There's no denying that 2017 was a mess of a year from the blunder at the Oscars with La La Land to the tone-deaf Pepsi advert with Kendall Jenner - but it wasn't all bad! In the world of iGaming, online slots had a radical growth with some inventive titles pushing online slots to the next level.

2017 saw the birth of legendary franchises and some absolutely bonkers slot that continue to shock and impress even today. From Megaways to unbelievable progressive jackpots, 2017 had a huge variety of features and mechanics in online slots that you can help but be amazed at. In no particular order, here are ten of the best slots from 2017.

This is perhaps one of the strangest and weirdest slots that we've seen at Slot Gods - and we absolutely love it.

Not only does this slot come with a crazy premise but it actually delivers with a host of features including Nuclear Spin and Boom Time.

If that doesn't sell you on the slot, then what about slapstick animations featuring the two stars of the slot? Rocket Men is entirely bonkers and you can't help but appreciate what Red Tiger Gaming has created with this slot. For those of you looking for a wacky slot that you must play, then check out Rocket Men.

Finn and the Swirly Spin will make you forget all you know about slots as it completely throws the traditional format out of the window. NetEnt's Finn and the Swirly Spin uses a single swirling reel as opposed to the traditional five or six - so you use the brand new mechanic called the Avalanche Swirly Spin mechanic with 25 symbols swirling around the screen along with a single reel in a clockwise direction.

Aside from this cutting-edge mechanic, Finn and the Swirly Spin also reinvents the Irish genre with tasteful design choices with little gimmicks as the slot looks beautiful and modern. This slot may not be for everyone, but it's worth checking out for the innovative mechanic.
