House<\/a> is another strong performer in 2022. It went 1 position up in the rating compared to 2021 ensuring all three medals were collected by Pragmatic Play. The slot outperformed Gates of Olympus in 6 out of 9 casinos, but the failure to score any points in BitStarz cost it the gold.<\/p>\n

Best Online Pokies to Win Money in 2022<\/h2>\n

Any game that seems the most entertaining for you is a great choice. This can be a popular or not-so-popular game. They all present the chances of winning big or small. Depending on what you expect from online pokie machines, there will be different best options. The easiest way to pick a great game is to explore top-performing pokies. Some of them should be just right for you.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the top 10 slots in 2022. They all have decent max win potentials and RTP. Switch to the New in 2022 tab to check out titles released in 2022. When the goal is to have a chance of landing a massive win, pay attention to the max win. In this regard, Razor Shark<\/a> which took 5th<\/sup> place in the rating would be an excellent option. Not only is it an exciting game, but it also offers an appealing 50,000x max payout. Sweet Bonanza is another popular choice with a solid win limit.<\/p>\n

The rating is dominated by the high volatility pokies. They have wins that are distributed unevenly so that you can expect fewer but bigger wins. If you prefer a more even distribution of payoffs, look for low volatility level games such as Book of Santa<\/a> by Endorphina, which was quite popular in 2022.<\/p>\n

Adjustable RTP<\/h3>\n

Over time more slot builders adopt flexible RTP, and you need to be aware of that. It\u2019s when a slot is released in more than one version with everything else being the same except for RTP. Usually what you see on the official developer sites is the top value. If you are interested in getting the highest possible return, make sure to check the Paytable or Game Info files.<\/p>\n

In 2022 this adjustable RTP became a massively popular trend. The difference in the return settings is sometimes significant and can be up to 10% or even more. Most of the time content creators launch three versions. For instance, Big Bass Bonanza<\/a>, which is the most popular new slot released in 2022 according to our rating, has three RTP settings: 96.71%, 95.67%, and 94.60%. In this case, the difference is insignificant but usually, the lowest RTP versions offer an unacceptably low average return.<\/p>\n

How Do We Determine the Best Slots?<\/h2>\n

To make the slot rating that accurately paints the slot popularity picture, we get data from multiple reliable casinos and combine their top 100 pokies into a single one by introducing the scoring system. The higher the position in any individual rating the more points a slot gets. There are from 1 to 100 points with the first place awarding 100 points and the 100th<\/sup> place earning just 1 point.<\/p>\n

Take the Razor Shark, for instance. It scores 100, 99, 95, 88, 80, 74, and 70 points in different casinos for landing on the 1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, 6th<\/sup>, 13th<\/sup>, 21st<\/sup>, and 35th<\/sup> positions respectively. In two casinos the game didn\u2019t make it to the top 100 and earned zero points.<\/p>\n

The total amount of points a title received determines its place in the overall best 2022 casino slot machines rating. You can view the ultimate top 100 or check out the entire rating that lists every one of over 450 pokies that appear in the top 100 of every participating casino. So, no random slot can appear here.<\/p>\n

Because 9 casinos provided their 2022 top 100 slots ratings, the maximum score any title can get is 900. For this, a game must top every one of the 9 ratings, which is close to impossible considering the fierce competition. The winner, Gate of Olympus, for instance, got 766 points.<\/p>\n

Bonus Features<\/h3>\n

In 2022, a smart math model is what makes a popular video slot. And players seem to love entertaining games that feature exciting bonus rounds and boosters. Integrating a shortcut to the bonus rounds has become increasingly popular, and the bonus buy option is something many top titles offer.<\/p>\n
