Another week has rolled on by and another has just got underway and within that time, there were another 27 casino games launched by the many iGaming developers that grace the industry. That brings us up to 512 for the year so far – which is a hell of a lot of video slots when you think about it. That is especially the case when you consider we’re just over a third of the way into the year.
Responsible for the great new casino content this week were developers including Inspired, 3 Oaks Gaming, Betsoft, Play’n Go, Tom Horn Gaming, and of course, Pragmatic Play. Between them, they have served up slots with themes ranging from Pirates, Knights, Ancient Egypt, Irish, Animals and Vegas. We even have news of two new live casino games, one a live video slot and the other a new variant of Baccarat.
As ever, we will deliver a mini-review of our top 5 video slots of the week and will finish up by giving you the full list of all remaining new releases. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we fill you in on what is new at the online casinos!
Last Week’s Report: If 24 is not enough to quench your thirst for new games, you can always go back to our New Casino Games May (Week 17) report. You will find another 25 hot new titles to check out!
Top 5 New Online Casino Slots May (Week 20) 2023
This week, the team has decided on Charms and Treasures (BetSoft), Royal High-Road (BGaming), Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter (Play’n GO), Knight Hot Spotz™ (Pragmatic Play), and Knights of Avalon (Red Tiger Gaming) as our top 5 slots launched last week.
- Charms and Treasures (Betsoft)
Betsoft has gone back to the tried and tested Irish theme for its latest slot, Charms and Treasures. This 5×3 slot features the impressive graphics and animations that the firm is renowned for. As you spin the reels and hope for a winning combination across the 50 paylines, you will notice a leprechaun standing beneath a rainbow to the side of the reels. He looks quite happy with himself, as just behind him is a big pot of gold.
In Charms and Treasures, you can expect to see many familiar symbols, including cherries, horseshoes, and red sevens. The slot carries a 95.80% RTP, a high variance, and a top payout of 1,414x your stake. As for the bonuses, this is what you can expect:
- Wild Symbol: The ‘Wild’ symbol will substitute for all other symbols except the leprechaun scatter symbol.
- Free Spins with Colossal Symbols: When you land at least 3 scatter symbols anywhere in view, you trigger 8 free spins. During this feature, reels 2, 3, and 4 combine to form one reel with colossal symbols landing on each spin. During the free spins feature, you can form winning combinations from right to left as well as from left to right.
- Buy Bonus Feature: For a cost of 74x your stake, you can purchase the above free spins feature. This feature is not available to players in the UK.
If you’re wondering where you can check out the Charms and Treasures video slot, you can find a long list of Betsoft online casinos here. That guide will also give you information about the many other top online slots and table games that Betsoft has released over the years.
Combination Spin bet Multipliers: During the base game, you must line create a winning combination on one of the 50 paylines. For most symbols, this requires 3 or more matching symbols. However, the wild symbol, pot of gold, and clover require just 2. The 5-symbol combination payouts are as follows: Wild Symbol (25x), Pot of Gold (25x), Clover (10x), Star (2.5x), Red Sevens (2.5x), Moon (2.5x), Hearts (0.75x), Purple Baloon (0.75x), Horseshoe (0.50x), and Cherries (0.50x).

- Royal High-Road (BGaming)
BGaming, the slot developer that is up for three awards at the 2023 EGR B2B awards to be announced on June 8, is another that has just added to its portfolio with the release of a new slot. Called Royal High-Road, this new title takes you on a regal adventure as you try to secure wins from its 5×3 and 25 payline reel format.
As ever, BGaming has done a great job in terms of aesthetics. The design has been done in a cartoony fashion with what looks like a chubby knight standing to the left of the reels. As you spin away, you can look forward to these bonus features:
- Princess Wild Symbol: The Princess Wild symbols will replicate any regular symbols if it can complete a winning combination. The wild symbol also holds its own payout value when landed 3 or more times on a payline.
- Free Spins Feature: When you land 3 or more Monster scatter symbols you will trigger 10 free spins. You will also trigger another 10 free spins whenever you land an additional 3 or more scatter symbols as the free spins play out. Duing this feature, all low paying are removed from the reels meaning only high-paying symbols land.
- Gold Repins Feature: When you land 6 or more coin symbols anywhere in view, you trigger the Gold Respins feature. This is a Hold and Win feature where the aim is to land new coin symbols. Along the way, you might even land Coin Collect symbols that add up all the coin values and pay them out to you. At the end of the round, you receive the values of all coin symbols you landed. If you manage to fill all positions, you will win the 5,000x jackpot on Royal High-Road!
- Buy Bonus Feature: For 40x your stake, you can buy straight into the respin feature. Alternatively, you can pay 50x your stake for the free spins bonus. This feature is not available to players in the UK.

- Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter (Play’ n Go)
While you will find many video slots themed on pirates, you will not, until now, find one themed on pirate hunters. Captain Glum dedicates his life to ridding the seas of those dastardly pirates that spend their time pillaging other ships.
Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter is a 5-reel and 3-row video slot that offers 243 ways-to-win. The RTP is 96.2% at max and the action is highly volatile. As for the bonus features, you can expect to find a permanent wild, a Captain’s Due feature, and a free spins feature.
- Permanent Wild: A permanent wild is always on the reels for each spin. It moves to a random position on the middle three reels on each spin of the reels. It helps to complete winning combinations by substituting for all paying symbols. The wild symbol also pays for its own winning combinations.
- Captain’s Due Feature: If you land at least one scatter symbol, you trigger the Captain’s Due feature. The permanent wild replaces one of the scatter symbols before moving around the reels. As it moves, it leaves waking wilds behind.
- The Broadside Free Spins Feature: To trigger 10 free spins and the Broadside feature, you must land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. During the free spins, the Pirate Hunter’s ship and a Pirate ship fire at each other. This destroys segments of the reels and thus increases the reels up to 5 positions in height. As the ships shoot the ship symbols on the reels, the score is recorded to the right of the reels.
- The Treasure Hunt Feature: If the Pirate Hunter wins against the pirates, you trigger an additional Treasure Hunt feature. This lets you pick one of three chests to reveal a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 10x. This then applies to the total you won from the free spins.
Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter is another great addition to the Play’n Go portfolio and is one of our favourite new releases of the week. Why not check out the Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter demo to see for yourself?
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: You must land 3 or more matching symbols to create winning combinations on the reels of the Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter slot. The 5-symbol combination wins payout the following: Wild Symbol (5x), Pirate Hunter (5x), Pirate (2.4x), Pirate Hunter Ship (1.2x), Pirate Ship (1x), Playing Card Suits (0.6x).

- Knight Hot Spotz™ (Pragmatic Play)
Is it ever a surprise to learn Pragmatic Play has released a new slot? Not likely considering the firm launches at least 8 each month. Well, the latest off the conveyor belt is Knight Hot Spotz™, a 5×4 video slot with fixed paylines. As the title suggests, this slot is themed on a Knight. However, the name does not suggest that he has a trusty sidekick who is…a pig. That is quite a strange combination, but a fun one at that.
As you spin the reels on Knight Hot Spotz™, you will not come across too much in terms of bonus features. That is particularly the case during the base game. However, this title certainly kicks into gear once you trigger the free spins mode with upgradable frame sections and money symbols.
- Wild Symbol: This performs the basic wild symbol role of substituting for all paying symbols when it can create a winning combination.
- Scatter Symbols: When you land six or more of the scatter symbol anywhere in view, you will trigger the free spins bonus feature.
- Free Spins: When you achieve the above, you receive a free spin for each triggering scatter symbol. During the free spins, each time a scatter symbol lands, its position on the reels is highlighted by a frame. Each time another scatter lands in the same position, it upgrades the frame up to three times. At the end of the feature, all the frames transform into a money symbol with a multiplier of between 1x and 200x. The more upgraded the frame, the more chance you have of landing one of the higher multipliers. You can also earn additional free spins by landing 4 or more scatters on a single spin. Again, you’re given 1 free spin per triggering scatter symbol.
While the base game is a bit lacklustre, the free spins bonus really makes up for it thanks to the money symbols and upgradeable frames. Unfortunately, you will have to trigger this feature through base game spins as there is no buy bonus feature on the Knight Hot Spotz slot from Pragmatic Play. You can find a Knight Hot Spotz demo and demo versions of all other slots from this developer over at Pragmatic Play.
Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: You must land 3 or more matching symbols to create winning combinations on the reels. The 5-symbol combination wins payout the following: Pig (24x), Egg (20x), Scroll (16x), Sword and Shield (16x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack (5x).
Knight Hot Spotz™ Online Slot Features
- 5 Reels with 25-Fixed Paylines

- High ‘Variance/Volatility’
- Wild Symbols
- Scatter Symbols
- Free Spins

- Max Win 2,000x
- Wolfkin (Red Tiger Gaming)
Wolfkin is a 5×4 slot with 25 pay lines coming from the studios of Red Tiger Gaming. And yet again, you can expect top-notch graphics and animations combined with crystal clear and entertaining sound effects. You’ll have a shot at a 780x max win on the reels with medium variance/volatility gameplay and a 40% hit rate. Features include a Wild, plus a Wolven Flame and Free Spins round helping you get in the money. And to top off the fun and excitement, there is a bonus buy option.
- Stacked Wild: The wild symbol is stacked giving you the chance to land wild reels. This symbol substitutes for all regular symbols, plus pays out 12x your spin bet if you land 5 on a pay line. The wild does not act as a wildcard for the free spins scatter.
- Stone Wolves: The Wolfkin will appear in stone on the middle reel from time to time. This will in turn give you more wild symbols on the reels as they turn from stone to wildcards!
- Wolvern Flame: When a wild reel hits, the Wolfkin can open up her flaming wings spreading wilds across other positions on the reels.
- Free Spins: Land 3 ‘Free Spins’ scatters to trigger 7 free spins. Wolfkin will dominate all 3 positions on the middle reel effectively giving a wild reel throughout the bonus.
- Additional Free Spins: Land 2 more scatters on reels 1 and 2 simultaneously from a spin for an additional 3 free spins.
- Bonus Buy: Pay 80x your bet to trigger free spins. You can also pay 10x your bet for a spin with the Wolfkin wild reel.
