WReader’s Choice 2021 Best Slots Winners!
ith vaccination rates up and covid-19 cases down, California fully reopened on June 15th, and California casinos’ temperature checks and physical distancing requirements are gone, and at most casinos, capacity limits have been eased. Casino guests who are fully vaccinated can go
mask-free, and those who are not vaccinated, are asked to wear a face covering indoors.
So at the casino, if you’re vaxed, you can shed your mask. If you’re not vaxed, mask up. Apart from the
casino, we all are required to wear a mask if we’re using public transit or traveling by taxi, plane or train. After a year and a half of reminding casino guests of safety requirements, we’re thrilled that SoCal casinos
are back to normal play — new normal, that is.
During May, readers voted at TheGamingGuide.com for their favorite slots in the annual Southern
California Gaming Guide Reader’s Choice 2021 Best SlotsTM. Twelve best slot categories were on the ballot with slot games available to play in Southern California casinos, nominated by slot manufacturers, plus a write-in voting option for each category. The top three placed slots voted in each category were the
2021 Best Slot winners.
Congratulations to all Southern California Gaming Guide Reader’s Choice 2021 Best SlotsTM winners!
See if your favorite slot games made the best beginning on page 12. And be sure to check out the New Digital Bonus at TheGamingGuide.com where this month you can see some 2021 Best Slots Winners come alive in vibrant videos.

Meanwhile, stay well, and as always, wager wisely and have fun at the casinos!
