The Eilers & Krejcik Gaming monthly report for November reveals blackjack games assume the two top-ranking spots on the EKG list of 25 most popular table games options in the Great Lakes State, with IGT’s Blackjack and VIP Blackjack from Evolution Gaming, a popular live dealer provider, being the top two most played games.

Michigan online casinos offer most if not all of the top 5 ranked games, such as Blackjack from IGT,  VIP Blackjack by Evolution, Craps by Internal, Craps from Evolution, and Multihand Blackjack with Poker And Pairs from the gaming lab of IGT.

Players Prefer Blackjack Games By Evolution and IGT 

Blackjack is a frontrunner in the report concerning the popular table games, although data shows Craps is also gaining in popularity. The table games category combines games hosted by a real croupier and titles where the outcome of every hand dealt or spin of the roulette wheel is determined by a random numbers generator (RNG).

The top 25 list is predominantly populated by Evolution Gaming, with 11 titles making the final cut. The runner-up is developer IGT, with seven games; the last spot on the podium is shared by Internal and Light & Wonder, with three titles each. At the bottom of the depth chart for November is Gaming Realms, with a single contribution.

The number one ranked game on the list is Blackjack from IGT, and it's the standard version of the game with no side bet, not one of the other identically named versions offered by this provider. Michigan players can find the IGT Blackjack at FanDuel, WynnBET, BetRivers, Caesars Palace Online Casino, and Golden Nugget.

VIP Blackjack is the only live dealer game to secure ranking among the top 5 games on the list, but its presence shows that players like to indulge in both RNG and live versions of the popular cards game.

The EKG report also highlights that players are not altering their preferences and stick to popular games. The same blackjack games from IGT and Evolution have been regularly featured on the top 25 list for multiple months. These titles are available for playing with Michigan online casino bonus at several operators.

Blackjack Games Take the Spotlight 

The EKG report is a product of a comprehensive analysis of over 50,000 data points collected from 33 operators across five U.S. states, including Michigan. The Eilers & Krejcik Gaming database continually grows and is a relevant indicator of trends in the iGaming scene. Nearly all Michigan online casinos offer blackjack titles as RNG or live casino versions sourced from renowned industry software vendors.

Online casino portfolios of table games typically range from 20 to 30 for RNG versions, and a similar inventory is available for live dealer games. Among the local Michigan operators, DraftKings provides one of the more sizable blackjack collections with 33 thematic titles at last count, while BetMGM is close behind with 27 blackjack games. Caesars Palace Online Casino offers 21 blackjack games, and Fandual is a good choice for live dealer games.
