The Bigwinboard Awards 2021: Celebrating the Top Winners

As 2021 comes to a close, it bids farewell to a year full of thrilling online slots activities. As expected, there were both highs and lows, yet some game studios went the extra mile to captivate players. They dazzled audiences with innovative features, enchanting themes, and enormous winning possibilities, and among these, one stood out as a clear victor.

Before diving into specifics, it's worth acknowledging the players and readers who participated in The Bigwinboard Awards 2021. Throughout, we have shared transparent perspectives on various slots, and it was a joy to discover where players were inclined to spend their earnings. These awards reflect the untainted preferences of actual players without any influence from the industry — a standard Bigwinboard adheres to steadfastly.

Voting opened on November 18 and concluded on December 14, allowing our esteemed readers enough time to voice their opinions. Each vote was meticulously checked for any unusual patterns (via IP, user agent, timestamps, etc). A massive thank you to the thousands of votes received — 3388 to be precise. Now, let's introduce the champions of 2021.

San Quentin xWays

In early 2021, we were introduced to San Quentin xWays, a game that promptly exhibited potential to be the slot of the year. This formidable game presented a daunting challenge that numerous players embraced eagerly. It wasn't long before they began sharing wild winning clips, with one of our community members hitting the 150,000x win limit by February, soon after others came very close.

Beyond its extraordinary winning capacity, San Quentin packed numerous creative features into a fantastic offering. While the base game is brimming with engaging components, it’s during the bonus round that everything comes together, enticingly. The 2,000x bonus buy feature sparked discussions as a bold move. Nevertheless, Nolimit City was just beginning, with San Quentin xWays serving as an appetizer of what's to come from them in 2021.

Nolimit City

Despite an upswing in quality across the board this year, one studio truly shone. Nolimit City distinguished itself by delving into realms seldom explored by others, and dominated nearly every metric. The studio's near-inevitable recognition as Provider of the Year underscores its remarkable influence.

Nolimit City's success underscored its distinctiveness in the eyes of Bigwinboard readers — a quality demonstrating fearlessness in showcasing every aspect openly. Their creative team not only enjoys pushing boundaries but thrives where things get intriguing and unpredictable. Each new direction Nolimit City took was unexpected, and while not always universally appealing, they consistently delivered unforgettable experiences.

East Coast vs West Coast

Have you ever noticed how some makers treat game soundtracks as an afterthought, cramming in generic effects at the last moment? Yet, some have grasped the significance of a compelling tune to elevate the entire experience. Nolimit City certainly fits that mold.

Deep within the studio, a talented Swedish mogul named David can be found seated amid displays, mixing consoles, and other audio equipment. He is the maestro behind tracks like Deadwood and this year's top hit East Coast vs West Coast, which perfectly captured the game's hip hop essence. According to David, \"I never compromise with boring samples. If I am crafting hip hop, it has to be authentic.\" This approach certainly yielded impressive results this year.
