Today marks the climax of the much-anticipated Battle of Classic Slots, where we will discover which vintage game from the early 2000s deserves the title of the best.
In the final showdown, the fierce contenders are Mad Scientist from Betsoft and Viking Age, also from Betsoft. Both games triumphed in their respective semifinals, defeating Lucky Drink from Belatra and Dead or Alive from NetEnt, and they did so without losing a single round!
