Free Slots
The 2025 edition of the SlotsCalendar Awards is still ongoing and waiting for you to cast your vote. Just like last year, the mission is to give our community a decisive voice that puts the spotlight on the luminaries of iGaming that deserve it the most.
Voting has been open since April 10th, which means that plenty of our community members have stated their preferences. We tremendously appreciate your willingness to interact with our initiative and get involved in this process!
In this article, we would like to remind all of you who have yet to vote, but also come with a well-deserved update about the race. It’s yet another consolidating piece of our effort to establish proper communication with the SlotsCalendar family.
SlotsCalendar Awards – The Voice of the Community
Before we move to the primary objective of this article and unveil the leaders of our leaderboard, we wanted to emphasize yet again why these SlotsCalendar Awards matter so much to the overall iGaming industry.
We value our community to an immense degree because we know how much passion and goodwill go into your gaming sessions. You value entertainment, safety, and the sense of belonging that games of luck are so able to create.
Whether you’re a savvy veteran or are just starting to dabble in online gaming, you value fairness and quality just as much as we do. We, the team behind SlotsCalendar, value your assessment and thought process to such an extent that we want to quantify it.
In this sentiment, the SlotsCalendar Awards are our method of letting the industry know what you think of them. Instead of gate-keeping and appointing a specialized jury with its own interests, we are here to give you, the player that forms our community, the deciding power.
As such, our Awards are an exercise of wide-reaching communication and a sense of gratitude for those who make iGaming so fun for everybody!
Don’t Forget About Our Raffle!
Naturally, we wanted to reward you for your participation, just like we did in the 2024 SlotsCalendar Awards edition. We greatly appreciate the effort that you’re putting into actively assessing the nominees and thinking about whom to vote for and why they deserve it.
This year, we return to the raffle format and put an iPhone 16 on the line. You will qualify for this prize by voting in at least 5 categories of the 10 that make up our entire selection. Voting in a minimum of 5 categories will automatically enter you into the raffle.
We will draw and announce the winner on June 6th. Naturally, this extraction will use specialized software to select a random winner. We will host this extraction live on the SlotsCalendar YouTube channel, just like last year.
Please note that if you win, you will have 5 days to respond. We will need a copy of your government-issued ID to confirm your identity and eligibility. If you do not respond in those 5 days, we will redraw and choose another winner who has the same timeframe to respond.
Preliminary Results
This year’s slightly revamped and enhanced list of categories shows that the 2025 edition of the SlotsCalendar Awards is one of progress.
We are incredibly grateful for the immense level of engagement that we’ve recorded last year, but 2025 is already surpassing it by each and every metric. Given that we have over 4 million players and close to 1.5 million subscribers in our community, involvement is incredible.
However, you still have approximately a week to vote if you’re reading this article on the day we’ve posted it. Our digital voting urns close on May 12th, giving you plenty more time to vote if you haven’t already.
We also encourage you to let your family, friends, and acquaintances know about voting in our SlotsCalendar Awards if they’re also iGaming fans. Everybody is welcome to join our community and state their preferences on our platform!
Game Studio of the Year
The first category that you see when you vote is the Game Studio of the Year.
In all fairness, the highlights of gambling online are the games themselves. You always seek the fairest, hottest, and most fascinating games, especially given how proficient the industry has become at creating them.
Whether you’re into slots, classic table games, or alternative types like crash games, scratch cards, or 3D titles, the game producer market is excellent and beyond competitive.
This year, we had no less than 19 nominees – each of them is a Game Studio with incredible creations and a penchant for innovative and spotless solutions. The competition has been incredibly intense, but the top 3 so far are:

The Slot Everyone’s Talking About
This category is one of those that we renamed from ‘Game of the Year.’ The nominees and preliminary results show us that we were right to do so.
We strongly believe in the renaming because a truly phenomenal, eye-catching slot generates more than just traffic – it also generates discourse.
At SlotsCalendar, we keep our ear close to the ground because we know how essential it is to be up to date with the preferences and talking points of the iGaming community. This is how we’ve realized that the slots with the biggest traffic are also the most discussed in player spaces.
Once again, our initial list of nominees came with 19 entries, each of them produced by an outstanding studio. These slots have been at the top of every popular metric, but the 3 most voted for so far are:

Star Slot in the Making
When trying to engage with the industry and its representatives, we gather fantastically valuable data about upcoming or freshly released slot titles. We bring you these conversations in the form of our series of interviews with iGaming representatives.
This is how we manage to stay ahead of the curve and identify the most anticipated releases of a calendar year. In this sense, we wanted to capture the excitement of our community by creating this category in which you can vote for the slot you’re most hyped about.
The Star Slot in the Making included 18 initial nominees, but the slots with the most star potential, according to the preliminary results, are:

Best New Casino
Competitiveness in the world of iGaming is a blessing for you, the player because it drives online casinos toward better, more efficient solutions. It also invites new competitors to come up with innovative or highly attractive answers for a well-established business model.
In the Best New Casino category, we accounted for the hottest online casino releases of 2024. This year is when the dust has settled enough for them to see how well they integrated into the market.
Each new casino is a new opportunity for all players to seek new gaming horizons and seek fresh opportunities.
With how competitive this market is, it’s no wonder that we had 30 initial nominees for you to choose from. While all of these new casino brands have proven their value to receive a nomination, you’ve voted the following 3 as the best recent releases:

Casino of the Year
Another byproduct of the intense competition among casino operators is the lengths to which they try to captivate your attention and obtain your trust. They may do so in numerous ways, many of which are actually commendable.
However, only a specific sector of the market is at the top of the industry in terms of qualify of products and services. We wanted to highlight this fact with the Casino of the Year category, which is almost mandatory for any awards ceremony.
Given the fact that you, our community, vote for the Casino of the Year, our Award is particularly important because it’s a direct reflection of a player’s experience.
This year, we had an immense list of 38 casino brands that have received a nomination for their tremendous services. Here are the ones that you voted for the most:

Live Casino of the Year
We’ve talked about slots for a long time, so now it’s time to show some love for the live gaming experience!
While the passion for video slots has obviously shaped our brand identity, we still recognize and appreciate the influence and attraction of live casino gaming. At the same time, we need to admit that some casinos set up live casino gambling better than others.
To qualify and succeed as the Live Casino of the Year, the platform must provide abundant, varied, and pristine access to tons of live casino games. Proper set-up in this sense, combined with an overall casino platform that facilitates this type of gaming, is a must.
We’ve had total confidence that you know how to pick the most worthy Live Casino of the Year from our selection of 35 nominees. Let’s see what the podium looks like a week before voting closes:

Industry Standard in Responsible Gambling
There is no casino gaming without responsible gaming. This is what we’ve grown to understand throughout our experiences. We are delighted to see so much engagement from our community regarding this section. It proves that safe and sustainable gaming is just as important for you as they are for us.
We’re also immensely grateful to see that so many brands are sincere in their action when it comes to promoting responsible gambling. We had 30 nominees, proving that some of the best names in the industry also recognize the essential status of safe gaming.
If you’ve yet to vote or know someone interested in voting, we’ll do a quick rundown of what to look for in the Industry Standard in Responsible Gaming.
In short, you’ll want to have access to self-limitation tools for gameplay and financial decisions, self-exclusion, informative content, and you can rely on the casino’s customer support team to assist you in a professional and empathetic way.
Here are the top 3 casino brands that best represent the Industry Standard in Responsible Gambling as of now, according to your votes:
Your vote is their spotlight https://awards.slotscalendar.com/
Excellence in Bonus Variety
Bonuses are almost as significant as the games that you want to play at an online casino. They are, in earnest, the most significant method of promoting an online casino brand. They are also creative outlets for those casinos willing to change the norm.
In most cases, bonus variety must also come with amenable terms and decent figures when it comes to the value of these bonuses. We’ve seen, reviewed, and tested thousands of them, which lets us know how important they are to a casino’s market profile.
We also acknowledge that some casinos have the upper hand when they choose to provide certain types of offers. We simply wish to see you vote for the brand whose Excellence in Bonus Variety did you the best.
While the competition was particularly intense with 29 nominees, we’re delighted to announce the 3 brands that you have voted for the most so far:

A new addition to our selection of categories, this Award is our way of expanding into territory that we’ve rarely dabbled in before.
Despite our overt emphasis on casino games, especially slots, we still have a strong level of knowledge about the casino product named sportsbook. We recognize its importance as both a main attraction, but also a piece of a broader, highly competitive casino product.
If you’re a sports bettor who has yet to state their opinion, know that the 3 favorites to win the Best Sports Betting Platform Award are the following, as chosen from a list of 27 nominees:

Best Crypto Casino
At SlotsCalendar, we recognize and acknowledge every new step in the progress of iGaming. This is why we needed to add yet another entry that reflects that to our category list. This time, we decided to focus on a payment-related aspect.
Naturally, we also recognize that crypto gaming is about integrating the principles of blockchain into an industry focused on magnifying your experience.
At the same time, some casinos are simply adding crypto payments to their existing collection. Our list of 28 nominees reflects this situation and shows us that the gaming world has plenty of brands willing to adapt in their own way.
Of these nominees, the 3 brands that you’ve voted for the most are:
