Top 5 New Online Casino Slots March (Week 12) 2023

When picking out our top 5 this week, we wanted to make sure there was a good mix of themes and bonus features. We think we nailed it by going with Hot Slot™: Great Book of Magic (Wazdan), Mine & Melt (Quickspin), 2023 Hit Slot (Endorphina), The Knight King™ (Pragmatic Play), and Witch School (Belatra).

• Hot Slot™ Great Book of Magic (Wazdan)

The Hot Slot™ Great Book of Magic online slot is one we have all been waiting for from Wazdan. A book-themed casino game with scatters, expanding bonus symbols, scatters as wild symbols, Sticky to Infinity^TM, Collect to Infinity^TM and multiple buy features! What more could you ask for?

You get to spin on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 pay lines, and it is everything we expected plus more thanks to Wazdan’s ability to take a popular theme and the developer’s own twist to the gameplay. In fact, it’s possibly one of the best and most diverse book-themed online slots out there!

We also like the magical theme with wizards, serpents, owls and cauldrons giving you wins of up to 500x your spin bet for combinations of 2, 3, 4 or 5 symbols on a pay line.

Here are the features Hot Slot™ Great Book of Magic has to offer:

• Wild Symbols: The scatter symbols are also wilds substituting for the 9 regular symbols as a wildcard.
• Regular Scatter: This scatter symbol is not only a wildcard but also triggers the free spins bonus game.
• Scatter Sticky to Infinity^TM: An nice addition to the game, and one we don’t see on other book-themed slots. This scatter will stick to the reels when it lands. Therefore, you have a sticky wild that can bring in additional combination wins, and it increases your chances of landing the free spins bonus. It only appears in the base game and will remain until free spins trigger.
• Scatter Multiplier: When 3, 4 or 5 lands on the reels, you get paid 2x, 20x or 200x your spin bet.
• Collect to Infinity^TM: This is another base game sticky symbol that will remain on the reels helping you trigger the free spins bonus. It sticks in place until the free spins bonus triggers, and each time a regular scatter lands, a counter on the symbol will increase by +1. The number on the Collect to Infinity^TM symbol adds to the free spins when the bonus triggers.
• Free Spins Bonus: 3+ regular scatters or Scatter Sticky to Infinity^TM will trigger 10 free spins.
• Book Bonus Expanding Symbol: Before free spins play out, the slot chooses a bonus symbol at random. It will then expand when it lands on the reels and pay anywhere giving you multiple wins.
• Buy Feature: The buy feature gives you 6 options to trigger free spins. Standard (10 FS for 80x your bet), High (20 FS for 150x your bet), Ultra (30 FS for 300x your bet), Extreme (40 FS for 600x your bet), Double Extreme (60 FS for 1,200x your bet) and Triple Extreme (80 FS for 1,800x your bet).
• Gamble Feature: After very win, you can choose to gamble. Guess the colour of the spinning coin. If you get it right, the slot doubles your win.

Of course, if you are a Wazdan enthusiast, you will know about the Volatility Levels^TM option too. This gives you the ability to choose whether your spins play out with standard, medium or high volatility. Now that sounds like a great online slot, doesn’t it? Why not see if you can get a free casino bonus here and test it out for yourself?

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: The top 4 picture symbols pay when you line up 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line. The lower-paying symbols pay when 3, 4 or 5 symbols land onto a pay line. Here are the 5-symbol combination payouts: Wizard (500x), Serpent (200x), Owl (75x), Cauldron (75x), A (15x), K (15x), Q (10x), J (10x), 10 (10x).

• Mine & Melt (Quickspin)

Quickspin brings in a brand character, Lucky Jeb, who sniffs out gold from over a mile away. His excellent scent for the precious metal has taken him to the gold fields of California and up to the gold territories of Klondike. And as he needs a partner, you can join him on his hunt to share the spoils over 4×4 reels with 256 ways to win.

On your journey, you’ll mine gold with wild miners, a bonus game, a super bonus game, collector symbols, symbol merging, smeltdowns, and tons of multipliers!

Here are the features the game has to offer:

• Wild Miner Multipliers: When the wild miner symbols substitute as bonus symbols, they will also increase the win by 2x to 4x.
• Bonus Game: Triggered when three Bonus symbols appear on the reels during the main game. It begins with three lives, and only Smeltdown and Collector symbols can land on the reels. Landing either symbol replenishes a life. The Reward Round ends when no lives are left.
• Super Bonus Game: Initiated in the base game when 4 Bonus symbols hit the reels. You will begin the round with 4 lives. Only Smeltdown and Collector symbols can land on the reels, and either symbol replenishes a life. The game ends when you have zero lives remaining.
• Collector Symbols: These symbols have an initial value of 2 and appear in both bonus games and will increase with the Smeltdown feature. When your lives are up, the multiplier assigned to these symbols will be applied to your final win.
• Merge: When 2 collector symbols are on adjacent reels, they can merge to form a pair. This is a random event.
• Smeltdown: When a Smeltdown symbol lands on the screen, this applies a multiplier to the Collector symbols. Also, all new Collector symbols that land on the reels will benefit from the same multiplier.
• Buy Feature: Either choose to buy your way into the bonus game with a 60x buy entry or 330x for the Super Bonus Game. Note that UK casino players will not have this feature available.

Are you a fan of gold mining online slots? It is a popular theme and some of the top casino software providers on the iGaming scene also have popular golf mining slots in their collections. Gold Gold Digger and Gold Rush with Johnny Ca$h are popular BGaming titles, and Wild West Gold as well as Wild West Gold Megaways by Pragmatic Play are also top-rated gold-themed video slots.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Land 3 or 4 symbols from left to right on adjacent reels to trigger combination wins. Here are the payouts for 4-symbol wins: Stack of Gold Bars (15x), Silver Dish (5x), Pickaxe (5x), Lantern (2.5x), Cowboy Hat (2.5x), A (1x), K (1x), Q (0.5x), J (0.5x), 10 (0.5x). If you land 2 bonus symbols, you get 2x your spin bet.

• 2023 Hit Slot (Endorphina)

Endorphina’s “2023 Hit,” will captivate classic slot enthusiasts with its futuristic approach to fruit machines. This highly anticipated game has been developed by Endorphina’s genius studios and is available in over 20 languages. Players can expect superb mechanics, sounds, and visual effects that are sure to impress!

“2023 Hit” offers players a total of 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 ways to win as they spin the reels filled with delicious and lucrative fruits. The game also features several technical aspects designed to enhance the gaming experience, including a super-sophisticated Autoplay and a mega-fast Turbo Mode. The red background and large symbols are easy on the eyes, making for a seamless gaming experience.

As for the bonus features, this is what you can expect:

• Wild Symbol: The wild symbol does typical wild symbol things. When it can help to create a winning combination, it will substitute for other regular symbols.
• Free Spins: To trigger free spins, you need to land the Golden Coin scatter symbol acting 3, 4, 5, or 6 times anywhere in view to receive 8, 15, 25, or 100 free spins with special wild multipliers. If two to six scatters appear during the bonus round, players can receive 5 to 100 additional free games. During the free spins round, the wild Diamonds change colour to green, red, or purple, and receive win multipliers of x2, x3, and x5, respectively. If a winning sequence includes several wild symbols, all multipliers are added together, potentially increasing a single payout up to 3,125 times.
• Bonus Buy (Bonus Pop): In addition to the exciting gameplay, “2023 Hit” also offers the Endorphina Bonus Buy special feature, Bonus Pop. This feature includes four options based on the selected total bet, allowing players to purchase 8, 15, 25, or 100 free spins at respective prices of x46, x86, x143, and x570. It’s important to note that the Bonus Pop feature may not be available on some online casino platforms.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: You create wins by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right. The 5-symbol combination payouts for the symbols are as follows: Red Sevens (7.5x), Bells (6.25x), Stars (6.25x), Horseshoe (5x), Clover (5x), Watermelon (3x), Blueberries (3x), Orange (2.5x), Lemon (2.5x), Plum (2x), and Cherries (2x).

• The Knight King™ (Pragmatic Play)

The Knight King is a game that features a romantic-looking king wearing impressive shining armour. The visuals are done in a neat cartoon style, with dragons and the King’s love interest filling the reels. However, this release from Pragmatic Play may come across as a bit generic, which is not uncommon for this highly productive developer.

In the base game, players can enjoy a Money Prize feature, where a random symbol is selected to land complete with instant cash prizes. Unlike other games, there is no need for a collect symbol to win prizes. Moreover, the prize on the chosen symbol increases with each bonus round, leading to potential payouts up to 5,000 times the stake.

• Special Money Symbol: one of the best features of The Knight King™ slot is the special money symbols that hold a random cash value of between 0.5x and 20x the total stake. You do not need a collect symbol – these just pay out whenever they land.
• Free Spins: When you land three scatter symbols, you trigger 7 free spins. At the start of the feature, one symbol is randomly selected as a money symbol. Each time that symbol lands and pays, its price increases a random amount. You will also trigger 4 additional free each time you land 2 or more scatter symbols.
• Buy Bonus: If your region allows it, you can purchase the above free spins feature for a cost of 80x your stake.

Overall, The Knight King™ is a worthy addition to a Pragmatic Play portfolio that increases by at least 8 slots per month. That is some doing and makes the award-winning iGaming the most prolific in the industry. As this title shows, that is not at a sacrifice of quality either. You can find out more about the Pragmatic Play software developer here.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To grab some payouts on the Knight King video slot, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on a payline starting from the leftmost reel. The 5-symbol combination payouts for the symbols are as follows: Wild Symbol (15x), Dragon (7.5x), King (6x), Princess (75x), Horse (3.5x), Ace (2.5x), King/Queen (1.75x), and Jack/Ten (1x).

• Witch School (Belatra)

If you love low volatility slots with a high RTP, then Witch School by Belatra Games is going to be right up your street. This witch-themed slot carries a return-to-player percentage of 97.11% which puts it well above the average.

The theme is made obvious by the slot’s title but nonetheless, you can expect witches, wizards, potions, spells, and everything else you would expect from a witch-themed slot. Graphically, the Witch School looks good on all devices whether mobile or desktop. And the audio is a perfect match for what is happening on the reels.

As for the features, you essentially have a free spins round that has a special wild symbol that can create additional positions on the reels. Let’s have a closer look:

• Wild Symbol: The wild symbol in the base game will substitute for all regular symbols when it can create winning combinations. During the free spins feature, however, as you will see below, it has another special ability.
• Free Spins: Triggering the free spins feature is different to most slots. On the Witch School slot, you must land 3 or more ‘full reels of scatter symbols’. You will receive between 4 and 72 free spins depending on how many scatter symbols triggered the feature and the result of a spin on a Super Symbol reel. If you landed 3 full reels of scatters, you can win between 4 and 16 free spins. 4 full reels give you between 8 and 36, while 5 full reels can deliver between 16 and 72 free spins. During this feature, the Wild symbol can increase the number of winning combinations by adding more positions on the reels it lands.

If you enjoyed the above video slot, why not check out some of the other titles at Belatra Games?

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Aside from the wild symbol that requires just two, all other symbols require three or more symbols to create a winning combination. Those combinations must start on the first reel and move right along an active payline. When you land 5 matching symbols, these are the payouts you can look forward to: Wild Symbol (12.5x), Wizard (2.5x), Diamond (2x), Potion (1.5x), Cauldron (1x), Spellbook (0.75x), Black Cat (0.7x), Wand (0.65x), Witch’s Hat (0.6x), Chest (0.55x), and Claw (0.50x)
