What does it take to pull off an event like the Scatters Club Streamers Awards? A 61-person crew working behind the scenes, 7 special guests jumping in with insights, commentary, and unexpected twists, and a community of streamers and fans bringing the energy. Add to that 3,730 applications, a fierce selection process narrowing it down to 50 candidates in the short list, and weeks of heated predictions — and you get one of the most electrifying nights in iGaming streaming.

Back for its second year, the first-ever online awards dedicated to iGaming streaming have already turned into a yearly tradition. The Grand Finale wasn’t just about handing out trophies — it was a full-scale celebration of the best, boldest, and most entertaining moments in streaming.

Fans became part of the show, predicting winners, celebrating their favorite streamers, and engaging like never before.
The Dreams Come True initiative stole the show. Eight people had their dreams supported through this year’s special program. Maurо took the stage as a standout, landing a job that many would envy — watching and analyzing streams for a living. The other seven winners, chosen through personal essays, will receive assistance in launching or advancing their careers in streaming.
$10,000+ in prize money was handed out live. Those who nominated streamers had their chance to win, while the most attentive viewers walked away with cash through Live Bingo.

And now, after all the votes, debates, and anticipation, the results are in.

And the 15 Winners Are…

Roshtein dominated as Community Champion and took home The Best Cringe — because sometimes, the most awkward moments are the most iconic.

Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures – Lightning Box Brings Land-Based Hit Online

Light & Wonder has officially launched Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures, the digital debut of its highly successful land-based franchise. Developed by in-house specialist studio Lightning Box, this 3×5 slot offers 243 ways to win and a high-energy “three-pot” mechanic that has already become a staple on casino floors worldwide.

The game transitions the whimsical “dumpling-tossing” theme to online audiences, combining vibrant Asian-inspired aesthetics with a deep mathematical model designed for high-engagement sessions.

The Three-Pot Mechanic & Seven Feature Combinations

At the core of the gameplay is the persistent pot system. Landing specific colored coins fuels three separate pots—Yummy, Spicy, and Upsized. These pots can trigger individually or in any combination, leading to seven distinct bonus paths.

Feature Mode	Gameplay Enhancement
Yummy Mode	Increases the Hold & Spin respin counter from 3 to 4, significantly extending bonus life.
Spicy Mode	Introduces Chilli multipliers; landing a pepper adds its cash value to every symbol currently held on the board.
Upsized Mode	Unlocks a Dual Grid (two reel sets) for the Hold & Spin round, doubling the win potential.
Combined Modes	Triggering all three at once creates the “Mega Bonus,” featuring dual grids, 4 respins, and value-boosting peppers.

Innovation: The Stack N’ Hit Feature

Unlike traditional Hold & Spin mechanics where symbols simply lock until the round ends, Tasty Treasures introduces the Stack N’ Hit evolution.

Reel Clearing: When a vertical reel is filled with Bun symbols, the prizes are instantly collected, and the reel is cleared.
Persistent Respins: Clearing a reel creates open spaces for new prizes to land, allowing the bonus round to continue far longer than standard industry alternatives.
The Path to Grand: Each cleared reel activates a “Pepper Tracker” above it. Lighting up all five trackers awards the Grand Progressive Jackpot.

Jackpot Tiers & Base Game Depth

Operators benefit from a versatile math model that supports both consistent base-game performance and high-volatility jackpot chases.

Progressive Jackpots: Grand and Major tiers for life-changing win potential.
Fixed Jackpots: Minor and Mini tiers awarded through symbols landing during features.
Nudge Wilds: In the base game, Wild symbols can nudge to cover entire reels, assisting in achieving the 243-way payouts.

“Big Hot Flaming Pots: Tasty Treasures carries forward a brand that has already made its mark in land-based venues,” says Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box. “This release offers operators a flexible, high-performing title that combines familiarity with fresh layers of engagement.”
