(Rated by the Casinoplusbonus team)

As new slots are released, several members of the Casinoplusbonus team play them and give ratings and opinions. The slots that achieve the highest ratings make it to our top 5, and someone on the team puts together a review for part of this weekly update. If you disagree with the top 5, let us know in the comments. Either way, the full list of new casino releases is at the end of this update, so you can check those out regardless.

Non-Slot Games? Most of the new releases this week (as they always are), were slots, but we can tell you Evolution launched a new live casino game. The latest in the ‘Lightning’ series, Lightning Dragon Tiger is a must-see release for anyone that loves live card games.

• Candy Blitz Bombs (Pragmatic Play)

If we’ve learned anything about Pragmatic Play over the years, the award-winning slot developer has quite the sweet tooth. From Sweet Bonanza to Sugar Rush, the provider has developed some of the most successful Candy-themed slots ever. Today, I’m reviewing Candy Blitz Bombs, the latest to come off the production line at Pragmatic Play.

When you power up this toothache-inducing slot, you’re met with a 6×5 grid layout that uses a scatter pays mechanic to form wins. Essentially, eight or more matching symbols anywhere in view will scoop you a payout.

Candy Blitz Bombs Features Explained

As you spin the reels of this high variance and 96.49% RTP slot offering a max win of 5,000x the stake, you’re likely to come across the following features:
Tumble Feature: Anyone who’s played many Pragmatic Play slots over the years will probably know all about the Tumble Feature. It’s cascading reels, meaning symbols in winning combinations are removed so that new ones can drop in from above.

• Progressive Multiplier: At the start of any spin, a win multiplier is reset to 1x the stake. However, for every successive winning combo created on a spin, the multiplier increases by 1x.
• Bomb Symbol: The Bomb symbol can appear anywhere on the reels and carries a random multiplier of between 3x and 500x added to that spin’s current multiplier value.
• Scatter Symbols: Landing three, four, or five scatter symbols anywhere in view will trigger 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively.
  Free Spins Bonus: The progressive multiplier will not reset between spins during the free spins bonus. It continues to increase as you land winning combinations throughout the bonus.
• Buy Bonus: To get into the free spins bonus instantly, you can use the Buy Bonus feature to purchase it outright for 100x your current stake.

Candy Blitz looks and plays similar to many other Candy slots from Pragmatic Play, but once again, it offers plenty of fun, lots of features, and good potential.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To trigger a win, you must land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere in view. The best payouts arrive from combinations featuring 12 or more symbols. What you’ll receive from the latter are: Heart Candy (3x), Triangle Candy (2x), Star Candy (1.5x), Hexagon Candy (1.2x), Square Candy (1x), Pink Candy (0.8x), Purple Candy (0.7x), Green Candy (0.5x), and Blue Candy (0.4x).

I was surprised when I first laid my eyes on this video slot, the Jackpots, features really make it up for the max win of 1,265x your stake. taking everything into consideration, it’s a very fun slot.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Besides the jackpots, you can also trigger a win by matching symbols from left to right on one of the 20 winning paylines. You need at least 3 for a payout and a maximum of 5. The highest possible multipliers are: Man (200x), woman (100x), shovel (50x), pick (37.5x), A (10x), K (9x), Q (7.5x), and J (6.5x).

• Jolly Queen (Endorphina)

The newest video slot from Endorphina is, surprisingly, a fruit slot with a twist. Jolly Queen’s release opens up with an exciting treasure feature, risk game, free spins, and a max win of 2,300x your stake. So we had to try it out.

Jolly Queen Features Explained

Let’s see what are the features of this jolly slot:

• Wild: The Joker turns into all other symbols except for the Scatter and Bonus symbols. It can appear on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reel, expanding vertically to make combinations.
• Free Games with The Wild Symbols Guaranteed to Appear: Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters on the reels triggers 10, 15, and 20 Free Spins, respectively. During the feature, you are guaranteed to get at least one Wild symbol for each spin.
• Bonus Symbol: It can appear on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th reel only.
• Royal Treasures Pick Game: You can trigger it (during both the main game and Free Spins) by landing 3 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. During this feature, you’ll have to pick one of the 3 chests that appear on the screen and can offer you a 10x, 30x, or 500x your stake.
• Risk Game: You can double your win or lose it by taking a chance against a dealer. You can also choose not to risk, in which case you can press Take Win and enjoy your award. If, however, you want to significantly boost your prize, you can make up to 10 attempts (if the dealer doesn’t win). The RTP for this feature is 84%.

It was melancholic, to say the least, to play a modern take on the classic fruit slot. Jolly Queen was an enjoyable slot with enough features to keep you entertained. The max win of 2,300x doesn’t hurt either, and the Royal Treasure Pick Game was my favorite feature by far. All in all, it was a pretty great addition to the Betsoft portfolio.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: To hit a win on Jolly Queen, you need at least 3 (maximum 5) matching symbols on one of the 50 fixed paylines. The exception to the rule is 7, which gives you a win with just 2 matching symbols on a payline. The biggest multipliers you can enjoy are: 7 (200x), grapes and watermelon (100x each), star scatter (50x), bell (8x), plum, orange, lemon, and cherries (2x each).

Sultan Spins (Relax Gaming)

I think we’d all like to enjoy the sort of wealth a Sultan has at his disposal, and while most of us never will, we can at least get a taste of what it must be like on Sultan Spins from Relax Gaming.

This is a 5×4 slot featuring 40-fixed paylines, 5 local jackpots, a 96.10% RTP, and a 5,000x maximum win. 

Sultan Spins Features Explained

The Sultan Spins slot has a few lucrative features, which I’ll explain below:

• Wild Symbol: This can land anywhere and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. 
• Fixed Local Jackpots: There are five jackpots above the reels, and each time a Gem symbol lands on the reel beneath one of them, that jackpot increases while you also receive one of three rewards. The Gem can transform into a standard symbol, turn into an expand wild, or give you a Jackpot Spin. That spin guarantees you win one of the following jackpots:
  • White Jackpot: Pays a minimum of 5x and a maximum of 25x.
  • Blue Jackpot: Pays a minimum of 10x and a maximum of 50x.
  • Green Jackpot: Pays a minimum of 50x and a maximum of 250x.
  • Purple Jackpot: Pays a minimum of 250x and a maximum of 1,250x.
  • Red Jackpot: Pays a minimum of 1,000x and a maximum of 5,000x.
• Free Spins: Three scatter symbols anywhere in view will award 7 free spins with a starting win multiplier of 1x. Each time you collect 5 bonus symbols, you’ll move to the next level, which gives you additional spins and an increased multiplier as follows: 
  • Level Two: 7 free spins with a 2x multiplier
  • Level Three: 7 free spins with a 4x multiplier
  • Level Four: 7 free spins with a 6x multiplier
  • Level Five: 7 free spins with an 8x multiplier

As you can see, Sultan Spins offers a good set of features, which could bring you some worthwhile payouts if you’re lucky enough. This title increases your potential the longer you play, as those jackpots continue to grow as you spin the reels. Of course, the free spins with multipliers of up to 8x also have the potential to send some sizable wins your way, too. 

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: As a payline slot, the aim is to line up three or more symbols across a winway from left to right. The top five-symbol combos pay: Wild (100x), Sultan (50x), Yacht (20x), Car (16x), Shoes (14x), Hookah (12x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack (2.5x).
