In our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four (known) gas giant planets.
Beyond our solar system, probably the vast majority of the 4000+ planets discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope are probably gas giants, because those are the easiest to detect from interstellar distances.
Which doesn't mean that there aren't just as many small rocky planets; just that we can't see them as easily with the Kepler Telescope.
