Facebook recently released its list of 2015’s ‘Best Web Games of the Year’. Over 450 people play games on Facebook every month, and the social networking site has decided on the games that are most successful and have engaged the most players over the course of the year. In 2015, two casino-based titles made the list, which an achievement for the online gambling industry.

Who Made the List?

The best game of the year was Clash of Kings. It is one of the most popular games in the mobile market, and it was recently launched on Facebook to reach a global audience. There are over 50 million players that enjoy Clash of Kings around the world. As for the games that make up the rest of the list, they are:

  • Best Fiends
  • Knights & Bridges
  • Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
  • Hot Shot Casino Slots
  • Monster Busters: Hexa Blast
  • Vegas Downtown Slots
  • Yahtzee with Buddies:
  • Nords: Heroes of the North

Hot Shot Casino

Hot Shot Casino is a free-play casino app developed by Scientific Games, one of the biggest gambling developers in the world. The company operates online casinos, land-based casino games and lotteries in many countries – so, it’s only natural that Scientific Games would venture into the social gaming market.

So far, the app has been very successful – and, with good reason. Like all social casino games, players can level up to earn more coins and unlock new games. What sets this title apart from others, is that there is a wide range of games available, many of which are directly based on land-based games.

So, players who are familiar with these titles will be more likely to choose Hot Shot Casino over other similar social casinos.

Vegas Downtown Slots

Vegas Downtown Slots is a social casino game from Playtika. Unlike Scientific Games, Playtika does not have roots in the land-based casino market. The company has partnered with land-based brands like Caesar’s Casino and The World Series of Poker – so, some land-based players may be familiar with the games offered on Vegas Downtown slots.

You will mostly recognise the games from other Playtika apps like Slotomania, another very popular social casino game.

There are plenty of slots available on Vegas Downtown Slots, but they are relatively basic. They all have different themes but the formats are very similar.

You don’t really feel like you’re getting a unique experience every time you play a new game. So, if you’re into themed slots and more modern games, you may prefer Hot Shot Casino.
