Welcome to our first new casino games report for December.
This is also one of the last reports of the year before 2022 kicks into action where we’ll be back with 52 more exhilarating weekly coverage of new games hitting the iGaming scene.
As it’s the final month of the year, it will come as no surprise that the focus of most new video slot releases centre around the festive season – just check out our main image, which gives a clue of what’s to come.
However, if you are not looking to get into the Christmas spirit, there are plenty of other slots to choose from with themes ranging from fantasy slots like Age of Beasts Infinity Reels by ReelPlay + Yggdrasil and Empire Shields by Microgaming partner studio – Gong Gaming Technologies.
Altogether, we have 27 different slot titles mentioned in this report. Unfortunately, we didn’t come across any new live casino or table games this week. If you are looking for new table games, then check out the November Week 4 New Casino Games report where the brand-new Pragmatic Play Sweet Bonanza Candyland Live wheel of fortune title was announced in the same week as the brand new live blackjack tables by newcomers to the live casino arena – On Air Entertainment.
What about last week’s slots? In total last week we came up with 25 video slot titles for you to hunt the online casino wires for. Just in case you missed some of the recommended titles, then check out Reign Of The Mountain King (NextGen), Zuma Riches (Gong Gaming + Microgaming), Kochbuch (Swintt), Merlin And The Ice Queen Morgana (Play’n Go), Book of Fallen (Pragmatic Play), and 20 more top titles.
