Happy Monday! It is that time of the week where we give you the lowdown on the new casino games launched the previous week. This time, we will give you the full list of new games that were launched during the first week of August. Amazingly, we have started this month with the same number of games that hit the shelves in the last week of July. In total, the many leading software developers contrived to release 31 new casino games between them!

The iGaming industry boasts well over 100 software developer’s these days, so it is little wonder we get to enjoy 20, 30, or more new casino games each week. This time around, you can expect video slots from the likes of Stakelogic, Playson, Spinomenal, Relax Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, AvatarUX, and Amusnet Interactive, among many others.

As ever, this report contains five mini reviews of some of the best new titles and a full list of each new game that made its casino debut during the past week.

Book Hotfire – A Book slot Done in AceRun and Yggdrasil Style!

Before we get into all that, let’s take a look at one top video slot we gave a full review to during the week. Book Hotfire is a 10-payline slot that plays out over a 5×3 reel format. As with other ‘Book’ slots, the theme is Ancient Egypt and the variance is high. Launched via Yggdrasil’s GATI distribution platform, this title also offers lucrative features including free spins, wild symbols, and expanding symbols.

Last Week’s New Casino Games Report: As mentioned, in our last new casino games report of July, there was the same number of new releases as there is in this one. Among the 31 new titles released was Miss Cherry Fruits from BGaming, the excellent MexoMax from Yggdrasil, and Red Tiger Gaming’s 10,001 Nights Megaways, a slot that contains up to 117,649 ways to win. Plus, the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network saw another title added to its series.

Top 5 Video Slot Releases—Week 32 August 2022 New Casino Games

Before you check out the full list of new titles now waiting at the online casinos, we recommend you try out the following new titles first. There is the latest Gigablox title from Yggdrasil, yet another release from pragmatic Play, and excellent new games from Platipus, iSoftBet, and Play’n GO.

• Greedy Wolf (Pragmatic Play)

If you have heard of Quickspin’s Big Bad Wolf and you enjoy that slot series, then here’s another one for you. However, this time it’s Pragmatic Play taking the fairytale to the world of online video slots. The three little pigs and the big bad wolf are all part of the storyline and the idea is to blow away those houses in exchange for big wins. In other words, it almost feels like you are the predator in favour of the greedy wolf!

There’s a wild symbol, a random stacked greedy wolf symbol set, 3 little pigs, and the greedy wolf, plus a scatter symbol to trigger free spins. If you land 6 scatters, the free spins game will kick into action with 6 free spins.

There is a special feature that helps you guarantee a win at the end of the free spins bonus as each position the scatters landed in will have a straw mark permanently throughout the round. The straw can upgrade to wood, brick and then a castle. When the round ends, you will collect your winnings on top of more random money prizes when the wolf comes along and blows down the houses and castles. On top of this, you can land more free spins by landing more scatters.
You can also land cash prizes during the base game via modifier features.

• Greedy Wolf: lands a full stack of 3 symbols on reel 3, all pig symbols transform into the Wolf
• 3 Little Pigs Wilds & Respins: Adds a random number of wilds to the reels with a respins feature blowing more wild symbols all over the reels.
• Guaranteed Win: On non-win spins, the wolf will randomly blow all symbols off the reels and new ones will drop in.

Also, if you prefer to play with an increased chance of winning the free spins games, you can add an ‘Ante Bet’ which will add 25% of your total bet amount to your spin bet.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Wolf and/or Wild symbols pay 20x, 10x, 2x or 0.1x your bet for 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line. All other symbols pay when 3, 4 or 5 alike symbols land on a pay line. Pigs pay 10x, Hammer 5x, Spade 5x, A/K 4x and Q/J 3x your bet for 5 symbols on a pay line.

•  Monsters VS Gigablox™ (Hot Rise Games/ReelPlay/Yggdrasil)

Do you have what it takes to stop three gigantic monsters from destroying a city while also trying to scoop some handsome payouts along the way? In the fantastic Monsters VS Gigablox™ video slot, you get that chance.

Monsters VS Gigablox™ is the latest title from Hot Rise Games, an independent studio under the ReelPlay umbrella. The title is powered by Yggdrasil’s GATI development and deployment platform. It offers a rampaging monster theme, the popular Gigablox feature on lease from Yggdrasil, and the main bonus feature that can deliver between 4 and 40 free spins!

The action takes place across 6-reels and 6-rows and 50 paylines on this high variance slot. The RTP is an average 96.08% and the hit frequency is 38.38%.

The main features include Gigablox symbols that can be 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, or 6×6 in size. In the base game, any symbol can land as a Gigablox symbol including all paying symbols, the wild symbol, or the scatter symbol. They help you to generate decent wins during the base game, but as with most slots, your priority is to trigger the free spins round.

To trigger the epic free spins round on Monsters VS Gigablox™, land 5 or more scatter symbols anywhere in view. During free spins, keep an eye out for one of the monsters going wild. You are awarded 4 free spins and an additional free spin for every additional scatter symbol. That means it is possible to win as many as 40 free spins.

At the start of this feature, one of the five monsters is chosen to be the Rampaging monster symbol during the round. Land a win using this symbol that also acts as a wild, and your win carries a 2x multiplier. The final bonus feature is the Buy Feature that allows you to purchase that free spins round for 75x your stake.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: When 3, 4, 5, or 6 alike symbols land on a pay line, this qualifies as a win. The 6 symbols payouts are as follows: Kongo King (500x), Lord Zar (250x), Spartan Fighter (200x), Great Old One (150x), Object 51 (125x), Pyrana (100x), A, K, Q, J, 10, 9 (75x).

•  Leprechaun’s Vault (Play’n GO)

Larkin the Leprechaun, the star of iconic Play’n GO slots such as Leprechaun Goes to Egypt, Leprechaun Goes to Hell, and Leprechaun Goes Wild is back for yet another adventure. This time he takes centre stage in Play’n Go’s latest slot, Leprechaun’s Vault. If you have ever wondered where Leprechauns keep the gold they hand out to those fortunate enough to find the end of a rainbow, it is the Leprechaun’s Vault.

This 5×3 video slot offers 20-fixed paylines, a 96.20% RTP, and high variance. Aesthetically, the standard of this slot is what you would expect from Play’n GO. It looks great on any device whether a desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet. The impressive graphics and animations are delivered in high definition and will not disappoint.

As for the features, Leprechaun’s Vault has plenty. There is a Coin Bag multiplier wild symbol that lands on the three middle reels only. Each of these symbols will hold either a 2x, 3x, or 4x multiplier value which is applied to the symbol combinations it helps to create. If more than one wild symbol completes a winning combination, those multipliers are added together.

During the free spins round, those symbols offer even more value as they remain sticky on the reels. Landing 3 scatter symbols will trigger free spins. A spin on a combination lock determines how many free spins you receive up to a whopping 24. This round is where you can collect the best wins. Land several sticky wilds give you a great chance of adding a decent wedge to your balance. Plus, you might even land the top prize of 9,000x your stake! Why not check out the demo version before you play for real money?

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: When 2, 3, 4, or 5 alike symbols land across an active payline, this qualifies as a win. The 5 symbols payouts are as follows: Larkin the Leprechaun (37.50x), Pink Fairy (20x), Blue Fairy (15x), Green Fairy (10x), Leprechaun’s Hat (6.25x), Horseshoe (5x), A, K (2.50x), Q, J,10 1.25x).

• Majestic Megaways Extreme 4 (iSoftBet)

Majestic Megaways Extreme 4 is a new version of the iSoftBet Majestic Megaways video slot. Previous versions include Majestic Megaways (2020) and Majestic Gold Megaways (2021). The theme is set in sun-soaked African Savanna and comes with an African Safari-style theme tune giving you that tropical vibe.

You’ll be playing across 4 sets of reels all with the same 6 reels, shapeshifting reels that can accommodate 2 to 7 symbols on each at random, and there is a horizontal top reel with 4 positions adding 1 position to reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. With all 4 reels in play, you have up to 470,596 Megaways and payouts across multiple reels.

You’ll spin all 4 sets of reels in search of Lions, African Elephants, Rhino, and Buffalo to land the highest-paying combination wins. There are also wild, bonus and mystery symbols joining the wildlife. Each time you roll in a combination win, there is a cascading reel feature replacing the original winning symbols giving you a chance to link up more wins.

Mystery symbols are one of the most useful in the base game as a random amount can hit the reels. They will then transform into the same symbol giving you a chance to win multiple combination payouts. There is also a ‘Max Megaways’ feature, which is completely random. When this triggers, the spin will produce 117,649 Megaways – the maximum number possible, and it can trigger on 1 or all 4 reel sets.

Landing scatters can trigger 12, 17, 22 or 27 free spins or you can go for 15 Majestic Megaways Extreme Spins with the chance to unlock up to 4 reels giving you a potential 470,596 winning ways. Free spins will play out on a single set of reels, and scatters will need to land on that reel. You can also land additional free spins with 3 or 4 bonus symbols. Adding to this, there is a progressive multiplier feature that increases with every cascade during free spins. And if you want to skip triggering the bonus, use the ‘Bonus Buy’ options.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: Lion pays 10x, 5x, 2x, 1x or 0.4x for 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 symbols. All other symbols pay when there are 3, 4, 5 or 6 symbols. The max win for the Elephant is 3x, Rhino 0.6x, and Buffalo 0.4x.

• Book of Light (Platipus)

Egyptian-themed book slots just keep on coming as slot players continue to demand their dose of Egyptian madness on the reels. This time it is Platipus that obliges to popular demand with a visit to the Giza deserts. And although the slot comes with the customary powerful and mystic magic book, the reels come with a slightly different reel mechanic to most other book-themed video slots, which traditionally use 10 pay lines.

The Book of Light slot title came out on 4 August and intros the Platipus ‘Blocks’ reel mechanic. It is essentially a cluster pays slot title in which the reels will need to spin in 3 up to 25 symbols. Symbols will need to land on adjacent reels to form paying ‘Blocks’.

True to form, the book plays its typical roles of scatter multiplier, free spins trigger and wild symbol. As a wild, it substitutes for all regular symbols by acting as a wildcard. However, it becomes even more valuable when you land 5, 4 or 3 anywhere on the reels that release spin bet multipliers worth 200x, 20x or 2x your spin bet. What’s more, you’ll have 10 free spins to build on the generous multiplier paid out by the Book of Light. And if you land 5, 4 or 3 in view during free spins, you’ll land another multiplier and another 10 free spins.

During free spins a random symbol will become an expanding symbol. When the symbol lands on any reel, it will fill that reel. All expanding symbols on the reels will count as a ‘Block’ regardless of whether they are on an adjacent reel.

If you would prefer to simply head directly not the free spins bonus game, then use the ‘Buy Bonus’ option. You’ll need to pay 70x your spin bet, and you’ll instantly earn a multiplier from the scatters and 10 free spins.

Combination Wins Bet Multipliers: You can link up ‘blocks’ of symbols from 3 up to 25. The explorer pays the highest win for 25 symbols and could land you a massive 5,000x your spin bet.
