Obviously suffering from some kind of New Year hangover, the iGaming games developers have just released 14 new titles in each of the last two weeks. Well, that seems to be subsiding now as this week, they have released 22 new titles between them! In our January Week 4 New Casino Games Report, we will let you know about each of the new titles that have debuted at the online casinos between the 17th and 23rd of January.

During the week, we gave reviews to two new titles, one of which is the latest from a long line of big releases from the 2021 SBC Awards Slot Provider of the Year, Pragmatic Play. That title which was developed in collaboration with Wild Streak Gaming, is Gold Party, a leprechaun themed video slot that utilises the cluster pays mechanic. It has a bunch of bonus features, including wild, scatters, 4 jackpots, and a lucrative re-spins feature.

The other slot we reviewed during the week was the third instalment in the Jane Blonde series. Called Agent Jane Blonde Max Volume, this offers a fun spy theme, a top payout of 10,000x your stake, and features free spins, multipliers, cascading symbols, and stacked wilds. Developed by Stormcraft Studios for the Microgaming platform, this slot also works via the 243-ways to win reel mechanic.

On top of those two new titles, in this report, we have given mini-reviews to six other new titles released in the past week. This includes titles from Play’n GO, Peter and Sons, iSoftBet, and Betsoft. Then, at the end, we will give you the full rundown of each of the other 14 titles that hit the online casinos in the 4th week of January.

Recap Last Report: If you missed our last report, we can tell you it brought 14 new casino titles, including the controversial Tombstone RIP from NoLimit City, the fantastic Cash Truck from Quickspin, and Red Tiger Gaming’s Get the Gold INFINIREELS.
