Our Week 23 2022 (June) new casino games report will bring you up to speed with another 20 new titles that you can play at the online casinos! (Image from casinoplusbonus.com)

So far in 2022, there have been well over 400 new casino games released to date, and in our Week 23 2022 New Casino Games Report, we have another 20 to bring to your attention. While that is not quite as many as we have seen in recent weeks, the quality of these new titles is up there with the very best. Some of the biggest names in the iGaming industry have used their expertise and talent to develop new titles that are pleasing to the eye, hugely engaging, and full of entertaining gameplay.

The new titles that we will look at in this report have all been released between the dates of May 31 and June 6 and have come from leading developers including Red Tiger Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Inspired Gaming, AvatarUX, and Tom Horn Gaming. While the majority of the titles are superb new video slots, we can also tell you of a new live casino game from Pragmatic Play Live. Called Live Speed Blackjack, that title is a sped-up version of blackjack that is delivered in high definition and hosted by a fully trained live dealer.

In this review, we will give you a full breakdown of the titles released in the last week, provide you with half a dozen mini-reviews of some of the best of those titles, and round up the full list right at the end. Although not counted for last week as it is set for release in a couple of days, we already gave you a review of Wazdan’s Sizzling Eggs™, an epic new title that features the innovative Collect to Infinity™ mechanic. You can collect eggs and add value to them so that you have a big start when triggering the free spins round. That title also has a unique gamble feature and you can buy directly into the free spins for a multiplier of your original stake.

As for what is coming up this week, we are planning to review another new title that will soon hit the online casinos. That is Big Atlantis Frenzy from one of our favourite developers, BGaming. Aside from our regular daily news, we also have the weekly progressive jackpot report coming that will keep you up to date with the status of the biggest and best progressive jackpot slots and networks.

Right, with all that now said, it is time to get started on this weekly new casino games report. We will start with 6 mini-reviews of some epic new slots that now feature at the online casinos.

Recap Last Report: If you missed our weekly report last week, you can check it out here. There were some great new releases, including Wazdan’s 9 Burning Dragons, and the hugely anticipated Azticons Chaos Clusters from Quickspin. It was also one of the busiest weeks of the year, as there were 32 new releases in total.

Week 23 2022 New Casino Games – 6 Mini Reviews of Some Epic New Titles

Right, to kick things off, why not check out the following 6 mini-reviews? Among the best new titles launched last week, these are our first recommendations to play out of the 20 new titles that were released. You can expect a variety of themes, some innovative bonus features, and reel mechanics including paylines and ways-to-win.

Big Benji Bonanza (Jelly/Yggdrasil)

Released via the Yggdrasil GATI platform, Jelly has released its latest title, Big Benji Bonanza. This 243 ways to win video slot offers a Wall Street theme that is all about money, literally. The reels contain money symbols featuring the different presidents of the past 100 years and your typical classic fruits, red 7s and playing cards.

With a 95.5% RTP and a medium to high variance, this slot will appeal because of a couple of interesting and lucrative features. These are a Money Collect system that rewards you with multipliers up to 100x in the base game and up to a lot more in the free spins round. As for that free spins round, you will encounter the excellent Super Staxx™ mechanic, which when combined with the Money Collect feature can lead to some big value wins.

You will trigger that free spins round by landing 3 or more bonus symbols; the more you land, the more your benefits increase. For instance, 5 bonus symbols give you 10 free spins with the two lowest money symbols removed from the reels. Plus, in return for 100x your stake, you can buy that bonus feature outright!

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on consecutive reels form left to right to earn the following win combination multipliers: Big Benji symbol (0.50x, 1x, 5x,), Red 7 symbol (1.5x, 2.5x, 7.5x), Jewel symbol (0.75x, 1.25x, 3.75x), Bell symbol (0.50x, 1x, 3x), Cherries symbol (0.40x, 0.90x, 2.5x), Ace/King symbols (0.25x, 0.60x, 1.5x), Queen/Jack/Ten symbols (0.20x, 0.50x, 1x).

Cherry Pop Deluxe (Avatar UX Studios)

We are used to seeing Avatar UX titles released via the Yggdrasil Masters platform, which has titles including PopWin™ titles such as MonkeyPop™, Lollipop™, PiggyPop™, and more. However, this time AvatarUX has released its CherryPop™ sequel title CherryPop Deluxe directly from its studio. However, we may see it also appear on the Yggdrasil platform at a later date.

In yet another ‘Popwins’ title, the colours and cartoon style theme we are accustomed to are here along with 486-ways-to-win over 5×3 reels that expand. In the slot’s exciting action-packed gameplay, you’ll be landing free spins for big wins and multipliers as well as popping symbols that will expand the reels.

If you land the free spins bonus, there are 3 levels with 5 to 8 (level 1), 8 to 10 (level 2), and 10 to 12 (level 3) free spins awarded. On top of this, the free spins bonus begins with a 2x multiplier and every Popwin will increase the multiplier by x1.

Diamond Royale (Red Tiger)

Red Tiger Gaming, the winner of the ‘Innovation in Slot Provision’ at the 2021 EGR B2B Awards, has this week released its latest title. Simple in design and theme, the leading developer has fused classic elements with a highly lucrative free spin round and wild and global multipliers. Carrying a 95.75% RTP and high variance, this 5-reel, 10 payline video slot this title offers the chance for big wins in both the base game and bonus round.

As you spin the reels, Wild symbols can land to help create winning combinations while also applying a wild multiplier value of 2x, 3x, or 5x that locks into place for the next spin. If you land multiplier wild symbols, they combine to form a Global multiplier that applies to all wins on that spin and the next. In fact, that global multiplier will stay in place and continue to grow with each spin that lands a win. The global multiplier only resets on a spin where no wins occur.

In the free spins mode, it takes those wild and global multipliers another step forward. Called Double Wild’s, these symbols will double the Global multiplier. Plus, in free spins mode, the global multiplier does not reset until all spins have been used. To unlock the free spins, you need to land 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols to receive, 9, 12, or 15 free spins respectively.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right to earn the following win combination multipliers of your line bet (total bet divided by 10 paylines): Red 7s (20x, 50x, 200x,), Bells (10x, 25x, 150x), Stars (8x, 20x, 120x), Four-Leaf Clover (6x, 18x, 100x), Ace (3x, 15x, 80x), King (2x, 12x, 60x), Queen (2x, 10x, 40x), Jack (1x, 8x, 30x), 10 (1x, 5x, 20x)

Wild Trigger (Play’n GO)

Fans of the Old West have a brand-new cowboy-themed video slot to go in all guns blazing in search of big rewards. Released on 2 June, Play’n GO launches slot fans into the story of legendary bandits Clint McGraw and Dottie Fields.

Together these cunning thieves mastered one of the largest hauls in the history of all Wild West bank robberies, but there’s a twist, and it goes something along the lines of ‘there is no honour among thieves’. Now they have the loot they don’t want to share, which leads to a showdown on the reels in a gunfight that will see only one of them walk away wealthy and victorious.

Spin your way into the action where wild reels stacked in sets of 4 symbols wander reels 1 and 5. Landing either of these stacks will give you reels full of wilds as well as trigger a ‘Walkdown Re-spin’ with a ‘Pay Both Ways’ feature. Land both stacks and you’ll have 10 ‘Duel Free Spins’. When this bonus kicks in, combinations start flying in like bullets thanks to the stacked wilds remaining sticky when they land, and Duel Free Spins will active the ‘Pay Both Ways’ feature.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: There are 10 regular symbols that pay for combinations of 3, 4, or 5 on a pay line. Bag of Loot (5x, 10x, 50x), Dynamite (2.5x, 5x, 25x), Pistols (2x, 4x, 20x), Cowboy Hat & Boots (1.5x, 3x, 15x), Whiskey (1x, 2.5x, 12.5x), A or K symbols (0.5x, 1.5x, 7.5x), Q, J, or 10 symbols (0.5x, 1x, 5x).

Zombie Carnival™ (Pragmatic Play)

Imagine a zombie outbreak at a circus and you will get what you will see in Pragmatic Play’s latest slot release, Zombie Carnival™. The outbreak has caused carnage at the festival and thus you have to make your way through zombified clowns, ringleaders, and even animals to land your payouts. Fortunately, with a 4,096 ways to win reel mechanic used on a 4-row, 6-reel grid and a free spins round featuring roaming wilds, landing big payouts is not as difficult as it may sound.

While the theme sounds like it may not suit the squeamish, the developer has gone with some light-hearted cartoon-style graphics so that you do not have to worry about blood, brains, and severed limbs. As for the sound effects, these do set the creepy tone and can be turned off if preferred.

In the base game, Mystery symbols turn into random paying symbols at the end of each spin. However, it is the free spins round that you will want to trigger. Landing two or more ‘Brain’ scatter symbols triggers 6 free spins of the reels. That may not sound like a lot, but each new scatter symbol that lands during the round will increase your spins by 1. Plus, those triggering scatters transform into roaming wilds that consume the new scatter symbols to increase that wild’s multiplier value by 1x. As these multipliers increase, so do your chances for some epic wins. The addition of a Buy Free Spins feature also enables you to skip to the chase instantly for a cost of 80x your stake.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Line up 3, 4, 5, or 6 alike symbols from left to right on a pay line to trigger a combination win. Green Zombie (1x, 2x, 3x, 5x), Turquoise Zombie (0.60x, 1x, 1.5x, 3x), Blue Zombie (0.50x, 0.80x, 1.2x, 2x), Purple Zombie (0.40x, 0.60x, 1x, 1.5x), Ace/King/Queen/Jack (0.20x, 0.30x, 0.50x, 0.70x).
