Early Results Confirm Slots are Most Popular With Women But Also Show Slots Players Are Bigger Gamblers Than Some Might ThinkGoing in to the final weeks of the Online Slots Player Survey, early trends confirm what many would suspect about online slots players and also challenge some common assumptions.

With mobile gambling becoming so popular, it also includes questions about playing games on mobile phones.Players that complete the Survey can enter a free contest.
