While we have now entered a new month, June has to go down as one of the best in terms of the quantity and quality of new casino games that were released. We have had a new Cat Wilde slot, the latest in the Big Bass series, and a new Mega Moolah title, among many other great new games.

In the last week, we also got to play some fabulous new releases, and that is what you will learn about in this Week 27 New Casino Games Report. It will cover the new casino games released between the 28th of June and the 4th of July. In total, 20 new titles were released. That includes video slots, jackpot slots, a live casino game, and even a new scratchcard. These have come courtesy of major iGaming brands, including NetEnt, Play’n GO, Betsoft, Yggdrasil, Evolution, and Pragmatic Play.

In this report, we will give you 5 mini-reviews of our top 5 games, while you will also find a full breakdown of each new title released at the end.

During the week, we already brought you two full reviews of two of the biggest new titles to hit the online casinos and you can learn more about these below. Plus, we have also provided mini-reviews of both a bit later in this report.

NetEnt Releases the Long-Awaited Sequel to Space Wars

Fresh off jointly winning the EGR B2B 2022 ‘Slot Supplier of the Year’ award alongside Red Tiger Gaming, NetEnt showed us why such awards are deserved via the release of Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™. Although a sequel to Space Wars, this new title is a completely new slot that uses cluster pays, the avalanche mechanic, and the innovative Powerpoints feature. On each spin, you earn Powerpoints for each winning combination and these build up so that you can pass multiplier milestones above the reels. Each combination also reveals a bonus symbol, and it is these that really generate the fun on this title. You have zappers, blasters, and bombs that clear symbols and give you their points.

Cash ‘N Riches WowPot Megaways™ became the Latest WowPot Progressive Jackpot Slot!

While you might not need another excuse to try your luck on winning the WowPot jackpot which currently sits at close to £13 million, playing the new Cash ‘N Riches WowPot Megaways™ gives you one. This epic new title not only gives you the chance at winning one of the four progressive jackpots on the WowPot network but also gives you up to 117, 649 ways to win, a lucrative Rolling Reels feature, multipliers, and free spins to look forward to.

Top 5 Video Slot Releases – [July] 2022 / Week [27]

Okay, so let us kick things off! Below you can check out mini reviews of what we feel are the best new releases of the past week. There is something for everyone in this list including fans of 90s boy bands (just admit it!).

Cash ‘N Riches WowPot Megaways™ (Triple Edge Studios / Microgaming)

There can never be enough progressive jackpot slots in our opinion and none come much bigger than those on the WowPot progressive jackpot network. We already gave a full review to Cash ‘N Riches WowPot Megaways™ but thought we would give those that missed that, to get a quick idea of what to expect on the latest release from Triple Edge Studios and Microgaming.

Well, if you have played Cash ‘N Riches Megaways™, an earlier 2022 release from Triple Edge Games, you will realise that this sequel is essentially the same game but with the addition of the four WowPot progressive jackpots. The rest such as an extra reel, rolling reels, multipliers, free spins, and up to 117,649 ways to win are still present.

This is 6 reel slot that uses the Megaways mechanic to deliver those paylines. It has an extra horizontal reel above the reels that could hold the wild symbols used to complete emphatic winning combinations. Plus, thanks to the Rolling Reels feature, winning combinations disappear and let new symbols drop in to offer the potential for sequential wins.

Then, during the free spins round, there is a global multiplier that increases by 1x every time the extra reel drops new symbols into play. The best part is that the multiplier does not reset until the end of the 12 free spins.

As for the jackpot game, this is triggered randomly. You pick from 12 cards and the first of the four jackpots that you find 3 matching cards is the one that you will win. Hopefully, it is the WowPot jackpot which currently stands at close to £13 million.

Cash ‘N Riches WowPot Megaways™ is the ninth WowPot slot and the third made by Triple Edge Studios. If you want to stand a chance at life-changing money, why not go and give this one a try?

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Higher paying symbols pay when 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 line up across one of the ways to win. Here’s the max win for each of those symbols – Diamond (50x), Red Gemstone (7.5x), Blue Gemstone / Green Gemstone (2x), Ace / King (1.80x) Queen / Jack (1x), and Ten / Nine (0.80x).

Book of Helios (BetSoft)

The new BetSoft Book of Helios video slot titles brings players another exciting book themed video slot. On this brand-new title, you’ll join forces with the acclaimed hero Olivia Brave, and adventurer and archaeologist taking on the mythological Greek sun god himself–Helios.

It is the first time BetSoft has stepped into the in-demand slot theme that began with Book of Ra back in the day. It was soon followed by the Book of Dead series starring Riche Wilde and Cat Wilde father/daughter archaeologist and adventurers. Next up. Pragmatic Play’s John Hunter series, which includes the Book of Tut, and Wazdan is in also on the act with Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith from Wazdan.

Now BetSoft enters the Indiana Jones style adventure themed slot titles.

Book of Helios is a 3D cinematic slot title with sublime graphics. As usual, BetSoft’s design team astounds us with superb animations and graphic artwork. You’ll set off over 5 reels with 10 pay lines on a 5×3 grid. As you venture through the halls of gods by spinning the reels, you’ll venture into the Book Of Helios, presenting itself as both the slot’s wild symbol as well as the scatter, which is the key to landing the free spins bonus game.

On the reels, you’ll venture into Greek Gods, Olivia Brave, godly relics, adventure free spins, expanding symbols.

The bonus is where your big money wins will come from on BetSoft’s Book of Helios, and all it takes is 3 scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger 10 free goes. Or you could just skip the reel spins fast track to the buy bonus in which you’ll pay over 60x your spin bet and the next spin will land the scatters for you. During free spins, there is an expanding symbols and multipliers 1x up to 5x.

If you run into the Sun God himself on the reels, do not fear because Helios is here to help you land big wins. He is the highest paying symbol on the slot, while Olivia Brave backs him up as the second highest paid symbol.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Higher paying symbols pay when 2, 3, 4, or 5 line up on a pay line. Here’s the max win for each of those symbols – Book of Helios (20x), Olivia Brave (15x), Godly Crossbow (10x), Godly Whip (10x). Lower paying symbols 10, J, Q, K, A pay when 3, 4, or 5 line up, giving you between 0.2x up to 8x your spin bet.

Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™ (NetEnt)

NetEnt is back once again with yet another masterpiece full of clusters, free spins, multiplier wilds, and symbols with a whole range of special powers. Utilising the cluster pays reel mechanic, avalanche feature, and the new PowerPoints mechanic, this slot ensures that there is always something going on. To get an idea of what this game looks and plays like, think of mobile puzzle games such as Candy Crush. Reels do not spin, symbols instead just drop in to play.

This 6-reel, 6-row slot is themed on an intergalactic space war between a variety of alien species and boy, when they go at it, all kinds of hi-tech weapons get fired at each other. Winning combinations disappear to allow new symbols to drop into the action. Wild and special bonus symbols appear when new winning combinations are created. Rockets go flying in all directions, bombs go off, and zappers zap the alien symbols on the reels. Those special bonus symbols will even combine if landed next to each other to create even more powerful weapons.

The Powerpoints mechanic is above the reels. Each winning combination earns points and will move you to new levels with new multipliers and benefits. Make it to 1000 points on a single spin and you will trigger free spins. How many you get depends on the points you achieved in the base game. During this round, the rows increase to 8 and you have the chance to trigger additional free spins when reaching certain points thresholds. Plus, you even have the option of buying your way into this mode via the buy feature, This costs 75x, 140x, or 250x the stake for 8, 12, or 16 free spins, respectively.

All in all, this is a fantastic new slot from NetEnt that will provide hours of fun. It is possible to rack up some huge wins when some serious sequences kick in. THe win potential increases even more should you earn enough points to trigger free spins! If this sounds like a game you would enjoy, make sure you visit NetEnt to play the free demo version.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers:Clusters pay for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 symbol combinations. Max spin bet multipliers for each symbol are Red Crystal (240x), All Alien symbols (160x), Alien Artefacts (80x).

Sugar Rush (Pragmatic Play)

Sugar Rush brings yet another fantastic cluster pays video slot to Pragmatic Play video slot portfolio. The brand is on a role at the moment with industry accolades coming from LatAm and European iGaming awards events. With the brand-new Sugar Rush slot, it is easy to see why so many judges vote for Pragmatic Play, which is right now the holder of the EGR Operator ‘Game of the Year’ and EGR B2B ‘Casino Software Supplier’ of the year awards holder.

The new cluster pays title shows off the Pragmatic Play design teams ability to bring animated action to the reels jam-packed with features.

You’ll enter a tasty world that will tantalise your taste buds and have you licking your lips as jelly babies and gummy bears drop into a 7×7 grid system. The aim of the game is to land as many symbols into patterns on adjacent positions to form cluster wins. There are 7 regular symbols that will pay when your reel spins link up clusters of 5 to 15+ symbols. And you’ll get plenty of help along the way with a chance to win up to 5,000x your bet when you land the free spins bonus, or indeed, buy the free spins bonus for 100x your spin bet total.

Each time a spin forms a cluster win, the symbols explode off the reels and more drop in via the ‘Tumble Feature’. You can also land multipliers via the ‘Multiplier Spots Feature’ as the ‘Tumble Feature’ will mark the spot of symbols that explode. If the new symbol that drops in on the marked spot is part of a winning combination, a progressive multiplier will be added starting from x2, and it will double each time up to a max of 128x.

Both features are also available in the free spins bonus. You’ll get 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 free spins if a reel spin lands 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters anywhere in view on the reels. During free spins, the marked spots from the ‘Multiplier Spots Feature’ will stay in place for the entire round with progressive multipliers applied too. Furthermore, free spins can be retriggered with the same number of scatters!

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Cluster pay for 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 13, 14 or 15+. Spin bet multipliers for each symbol are Purple Ball Bean (1x to 150x), Orange Heart (0.75x to 100x), Purple Bean (0.5x to 60x), Green Star (0.4x to 40x), Red Bear (0.3x to 30x), Purple Bear (0.25x to 25x), Orange Bear (0.2x to 20x).

*NSYNC POP (Play’n GO)

If you’re a fan of 90s music, you do not get many boy bands that were as big as *NSYNC and now, thanks to Play’n GO, you get to hear them regroup and perform for one last time. Justin, JC, Joey, Lance, and Chris get together on this slot stage to provide you with some musical fun. Play’n GO has already brought music-themed slots in the past with the likes of KISS, Alice Cooper, and Twisted Sister, but this is the first time they have gone down the ‘Pop’ music route.

This high variance slot features a 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 reel format and 144 ways to win. YOu can increase those ways to win to a maximum of 2,400 in the free spins feature. During the base game, the idea is to create 3, 4 or 5 winning combinations using the game’s regular symbols. This is aided by wild symbols and Pop symbols which substitute for regular symbols and reveal matching symbols, respectively. High-paying symbols are the band members, while low-paying symbols are represented by playing card suits.

The wild symbol is a symbol of the whole band together, and the scatter that lands on reels 2, 3, and 4 only is the NSYNC logo. Three of that scatter symbol triggers the free spins round, which includes POP symbols that increase the size of the reels and up to 2,400 ways to win. During this round, Sticky Wilds can land on the reels and stay in place until the end of the feature. If you unlock all 2,400 ways to win during this feature, you will earn an encore spin that features only the band member, sticky wild, and wild symbols. That can land you a huge payout and perhaps even the top payout of 5000x your stake.

Play’n GO’s *NSYNC POP is full of music, features, and lucrative payouts. Whether you are a fan of this legendary boy band or not, this slot is well worth checking out. You can play the free demo over at Play’n GO if you want to try before you buy!

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Symbols pay for combinations of 3, 4, and 5. Here are the 5-paying symbol multipliers for each symbol. Wild Symbol (10x) Justin (10x), JC (8x), Lance, Joey, and Chris (6x), Hearts and Spades (1x), Diamonds and Clubs (0.60x).
