Os Man Award: Best Sports-themed Slot
Funny that, in a calendar year that included the Beijing Olympics and the European football championship final, the video slot offerings were so, in the parlance of our times, meh. In fact, the best two games in this subcategory were based on American football: $5,000,000 Touchdown and Pigskin Payout.
The Os Man here will go to $5,000,000 Touchdown by a yard, thanks to its beautiful graphic reproductions of the gridiron game and fun bonus round. A little more inspiration here next year, OK, guys?
Other nominees: Bob’s Bowling Bonanza; Game On, a single-liner combining funny animals and footy; golf-themed, Caddyshack-reminiscent Lucky Shot.
