This medium-volatility game starts off guns blazing, taking players on a Western adventure like no other, across its wild reels.

This 5×3 reel slot has symbols depicting swans, dinosaurs and monkeys that must form matching combinations across the title’s 25 paylines to award a win.
Wizard Games is set for the festive season with the launch of its new hit Santa’s Fortune. The 5×3 slot features all the Christmas characters players expect, including reindeer, elves, snowmen, and tasty treats, while prized presents also await on the reels. The presents themselves contain a cash value inside, and if Santa’s sleigh lands on the fifth reel, it collects all values present on the reels for mammoth payouts. When this occurs, the Collect Pots Feature can be triggered randomly.
Grab a helmet, kick-start your engine and GO for the gold in Play’n GO’s action-sports thriller, USA Flip. Stare down a steep hill inside a sold-out stadium as Flip, a stunt-biking bald eagle gets ready to take flight and steal the spotlight. Help Flip turn the most difficult tricks and take home eternal glory, sharing the winner’s circle afterwards – and the prize money that comes with it.
Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming have teamed up to deliver a new slot boasting the biggest, baddest dogs in town alongside even bigger symbols in Desperate Dawgs 2 GigaBlox™. This feature-filled 6-reel, 40 payline title utilises giant symbols up to 6×6 in size by way of Yggdrasil’s hugely popular Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), GigaBlox. In addition to these huge symbols, Desperate Dawgs 2 GigaBlox can see players win up to 9,872 x their stake via three features.
Kalamba Games’ popular Joker series has received a new instalment with Joker Fortune Blitz, mixing a classic theme with new features that delivers a player engaging experience. Familiar slot symbols such as fruits, 7s and Bars adorn the 6×4 reel set and can all be substituted by wilds, represented by the Jovial Joker herself in a number of guises.

Summer is here and it is time for Slotsoo’s signature celebration of the iGaming industry. The Slotsoo Casino Awards return for its third edition, continuing the tradition of highlighting operators who excel in delivering a top-tier player experience. This year also marks an exciting expansion with the inaugural Slotsoo Game Provider Awards, giving long-overdue recognition to the creators of great slots.
The New Game Provider Awards and the Winners
Game providers are sometimes overshadowed by casinos, but in reality, both are equally important to the online casino experience. That’s why Slotsoo is proud to shine a spotlight on the studios behind the reels. The winners of Slotsoo’s first provider-focused awards were announced on 24 July 2025, and the honors went to:
- The Machine MVP – Pragmatic Play
- Bonus Buyer – Bullshark Games
- Volatility Virtuoso – Wazdan
- Jackpot Jumbo – Mancala Gaming
- Symphony Spinner – Gamzix
- Reel Renegade – Nolimit City
- Promising Prodigy – Slammer Studios
Please visit the Slotsoo Game Provider Awards page for detailed descriptions of each trophy and the motivations behind the winners.
The Anatomy of Slotsoo’s Trophies: Where Fun Meets Serious Recognition
At Slotsoo, each trophy is whimsical by design but grounded in real player values, making the Slotsoo Awards both entertaining and insightful. Every category has a clear purpose, recognizing what truly matters in iGaming today.
At the core of each awards lineup is a main trophy: The Gambling GOAT honors the top-performing casino operator, while The Machine MVP celebrates the best overall game provider. Surrounding these main awards are a collection of supporting trophies, spotlighting specific areas of excellence, from fast withdrawals and fun bonuses to volatility and winning potential.
These award categories offer a chance for actors who crush it in a certain area to be recognized, even if they don’t dominate across the board. Just like other iGaming awards, Slotsoo includes a category for newcomers, encouraging fresh talent and pushing established names to keep innovating.
The timing of the awards is also a deliberate choice. Markus Björk, head writer at Slotsoo, explains the team’s reasoning:
“After a hectic Winter and Spring packed with iGaming events, June and July offer a rare chance for the industry to slow down and reflect on the year so far. Let’s enjoy the cucumber season and appreciate what’s been achieved. This is when you can harvest the rewards of your hard work before autumn arrives with new challenges and opportunities.”
The Winning Casino Operators 2025
The Slotsoo Casino Awards 2025 took place in June, and these were the seven winners:
- The Gambling GOAT – Betizy
- The Bonus Buff – Sugarino
- The Loyalty Lord – Wisho
- The Withdrawal Wizard – Vauhdikas
- The Gamification Guru – Arctic Casino
- The Payout Professor – Wolfy Casino
- The Noisy Newcomer – Lunar Spins
This was the third time Slotsoo held the casino awards for its English-language site targeting the EU market in general. During the same period, the dedicated awards for the Finnish market, Slotsoo Kasinogaala 2025, celebrated its second year. These awards consist of seven trophies equivalent to the English ones, plus an eighth trophy dedicated to the casino operator with the best slot streaming offering.
The Nordic country is undergoing big changes, with a new gambling legislation and a licensing system planned to be introduced by 1 January 2027. The future will tell how this will affect the structure and categories of the awards.
