Slots Streamers Smashed Records on Twitch.tv in May

As you may well know, Twitch is the go-to platform for streamers with as many as 9.36M active streamers in 2021. Viewership figures are also just as impressive with over 110M hours consumed in 2021 to date with much of that content in the gaming category.

With channels dedicated to games such as DOTA, Fortnite, FIFA, and even casino games such as poker and blackjack, it’s little surprise that streamers are attracting the attention of both gaming fans and savvy marketers.

In fact, gaming categories are setting new viewership and streaming records each and every month and one of the fastest growing categories is the slots category.

A new detailed study of the slots category on free-spins website newfreespinsnodeposit.com has revealed that streamers in the category helped set three new records.
