For a rundown of the latest slots and table games from the past 7 days, tune into the New Online Casino Games in August (Week 34) 2023! (Image courtesy of casinoplusbonus.com)

Ready to find out about another batch of new casino games released last week? Then, you’re in the right place as we’re back with the 34th edition of our weekly slot report.

We’ve been blessed with at least 25 new casino games per week for months, but the releases slowed down a little in the previous week. That said, we still have 22 new games for you to check out the next time you visit your favourite online casinos.

If you’re a regular reader of this report, you’ll know we have been counting as we go along so that we know how many new titles have been released in 2023. Well, that number has now surpassed the 900 mark, as the 22 new games last week brought the total so far in 2023 up to 914.

As ever, we have a ton of new video slots to tell you about, but also among the releases in the past seven days was a unique live game from Evolution and an RNG table game from Switch Studios. The exciting story behind Evolution’s release is that it is a new version of a game the firm shut down as it did not hit the desired mark with players. The leading live supplier will hope that Gold Vault Roulette will deliver the sort of entertainment that Gold Bar Roulette, for whatever reason, could not.

Last Week’s Report: Before we get into the new games ready and waiting at the online casinos, let us point you toward another batch of new games in last week’s New Casino Games in August (Week 33).

Top 5 New Online Casino Games August (Week 34) 2023

As we played our way through all the new releases, we had a brilliant time here at CasinoPlusBonus. We all had our favourites but eventually decided on Forge of Olympus™ (Pragmatic Play), Piggies and the Bank™: Mega Fire Blaze (Playtech), Dice Million (BGaming), Lockdown LOOT™ (Playtech), and Honey Rush 100 (Play’n GO), as our top 5 for the week.

Below, you will see mini-reviews for each of those. Once you have read through those, we have compiled the list of all remaining new casino games launched since our last report.

• Forge of Olympus™ (Pragmatic Play)

The Greek God theme is one of the most popular video slots, and Pragmatic Play has released another this week. However, it is not themed on Thor, Zeus, Hades, Apollo, or any other well-known Greek Gods, as this time it is Hephaestus, the Greek god of metalworking that takes centre stage.

Forge of Olympus™ is a 6-reel and 5-row slot that utilises a scatter pays-type pay anywhere reel mechanic to determine payouts. Essentially, you win when at least eight matching symbols land anywhere in view. The slot also features tumbling reels which remove all winning symbols so that new symbols can drop into play and potentially create further wins on the current spin.

As you spin the reels on this exciting slot, you could win up to 5,000x your stake and run into the following bonus features.

• Multiplier Hammer Symbols up to 100x: Multiplier symbols between 2x and 100x can land anywhere on the reels in the base game and free spins. When they do, the multiplier will apply to any wins you receive from the spin.
• Free Spins: When you and 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols, you first receive a payout of 3x, 5x, or 100x, respectively. You also trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. You start at Level 1, but as you collect multiplier symbols in front of the spins, you can climb the levels up to Level 4.

• Level 1: The multiplier symbols have standard multipliers ranging from 2x to 100x.
• Level 2: Those multipliers increase to 8x up to 100x.
• Level 3: This level increases them to 15x to 100x.
• Level 4: The multipliers start as low as 50x and up to 100x on the final level.

• Ante Bet Feature: For 25% on top of your stake, you can use the Ante Bet feature to double your chances of triggering the free spins bonus.
• Buy Free Spins Bonus: If you’d rather gamble, you can buy into the free spins feature. For 100x your stake, you will receive the feature starting at level 1. Alternatively, you can start at levels 2, 3, or 4 for 200x, 400x, or 500x your stake.

Pragmatic Play releases many new slots each month, but Forge of Olympus™ is undoubtedly one of the best we have come across in 2023. The Pay Anywhere mechanic and tumbling reels ensure there’s always something going on. Plus, the multiplier symbols (especially in free spins) always have a chance to create epic wins.

Similar games, you might want to check out some other Greek God-themed slots, such as Gates of Olympus, which won Pragmatic Play the EGR Operators Awards 2021 ‘Game of the Year’ award. And it is available via the Casinoplusbonus no deposit bonus registration hub on the main ‘casinos with free bonus on registration’ list. More similar titles include Gates of Gatot Kaca and Sword of Ares.

Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: You need at least eight matching symbols to bring payouts from the regular symbols and at least four for the scatter symbol. The 12+ (6 for Scatter) combination payouts are as follows: Scatter Symbol (100x), Medusa (50x), Helmet (25), Goblet (15x), Ring (12x), Yellow Gem (10x), Green Gem (8x), Blue Gem (5x), Pink Gem (4x), Red Gem (2x).

• Piggies and the Bank™: Mega Fire Blaze (Rarestone Gaming/Playtech)

Who doesn’t love money? It’s why we play video slots in the first place, right? Well, the latest slot to come out of Playtech via Rarestone Gaming is themed on the stuff. Piggies and the Bank™: Mega Fire Blaze is the latest in the Mega Fire Blaze range and contains features such as wild symbols, a Gold Wild Respins feature, the Mega Fire Blaze hold and win game, and free spins. Also, the luckier among you may even manage to take down a top payout of 4,150x the stake!

Let’s dive into those features in more detail on this 5-reel, 3-row, and 50-payline slot:

• Wild Symbols: The Piggy Bank Wild Symbols substitute for all other symbols except scatter symbols when they can help to create or improve a winning combination.
• Gold Wild Respins with Moving Wild Stacks: If Gold Piggy Bank wild symbols fill an entire reel, those symbols move one reel to the left before a respin of the remaining reels takes place. You continue to receive respins until the symbol moves far enough left to fall off the reels.
• Mega Fire Blaze Bonus: If you land six+ coin symbols anywhere in view, you trigger the Mega Fire Blaze bonus feature, which will take you over to a grid. Here you will have 3 respins. Each time a new coin lands, the respins reset to 3. Additionally, when you collect 2 Coin Key symbols, you increase the grid size to a maximum of 5×9. You also win a multiplier of 2x and 5x multipliers on the larger grids, respectively. If you expand the grid entirely, all coins turn into one of the Mini (20x), Minor (100x), Major (500x), or Grand (2,000x) jackpots. You receive your payouts once you have run out of respins or filled the entire grid.
• Free Spins: 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view will trigger 8 free spins of the reels. Every time a Gold Wild symbol lands during this feature, it will expand to fill the reels, become sticky, and trigger the Gold Wild Respins feature. You will also retrigger the free spins feature whenever you land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view.

Now is the time to open your piggy bank to see what you have. Piggies and the Bank™: Mega Fire Blaze is another excellent addition to the Mega Fire Blaze range that already has exciting slots such as Mega Fire Blaze Big Circus, Mega Fire Blaze Wild Pistolero, and Mega Fire Blaze Emporer of Rome. Plus, you can find other casino games in that range on our top Playtech online casino overview!

Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: Apart from the scatter symbol that pays for 3 or more matching symbols in any position on the reels, you need 3 or matching symbols on a payline to create winning combinations. The top payouts come with 5 matching symbols, and those payouts are the Scatter Symbol (50x), Pink Piggy Bank Wild Symbol (3x), Gold Piggy Bank Wild Symbol (3x), Gold Bars (3x), Safe (2x), Cash (2x), Wallet (2x), Ace/King (1.5x), Queen/Jack/Ten (1x).

• Dice Million (BGaming)

BGaming has brought another great game to its catalogue. Dice Million is a well-designed game with great features that immediately give you that fun casino feel. On top of that, you can choose between 3 different skins, which will change the game’s appearance.

The layout has a 5×4-reel design with 100 fixed paylines. Players have a 97.23% RTP, and the win variance is medium to high, with the hit rate at 4.30. Features include Expanding Wilds and Gamble Rounds; the max payout is 3,000x.

• Wild Symbols: Wild Symbols in this game are used as a substitute for other symbols. The Wild will replace another symbol to complete a winning combination. The only symbol that it cannot replace is the Scatter Symbol. Wilds also only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
• Scatter Symbols: There are two Scatter Symbols in this game. The blue “Scatter 1” and the purple “Scatter 2”. Scatter 1 pays on any line, will pay for landing 3 symbols, and can go up to 5. Scatter 2 will pay out for landing 3 symbols only, and it only appears on reels 1, 3, and 5.\
• Stacked Symbols: Stacked Symbols can cover a reel partly or entirely. There are from 2 to 8 stacked symbols on the reels, increasing the chances of making combinations.
• Expanded Wild: There is a chance that a Wild Symbol that has landed will expand to cover the entire reel it has landed on. Winning combinations are assessed after the wilds have expanded.
• Gamble Round: Players can take additional risks to get extra winnings with the Gamble Round after a winning payout. After a win, the winnings can be gambled on an additional game. In the game, you select either the colour or the suit of a face-down card. The two options come with different odds; if you lose, you lose the round’s winnings.

BGaming has long been one of the best online slot game developers, and they still keep up with that reputation by bringing out new and exciting games at regular intervals. If you enjoy their game’s feel, you will also enjoy their other recent releases like Dice Bonanza, Beast Band, and Luck & Magic x999.

Spin Bet Combination Multipliers: All winning payout multipliers are conveniently displayed next to the reels. For a win, matching symbols must be combined on a winning payline 3, 4, or 5 times, except for the high-paying 7-symbol, which can also be combined 2 times for a win. When 5 symbols are combined, the payout multipliers will be 7-symbol (3,000x), 6 dice/5 dice (500x), 4 dice (200x), 3 dice/2 dice/1 dice/0 dice (100x).

• Lockdown Loot (Playtech Vikings)

 Lockdown Loot takes you into the criminal underground, where you will discover the life of the outlaws. The graphics, features, and design all add to the criminal theme to make the game immersive and enjoyable. The standard 5×5-reel layout has only 15 paylines with an RTP of 94.43% and a medium win variance. To aid players in their winnings, there are Free Spins, a Jail Break Feature, and a Free Spins Buy Feature. On top of that, there are also wild symbols and scatter symbols.

• Wild Symbol: The Wild Symbol will appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the base game spins. As an addition, they will also contain a multiplier value of either 1x, 2x, or 3x. The Wild Symbols will be used as a substitution symbol for any other symbols, excluding the Scatter Symbol.
• Scatter Symbol: Scatter Symbols are a Camera symbol, and when 3 or more of these appear anywhere on the reels, it will trigger the Free Spins Feature.
• Free Spins: Between 7 and 20 Free Spins will be awarded depending on how many Scatter symbols have landed (3 to 5). The Free Spins game has features like sticky wilds, creating wild symbols, and earning additional free spins.
• Jail Break Feature: During base spins, a frame might randomly appear around the symbol position on reel 5 and row 4. When a high-value character symbol lands on that location, the symbol will clone itself 6 to 12 times, with the clone spreading out over random positions on the reels.
• Buy Feature: The Buy Feature can be used to buy and trigger the Free Spins Feature manually. Once you click on the “Buy Feature” button, you can buy either 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols and the different buy amounts will be displayed.

Lockdown Loot is another perfect example of what Playtech Vikings studio offers in terms of high-quality video slots. They have been getting better and better over the years and have some excellent other titles like Fruity Showers and 1-Of-A-Kind.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Winning multipliers are awarded when 3 or more identical symbols land on one of the 15 fixed paylines. The maximum number of symbols that can be combined is 5. When this happens, the winning multipliers will be as follows: red background character (120x), brown background character (90x), green background character (75x), purple background character (60x), blue background character (45x), and soap/knuckles/cup/knife symbols (15x).

• Honey Rush 100 (Play’n Go)

Play’n Go maintains its high standard by giving its players another spectacular game, Honey Rish 100. The slot game has a less conventional grid layout that uses cluster mechanics to form winning combinations.

Wild Symbols are available along with great features like Sticky Wilds and Random Wilds. The main feature is the Rush Meter which has the chance of turning into the Overcharge Meter and can help players get to the 50,000x max multiplier.

• Rush Meter: The Rush Meter is displayed to the right of the game grid. It gets charged with each winning symbol and has multiple levels, offering different multipliers. Filling up one level will unlock the next level. When 90 symbols are collected, the Rush Meter will limit out and activate Overcharge mode. In this mode, every 15 symbols will upgrade to the middle symbols.
• Sticky Wilds: When Wild Symbols are in a winning cluster, they will become sticky and move down to the lowest available position. The Wild will stay in place until it is part of a winning cluster, after which it will fall out of the grid and into the honey pot, increasing the round multiplier by 1.
• Wild Symbols: Wild symbols will be used to substitute symbols for any other symbols. They can thus create or add on to winning clusters.
• Random Wilds: The Random Wilds Feature will be triggered randomly and add 2 to 4 Wild Symbols in random positions on the grid.

Play’n Go maintain a high standard with their slot game releases. Their graphics and designs are always at the top of the industry standards, and their features are fun and rewarding. For those who loved Honey Rush 100, check out Honey Rush, the original. You can also find Play n GO casino bonus offers to test out the software provider’s real money games using a combination of cash and bonus bets or through free spins bonus deals.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Winning payouts are triggered when 5 or more matching symbols appear in a cluster, anywhere on the grid. There can be up to 37 symbols in combination, and when this happens, awarded multipliers will be as follows: diamond (50x), golden coin (40x), silver coin (30x), bronze coin (20x), blue/white/pink/yellow flower symbols (10x).
