2025 has come and gone, and what a year it’s been. From the election of a New Pope to the release of GPT-5, the last 11 months have felt foundational in the backdrop of history. Though there’s no telling what the future holds, there are ways to assess the past — ways to measure what’s important to us at any given time. For the gang here at bonus, that thing is slots.
With so many of our favorite memories from the past year tied to our favorite games, we decided to pay homage to the reels that kept things spicy through the monotony. Here’s a look at our 2025 Slot-ify Wrapped:

Our Top 5 Most Played Slots in 2025
After months of tracking our spins, feature triggers, and biggest payouts, we’ve compiled a list of our team’s go-to games. Leading the pack is a high-volatility hit from Light & Wonder.
1) Huff N’ More Puff
The younger brother of the now-famous Huff ‘n Even More Puff — which was responsible for a $22+ million jackpot in Michigan last week — this Light & Wonder game gave us a little bit of everything in 2025.
The game starts with players trying to get six or more hard hat symbols anywhere on the reels. If you do, this will trigger six free spins. The location of the original six hard hats is replaced with straw, and the objective is for another hard hat to land in that same position during the following spins. If you get two hard hats in one spot, your house goes from straw to stick. Three hard hats turn it from stick to brick.
After the six spins, it’s time for the Big Bad Wolf to decide your fate. If you think there’s a housing shortage now, wait until he’s done with you. Each home reveals a credit prize, with the brick houses rewarding the largest amounts.
2) Ozzy Osbourne Video Slot
2025 had its ebbs and flows and the passing of Ozzy Osbourne was certainly an ebb. One of the best-selling Heavy Metal Musicians of all time and a two-time inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — 2006 as a member of Black Sabbath and 2024 as a solo artist — Osbourne goes down as one of the most iconic pop-culture figures of the past century. His reach touched everything from NFL stadiums to online gaming. The latter is where we meet him today.
The Ozzy Osbourne video slot is a NetEnt product that would make the Prince of Darkness proud. Symbols in the game include crows, skulls, and Ozzy himself. Anytime Wild Symbols are chosen, a heavy guitar riff is sounded.
I was repping this one pretty hard for Halloween.
3) Bounty Showdown
Keeping with the countercultural themes of the day (and maybe the year?), Bounty Showdown makes the list with its double bonus respins and showdown free spins. Like the Ozzy Osbourne video slot, Bounty Showdown includes some heavy guitar in the background and some skull symbols in the reels. If you’ve ever gone on a mine ride at an amusement park, you’ll feel right at home.
The entire gameplay revolves around the Bonus Wild symbol. In the base game, landing exactly two Bonus Wilds triggers the Double Bonus Respin, locking those reels and giving the player a second chance to land the third Bonus Wild needed to unlock the main feature.
The primary path to big payouts is the Showdown Free Spins, triggered by three, four, or five Bonus Wilds. Before the spins begin, the player spins the Gatling Wheel three times; the resulting multiplier values (ranging from $1x to $100x) are added together to create a single, substantial Bonus Multiplier that remains active for the entire Free Spins round.
This is a great roadtrip game, if you’re ever in the spirit.
4) Space Invaders
Nothing says 2025 like space lasers and UFOs. For a year that started off with UAPs flying over New Jersey and ended with a record number of orbital launches, the age of exploration and inspiration is back. Few games embody this age of discovery quite like Space Invaders, a 5×3 slot from none other than Inspired Gaming.
Space Invaders largely mimics the popular arcade game that inspired it. The primary objective is to land three or more Scatter symbols, which can involve spinning a bonus wheel to win free spins with Wilds, Mega Reels, or Multipliers, or in some unique skill-based versions, entering a separate bonus round where the player controls the laser cannon to shoot down aliens for cash prizes and jackpots.
5) Gates of Olympus 1,000
What’s your Roman Empire? Or, in this case, Greek Empire? Was it ever an Empire? Either way, the Gates of Olympus 1,000 is an apt encapsulation of this ambiguity. A highly volatile slot brought to you by Pragmatic Play, Gates of Olympus 1,000 gives players the chance to rack up tumbling wins and multiplier symbols.
In short, Tumbling Wins (or Cascading Reels) are the feature where winning symbols vanish after a payout, allowing new symbols to drop in and potentially create consecutive wins from a single paid spin, while Multiplier Symbols (Zeus’s Orbs) are random orbs that land on the grid, and if present during a winning spin, their values are added together and applied to the total win of that entire tumbling sequence.
