6 New Casino Releases in 2025 to Date

We were expecting as such due to the time of year, but there have not been many new casino game releases in the past week. There are just 6 to tell you about, as even the software providers deserve some time off over the New Year.

The question is, will 2025 deliver as many new releases as the 1,389 we counted in 2024? We’re confident that number will get beaten by the end of the year!

What’s in this week’s update?

We’ll start by providing short reviews of our favourite 5 slots released last week. Then, at the end of the report, we’ll do what we usually do and give you the full list of releases.

Top 5 Slots 31 December to 06 January

(Rated by the Casinoplusbonus EN team)

Admittedly, choosing a top 5 this week did not prove as difficult as usual, considering there were just 6 new releases.

That said, we still had to decide which slot release missed out. The team has universally agreed that the top 5 are Midnight Gold (Play’n Go), Hawaii Riches Bonus Bank (3 Oaks Gaming), Pantera Rica (Tom Horn Gaming), Egyptian Marvel (Spinomenal), and 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win (Booming Games).

Next, we’ll provide mini-reviews of those 5 new slots that detail their bonus features and explain their core details.

Don’t forget, you can test out these games for free. Just check out our slot demo page here at Casinoplusbonus.

Midnight Gold (Play’n Go)

One of the first slot developers to quickly get back down to business in 2025 is Play’n Go. The studio released Midnight Gold, its first new slot of the year on the 2nd of January. The slot offers a 20,000x the stake maximum win and a bunch of exciting bonus features.

Midnight Gold Features Explained

  • Wild Symbol: Can appear on all reels and substitutes for all regular symbols when winning combinations are possible.
  • Deliver Feature: The slot features a Money Collect feature. Cash Bag and Treasure Chest symbols hold instant prize values, and they’re collected and paid whenever a Deliver symbol lands on the rightmost reel on the same spin.
    • Cash Bag Symbols: Can appear on any reel and hold cash values of between 2x and 15x the stake.
    • Treasure Chest Symbols: Can appear only on the leftmost reel and hold instant cash prizes of between 25x and 250x the stake.
  • Second Chance Re-spin: Whenever a Treasure Chest lands on the leftmost reel, but the Deliver symbol does not appear on the rightmost reel, the latter is given a second chance re-spin.
  • Mystery Instant Wins: If two scatter symbols land on the reels, there is a chance of a Mystery Win. One or more of those scatters could reveal instant prizes of between 5x and 20x the stake.
  • Free Spins Bonus Games: There are two free spins bonus rounds. You can choose between them when scatter symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5 on the same spin. Those bonus games are:
    • Stacked Wild Free Spins: All Wild Symbols that land award an additional free spin and expand to fill their reels.
    • Roaming Wild Free Spins: All Wild Symbols that land award an additional free spin and move one position for the next spin.
  • Wild Multiplier: Triggered randomly on any free spin, a multiplier value can be applied to Wild Symbol wins.
  • Super Free Spins Bonus: If one of the triggering scatter symbols was Gold in colour, the Super Free Spins Bonus triggers. You choose a bonus game again, but this time, every free spin is guaranteed to land a Wild Multiplier.

Play’n Go has certainly kicked off the New Year as it means to go on. Midnight Gold is a cracking new slot that you can check out via the Midnight Gold slot demo here.

Hawaii Riches Bonus Bank (3 Oaks Gaming)

We predict a big year for 3 Oaks Gaming, and they’ve certainly started with a bang via the release of Hawaii Riches Bonus Bank.

Hawaii Riches Bonus Bank Features Explained

The Bonus Bank is the standout feature on this latest slot from the prolific team at 3 Oaks Gaming, but it’s also nice to see a tropical theme after witnessing a recent deluge of winter/Christmas slots.

    • Guess the colour of the next star, and your winnings are doubled. If you guess wrong, you lose all your winnings.
    • You can collect after a win or choose to play at your own risk.
    • You can double your winnings up to a maximum of five times.

Tom Horn Gaming has delivered a great-looking slot that can be played on mobile devices, desktops, or laptop computers.

Spinomenal is another of the studios that have brought a new release in the past week, and as you’ll see, it’s definitely worth its place among our top 5. The slot has a 5×4 playing grid featuring 50 fixed paylines, and 4 free spins bonus games you can unlock as you go along.

    • Winning Symbols Re-Spin: A re-spin occurs each time a winning combination is created. If that combination improves, another re-spin takes place.
    • Extra Wilds: An additional 3-5 wild symbols are added to the reels on every free spin.

    • Stacked Wilds Re-Spin: You receive a re-spin whenever a stacked wild symbol lands fully on a reel.
  • Buy Bonus Feature: You can purchase 12 free spins outright for 36x the current stake.
