Twitch Slots Category Sets New Record with Over 120k Hours Streamed in April

Twitch has been the go-to streaming platform for quite some time now and hugely popular with fans of games such as Fortnite, PUBG, and Call of Duty. However, in recent times we’ve seen a surge in casino games on the platform with poker and slots being two of the most popular categories.

But it is perhaps the slots category that has surprised people the most with taking an impressive slice of viewership figures in recent months.

Believe it or not, of the 250 billion minutes that have been viewed so far in 2021, over 21.9 million hours were viewed in the slots category.

A recent analysis of slots data on Twitch by newcasinosites.co has shown that the slots category has broken not one but two records during the month of April.
