Well, it’s fair to say that last week was an especially productive one for the many iGaming development companies out there providing us with regular new casino content to enjoy. Between them, they brought us 37 epic new casino games that we can all enjoy at the online casinos.
That takes us up to 367 new games for the year so far which equates to around 4 new titles for each day that has passed so far in 2023!
The great thing about the new content released last week, is that rather than just online slots, we actually had a new virtual table game and 4 new live casino games launched. The latter came from Evolution, Creedroomz, Ezugi, and ImagineLive. If you’re into live dealer titles, we strongly suggest you go check each of them out.
As for the video slots collection below, Easter style drama is back as that special time of the year is fast approaching. Plus, you’ll get acquainted with themes bringing zombies, pirates, volcanoes, and mermaids to your desktop and mobile screens. As we always expect, online slots released this week come from respected developers including Red Tiger Gaming, Pragmatic Play, AvatarUX, Push Gaming, and Games Global’s as well as the newest independent developer, Hammertime Games.
Last Week’s Report: Although nowhere near the 37 we can bring news of this week, there were another 25 new games launched the previous week. You take a look at those in our New Casino Games March (Week 13) 2023 report here.
Top 5 New Online Casino Slots April (Week 14) 2023
We had heaps to choose from and the decision was not easy, but we came to an agreement that Mr. Vegas 2: Big Money Tower™ (BetSoft), The Red Queen (Pragmatic Play), Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells (Wazdan), E-Force (Yggdrasil), and Money Farm Megaways™ (Gameart) were the best new online slots released last week. Below, you will find a mini-review of each of those excellent new titles.
- Mr Vegas 2 Big Money Tower (BetSoft Gaming)
Jack Bannon (my co-writer and editor) could barely believe his eyes when he saw Mr Vegas 2 was on the horizon. He’s a massive BetSoft Gaming fan, and he still plays Mr Vegas, Greedy Goblin (yes, he loves Greedy Goblin 2), and other top BetSoft online slots. I knew this was one he would be all over when I saw it, and guess what?
The first version came out in 2010. 13 years on and Mr Vegas is back, and the sequel is Big Money Tower played out on 5×3 reels with 60 pay lines. Just to compare, Mr Vegas (version 1) is a 5×3 reel slot with the choice of 1 to 30 pay lines a Money Wheel, Free Spins, a Roulette Bonus, and a Progressive Jackpot.
How do the Mr Vegas 2 Big Money Tower features compare?
- Wilds: The ‘Roulette Wheel’ is the video slot’s wilds card. It comes in to substitute any of the regular symbols. Also, if you land 5 wild symbols on a pay line, you get 13.33x your spin bet returned.
- Stacked Mystery Symbols: Mystery symbols stack on the reels in the base game and during the free spins bonus. They give you a higher chance of landing them. When they hit the reels, they will randomly transform into the wild or any of the regular symbols (excluding the scatters).
- Big Money Tower Bonus: Landing the ‘Big Money Tower’ scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the bonus. Mr Vegas will randomly select the ‘Bronze’, ‘Silver’, or ‘Gold’ tower. The largest wins are on the Gold tower, but it’s down to pure luck whether you get there or not. Once you are on a tower, the gameplay is simple. Flip a coin, and if you land ‘Spin Again’, you will climb the tower to bigger prizes on the next level. The bonus ends and you take the prize from the level you reach when you flip ‘Collect’.
- Free Spins Bonus: The glitzy ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign is the scatter for free spins. They are on reels 2, 3, and 4. If there is one scatter on each, you get to choose your bonus. You’ll have 2 options from 3 possible bonus spins rounds available, which you will see below in the ‘Bonus Buy’ section. Except you don’t need to buy them if you spin the scatters from a paid spin!
- Bonus Buy: Buy your way into the free spins game without having to spin the reels!
- 10 Free Spins with Sticky Wilds = 78x your total bet
- 12 Free Spins with Expanding Wilds = 123x your total bet
- 15 Free Spins with Random Wilds = 104x your total bet (Just to clarify, yes, the 15 bonus buy spins option is cheaper than 12!)
More Vegas-style slots from BetSoft include Mr Vegas the original, Sin City Nights, and Weekend in Vegas. And if you are that crazy about the Vegas scene, then why not check them out at Vegas-themed online casinos like Vulkan Vegas, Vegas Plus, LeoVegas or This is Vegas online casinos? Or you can find plenty of other virtual gambling establishments to spin the reels on the Mr Vegas 2 Big Money Tower online and mobile slots via the full Betsoft Gaming casinos guide. On this page, you will find every game released by the software provider since 2009!
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 11 combinations with 10 of them are regular symbols paying out when rolling in 3, 4, or 5 onto one of the 60 pay lines. The Wild pays only when 5 line up on a pay line. Here are the 5-symbol win multipliers: Roulette Wheel Wild (13.33x), Mr Vegas (x13.33), Female 1 (3.33x), Female 2 (3.33x), Diamond (1.6x), Casino Chips (1.2x), Dice (1.2x), Red 7 (0.67x), Ace of Diamonds (0.67x), K of Clubs (0.53x), and Queen of Hearts (0.53x).

- The Red Queen (Pragmatic Play)
Everybody knows the story of Alice in Wonderland and there are many slots themed on this tale. However, the Red Queen from Pragmatic Play is the first we have seen that is themed on the follow-up book ‘Through the Looking Glass’. This new release centres on the Red Queen and once again takes you to a mysterious world full of strange characters.
The Red Queen is a 5×3 (although there’s also an unlockable 6th reel) slot that has 243 Ways-to-Win, a high variance, a 5,000x top win, a 96.06% RTP, and a bunch of features that we will tell you about here.
Check out the The Queen Online Slot Features:
- Wild Symbols: These can appear on reels 2 to 5 and will substitute for all regular symbols if they can help create a winning combination.
- Split Symbols: At random, symbols can split so that up to four instances of the same symbol can appear in one position on the reels.
- Mystery Symbols: These will land on almost every spin and when they do, they will transform into a random regular symbol. All mystery symbols will change into the same symbol.
- Unlockable Sixth Reel: To unlock the sixth reel, you need to land at least two scatter symbols. When you do, the reel is unlocked and will spin to reveal either scatter symbols, Queen symbols, or nothing.
- Queen Respin: If that sixth reel reveals a Queen symbol, you trigger the Queen Respin. The triggering scatter symbols all transform into wilds with a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 4x. They remain sticky on the reels for the respin.
- Free Spins: If another scatter symbol lands on the sixth reel, you trigger free spins. How many you receive depends on a ‘Clock’ mini-game. If you land 3 scatter symbols the clock features a green section from 12 to 4. If it was 4 scatters that triggered the feature, that green segment stretches from 12 to 6. When the clock spins, you receive the number of free spins the spin finishes on. If that number was in the green segment, you receive another free spin and stack the spins you received.
During the free spins, a horizontal reel above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 appears. On each spin, a symbol above each reel will appear.
- +Ways: This guarantees that a split symbol appears on the reel below.
- +Wild: This will guarantee that a wild symbol with a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x will appear on the reel below.
- +1 Spin: This awards you an additional free spin.
As you can see, The Red Queen from Pragmatic Play is a feature-laden slot that offers up a lot of entertainment. In my opinion, it is one of Pragmatic Play’s better releases of the year so far. As ever, you can either load up some cash and play this title at your preferred Pragmatic Play casino or play for free via The Red Queen slot demo.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: The Red Queen uses a Ways-to-Win mechanic rather than paylines. That means you just need to land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels to create winning combinations. The top paying 6-symbol combinations will give you: The Red Queen (5x), White Rabbit (3.75x), Snowdrop Cat (3x), The Hatter (2x), Carpenter (1.5x), Ace/King (1.25x), Queen/Jack (1x), and Ten (0.5x).

- Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells (Wazdan)
Out of all the new releases, we knew were coming during the week, Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells from Wazdan was the one we anticipated the most. Once again, this slot does away with traditional symbols and base game winning combinations. You win nothing during the base game. Instead, you spin purely to trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game that could land you a grand jackpot payout of 750x your stake!
Let’s go through the features of Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells:
- Choose Your Volatility: Like many great Wazdan titles, you can choose your volatility when playing Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells. Clicking the ‘Chilli’ button, you can choose from 1 Chilli (low volatility), 2 Chillies (medium volatility), and 3 Chillies (high volatility).
- Cash Infinity™ Symbols: These symbols can land during the base game and will lock in place until you trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game. They also stick to the reels and carry over into that bonus round. These will also hold a multiplier of your stake between 5x and 10x.
- Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game: The whole purpose of Mystery Kingdom™: Mystery Bells is to unlock the excellent main bonus feature, the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game. You do this by lining up any 4 bonus symbols across the middle row on the reels. Those symbols and any Cash Infinity™ symbols remain in place for the bonus round. Essentially, you receive 3 respins which reset whenever a new bonus symbol lands in a vacant position.
The types of symbols that can land, are as follows:
- Regular Cash Bonus Symbols: These hold a multiplier value of 1x to 5x your stake.
- Regular Cash Bonus Symbols: These hold a multiplier value of 1x to 5x your stake.
- Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpot Symbols: These will award 10x, 20x, and 50x your stake at the end of the bonus round.
- Collector Symbols: These will accumulate all the values from the regular bonus cash symbols and the Cash Infinity™ symbols and apply a multiplier of between 1x and 20x.
The Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game will end once you run out of respins or have filled all vacant positions with a bonus symbol. If he latter, you win the 750x Grand jackpot. If the former, all the bonus symbols are added up and awarded to you.
- Gamble Feature: After a win on the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game, you have the option of doubling your win via a Gamble Feature. You can do this up to seven times but do remember that a loss will lose everything you had won.
- Buy Bonus: By clicking the ‘Shopping Cart’ icon during the base game, you can buy straight into the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game. You have 5 options costing from 50x your stake up to 300x. The cheapest will give you basic entry into the feature. The more you spend, the better the bonus symbols you start with. For 300x, you receive 4 Cash Infinity™ symbols and 3 Mystery Symbols.
- One Click to the Grand Jackpot: Before the Hold the Grand Jackpot round starts, you receive a chance to hit that jackpot via one click. This is a picking game that allows you to choose one position on the reels. It will reveal either a Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpot symbol. If the latter, you instantly win the 750x grand Jackpot and the bonus game is ended.
Phew, that’s a lot of features, right? That is expected from a slot developed by the talented team at Wazdan. I certainly suggest you check it out for yourself. However, before you go, why not see if you can find a free bonus on registration no deposit required and you can test out this epic new slot?

- E-Force (Yggdrasil)
With Easter just around the corner, it is no coincidence that we are seeing a ton of Easter-themed slots hitting online casinos. One of the best so far made its debut last week. From Yggdrasil, this slot is E-Force, a 5×3 slot with 243 Ways-to-Win that offers a completely different take compared to other Easter-themed slots.
You can expect grenades, bazookas, and machine guns as you and your army of rabbit soldiers attempt to stave off Dr Zeppelin, a fox who is determined to steal all the Easter eggs. What we like about this theme is that it offers plenty of nods back to action movies of the 80s. Many of the main rabbit characters look similar to the likes of Rambo, Robocop, Commando, and more.
Let’s take a sneak peak at the features you can expect on E-Force:
- Wild Symbols: The Robocop wild symbol will substitute for all paying symbols and even the free spins symbol.
- Free Spins: When you land 3 or more free spin scatter symbols, you trigger the free spins bonus. The number of symbols landed determines how many spins you receive. Therefore, you can win anywhere between 3 and 15. During this feature, there is a global multiplier that also starts at the number of symbols landed. For example, 5 free spins symbols give you 5 free spins and a starting global multiplier of 5x. Each time a free spin symbol or wild symbol lands during the spins, you receive an additional free spin and the multiplier increases by 1x.
- Buy Bonus Feature: If you want to dive straight into the bonus round, you can via the Buy Bonus feature. For 50x your stake, you will receive a random number of free spins between 3 and 9 and with a random multiplier of between 3x and 9x. Alternatively, you can go for broke with 15 free spins with a starting multiplier of 15x at a cost of 500x your stake.
You’re unlikely to find an Easter-themed slot quite like this one and that is part of the reason we love it. By the way, if you want to find more slots developed by Yggdrasil, just use our Yggdrasil slot developer overview here.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: E-Force uses a Ways-to-Win mechanic, which means you just need to land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel to create winning combinations. The following is the 5-symbol combination payouts for each symbol type: Rambo Rabbit (5x), Bruce Lee Rabbit (4x), Commando Rabbit (2x), Indiana Jones Rabbit (2x), Pink, Yellow, Blue, and Gree Easter Eggs (1x).
The E-Force Online Slot Features
- 5×3 Reels with 243 Ways-to-Win
- 96% Theoretical RTP
- Medium-High ‘Variance/Volatility’
- Wild Symbols
- Free Spins with Increasing Multiplier
- Buy Bonus Feature (2 Options)
- Min-Max Bets: 0.10 to 100.00
- Max Win 10,000x
- Money Farm Megaways™ (Gameart)
GameArt has already released three Megaways titles, and the developer’s ability to innovate and create original content with each new instalment is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the Megaways genre. Unlike other developers who stick to the same Bonanza-inspired blueprint, GameArt’s Money Farm Megaways closely follows their successful Pirate’s Pearl Megaways, and it is a more impressive release in our opinion.
The base game is more engaging than expected, offering a Win Mill multiplier ladder that unleashes wild transformations when reaching the top. Additionally, players can enjoy mystery symbols and expanding multiplier wilds that can reach up to x10. Furthermore, gamblers can acquire a starting multiplier of up to x40 in the bonus round. With a whopping 100,000x potential, this release is even more appealing, and GameArt’s Megaways series is proving to be one of the most exciting developments in the online casino industry.
- Cascading Symbols (Tumble Feature): After each win, the winning symbols disappear from the reels. New symbols drop in place and can create cascading wins.
- Mystery Reveal Feature: Mystery Symbols can land during the base game and free spins feature. Often in groups, these symbols will transform into the same random regular paying symbol.
- Win Mill Feature: During the base game, every cascade will increase a multiplier value up to a maximum of 10x. The first cascade has 1x, the next 2x, and then 3x, 5x, 7x, and 10x for subsequent cascades. When you reach 10x, you trigger the Win Mill feature that turns random symbols on the reels into wild symbols.
- Expanding Wilds: On the horizontal reel above the middle four reels, wild multiplier symbols can land. When they do, they turn the below reel completely wild with that multiplier value also applied.
- Free Spins with Increasing Multiplier: You trigger up to 10 free spins and a 5x starting multiplier when you land 4 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. Every cascade win will increase that multiplier by 1x. Additionally, when you land 3 or 4 scatter symbols, you will earn another 5 or 10 free spins, respectively. Finally, Eater Egg symbols can carry a multiplier of up to 10x which is added to the global multiplier value.
- Gamble Free Spinsand Multiplier: You can gamble your won free spins and multiplier value. Using this feature, you could unlock up to 27 free spins and a 40x multiplier.
- Buy Bonus: 25x for the Mystery Reveal, 30x for the Win Mill, 300x for 8 free spins, and 700x for a mystery number of spins.
The number and quality of the above features are further evidence of just how good Money Farm Megaways™ is. We had a great time testing it out and if you want to try it for yourself, just make your way to the Gameart Money Farm Megaways™ demo.
