Scientific Games, Playtika’s casino slots make Facebook’s 2015 Games of the Year

Two gambling-themed game titles made it to Facebook’s 2015 Games of the Year list.

Hot Shots Casino Slots, developed by Scientific Games’ SG Interactive division, was one of the eight games chosen as part of the social media site’s best web games for 2015. In a statement, Facebook described the game as one that “features real-world franchises seen on the floors of the most popular casinos for an authentic experience.”

“We are thrilled that Hot Shot Casino Slots was selected by Facebook as one of this year’s best web games. This recognition exemplifies our deep understanding of our players and the market, and it is a validation of Scientific Games’ commitment to creating the best entertainment for players wherever they are—online-mobile or in the casino,” Barry Cottle, chief executive interactive at Scientific Games, said in a statement.

Launched on Facebook last September, Hot Shot Casino Slots includes some of the latest slots in both land-based and online casinos. Aside from its large collection of branded slots, the game also features games such as Zeus III, 88 Fortunes and Hot Shots Progressive.
