Updated Categories and Opportunities for Community Input

For 2025, the awards have been expanded and refined to reflect the evolution of the streaming industry. This year’s program features 10 fan-voted categories and 5 data-driven “Legends of the Year” nominations, focusing on key achievements across the sector.

The organizers are inviting community input throughout December. Fans and streamers can propose new categories or highlight moments they believe deserve recognition.

Tom Horn Gaming, the award-winning iGaming supplier, is turning up the temperature this winter with the release of Hot Blizzard Deluxe.

Scheduled to go live on 5 December, this fery slot promises to deliver an electrifying gaming experience with explosive features, blazing visuals, and high-intensity gameplay that players love.

Expanding Wilds and Super Free Spins with Wild Reel

At the core of the Hot Blizzard Deluxe’s gameplay is the Expanding Wilds feature, where Wild symbols not only fll entire reels but also come with blazing multiplier values of x1, x2, x5, or x10. Whenever a Wild lands as part of a winning combination, it transforms the symbols above and below into Wilds, forming an Expanding Wild and creating opportunities for massive wins. What’s more, if multiple Wilds appear on the screen, their multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win, offering truly explosive payout potential.

The game’s Free Spins feature takes the thrill even higher. By landing three Star symbols, players trigger 10 Free Spins, where the middle reel transforms into a fully Wild reel with multiplier values that change on every spin. For those seeking even more fery rewards, the Super Free Spins feature is activated by landing four Star symbols. Here, the middle reel consists entirely of x10 Wilds, setting the stage for some truly monumental wins.

Adding a unique twist to the gameplay is Tom Horn Gaming’s QuickX™ feature, which offers players instant access to the game’s most exciting features. Players can select from four distinct options: triple the chance to trigger Free Spins for a x1.5 bet multiplier, spin with a random Expanding Wild for a x25 bet multiplier, enjoy Free Spins with the Wild Reel for a x50 bet multiplier, or dive straight into the Super Free Spins with a x10 Wild Reel for a x200 bet multiplier. This feature ensures that players can customise their gaming experience and jump straight into the action whenever they choose.

A Game That Keeps the Flames Burning

Set against a fery backdrop, Hot Blizzard Deluxe combines cutting-edge mechanics with visually striking design and a soundtrack that amplifes the heat. The game’s dynamic features ensure that every spin has the potential to deliver thrilling moments and substantial wins, making it an instant favourite among players of all levels.

“With Hot Blizzard Deluxe, we’ve taken our commitment to player engagement and entertainment to the next level. The combination of features like Expanding Wilds, Free Spins, and the QuickX™ mechanic provides an experience that’s not only visually stunning but also incredibly rewarding. This is a game that will appeal to a wide range of players, and we’re excited to see it light up the reels for our partners and their players,” said Katarina Slaninova, Head of Marketing at Tom Horn Gaming.

The game will be available across the supplier’s extensive network of partners from 5 December 2024. Get ready to turn up the heat and let fortune blaze bright with Hot Blizzard Deluxe!
