Throwback to the Best Slots of 2025

Top 5 Best Slots of 2025

Well, we're nearing the end of December and the festivities are in full swing, with plenty of Bucks Fizz and boxes of Quality Street to go round.

Many of us are already out for Christmas, but we're still here to bring you the best slots of 2025.

We recently released the results of our annual community awards, which highlighted a couple of god-tier games released this year from a range of different providers.

But we're slot players first and foremost, and we have our own opinions to share.

As we gear up for the new year's countdown and Big Ben tolling next week, let's also throw it back to five of the best slots to have hit online casinos in 2025 – the ultimate best of the rest list.

5. Holy Hand Grenade 2

Something that Print Studios have consistently nailed is the Medieval aesthetic; with a twist.

Whether it be Royal Potato, Tarasque, or Holy Hand Grenade, they always provide a fun – but quirky – slot experience.

Well, the Bishop is backed with the studio's Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop in 2025, which also adds Relax Gaming's Dream Drop progressive jackpot system – for a potential seven-figure win.

It's exactly as oxymoronic as it sounds, combining saintly stained-glass symbols and characters of worship to bomb-blasting bonus features – and the ever-popular SuperSpinner mechanics, which apply multipliers.

4. Sew

This year was huge for newcomer Shady Lady, who dared to be different with their unique (and slightly unhinged) slot themes. 

We've had gymfluencer madness in Swoll and Black Friday chaos, but it's their seventh release, Sew, that really caught our attention. 

You could always count on your grandma to fix you up with a stitch or two, and this five-reel title takes place on a sweet elderly lady's vintage sewing machine… but not everything is as serene as it seems.

With a shadow between the stitches, you'll notice that there's something more sinister going on in the bonus game (offering a max win of 20,000x), with Body Part symbols and stacking skin multipliers as granny has an evil twinkle in her eye. 

We won't spoil too much of the gameplay, but we can safely say that you'll never look at a needle and thread the same way again.

3. Das xBoot Zwei

Nolimit City are always one of our favourite studios to review – consistently scoring high marks from our review team.

Nearly four years after its original release, NLC shocked us – and the world – with a sequel to one of their most iconic slots, Das xBoot. 

And that's Das xBoot Zwei, which ups the periscope tenfold as we're once again on a submarine WWII-inspired adventure as we venture into choppier waters.

All of the traditional mechanics make a return, including the iconic xMechanics like xNudge Wilds, xWays, and xBomb, paired with Torpedo Builders and free spins, with an upped max win potential of 59,999x, from the previous 55,200x.

2. Chaos Crew 3

Very few slot series have made as much of an impact on the industry as Hacksaw Gaming‘s Chaos Crew, which is now a trilogy of slots plus a themed scratchcard.

Cranky Cat and Sketchy Skull made a return in 2025 with the third instalment: Chaos Crew 3, with the additional third wheel in the form of Glitch Dog.

Three definitely isn't a crowd in this slot as popular mechanics make a reappearance, alongside CTRL+ALT+CHAOS and the Korrupted K9 features, adding a dash of transformative madness and Crazy Multiplier potential.

The hidden bonus goes off the charts, filling the grid with Crazy Multipliers, a Chaos Upgrade, and at least one Glitch Dog, taking you even closer to the 30,000x max win potential.

1. Tombstone Slaughter

Ending this list on a perfect score (literally, we gave it a 10/10), there's Tombstone Slaughter by none other than Nolimit City once again. 

The game's narrative follows El Gordo's daughter, who seeks revenge after her father's public humiliation in Tombstone RIP. 

To no one's surprise, this game is jam-packed full of exciting features like xNudge Wilds, Reel Split Wilds, xSplit, Infectious xSplit, and Boothill Multipliers, with two free spins modes: Slaughter Spins and Massacre Spins.

Having been released earlier this year in January, this is a slot we haven't been able to stop thinking about, with its massive (and that's being polite) 500,000x maximum win potential – the highest of any online slot, ever.
