Top 5 Slots Releases 02 July – 08 July 2024

(Rated by the Casinoplusbonus team)

The Casinoplusbonus team again put it to the vote to determine the best 5 new casino slots released in the previous week. It was a close call, but the 5 to earn a short review were Grand Patron (BGaming), Crank It Up (Pragmatic Play), Tai the Toad (Hacksaw Gaming), Buffalo Hold and Win Extreme (Booming Games), and St. Louis 1904 (Blue Guru Games).

• Grand Patron (BGaming)

The latest slot from BGaming, Grand Patron, plunges players into the heart of a criminal empire, offering a staggering max win of 10,000x your stake. Packed with exciting features and lots of gangsters, this slot was a must for us to try.

Grand Patron Features Explained

Here’s what you can look forward to in this slot:

• Wild Symbol: It substitutes all other paying symbols and can show up on all reels. 5 Wilds can form a winning line.
• Scatter Symbol: It shows up only during the Main Game, and only on additional horizontal reels. If it lands on the top or bottom reels, it’ll trigger the Bonus Game.
• Spawner Symbol: If two paytable symbols land on the top and bottom reels, you’ll get 3 matched symbols to a random regular reel position. The same will happen if two Wilds show up on the top and bottom reel.
• Bomb Feature: You can trigger it with the Bomb symbol when any matched symbol on the top or bottom reels or the whole screen explodes. When a spin ends, all matching symbols on the regular reels explode. The remaining symbols drop-down, and new symbols fall from the top to check for winning combinations. If two bombs appear on the additional reels, all symbols on the reels explode and a respin is triggered.
• Prison Feature: You can trigger it by landing a Prison symbol on additional reels with a paytable symbol. When that happens, the matched symbols get stuck (arrested) and a Respin starts. When there are 2 Prison symbols on the top and bottom reels, all symbols on the reels are locked. A random paytable symbol will appear across the entire screen, and the next win is offered.
• Win Multipliers: You can trigger it with the multiplier symbol on the additional horizontal reels. When a multiplier shows up with a paytable symbol, all the winning combos with that symbol will be multiplied. If two multipliers appear on the top and bottom reels, the win for that spin is calculated by multiplying these multipliers.
• Bonus Game: You can trigger 12 Free Spins with Scatter symbols on the top and bottom horizontal reels. You can win 3 Extra Free Spins if the Prison feature is triggered during this one. In the Bonus game, the combination of Prison + Prison or Prison + Symbol can happen only once, meaning only one Prison symbol mechanic can trigger a payout during the bonus game. During the Bonus game, the top and bottom horizontal reels are unlocked and all matching combinations on the additional reels are triggered. If a winning combination triggers the Bonus game, the win is added to the total winnings accumulated during the feature.
• Buy Bonus: You can purchase one of the following:
  • 12 Free Spins for 100x your stake
  • 15 Free Spins (where the Prison+Symbol shows up from the first spin) for 250x your stake
  • 15 Free Spins (where the Prison+Prison shows up from the first spin) for 250x your stake
• Chance 2x Feature: You can increase your chances of triggering the Bonus game by increasing your bet.
  If you’re a fan of mafia-themed slots, Grand Patron is sure to satisfy your craving. On top of that, the features and the max win of 10,000x makes this BGaming release a must-try this week. We had fun giving it a few spins and thoroughly enjoyed the Narcos vibes.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers:To trigger a payout you need to make a matching symbol combination of 3-5. Here are the maximum multipliers you can enjoy: Wild (30x), Gangsta 1(25x), Gangsta 2 (20x), Gangsta 3 (12.5x), Gangsta 4 (7.5x), Gangsta 5 (5x), Drugs (3x), tobacco (2.5x), gun (2x), phone (1.5x), marijuana (1x).
