Why The SlotsCalendar Awards Matter
We’re incredibly excited to be hosting the first edition of the SlotsCalendar awards and show the world of iGaming what the worthiest names are. Our awards carry gravitas and prestige and, most importantly, are genuinely fair.
The foremost reason for the SlotsCalendar Awards’ importance is that you determine their winners.

We will take your choices and turn the winners into the first recipients of the SlotsCalendar Awards. Your opinion matters and can add a bright spot on the reputation of your favorite game, provider, or casino!

Here are the voting results by category:
Gaming Studio of the Year
We are the house of free slots and boast tens of thousands of games in our collection. Inevitably, we continuously interact with countless games, many of which we test and review manually. These tremendous titles are the work of incredibly talented gaming studios. Their personnel are what powers these tremendous games with their hard work and raw talent.
We wanted to showcase which of these gaming studios are the most prevalent, popular, and qualitative. Your votes will reward the best of the 11 nominees for this category.
A successful and appreciated gaming studio should strike a balance between a consistent output, unwavering commitment to quality, and catchy themes. The preliminary top 3, after two weeks of voting, look like this:
Game of the Year
The previous category aims to single the gaming studios with the most impressive body of work. This one will focus on a specific game. We factor in numerous design choices when we review these games, some of which may appear in your voting criteria.
We want these games to be fair and functionally sound. Thankfully, most of the industry’s top providers have no issue with mechanics or optimization. You get to play excellent games that will work without any issues.
A game should be catchy and fun to play, which will require dynamic gameplay and an interesting theme. You may also want to enjoy special rounds, fair RTP, and enough betting flexibility to play however you want. Bonus compatibility can also be a competitive criterion!
Let’s see which of the nominated games attracted the most appreciation from you and your fellow player:
Rising Star
Many of the nominated games of the year are established titles that have been fan favorites for years on end. This award category aims to shed light on those games that have been steadily gaining popularity and have entered the gaming scene with high ambitions.
They are more recent titles that showcase what a great game needs. They also need some time to cement themselves as household names. Some of these games have been gaining traction as our month-long voting window has been going on.
Here are the star games that have been rising the highest after the first two weeks of voting:
Casino of the Year
You always need an adequate home for your gameplay moments if you want to truly enjoy the greatest games provided by the industry’s greats. Online casinos offer the environment and tools for such an experience. This voting category is the perfect context to express which digital casino brand provides the best conditions.
Our nominees list has over 30 brands with proven resumes. They provide a well-balanced mix of the most important characteristics of an online casino. We want you to vote for your personal favorite, but there are also several aspects that are objectively important.
The most valuable casino operations are those that can guarantee safety. They can do so through proper licensing, state-of-the-art security, and convenient and well-encrypted transactions. Casinos also need to provide diverse game collections, have reliable customer support, and have a generous bonus collection.
Here are the brands that seem to have done the best in all of these departments (according to your votes):
Live Casino of the Year
All the standards that we mentioned for the Casino of the Year award apply to this category as well. However, the focus for the Live Casino of the Year award lies in the idea of providing live-streamed table games in the best conditions. Many online gamblers still enjoy traditional table gaming. Just as many online casinos are ready to provide the conditions.
Our nominated brands are proof that service quality is feasible. These casinos provide stable and high-resolution streams for their live table games. They work closely with the best live game providers and offer many options for mainstream table games. They also provide niche options and game shows.
The voting for the Live Casino of the Year category looks like this:

One of the most attractive aspects of an online casino is its promotional collection. It provides the best blend of marketing credentials, trust-building, and pure generosity. The subject of online casino bonuses is an entirely different facet of our expertise. However, all our knowledge is in service of your needs and desires.
Your votes dictate which casinos satisfy your casino bonus wishes the best. We used our expertise and your feedback to set up a list of nominees that reflects how great they are at providing bonus codes.
