We can tell you that some of the most recognisable iGaming firm’s were among those to release new content last week. You can expect fresh slots from the likes of Pragmatic Play, Play’n Go, iSoftBet, NoLimit City, Yggdrasil, Amusnet Interactive.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the hot new titles you can get your teeth into at the online casinos. We’re confident that there is something for everyone in this cracking list of new video slots.
Last Week’s Report: When you have finished with the new content in this report, why not check our Week 3 2023 New Casino Report that details 22 other recently released casino games.
TOP 5 Video Slot Releases – Week 4 New Casino Games Report January 2023
Making our top five new titles of last week are three, yes three new ‘Book’ slots, a Megaways title from Pragmatic Play, and the luck-themed Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits! slot from Endorphina. Below, you will find mini-reviews of those new video slots that highlight the bonus features of each.
- Book of Fate (Nailed! it Games)
The new Book of Fate casino game comes from a Polish developer that has just entered the iGaming market via Games Global (formerly Microgaming). Kudos to the crew at ‘Nailed it! Games’ because one way to get your video slot noticed on the iGaming scene is to release a book-themed video slot.
And the developer’s Book of Fate does not disappoint. It comes with 10 pay lines, 5×3 reels, free spins with a special/expanding symbol, a buy bonus, and a massive 50,000x max win. And it comes with a traditional Egyptian theme bringing well-known mythological gods of Egypt to the reels, while the overall vibe brings forth a tropical oasis look and feel. What’s more, the highest symbol pays a huge 500x multiplier!
- The Book (Scatter Multiplier/Wild): The book is the Book of Fate video slot’s scatter symbol and wildcard. The scatter pays spin bet multipliers and triggers the free spins bonus when 3, 4, or 5 lands anywhere on the reels. For the multiplier, you will earn 2x, 20x or 200x the spin bet, respectively. As a wild symbol, the book substitutes for all other regular symbols.
- Free Spins (Retriggers): 3, 4 or 5 scatters anywhere in view will earn you 8 free spins. More scatters on the reels during the free spins bonus will land you an additional 8 free spins. Nailed It! Games say this feature will hit once every 400 spins on average.
- Special Expanding Symbol (Free Spins): Before the ‘Free Spins’ or ‘Feature Spins’ rounds spin-off, one of the Book of Fate’s regular symbols will become the ‘Special Symbol’. This symbol will turn to gold and will remain this way until the bonus ends. Special symbols expand when 3 low-paying special symbols are viable or when 2 high-paying special symbols are on the reels.
- Multipliers (Free Spins): The ‘Special Symbol’ will pick up random multipliers during the free spins bonus. These amounts are 1x, 2x, 4x, 5x, 7x or 10x. With the highest multiplier, you could land the 50,000x max win payout.
- Feature Spin: This feature triggers randomly during the base game. It will give a free spin and includes the ‘Special Symbol’ feature.
- Super Spins: The ‘Free Spins’ or ‘ Feature Spin’ can turn into a ‘Super Spins’ bonus if the book symbol becomes the ‘Special Symbol’. During this mode, all symbols expand!
- Buy Free Spins: You can buy your way into the ‘8 Free Spins’ or ‘8 Super Free Spins’ for 100x or 750x your spin bet respectively.
- Chance x2: You can increase your chances of landing the free spins bonus by turning this feature on. It will cost an additional 25% on top of your spin bet. With this activated the bonus hits on average once every 200 spins.
Ironically enough, I just covered a book-themed free spins bonus special, and then I got to play the brand-new Book of Fate just this morning. I loved it and passed it on to the team and met equally as upbeat enthusiasm as myself.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 9 regular symbols that pay when 3, 4 or 5 land on a pay line. 5-symbol combos for high-paying symbols pay as follows: The Archaeologist Adventurer (500x), Pharaoh (200x), Horus (75x), and Anubis (75x). Low paying symbols pay A (15x), K (15x), Q (10x), J (10x), and 10 (10x).

If you love rabbits, then meet Mr. Rabbit on the reels of Endorphina’s latest video slot release – Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits. This larger-than-life game comes with a lush countryside background, as you would expect where rabbits are involved.
There are 10 pay lines, 5×3 reels, wilds, a wedding bonus game and the chance to double your winnings via a ‘Risk’ gamble feature. Expect plenty of animations on what is ultimately a colourful slot with a loveable theme and excellent graphics!
- Wild: The wild symbol is the green ‘$’ sign with rabbits’ ears. This is the Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits video slot’s highest paying symbol combination dishing out 3x, 8x or 18x your spin bet when linking up 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line, respectively. It also acts as a substitute symbol (wildcard) for the other 7 regular symbols on the reels.
- Wedding Bonus Trigger: Mr Rabbit and one of his girlfriends need to land simultaneously on reels 1 and 5. They will then get hitched triggering the Wedding Bonus game. New reels will appear and a Respins bonus will ensure.
- Wedding Bonus Respins: New reels will appear, and you have 3 respins. Each time a new baby rabbit sticks to the reels, the respins resets to 3, and the more baby rabbits you collect, the higher your win. If you collect 42 or more, you win 4,000x your bet.
- Jackpot: During the Weeding Bonus, you could land any of the non-progressive jackpots, each of which pays spin bet multipliers. When a hat hits the reels, it means at the end of the round either the GOLD (100x), SILVER (50x) or BRONZE (25x) jackpot will reveal itself.
- Bonus Pop: You’ll pay a 64x spin bet fee to trigger this bonus round. At this point, you will need to choose Mr. Rabbit’s Miss Right and buy her a gift. There’s a ‘Blue’, ‘Red’ or ‘Pink’ as your options.
- Risk Feature (Gamble): You can choose to gamble after any win. You’ll need to choose one of the four face-down cards. If it is higher than the face-up card, you double your winnings. Once you open the gamble feature, you are not obligated to play. You have the option to exit if the face-up card is too high. Also, when you win, you can choose to play again or exit at any time.

- Pilgrim of Dead (Play’n Go)
Following on from Book of Fate, we have yet another ‘Book’ slot, this time from Play’n Go. Called Pilgrim of Dead, this 5×3 video slot has 10 paylines and a familiar free spin feature that includes expanding sticky symbols.
Play’n Go know all about developing this type of slot as they have produced the most popular of all in the Book of Dead. While this is not a direct sequel to that title, it does share a similar name. Of course, the theme is also similar as Pilgrim of Dead once again takes you to the tombs of Ancient Egypt. By the way, if you want to check out Pilgrim of Dead for free, you can do so on the Play’n Go website. While you’re there, you might want to check out the daddy of all ‘Book’ slots, Book of Dead.
In terms of aesthetics, there are no complaints. Displayed in HD, this slot looks fantastic. The symbols are well-drawn and the audio really helps to immerse you into that familiar tomb-scouting theme. As for the features, there’s just one and that is the famous free spins feature that includes a randomly selected symbol acting as an expanding sticky wild symbol.
- Wild/Scatter Symbol: If you have played any ‘Book’ slot before (most of you will have), you will know that they have a wild symbol that also acts as a scatter. In Pilgrim of Dead, that symbol is a tomb rather than a book but it does the same thing. It will substitute for all other symbols and is also the triggering symbol for the free spins feature.
- Free Spins with Expanding Sticky Wild Symbols: When you land 3 or more Tomb wild/scatter symbols you win 5 free spins. Before the feature starts, one symbol is randomly selected as the expanding sticky wild. If you’re not happy with the symbol chosen, you have one chance to swap it. If you choose to go for another symbol, you have no choice but to accept it. During the feature, when that symbol lands on at least 2 reels (if it’s a high-paying symbol) or 3 reels (if it’s a low-paying symbol), it will expand to fill those reels and stick in place until the end of the feature. When you land 3 or more scatters during free spins, you’re awarded further free spins up to a maximum of 30.
- Gamble Feature: After any win during the base game, and even after the free spins feature, you can gamble what you have won. You can double or even quadruple what you win depending on the reveal of a playing card. If you choose a suit colour and win, you double your win. Alternatively, if you choose the correct suit, you quadruple that win. Be aware that losing will lose everything you previously won.
Is Pilgrim of Dead in the same league as Book of Dead? Probably not but it is still another solid title from Play’n Go!
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To earn wins on Pilgrim of Dead, you must land 2 (if high-paying symbols) or 3 symbols on a payline. The 5-symbol combinations wins are as follows: Tomb Wild/Scatter (100x), Pharoah (100x), Anubis Statue (25x), Scales (12.5x), Scarab (12.5x), Ace/King (6x), Queen/Jack/Ten (4x).

- 5×3 Reels with 10 Paylines
- 96.20% Theoretical RTP
- High Variance/Volatility
- Wild/Scatter Symbol
- Free Spins with Expanding Sticky Wilds
- Gamble Feature
- Min-Max Bet 0.10 to 100.00
- Max Win 10,000x
- Jack Potter & The Book of Dynasties (Apparat Gaming)
Continuing on with yet another ‘Book’ slot that has made our top 5 this week, we have Apparat Gaming’s Jack Potter & The Book of Dynasties. This one sounds eerily similar to Pragmatic Play’s ‘John Hunter’ series, but let’s be honest, most ‘Book’ slots are little more than copies of the original Book of Ra slot from Novomatic, so it would be wrong to point at Apparat Gaming for doing similar. You can read our Book of Ra Alternatives portal to see more of this type of video slot.
Again, you have very similar features including a ‘Book’ wild/scatter symbol and a free spins round that features one randomly assigned symbol as an expanding sticky wild. The gameplay is high variance and the RTP is a decent 96.06%. Plus, if you fill all positions on the reels with a wild symbol, you will win the top payout of 5,000x your stake.
- Wild/Scatter Symbol: The ‘Book’ is a wild symbol and a scatter symbol rolled into one. It will substitute for all paying symbols to create wins. Plus, land 3 or more and you trigger 10 free spins.
- Free Spins with Expanding Sticky Wild Symbol: When you trigger this feature, one regular symbol is randomly selected as an expanding sticky wild symbol. Whenever that symbol lands, it will expand to fill its reel while also acting as a wild.
Unlike Book of Pilgrim, there is no gamble feature on the Jack Potter & The Book of Dynasties online slot which is a shame. However, if you just want to play a run-of-the-mill ‘Book’ slot, this title has you covered. It has good graphics, the usual Ancient Egyptian theme, and a fear-inducing soundtrack.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: As with most ‘Book’ slots, you need to land 3 or more of the low-paying symbols to create wins on the reels. All high-paying symbols need just 2. The 5-symbol combination payouts on this slot are as follows: Book Wild/Scatter (100x), Jack Potter (500x), Egyptian Female (200x), Anubis (75x), Scarab (75x), Ace/King (15x), Queen/Jack/Ten (10x).

- 5×3 Reels with 10 Paylines
- 96.06% Theoretical RTP
- High Variance/Volatility
- Wild/Scatter Symbol
- Free Spins with Expanding Sticky Wilds
- Min-Max Bet 0.10 to 50.00

- Mammoth Gold™ Megaways™ (Pragmatic Play)
In true Pragmatic Play style, Mammoth Gold™ Megaways™ is one of three new slots launched by the firm throughout the last seven days. They launched one just today called Fish Eye and we already know that Monster Superlanche is another coming this week. Out of those three, we feel that Mammoth Gold™ Megaways™ is the best, and that is why it has made our top 5 this time around.
This is a prehistoric-themed slot that features the Megaways mechanic that can deliver up to 117,649 ways-to-win. Along the way, you will come across wild multipliers, free spins with a global multiplier, and cascading symbols. This is a 6-reel slot that also has a horizontal reel above the main reels.
- Cascading (Tumble) Symbols: When you land winning combinations, the symbols disappear. New symbols drop into place and can create further winning combinations.
- Wild Multiplier Symbol: Represented by a Volcano symbol, the wild will only land on the horizontal reel above the main reels. It will substitute for all paying symbols and carries a multiplier of 2x or 3x.
- Free Spins: To trigger free spins, you must land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. The number you win depends on the spin of a wheel. The maximum you can receive is 14. During the feature, there is a global multiplier to the right of the reels. Starting at 1x, it will increase by 1x after each cascade win on the reels. When you land a wild multiplier on the horizontal reel, it will multiply that global multiplier by 2x or 3x. That is how you can achieve massive multipliers.
- Free Spins Gamble Feature: If you’re not happy with the number you won, you have the option to gamble for more. However, if you lose, you will lose all those that you previously won.
- Buy Bonus: If you’re not the type to wait around for scatter symbols to trigger the above feature, you can buy it outright via the Buy Bonus feature. It costs 100x your stake but guarantees you trigger free spins on the next spin.
Sound like a Pragmatic Play slot you could get your teeth into? Then you can check it out and other titles by playing the demo version on Pragmatic Play’s website.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: The Mammoth symbol is the highest-paying and the only symbol that can create a 2-symbol win. You need to land a minimum of 3 matching symbols on consecutive reels to create a win with all other symbols. The 6-symbol payouts are as follows: Mammoth (5x), Sabre-Tooth Cat (3x), Wolf (2x), Boar (1x), Bear (0.75x), Dodo (0.75x), Spades/Hearts (0.6x), Clubs/Diamonds (0.5x).
