What popular sequel video slots can we expect for 2022? We look at Mega Moolah, Age of the Gods, Reactoonz, BetSoft Drops, and Gonzo! (image from betsoft.com)
It is sure to be yet another exciting year on the iGaming scene as 2022 ticks over and the slot developers get down to business as usual once again. New themes, new features, and who knows, maybe a new reel mechanic is in store for us. Over the years, we have had ways-to-win (no pay lines tech), cluster pays, Megaways, Infinity reels and more fresh ways to spin the reels introduced to stunning 3D animated slot titles. Could this year be the year for something new?
To kick-start 2022, many of the software providers like Microgaming, Playtech, Yggdrasil, NetEnt, and more are already giving us sneak peek into some of the new titles in the works. Of course, we want to share this information with you, so you know what’s coming.
Treasures of Krakatoa Mega Moolah
The Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network by Microgaming is one of the most popular out there. When you consider 2021 produced €108 million on average in jackpot wins from the Mega Moolah network alone, 2022 might just be the year it tips over the €1.5 billion in jackpot payouts milestone–just for reference, there is another Just another €500 million to go. And that milestone is going to be spurred on by the introduction of Treasures of Krakatoa Mega Moolah due any time in Q1 2022. It is a PearFiction studio production and so far, the mechanics of the slot are still under wraps.
Fishin Frenzy Spin Boost + Fishin’ Frenzy Fortune Spins + Fishin Frenzy Big Catch Megaways
Blueprint Gaming takes a fun fishing concept, adds it as a slot theme, and suddenly it becomes a fan favourite. Fishin Frenzy was the original and its success demanded a sequel, which came in the form of Fishin Frenzy Prize Lines. As the theme’s popularity continued to rise, Blueprint released Fishin Frenzy The Big Catch. In 2022, we are due for 3 more new releases into this collection. Fishin Frenzy Big Catch Megaways, Fishin Frenzy Spin Boost, and Fishin’ Frenzy Fortune Spins.
Gigantoonz
If you are familiar with Reactoonz and the sequel Reactoonz 2 created by BetSoft, you will already know what to expect from Gigantoonz. It will become the third in the series and it is another ‘Cluster Pays’ title. Features are not yet known, but we do know it will use an 8×8 grid system giving you 64 positions to piece together cluster wins, and as with most cluster pay slot titles, we are pretty sure it will come with a cascading symbol feature as with its 2 predecessors. Just for clarity, the original Reactoonz and Reactoonz 2 slot titles came with 7×7 grids, so it looks like Gigantoonz is going to be a slightly larger version.
Triple Juicy Drops
BetSoft is to continue its ‘Drops’ cluster pays slot series with Triple Juicy Drops. This slot will have a feature that means you can win by forming clusters of 3 or more horizontally and/or vertically. This is effectively the sequel to BetSoft’s Wild Drops slot, which is the start of a series of Drop Cluster Pays slots. What makes this slot even more exciting is its extra Mini, Super, and Mega spin features. Collect 5, 15, or 25 winning symbols per 20 spins for 500x, 2,000x, and/or 20,000x multipliers.
Age of the Gods Maze Keeper
Perhaps the biggest progressive jackpot network out there. Actually, Playtech was one of the first software providers to pool jackpot slots. As the developer got in early with its Age of the Gods network, it is now the largest in online casinos today. There are over 20 Age of the Gods titles, including an Age of the Gods Live roulette table. Now there’s another newcomer just around the corner, which is Age of the Gods Maze Keeper. As with most new slot titles, the ins and outs of what to expect are still under wraps.
Gonzo’s Quest VR
Every NetEnt and Red Tiger Gaming fans’ favourite adventurer is coming back to the reels, but this time in virtual reality form. The original Gonzo’s Quest is NetEnt, and the same software provider will bring the VR version to online casinos in 2022. This will in fact be the second Gonzo Aztec adventurer themed casino game to convert to VR. Gonzo is already available in virtual reality form via Evolution’s live Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt title.
