Top 5 New Online Casino Slots April (Week 15) 2023

There are so many fantastic new games this week that it proved difficult to pick out a top 5. At least 15 of them had a strong case of being involved in our top 5 new releases. That said, we have gone with Sheep Gone Wild (Red Tiger Gaming), Banana Town Dream Drop (Relax Gaming), African Elephant™ (Pragmatic Play), Easter Luck (Mascot Gaming), and Rabbit Royale (Elk Studios).

• Sheep Gone Wild (Red Tiger Gaming)

First up this week, we have Sheep Gone Wild, a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming themed on a bunch of sleep giving it back to the big bad wolf. When you power up this slot, you might get a few Pragmatic Play vibes, at least I did. That is just in the way the artwork has been done.

Anyway, I digress. Sheep Gone Wild is a 5-reel, 4-row, and 25-payline slot that looks good in terms of graphics and animations and has some interesting bonus features. There is a Sheep Snatch feature that triggers randomly and a free spins bonus round that comes with spin modifiers you win from a picking game before the round starts.

Let’s check out those bonus features in more detail:

• Wild Symbols: The ‘Sheep’ wild symbol will substitute for all regular symbols when it can create a winning combination. The wild symbol also pays when it has its own 5-symbol winning combination.
• Sheep Snatch: This feature can trigger randomly on any spin. When it does, you will receive 1 of 2 modifiers. One will transform all instances of one symbol into wilds while another will increase a global win multiplier by 2x or 3x. It is possible to earn up to 3 modifiers on a spin and that means you can get multipliers of up to 8x.
• Wolf Spins: You receive an initial 7 free spins when you land 3 or more scatter symbols. However, before the spins start a picking game gives you 3 (or more depending on how many triggering scatters) picks from 12 sheep. The sheep will reveal modifiers such as additional free spins, an increased global win multiplier and turning lower-valued symbols into wilds. Additionally, you can earn extra picks as the free spins play out.
• Buy Bonus: For a cost of 8x your stake, you can buy the Sheep Snatch Bonus or for 100x, the Wolf Spins bonus.

On a day dominated by the Easter bunny, we felt many other animals deserved some attention too and Sheep Gone Wild certainly does that. If you enjoyed this slot as much as I did, you might want to see many of the other titles released by this leading iGaming developer over on our Red Tiger Gaming casinos guide. It lists all the games the developer has released since launching.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Creating wins on the Sheeps Gone Wild video slots involves landing 3 or more matching symbols on a payline starting from the leftmost reel. The 5-symbol combination payouts are: Wild Symbol (8x), Farmer (8x), Cow (4.8x), Pig (4x), Cat (3x), Chicken (2.4x), Ace/King (1.5x), Queen (1x), Jack/Ten (0.8x)

• Banana Town Dream Drop (Relax Gaming)

Dream Drop jackpot slots have come thick and fast since the progressive network launched about a year ago and Banana Town Dream Drop is the latest to give you a shot at winning life-changing money. Every two times the Mega Dream Jackpot pays out, it increases the must-win level of the next jackpot. This continues right up until that must-win level reaches €10 million.

If you are a Relax Gaming fan, the title may sound familiar and that is because this is a remake of the original Banana Town slot by the developer. Well, we say a remake but ultimately this is the same game just with the Dream Drop progressive jackpots bolted on. Many of the Dream Drop jackpot slots are essentially old titles with the jackpot added on.

What are the features of the Banana Town Dream Drop slot?

• Cascading Symbols (Tumble Feature): Winning symbols disappear to allow new symbols to land in their place. This can create a chain reaction of wins.
• Multiplier Upgrade: To the right of the reels is a table showing all regular symbols and their current multiplier. These start at 1x and increase by 1x every time they create a win and can grow as large as 64x. These values reset after every spin. Additionally, these can randomly upgrade at the start of a spin.
• Free Spins: You need to land at least 3 scatter symbols to trigger 8 free spins while you also get an additional spin for every additional triggering scatter symbol. During the free spins, the multiplier upgrades do not reset between spins.
• Dream Drop Jackpot Game: Triggered randomly before any spin, the jackpot game involves picking from 15 boxes. Each will reveal a symbol that corresponds to one of the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, and Mega progressive jackpots. As soon as you reveal 3 symbols for one of those jackpots, you win that jackpot.

While you won’t get to win the Dream Drop Mega jackpot, you can check out this exciting new release for free via the Banana Town Dream Drop slot demo. While you’re there, you can take a look at many of the top-quality slots offered by Relax Gaming.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Banana Town Dream Drop uses a pay anywhere mechanism to create wins. You just need to land at least 8 matching symbols anywhere in view. The biggest wins come from 12 or more matching symbols and the payouts for each symbol with that many are as follows: Red Ape (12x), Yellow Ape (6x), Purple Ape (6x), Green Ape (4x), Blue Ape (4x), Yellow Bananas/orange Bananas (3x), and Green Bananas/Blue Bananas (2x).

• African Elephant™ (Pragmatic Play)

Pragmatic Play has always loved developing animal-themed slots. Wolf Gold and Buffalo King are two top titles that spring to mind. Well, the firm has produced another, although this time the theme and title is African Elephant. As you might have guessed, the animal at centre stage this time is the African Elephant. However, he is not alone, as the reels are full of other animals found roaming the African plains, including Zebra, Rhino, Leopards, and more.

As you spin the reels on this 5-reel, 4-row, and 20-payline slot, there is a chance to trigger two bonus features and potentially win up to 15,000x your stake! The action is high variance, and the RTP is decent at 96.04%.

Let’s have a closer look at the bonus features of the African Elephant video slot:

• Wild Symbols: Whenever a wild symbol lands, it substitutes for all symbols except the scatter bonus symbol. Wilds also pay on this slot, as you will see in our combination spin bet multipliers section at the end of this review.
• Wild Shape: This is a randomly triggered feature that frames symbols in random positions. It then transforms those symbols into wild symbols.
• Free Spins: You receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins when you land 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols, respectively. During this feature, the Wild Shape will trigger on every spin.
• Buy Bonus: If you prefer more of a gamble, you can just purchase the free spins bonus for 100x your stake and try to recoup at least that to finish with profit.

Pragmatic Play used to promise at least 5 new slots each month, but in 2023, the iGaming developer has upped its game even further by promising at least 8! That is on top of the live casino and virtual sports releases it launches. For more info on where you can play games from this developer, see the list of Pragmatic Play Casinos.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: You need to land at least 3 or more matching symbols on a payline from left to right to earn payouts on the African Elephant slot from Pragmatic Play. The top 5-symbol combinations are worth the following multiplier of your stake: Wild Symbol (75x), Rhino (30x), Zebra (12.50x), Wildebeest (7.50x), Leopard (5x), Meerkat (5x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack (4x).

• Easter Luck (Mascot Gaming)

As it is Easter, it would be wrong to not include at least one or two slots themed on this popular time of year. I’ll tell you what, you will not find any that look as cute as Mascot Gaming’s Easter Luck. A lovable fluffy rabbit sits to the side of the reels and I’m going to assume that is the Easter Bunny. Then when your eyes track to the reels, you see even more cuteness. There are bunnies and sheep among others and even the frog looks adorable.

As for the game, it takes place on an interesting 3-4-5-5-4-3 reel format that offers 3,600 ways to win. Essentially, you just need to land matching symbols on consecutive reels to land payouts. Of course, the first symbol must land on reel 1. Easter Luck has high volatility and a mediocre RTP of 95.2% which is not an ideal combination. That said, there is a top payout of 1,300x to aim for and an enjoyable respins feature to look forward to.

You will find out more about that bonus feature and the rest just below:

• Wild Symbols: These substitute for all regular symbols and can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• Expanding Wild Sticky Respins: When a wild symbol lands, it expands to fill its reel and remains sticky while you receive a respin of the reels. If the respin lands another wild, the process repeats. This is possible for up to 4 respins.

While Easter Luck does not offer a wealth of bonus features, that main feature is at least enjoyable and offers the potential to spin in some good wins. If you think this slot is one that will appeal, certainly over Easter, then check out the Easter Luck slot demo here.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: As mentioned, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from reel 1 if you want to win payouts. For the top-paying 6-symbol combinations, you will receive the following multiplier of your stake: Purple Easter Egg (3x), Green Easter Egg (2x), Orange Easter Egg (1.70x), Frog (0.50x, Brown Rabbit (0.30x), White Rabbit (0.30x), Sheep (0.24x)

• Rabbit Royale (ELK Studios)

Rabbits and warfare are part of the theme in the Rabbit Royale online slot by ELK Studios. And have to say, we love it. As the studio puts it, these are Ballistic Bunnies and they are on the hunt for carrots. There isn’t a carrot farmer out there that can stop this marauding bunch as they are armed to the teeth with heavy military equipment.

You’ll spin your way to a carrot feast by blowing up on 5×5 reels with 259 ways to win. Land respins, wilds, a free spins bonus feature, plus a super bonus in a bid to help these mercenaries collect the top reward of 25,000x your spin bet, which goes straight into your casino bankroll! You take the cash, while the rabbits are happily hoarding carrots as their preferred form of currency. Sound like a fair deal?

• Wild: When the ‘W’ land on the reels, it turns into a carrot if can substitute for another symbol to create or extend the value of a symbol combination.
• Rabbit Respins: You will receive respins at random each time one of the rabbits grabs hold of a carrot or when rabbits show down against each other.
• Rabbit Face Off (Super Collect): When rabbits are on adjacent reels they are armed and dangerous. As they face off against each other, you collect wins. This can happen on any spin.
• Free Spins Bonus: Roll in 3, 4 or 5 bonus spins for 3, 4 or 5 free spins with 1, 2 or 3 sticky rabbits, respectively. The more rabbits, the high the chance of ‘Rabbit Face Off’ scenarios dishing out cash wins.
• X-iter™: You can buy your way into or increase your chances of landing bonus rounds. There are 5 options available including 2x your bet to double the possibility of triggering free spins, and for 5 free spins with 3 sticky rabbit symbols, you can pay 500x your spin bet.

You can be forgiven for thinking this was an Easter theme considering the time of the year. Well, as rabbits are part of the occasion, ELK Studios decided the fluffy cute Easter bunny rep was not on the agenda. Maybe it began as an Easter theme, but the artists got carried away and added a nuclear fall out with rabbits hunting down carrots instead of an Easter Egg hunt. It’s so good and out of this world, it definitely worth a go – find slots with bonus and free spins here and get spinning using your bonus money on Rabbit Royale!

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Symbols pay when 3, 4 or 5 land on adjacent. Farmer’s Wife (5x), Farmer (2.5x), Sewing Machine (1x), Tractor (1x), Detonator (0.5x), Chemicals (0.5x), Mailbox (0.5x), Rabbit Trap (0.5x).
