May was a Record-Breaking Month for Casino Streamers

In the last few years Twitch has become the platform of choice for streaming with as many as 9.36M active streamers, and viewers consuming over 110M hours in 2021 to date. As a result, Twitch has become the online home for gamers and a digital marketer’s dream.

Call of Duty, Fortnite, FIFA, and even casino games like blackjack and poker have scores of dedicated channels that regularly broadcast to audiences numbering in the thousands.

Many of these channels and their respective categories set new records for viewership regularly. And unsurprisingly, the slots category is no different.

A detailed study of the slots category on Twitch has revealed that slots streamers set three new records in the month of May.

Twitch slots streamers set a new record of 130,622 hours streamed in the slots category — this beat the previous record set in April by over 10,000 hours.
