4.2 Metric: Game Database Analysis

4.2 Metric: Game Database Analysis (10 points)

This metric assesses the platform's utility as a research tool for games, not just operators.

• Database Size (5 points): The total number of individual slot games tracked and reviewed by the platform. A small library (<1000 games) offers limited utility. A large, comprehensive database is a significant asset.

  • Benchmark: A score of 5 is awarded for platforms tracking 4,000+ individual game titles.

• Data Richness (5 points): The depth of data provided for each game. We look for a dedicated page per game that includes:

  • RTP (Return to Player) percentage.

  • Volatility / Variance level.

  • Software Provider.

  • Key Features (e.g., Free Spins, Megaways, Bonus Game).

  • An embedded demo version for free play.

Rationale: Serious players often choose a platform based on its game selection. A review site that provides a rich, searchable database of games (e.g., allowing users to find all "High Volatility" slots from "Pragmatic Play") serves a critical user need.
