Perhaps games of chance like these are more palatable to online players who do not want to play more complex games like poker or blackjack and prefer straightforward, low risk casino games.

“Arguably, the simplicity of these games is also more enjoyable, and anyone can play them. Whether you are a seasoned gambler or have no experience playing casino games online, you could easily win a game of keno, lottery, or bingo. No pressure, no stress, no skill – just have fun!”

Methodology

Googled Keyword Planner was used to obtain the search volumes of a list of online casino games in Europe’s main cities.

First, a seed list of initial search terms was established based on the 14 most popular casino games. Then the monthly average search volume for each term in each European city was taken from Google Keyword Planner.

Once this was complete, the total number of monthly average searches in each location was compared against its population. This established the monthly average searches per 100,000 people, allowing for an accurate comparison of the search rate across locations of differing sizes.
