Week 14 2022 (April) New Casino Games Report – Kicking Off April With 24 New Casino Games!

Our Week 14 New Casino Games Report covers 24 new games from the last 7 days, plus we take a look at next week’s releases! (Image from casinoplusbonus.com)

Ready for yet another full week’s worth of new online casino content to load up on your laptop, desktop, smartphone, or tablet? We have yet another action-packed, theme-tastic, featureful, and lucrative list of new casino games that are ready and waiting for you at your favourite online casinos!

Between them, the software developer average well over 20 new titles each week and once again, that number has beaten as they released 24 new casino games between the 29th of March and the 4th of April.

With Easter fast approaching, you will find a few slots released especially for the occasion, such as Wazdan’s superb Magic Eggs, a slot we reviewed during the week. This 3×3, 5-payline slot title takes you on an Easter egg hunt of epic proportions. The slot features beautifully designed Easter eggs as symbols that you have to match to form winning combinations. Doing so pays well, but it is when the Easter Bunny special symbol comes along that the payouts go to a whole new level!

On Saturday, we reviewed another early anticipated slot, this time from Play’n GO. This slot developer loves its rock music, as you can tell from previous releases such as Alice Cooper and the Tome of Madness and Kiss: Reels of Rock and this latest title is further evidence of this. In Def Leppard: Hysteria, you follow one of rock’s most legendary bans as you enjoy features including a cluster pays mechanic, cascading symbols, wild multipliers, symbol collects, re-spins, and more!

Plus, Relax Gaming has released a Megapays sequel to the Great Pigsby, and a farm-themed slot from Pragmatic Play called Barn Festival. That’s just for starters too, as there are also titles that have come out of the studios of leading brands, including the 2021 IGA Slot Developer of the Year, Yggdrasil, Gamomat, BF Games, Habanero, Relax Gaming, Push Gaming, Fantasma, Red Rake Gaming, and more!

If you’re a regular reader of this report, you should know how it works by now. To go on top of the 2 video slots we reviewed upon their release during the week, we will bring you 7 mini-reviews of some other fantastic new titles before wrapping up with the full list of new releases at the end of the report.

Recap Last Report: Before you dive in to the 24 new titles launched int he past week, you might want to catch up last week’s new games. It was arguably one of the best weeks we have seen in terms of the quality of the games released. We had Vikings Go To Valhalla, another follow up to one of the best slot games of all time, Eye of Atum from Play’n GO, and the superb Narcos Mexico from Red Tiger Gaming. Those are just a handful of the 26 new casino games launched in the week prior to this one!

7 Mini-Reviews Plucked Fresh and Ready for our Week 14 New Casino Games Report

The two new video slots we reviewed during the week will keep you entertained for sure, but that does not mean you should ignore what else has hit the shelves in the past week. This is especially the case when we have a new Megaways title from Storm Gaming/Relax Gaming, a warrior-themed slot from Hacksaw Gaming, some pirate fun from iSoftBet, and the usual weekly slot from 2021 SBC Slot Provider of the Year, Pragmatic Play to look forward to!
