For the second time in Bigwinboard Awards history, Nolimit City‘s San Quentin series has claimed the coveted Game of the Year title. San Quentin 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2021 winner, emerged victorious in this year’s awards, earning the praise and votes of the Bigwinboard community members.
The road to victory wasn’t without its challenges. Initial polls faced mass bot voting, forcing a complete reset and relocation of the voting process to Bigwinboard’s own platform. This ensured fairness and a voice truly reflective of the hardcore player base. After a heated final round, San Quentin 2 clinched the title with 26.34% of the votes, narrowly edging out Pragmatic Play‘s Sugar Rush 1000 and Hacksaw Gaming‘s Le Pharaoh, with Fire in the Hole 2 also close behind.
Launched on the 24th of September, San Quentin 2 builds on the legacy of its predecessor, which won Game of the Year in 2021, by taking everything players loved and turning it up a notch. The game’s gritty prison theme, extremely volatile gameplay, and insane 200,000x win potential captured the imagination of players, cementing its place as a standout release of 2024. Nolimit City’s bold design choices and relentless innovation have once again proven their ability to deliver games that resonate deeply with their audience.
Congratulations to Nolimit City and San Quentin 2 for taking the top spot this year. With such a strong showing and an undeniable connection with players, this title has firmly earned its place in Bigwinboard Awards history.
