After another fantastic year of innovation across the slot industry, the results are in for our Best Slots Community Awards 2025.
Every year, these awards prove just how competitive the slot space has become. Past winners highlight how quickly the landscape evolves. In 2021, Nolimit City dominated the awards with a clean sweep. In 2022, ELK Studios claimed Provider of the Year, while Relax Gaming took Slot of the Year with Money Train 3.
2023 saw Print Studios rise from newcomer to standout studio, winning Slot of the Year with Holy Hand Grenade, while Hacksaw Gaming secured Provider of the Year.
Last year’s 2024 Community Awards continued that trend of variety and competition:
- Slot of the Year 2024 – Ancient Tumble (Relax Gaming)
- Studio of the Year 2024 – Pragmatic Play
- Slot Sequel of the Year 2024 – San Quentin 2 (Nolimit City)
- Most Innovative Studio 2024 – Hacksaw Gaming
