Big Bamboo Wins Slot of the Year 2022
23 Nov 22 Chloe
2022 Community Vote
With thousands of slots available on the market, favourite releases vary from player to player, but when you limit this to a shorter period of time, it's much easier to get an understanding of some of the most popular releases out there – if not the most popular.
This year, we put this theory to the test by offering the Hideous Slots Community a chance to vote on their Slot of the Year 2022, and we're excited to announce that Push Gaming are taking home this prize with a Big Bamboo landslide victory – more than 400 votes ahead of our second place.
We gave our community 14 studios to choose from, providing a choice of five 2022 releases for each studio.
Seventeen polls later, we had our final 3 – Big Bamboo from Push Gaming, Golden Catch from Big Time Gaming, and Beast Mode from Relax Gaming, in collaboration with CasinoGrounds.
With over 2,000 votes between these three releases, it was clear these were firm favourites for our viewers.
After our final vote, we were able to tally that Big Bamboo had received 1,139 votes for Slot of the Year 2022, making it the clear winner.
If you haven't played this one yet, Big Bamboo is a highly volatile release, with wins available up to 50,000x bet.
With Free Spins, Mystery Stacks, and Instant Prize Symbols to heighten the excitement, it's no surprise this game went on to become our community favourite this year.
Other Considerations
The following list is our community favourite slot 2022 for each of the 14 providers we considered this year:
- Push Gaming – Big Bamboo
- Big Time Gaming – Golden Catch
- Relax Gaming – Beast Mode
- Nolimit City – Tombstone RIP
- Pragmatic Play – Sugar Rush

Congratulations to Push Gaming on a fantastic 2022 – we're looking forward to another great year in 2023.
