Dear slot aficionados, the Bigwinboard Awards of 2024 are now live! With new changes this time around, following last year's exhilarating show where top honors were seized by Games and Pragmatic Play. Pragmatic Play ‘s Zeus vs Hades Last year, the excitement peaked with the crowning of a Game of the Year, while Pragmatic Play clinched the Best Provider recognition. We're raising the bar to expand engagement and amplify the grandeur of this year's event.
As part of our new approach for 2024, we’ve granted our faithful YouTube audience the authority to select nominations. Your opinions will shape who takes the spotlight as the awards unfold. Here's how the process works:
- We're utilizing a Popularity-Based Selection technique, working from our top slot review visits from 2024, ranking them to form the basis of our choices.
- We've organized the slot games into fair groupings, ensuring a balanced competition. Each group is comprised of a blend of popular and less-known games, leveling the playing field to give every entry a competitive chance.
- Our Community Polls put these groups to the test through YouTube, where only the top two games advance to the subsequent round.
Due to the constraints of YouTube polls, which cannot technically be closed, we are considering each poll concluded after a 24-hour period. Subsequently, these polls will be withdrawn as they can't be officially terminated.
Don't miss your chance to cast a vote and let your preferences be known. Head over to our site now and contribute to this celebration of the imaginative and innovative dynamics of the online slot scene.
