Twitch Slots Streaming Category: 3 New records set in May 2021

In recent years Twitch has grown to become the go-to website for streaming with as many as 9.36M active streamers and over 110M hours consumed in 2021 to date. So it’s no surprise that it’s the platform of choice for gamers with channels dedicated to practically every video game imaginable.

From DOTA to Fortnite and even casino games such as poker, streamers of these games often find themselves broadcasting to audiences that number in the thousands.

And with streamers and viewers regularly setting new records each and every month, the platform is something of a marketer’s dream.

In fact, a new study of the slots category on twitch has revealed that the month of May saw three new records set in the category.

• There was a new record of 130,622 hours streamed in the Twitch Slots category — beating the previous record set in April by over 10,000 hours.
• The maximum number of viewers at any one time in the slots category was 204,468.
