(Rated by the Casinoplusbonus EN team)

This week proved even more difficult than usual to establish our top 5 new releases, simply because there were so many great titles to choose from. However, after some discussion and a vote, the Casinoplusbonus team finally agreed. Below, you’ll find a review of each that highlights their bonus features, specifications such as maximum wins and RTPs, and why they made the cut.

As for some notable mentions, the following were extremely close to getting into that top five:

• Captain Kraken Megaways (Pragmatic Play)

• Reel King Riches (Jackpot King)

• Carnival Queen 2 (Thunderkick)

Previous week’s new releases: Fresh slots are constantly rolling out from the studios, but if you’re eager to spin something new straight away, you can revisit the 23 titles we covered in our Week 34 New Online Casino Games August report.

A Hopping Kiss (Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt)

Step into a moonlit pond where enchanted frogs, sparkling gems, and spellbound princesses take the reels by storm. A Hopping Kiss blends fairytale charm with clever bonus mechanics, offering you a game filled with Chasing Wilds, multipliers, respins, and two different Free Spins features.

Set on a 5×3 grid with 11 fixed paylines, the slot delivers a mix of classic symbol payouts (gems, crowns, and potions) alongside Wild characters that interact. The maximum win caps at 4,609.5x your bet, with stakes ranging from 0.10 to 40.00 per spin. You can read on, play the demo after reading our review, or skip directly to Swintt’s A Hopping Kiss page to check out the game there.

Game Features Explained

• Chasing Wilds: A Frog and a Princess can land as Wilds, moving across reels on subsequent spins. When they land side by side (horizontally or vertically), they merge into a Mega Wild of up to 4×4 in size. This also triggers the Frog Respin, holding the Mega Wild in place while the rest of the reels spin again.

• Golden Frog & Multiplier Bar: Golden Frogs can land on the reels and collect multipliers shown above each column. These multipliers are then applied to your wins, and in free spins, you can also collect extra spin tokens, extending the round.

• Frog Respin: Triggered when the Frog and Princess meet to create a Mega Wild. You receive one complimentary respin with the giant Wild locked on the grid.

• Free Spins: Landing 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3 or 5 triggers free spins. There are three versions of free spins, which I have outlined below. Within each, Golden Frogs can extend the feature by collecting extra spin tokens from the multiplier bar.

• • Chasing Free Spins: 10 spins with both Frog and Princess guaranteed in play each round. Their meeting can again trigger a Frog Respin.
  • Mega Wild Free Spins: 10 spins where a large 2×2 or 3×3 Wild lands on every spin.
  • Random Free Spins: A buy-in option where you’ll get either of the above.

• Bonus Buy: You can choose from three bonus buy options.

Players can jump straight into the features:

• • Chasing Free Spins = 60x stake
  • Mega Wild Free Spins = 138x stake
  • Random Free Spins = 75x stake

• Bet Boost: Turn this on to increase your stake by 50%. In return, your chance of triggering Free Spins rises by 2.8x.

We love the fact that there are free spins, respins, multipliers and wilds with modifiers built into one slot game. Hence, we just had to review A Hopping Kiss. The game takes the beloved ‘frog prince’ tale and gives it a slot makeover with plenty of moving parts. The Frog and Princess Wild Chase feature adds variety to the base game, while the choice of Free Spins gives you more control over your bonus gameplay. The one drawback is that the RTP is on the lower side compared to many Swintt titles, but the 4,609.5x cap and wild symbol system balance things out.

Don Juan Peppers (Evoplay)

Evoplay’s Don Juan Peppers takes players straight into a vibrant Mexican street fiesta, complete with tacos, guitars, and sombreros on the reels. It runs across 20 fixed paylines on a 5×3 grid, with the action driven by fiery Chili Bonuses, a hold-and-win Bonus Game, and four jackpots that can push wins all the way up to 3,400x your stake.

Games Features Explained

• Wild Symbol: Don Juan himself represents the Wild, landing on reels 2 through 5. He substitutes for regular pay symbols but won’t replace Bonus or Chili symbols.

• Free Spins: Three Chili Bonus symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 trigger 7 free spins. At the start of the round, each triggering Chili locks in a prize above its reel, and any further Chilis that land on those reels instantly pay out that fixed prize. These ‘Instant Chili Prizes’ stay locked in for the entire round and continue to trigger payouts on every spin, which, of course, I loved. However, unlike some other slots, retriggers aren’t available here, so you’ve got one shot at building up as much as possible during your 7 spins.

• Bonus Game: Landing six or more Bonus symbols launches the hold-and-win style Bonus Game. You start with 3 spins, and each new Bonus symbol resets the counter back to 3. Only Bonus symbols and empty spaces appear here, and all landed values remain sticky until the end of the game. Chili Bonus symbols that land during this round add their value to up to four existing coins before transforming, giving you an extra layer of rewards. The feature ends either when you run out of spins or fill the entire grid, with every value collected and added together at the end.

• Jackpots: Four jackpots can be claimed during the Bonus Game. The Mini pays 30x, Mega pays 90x, Super pays 300x, and the coveted Grand Jackpot pays 3000x, which is awarded if all 15 reel spaces are filled with symbols.

• Bonus Buy: For those who prefer to skip the wait, Don Juan Peppers includes a Bonus Buy option.

• • 7 Free Spins can be bought for 34x your stake
  • Instant access to the Bonus Game costs 74x your stake

Don Juan Peppers combines lively presentation with a great mix of Free Spins and hold-and-win play. The Instant Chili Prizes add a fun twist to free spins, while the bonus game with sticky symbols and jackpots is the perfect place to land huge spin bet multipliers. If you enjoy jackpot chases and fast-paced feature rounds, this slot is worth a place on your list.

Carnival Queen 2 (Thunderkick)

Carnival Queen 2 brings the Mardi Gras parade back to life with a street-party backdrop, 6 reels, and a starting 5,040 ways to win that can expand all the way up to 117,649 ways. With avalanches, exploding wilds, and multipliers that keep climbing without limits, this release raises the bar from the original. The slot also adds BET+ side bets that let you increase your odds of triggering the bonus or guarantee extra wilds. At its peak, wins can climb as high as 25,000x your stake.

Game Features Explained

• Avalanche Wins: Winning symbols are removed, and new ones drop in. This can continue as long as new combinations form, creating multiple wins from a single spin.

• Exploding Wilds: Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters. After a win, a Wild explodes, clearing all other symbols on its reel plus one random symbol on each remaining reel. The reel with the Exploding Wild also expands in height by +1, up to 7 rows, boosting the ways to win to a maximum of 117,649. A maximum of 2 Wilds can appear simultaneously.

• Infinite Multiplier: The multiplier begins at x1. Every avalanche increases it by +1, with no upper limit. Importantly, the multiplier carries through the full game round, meaning big wins can snowball across consecutive avalanches.

• Free Spins Bonus: Landing 3 or more Scatters awards 12 free spins, with 4 extra spins for each additional Scatter. During free spins, landing 2 Scatters gives +3 extra spins, while more Scatters award +2 each. The bonus kicks off with your current multiplier, which does not reset throughout the feature.

• Feature Buys: You can buy direct access to the bonus, or you can boost your chances of triggering the bonus game.

• • Standard Bonus Game for 100x of your base bet, and there’s a 94.28% RTP
  • Bonus Game (10,000+ Ways) for 175x of your base bet 94.31% RTP
  • Bonus Boost (1.5x): Doubles the chance of triggering the bonus (94.21% RTP).
  • Bonus Boost Plus (3x): 5x higher chance of triggering the bonus (94.23% RTP).
  • Bonus Boost Extreme (10x): Triggers the bonus roughly once every 10 spins (94.26% RTP).
  • Firework Frenzy (x): Guarantees 1 Wild on the initial drop (94.23% RTP).

Carnival Queen 2 is a carnival-themed slot that thrives on its avalanche engine, unlimited multipliers, and wild mechanics that can stretch reels up to 117,649 ways. The regular RTP is slightly lower than average, but the blend of side bets and bonus buy options gives players flexible ways to engage with the features. The top payout of 25,000x makes it one of Thunderkick’s more ambitious sequels, and it’s a step up in both scale and gameplay variety compared to the first game.

3 Pots of Lunar Wolf: Hold & Win (Betsoft)

Game Features Explained

• Wild Symbols: The Wolf symbol acts as the Wild, substituting for all regular pay symbols to help form line wins. Wilds do not replace Coin Pot Bonus symbols.

• Coin Pots (Extra, Multi, Double): Above the reels sit three pots of gold. Coin Pot Bonus symbols are collected on the reels, and any pot can trigger the Hold & Win feature. More than one pot can activate at the same time.

• • Extra Pot: increases the respins in Hold & Win from 3 to 4.
  • Multi Pot: scatters multipliers between 2x and 10x on random positions. If multiple multipliers land on the same position, they combine up to a maximum of 20x.
  • Double Pot: duplicates the game board, meaning two Hold & Win grids spin independently with their own respin counters and rewards.

• Hold & Win Feature: Triggered through Coin Pots, this bonus begins with 3 respins (or 4 if the Extra Pot is active). Only Bonus Coins land during this mode, each locking into place. Every new coin resets the respin counter.

• Bonus Coins can contain: Cash Prizes between 1.00 to 20.00× bet

• Fixed Jackpots: Mini (15×), Minor (50×), Major (150×) and Grand (1,000×) your bet.

• • Grand Jackpot – awarded for filling all 15 positions on the grid, paying 1,000× bet
  • If Double Pot is active, both boards follow the same rules independently, and filling either can award the Grand Jackpot.

• Buy Feature: For 80× your stake, players can buy direct entry into Hold & Win, starting with at least one random Coin Pot active.

Betsoft has kept the base game straightforward, letting the wolf-pack theme set the stage for the bonus mechanics. The Coin Pots add variety to the Hold & Win round, with Double Pot being the most eye-catching thanks to its twin board play. With bets ranging from 0.20 to 160.00 and a capped win of 3,936×, it has a wide betting range but stays focused on medium volatility outcomes. If you enjoy Hold & Win slots with layered mechanics, 3 Pots of Lunar Wolf adds a refreshing spin through its Extra, Multi, and Double pots.

Ignis Rex (Evoplay)

Ignis Rex is a 5-reel, 3-row slot played across 10 fixed paylines. Built around a regal kingdom theme, the reels feature crowns, coins, and royal figures, set against a backdrop of fiery riches. With both instant wins and a bonus feature tied to coins, the game blends classic paylines with a Hold & Win mechanic for bigger rewards.

Game Features Explained

• Wild Symbol: The Wild can land on any reel and substitutes for all other symbols except Scatters and Coins. When it appears, it becomes sticky for 1 to 3 spins, helping to form repeated wins.

• Scatter Symbol: Scatters are limited to reels 1, 3, and 5. Landing three triggers a Scatter payout, and their positions on the reels don’t matter. Paylines aren’t required for this symbol.

• Coins: Coins appear on every reel in two forms: locked and unlocked. In the base game, unlocked coins instantly pay their multiplier value, ranging from x1 to x20 your total bet. Hitting three or more coin symbols in the same row launches the King’s Coins Bonus.

• King’s Coins Bonus: This feature begins with 3 spins. Each new coin resets the counter back to 3. Standard symbols disappear, and only coins or blanks appear on the reels. Coin values remain in place until the round ends, and any new coin doubles the total value of all coins already collected. During the bonus, all coins count as unlocked. The feature ends when no spins remain or when the reels are completely filled with coins. The final win is the total of all coin values.

Ignis Rex mixes straightforward 10-line gameplay with a coin feature that can deliver strong payouts through multipliers and a bonus round that builds momentum as coins land. While paylines keep the base game simple, the sticky wilds and coin mechanics are where the biggest rewards lie.
