Top 5 Video Slot Releases–Week 28 July 2022

Right then, let us get you started by kicking things off with our top 5 new releases of last week. Red Tiger Gaming, Play’n GO, and Pragmatic Play are among the developers responsible for bringing to the iGaming scene these cracking new slot releases.

• 9 Coins™ (Wazdan)

Wazdan, kick starts our Week 28 new casino games report with the release of Epic 9 Coins™. The first thing you” notice about about Epic 9 Coins™ is that it is not your traditional video slot. The game plays out on a 3×3 grid but has no paylines as such. You do have 1-payline during the base game but you will not win a payout from that payline. It is used simply to get into the main bonus feature. You continue spinning the reels until you land three bonus symbols across that payline. Once you do, those bonus symbols carry across into that feature.

The Hold the jackpot Bonus round is that main feature. That feature is essentially a Hold&Win mechanic that gives you 3 re-spins that reset every time you land a new bonus symbols in one of the nine positions on the grid. You continue to enjoy re-spins until you either fill all nine positions or run out of re-spins.

There are six bonus symbols in total. Cash Symbols will hold a value of 1x and 5x your stake, while the Cash Infinity™ symbols remain sticky during the base game so that you’re guaranteed to bring them into the bonus round. Collector symbols will collect all the cash values present and apply a multiplier of between 1x and 9x. Finally, you have mystery symbols and mystery jackpot symbols. The latter will transform into any other bonus symbol at the end of the feature while the latter will transform into one of the Mini, Minor, or Major jackpots.

At the end of the round, all the cash values, multipliers, and jackpots are collected and combined to determine your ultimate payout. If you get lucky enough to fill all 9 positions on the reels, you will win the 500x top payout on Wazdan’s Epic 9 Coins™ video slot. You also have the option of buying into the bonus feature. You have four options costing between 50x and 150x your stake.

All in all, Epic 9 Coins™ is an interesting and different slot but one that we thing will appeal to many of you. Go and check it out at any Wazdan casino today!

• Lucky Lady Moon MEGAWAYS™ (BGaming)

If you’re looking for one of the best new titles to hit the online casinos in the past week, then look no further than BGaming’s excellent video slot, Lady Moon MEGAWAYS™. This title is essentially the firm’s popular 2020 release, Lucky Lady Moon, but with the addition of the Megaways random reel modifier mechanic. This allows you to land winning combinations on up to 200,704 ways to win.

This is a fantastic-looking title that offers an additional horizontal reel, a cascading symbols mechanic called the Refilling feature, wild multipliers, a lucrative free spins round, and a buy bonus feature. When you spin the reels and land winning combinations, all winning symbols will disappear so that other symbols can drop into play and potentially create more wins. Plus, if a wild multiplier symbol helps to create a win, that win is multiplied by 2x!

The base game is full of treats and the tastiest of them come when you trigger the free spins main bonus round. A wheel of fortune will deliver up to 15 free spins with a multiplier that ranges between 2x and 25x. If you manage to get many spins with a high multiplier attached, get ready to watch the big wins pile up.You even have a couple of shortcuts you can use to trigger those free spins. For a cost of 50% on top of your chosen spin bet, you can have double the chance to land the 3 or more scatter symbols needed to trigger the free spins. Alternatively, you can buy into the free spins directly for a cost of 90x your spin bet.

BGaming has had an eventful 2022 thus far with the release of many excellent new titles. However, Lucky Lady Moon MEGAWAYS has to be up there with the best of them so far. The addition of up to 200,704 Megaways, an additional horizontal reel, and the Refilling feature ensures that you never go many spins without something interesting happening on the reels!

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Symbols pay for combinations of 3, 4, 5, and 6. Here are the 6-paying symbol multipliers for each symbol. Moon Scatter (50x), Ladybug (10x), Diamond (5x), Gold Coin (3x), Horseshoe (2x), A/K/Q (0.80x), and J/10/9 (0.50x).

• Bomb Bonanza (Pragmatic Play)

The gold mining theme is becoming as popular as Egyptian-themed slots at online casinos, and Pragmatic Play is capitalising. Its latest Bomb Bonanza video slot brings 5×5 reels with a mega 50 pay lines to our screens in a gold mining expedition with the ‘Lucky Miner’.

High-end 3D artwork, an abundance of animated effects and engaging game sounds blend in perfectly giving you the ultimate video slot gameplay experience. And, as you would expect from a modern Pragmatic Play video slot title, there is plenty of feature action on the reels.

With 50 pay lines behind the reels, you’ll spin in plenty of combination wins. Symbols include the Lucky Miner who is the star of the slot, pots of gold, pickaxes, gold pans, a free spins scatter symbol and wild bombs. Link up 3, 4, or 5 symbols from left to right to land multiplier worth 0.2x to 12x your spin bet. As for landing big wins, if you land the free spins scatter anywhere in view on reels 1, 3 and 5, you’ll be in with a chance of etching out anything up to 2,015x your spin bet.

Free spins scatter symbols award 6 free spins in a bonus round that adds a special golden nugget symbol to the reels. This nugget is the key to levelling up and collecting more free spins and giant wild symbols.

• Level 1: Start with 6 free spins
• Level 2: Collecting 5 gold nuggets awards 4 free spins + wilds become 2×2 in size
• Level 3: Collect another 5 gold nuggets award 2 free spins + wilds become 3×3 in size
• Level 4: Collect another 5 gold nuggets award 2 free spins + wilds become 4×4 in size
• Level 5: Collect another 3 gold nuggets award 1 free spin + wilds become 5×5 in size

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Lucky Miner (12x), Pot of Gold (10x), Gold Pan (8x), Pickaxe (6x). A (3x), K (3x), Q (2x), J (2x). The wild symbol also forms combinations with 5 symbols worth 12x your spin bet.

• Apache Way (Red Tiger Gaming)

On 7 July Red Tiger released its Apache Way video slot. Another popular theme, but not seen often enough, brings fans of the developer into a tribal Indian world where you’ll need to spin the reels the Apache Way!

Red Tiger has a 5/5 hit rate and 4/5 variance/volatility and categorises the theme as Arcade. As for the max win, you can net up to 2,571x your spin bet. Not bad at all. And as per usual, the trademark Red Tiger, larger-than-life reels, animations, and graphics are all to the usual above-and-beyond standard. Something we have grown accustomed to from the current EGR B2B 2022 slot provider of the year title holder. With that, the gameplay matches the awesome graphic design and animations.

You’ll play on 5 reels with 3 positions on each reel and 25 pay lines. Look out for the ‘Ritual of the Sun’ scatters. 6 will trigger 3 respins bonus that could land you up to 2,000x your spin bet. If a new sun scatter lands during respins, it sticks and respins reset to 3. Each sun scatter has a cash/multiplier value, and these totals are added to together and paid out when there are no respins remaining.

The Apache Way! can also lead you to 2,571x your spin bet via its free spins bonus. Land the ‘free spins’ scatters for 5 free spins with Mega symbols that can fill 3 reels as a single symbol.

Just as a final note. When I played the Apache Way slot, I quickly added it to my favourite lobby in my online casino. It has a real Vegas aura about it. Hard to explain, but if you get a chance to play it on a widescreen, and you are also a fan of land-based slots, then you’ll know exactly what I mean.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: All symbols pay when 3, 4 or 5 roll onto a pay line. Here’s the 5-symbol combination bet multipliers: Eagle (20x), Wild (20x), Wild Bear (16x), Cougar (12x), Rattler Snake (8x), A (2.5x), K (2x), Q (1.5x), (1x), 10 (0.6x).

• Merlin’s Grimoire (Play’n GO)

Play’n GO polishes off our Week 28 new casino games top 5 with the release of its Merlin’s Grimoire video slot title. The game hit the iGaming wires on 7 July following NSYNC Pop and Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead titles released at the end of June. From ancient Egypt to famous pop culture, now Play’n GO takes its fans to visit the realms of wizardry.

With a young Merlin the centre of attention on Merlin’s Grimoire, this slot takes you back to the early days of the very wizard that became King Arthur’s loyal advisor.

Your quest for magical riches begins on 5×3 reels with up to 7,776 ways to win. And if you were wondering how Merlin has managed to fit in so many ways to win on a standard 5×3 grid, the answer is ‘magic’.

You will find 10 symbols on the reels, but these are no ordinary symbols. With a wave of the wand, Merlin has mastered the art of symbol splitting. However, splitting symbols doesn’t mean larger combination wins as we have seen with this feature on other slots. Instead, when symbols split into 2, this results in more ways to win (it doubles the pay ways to be precise). For example, if all 3 symbols on a reel split into 2, essentially you have 3 x 2 = 9 symbols on a single reel thus increasing your chances of landing a 3, 4, or 5 symbol combination win.

In the base game, symbols can split on reels 2, 3 and 4, while in the free spin bonus, symbols can split on all 5 reels. Adding to this, before the free spins bonus kicks off, one of the regular symbols will become an expanding symbol. Expanding symbols do not need to be on adjacent reels to form combinations win, and if this symbol splits, you are almost guaranteed to land multiple symbol wins in a single spin.

During the base game, keep on spinning for the magic bool scatter. You’ll win 0.4x, 0.6x, 1.6x or 4x your spin bet for 2, 3, 4 or 5 anywhere on the reels. And for 3 or more scatters, the free spin round will activate. For a free go on this slot, check out the Play’n GO demo here.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Scatter (4x), Merlin (4x), Crystal Staff (3x), Potion (2.5x), Scroll (2.5x), Gold Disc (1x), Red Disc (1x), Bronze Disc (1x), Purple Disc (0.8x), Blue Disc (0.8x), Green Disc (0.8x).
