Top Five Slots & Pokies 20 to 26 May 2025
(Rated by the Casinoplusbonus EN team)
So, which are the slots we’ve labelled as the best new releases from the previous week? Well, it wasn’t easy as it never is. However, we’ve gone for Olympus Trueways™ by BGaming, Dragonfate’s Favor from Play’n Go, Gates of Hades by Pragmatic Play, Pray for Three from Hacksaw Gaming, and Yggdrasil’s Duck the Farmer.
Olympus Truways Slot (BGaming)
BGaming has joined the barrage of online slot developers that have taken to producing slots and pokies with a mythical Greek Gods theme. And the name is popular with other brands like BetSoft and Pragmatic Play – Olympus, the dwelling place of the Twelve Olympian gods from ancient Greek religion.
The new BGaming 6-reel Trueways game offers up to 262,144 ways to win. Also, as per the stats on the BGaming Olympus Trueways webpage, it has a hit rate of 4.33, a free spins bonus hit rate that averages every 229.47, very high volatile gameplay, and a reasonable theoretical RTP of 96.7%. There are wilds, a buy bonus option, jackpots, free spins, and a coin respin feature, all leading you to a possible 5,000x multiplier.
Olympus Truways Features Explained
- Trueways: BGaming’s TrueWays slots use a dynamic reel system where each of the 6 reels can display 2 to 8 symbols, allowing up to 262,144 ways to win. The number of ways changes every spin, depending on how many symbol positions appear on each reel.
- Wild (FS Multiplier): In the base game, Zeus is the wild symbol and is available on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. During the free spins game, the same wild symbols come with a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier when they substitute for other symbols.
- Scatter Multipleir & FS Trigger: The scatter is Zeus holding his thunderbolt. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 anywhere in view for a 2x, 5x, 10x, or 20x multiplier paid instantly. Furthermore, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will trigger 12, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.
- Additional Free Spins: Scatters are available during the free spins feature. 3, 4, 5, or 6 landing on the reels will add an additional 5, 12, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.
- Bonus Buy: There are two bonus buy options. You can choose to buy Free Spins or the Coin Respin with jackpots. Both options will cost 100x your spin bet. We were not overly impressed when testing the free spins bonus buy. Out of 5 tries, we could never reach more than 100x. We also rarely won more than 100x playing the Coin Respin bonus buy, but the end result was always closer to 100x versus the Free Spins bonus buy.
- Coin Respin: The coin Respin round is triggered by 6 or more gold coins landing anywhere on the reels. These coins come with values worth between 1x and 100x. When the bonus kicks off, you have 3 respins. Each new coin that lands on the reels will reset the count to 3 respins. If a lightning symbol lands on the reels, it increases the number of positions available to land gold coins.
- Jackpots: During the Coin Respin feature, there are Mini (20x), Major (100x), and Mega (1,000x) jackpots. Mini or Major can land on the reels in the same ways as coin symbols. To win the Mega jackpot, all positions on the reels will need to be filled with symbols.
The team here at Casinoplusbonus love a Greek-themed slot/pokie game, especially when it’s set in the clouds of Olympus! BGaming has created a slot packed with features and using the unique TrueWays reel mechanic, which is essentially a step up from Megaways. We love the fact that there are two bonus games; however, the very high volatility may put some players off, as there’s not much happening in the base game. With that said, low stakes are available at 0.10 per spin!
6+ symbol combination win spin bet multipliers
Crown (5x) | Godly Helmet (3x) |
Axe (2x) | Medussa Gold Coin (1x) |
Purple Gem (0.5x) | Red Gem (0.5x) |
Blue Gem (0.5x) | Yellow Gem (0.5x) |
Landing 3 or more symbols triggers a win. The first symbol must start on reel 1, and the following symbol must run in any position on consecutive adjacent reels running left to right. For example, a 4-symbol win would need the same symbol on reels 1-2-3-4.

Gates of Hades Slot (Pragmatic Play)
If you are looking for action, the Gates of Hades online pokie and video slot game is it! Cascades via Tumbling Reels bring constant multipliers in the base and free spins games, while you get several shots at landing cluster wins from a single win spin.
The gameplay comes with a large 6×6 grid to land clusters and the chance to land free spins via scatters or buy your way into one of two free spins bonuses. As for the theoretical RTP, you are looking at 96.52% for the base gameplay and high-volatility spins.
Gates of Hades Features Explained
- Tumbling Reels: Each time you land a cluster win combination, the winning symbols explode, leaving blank spaces. Symbols above cascade to fill the empty spaces. If the cascade produces new wins, you get paid, and further cascades will trigger. Tumbling reels end when no new clusters form.
- Wild Symbol: The wild can create cluster combinations and is also a wild card for any other symbol, except the scatter.
- Free Spins Wild Multiplier Reel: The free spins multiplier reel is available in the base game and free spins bonus. Each time a wild lands on the reels, it will be added to the 7th horizontal row at the top of the reels. Any new cluster wins with a multiplier on the row that matches the reel will apply the multiplier to your win by 1x up to 100x. In the base game, the multipliers will reset; however, during free spins, the multipliers do not reset and instead build up throughout the bonus round.
- Free Spins: 3, 4, 5, or 6 Hades scatters landing anywhere on the grid will trigger 10, 12, 15, or 20 free spins. If you are lucky enough to land 6 scatters, the bonus game will use Super Free Spins.
- Super Free Spins: During Super Free Spins, the minimum multiplier added to the multiplier row is 10x. If you hit 6 scatters and trigger this bonus, expect wins of 100x up to 500x your spin bet on average. We got these figures by testing the Super Free Spins Buy Bonus.
- Additional Free Spins: 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will retrigger 5, 7, 10 or 12 additional spins.
- Bonus Buy: You can buy free spins for 100x your spin bet or trigger Super Free Spins for 500x your bet.
It’s great to see multipliers and tumbling reels that span across the base game and free spins bonus round. It makes both parts of the slot and pokie gameplay more interesting, while inevitably increasing your chances of winning. We found the gameplay easy to understand, and we were familiar with all the features within a few test spins and a couple of blasts on the free play version’s buy bonus options.
15 to 36 Cluster Win Spin Bet Multipliers
Crown (150x) | Ring (120x) |
Goblet (60x) | Red Gem (45x) |
Purple Gem (12x) | Orange Gem (10x) |

Dick the Farmer Slot (Yggdrasil)
An excellent online slot and pokie game for players looking for low-cost spin bets at 0.10 per spin. Also, if you are looking for an upbeat US-style or Irish-style farmer theme with a funky Irish western theme tune, you won’t be able to stop nodding your head to the theme tune!
You’ll be spinning the reels on a 6×4 grid with 4,096 ways to win and triggering features in the base game and free spins bonus.
Dick the Farmer Features Explained
- Dick the Farmer Wild Symbol: Dick the Farmer himself is a wild card symbol subbing in for any of the other regular symbols. He is also the slot’s highest paying symbol combination win paying 2.5x, 3.5x, 5x, or 10x your spin bet when you land 3, 4, 5, or 6 symbols from left-to-right.
- Synced Reels: 2 to 6 reels can sync with the same symbols stacked on each one, helping you land combination wins. The feature is available in the base game and is permanently on during the free spins bonus.
- Corny Respins with Synched Reels: Another random feature available in the base game and free spins is the respins. You’ll be given a single respin with 1 sync reeled guaranteed. During free spins, each time a green melon lands, the respin with a synced reel will trigger, plus award an extra free spin. Furthermore, the synced reel will remain for the remainder of the free spins bonus.
- Harder Multipliers: More randomness! That’ right, the multiplier is also triggered at random during the base game. The multiplier can be worth 2x or more to an unlimited number. Multipliers can also trigger during the Corny Respins feature, and during free spins, a permanent +1 multiplier is added each time you land a yellow melon symbol.
- Free Spins: Roll in the free spins water melons scatter 3, 4, 5, or 6 times to trigger 8, 12, 16, or 20 free spins.
- Jackpot Wheel: When regular symbols hit the reels and they have a water drop icon on them, they are collected. Once you have 4000 of them, the Jackpot Wheel will trigger, giving a shot at winning a spin bet multiplier worth 15x, 40x, 100x, or 2,000x! Also, don’t worry if you close the game down, you can always return, and your water drop collection progress will be saved.
- Bonus Buy: A bonus purchase worth 75x, 150x, 250x, or 350x your spin bet will trigger 8 to 20 free spins.
We love the fact that there are so many base game features, which makes a change from having to wait to trigger a bonus feature before any action starts on the reels. On top of this, the free spins bonus is also full of action, taking the base game features over to the bonus spins round. On top of all this, you can trigger the Jackpot Wheel on any spin as long as you have collected enough water icons.
6-Symbol Combination Spin Bet Multipliers
Dick the Farmer (10x) | Chicken (5x) |
Cat (4x) | Cow (3x) |
Pig (2.5x) | Eggplant (1x) |
Peach (0.9x) | Corn Cob (0.8x) |
Cherry (0.7x) | Cabbage (0.6x) |
symbols can land in any position on their respective reels to become part of a combination. However, the first in the combination must start on reel 1, and subsequent symbols need to be on adjacent reels. For example, a 3-symbol win or 4-symbol win will have the same symbol on reels 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4, respectivly.

Dragonfate’s Favor Slot (Play’n GO)
Dragon-themed online slot starring Goldar and three hatchling dragons. Your mission is to land big wins while helping the fiery dragon family, who once shared the lands with humankind, rediscover the vanished pathway to their powerful, long-lost homeland where Goldar can rekindle lost powers.
The game is set on 6×4 reels with 4,096 ways to win. Features combined include free spins with the choice of three bonus spins games, stacked wilds and wild multipliers, re-spins, and scatter multipliers that can earn you a huge max win worth 30,000x your spin bet.
Dragonfate’s Favor Features Explained
- Stacked Goldor Wild: Goldor is a wild symbol stacked 4 high on the reels and substitutes for any of the regular symbols.
- Wild Multipliers: There are single dragon hatchling symbols that are also wilds that substitute for regular symbols. These wilds can also come with a 2x or 3x multiplier applied to any combination wins the wild becomes a part of.
- Goldar Respins with Sticky and Walking Wilds: If you land the stacked Goldar wild symbol on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 and the dragon covers all 4 positions, you’ll trigger 1 respin. Goldar will subsequently walk across the reels from right to left, retriggering respins until eventually dropping off reel 2. Therefore, the best place you can trigger the respins is on reel 6 to get the maximum 5 respins out of the walking wild. Furthermore, any hatchling wilds that appear will remain sticky on the reels for each respin.
- Scatter Multiplier: Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters to trigger 5x, 10x, 25x, or 100x your spin bet.
- Free Spins: Scatters also trigger free spins, where you get to choose from 3 free spins bonuses. In regard to the number of spins you get with each round depends on the number of scatters you land.
- Alpha Blessing: The stacked Goldar wild remains permanently on the reels in this bonus. To trigger it, you will need 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters will give you 8, 12, 16, or 20 spins. Land 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters, and the game will give you an additional 6, 9, 1,2, or 15 free spins.
- Hatchling Reward: During this bonus, Hatchling wilds come with multipliers worth 3x or 3x. 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters will give you 7, 9, 11, or 13 spins. Also, 6, 9, 12, or 15 additional free spins are triggered when you land 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, respectively.
- Dragon’s Gift: For this bonus spins round, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters trigger 5, 7, 9, or 11 spins, while retriggers come via 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding 2, 3, 4, or 5 free spins. As for the main feature in this bonus spins round, it is all wilds are sticky and they can walk in any direction, jumping from reel to reel.
- Free Spins Retrigger: During the free spins bonus, if you land 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters, the game will award you with an additional 6, 9, 12, or 15 free spins.
Overall, the payout symbols seem a bit low, but with the number of combination wins you’ll pick up during the base game, and especially the free spins bonus, they soon add together to bring you some sizeable wins. As for the gameplay, we love the fact that the game is packed with wild features, with stacked, walking, multiplier, and sticky wilds all combining to help you land symbol combination wins.
6-Symbol Combination Spin Bet Multipliers
Hatchling Wilds (6x) | Red Dragon (6x) |
Blue Dragon (4x) | Green Dragon (4x) |

Pray For Three (Hacksaw Gaming)
Hacksaw Gaming likes to go to the dark side as the theme for some of their slots, and there’s no messing around when they do. Pray For Three is another that is best played with the light on. When playing, we noticed similarities with a few of their past releases, like SixSixSix, such as the use of black and white design elements to enhance the spooky tone. Anyhow, let’s jump into this short review.
Pray for Three Features Explained
- Wheel of Sin: Located outside of the reels, the Wheel of Sin is activated whenever a Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand lands on the reels. The former activates up to three sections of the wheel, while the latter activates all of them. The sections can contain:
- Adding multipliers of between 2x and 333x.
-
- Multiplying multipliers of 2x to 33x.
-
- The third section only contains multiplying multipliers of between 2x and 33x.
At the end of the spin, the multiplier values are combined or multiplied together before they’re applied to the spin’s total win.
- Wicked Ways Bonus Game: You receive 10 free spins when three FS symbols land anywhere in view. The spins play out the same as base game spins, except there’s a greater chance for the prayer or Divine Prayer hands to land. Additionally, you will receive 2 or 4 extra spins whenever 2 or 3 FS symbols land, respectively.
- Living on a Prayer Bonus Game: You receive 10 free spins if four FS symbols land anywhere in view. This time, there is a greater chance to land Divine Prayer Hands, and there are no regular Prayer Hands.
- Flames of Fortune Bonus Game: Five FS symbols get you 10 free spins with more wild symbols and a guarantee that a Divine Prayer Hand triggers on every spin.
- Bonus Buy: Hacksaw Gaming’s BonusHunt options return. This time, you can choose from:
-
- FeatureSpins: For 3x the current spin bet, you have 5 times the chance to trigger a bonus.
-
- Hail Mary FeatureSpins: For 50x, a Prayer Hand or Divine Prayer Hand is guaranteed to land on the spins.
-
- Buying the Bonus: Wicked Ways free spins cost 100x, while Living on a Prayer will set you back 225x the current stake.
Cascades, multipliers, and three bonus games. What’s not to like? While Pray For Three is not up there with some previous Hacksaw Gaming releases, it’s definitely one we feel is worth checking out!
5-Symbol Combination Spin Bet Multipliers
Wild Symbol (5x) | Crow (0.6x) |
Crying Girl (4x) | Goblet (0.4x) |
Girl (1x) | Gravestone/Timer/Whip/Ornament/Nails (0.3x) |
