Week 40 October New Casino Games

Read our Week 40 October New Casino Games Report. Another week and another 30 new casino games. Check out new slots, live games, and more! (Image from casinoplusbonus.com)

With September now consigned to the history books, we now have October, and the many expected new casino games to look forward to. Well, it has started just as last month finished, as there are another 30 new releases that made their debuts at the online casinos in the last week. That is exactly the same number that we could bring you in our previous report.

As ever, these have come courtesy of some big-name developers that most of you will know well. There are slots and live casino games from the likes of NetEnt, Pragmatic Play Live, Endorphina, Greentube, Wazdan, Stakelogic Live, and AvatarUX. Last week, we reviewed two new releases. For a start, we took an in-depth look at The Emirate II, a brand new release from Endorphina that offers simple but entertaining gameplay. Plus, Wazdan launched 9 Coins™ 1000 Edition, a sequel to its hugely popular 9 Coins™ video slot.

As for what else you can look forward to, there were some fantastic new ‘Book’ slots from the likes of Pragmatic Play and Greentube. We have provided a mini-review of both as they made our top 5 this week. You will also see reviews of the aforementioned titles we reviewed in the week and an epic release from Betsoft.

Miss last week’s report? If you did, there is no need to worry as you can just go back to our ‘Week 39 2022 September New Casino Games Report‘. There were 30 new releases, including epic titles such as Money Train 3 (Relax Gaming), Gonzita’s Quest (Red Tiger Gaming), and ImmorTails (Play’n Go).

Top 5 Video Slot Releases—Week 40 New Casino Games (October 2022)

Right, enough of the messing around. Let us get into the new casino content you can enjoy. In this section we will give you reviews of the top 5 (in our opinion) new titles launched last week. You will get to enjoy the latest in the Book of Ra and John Hunter series of games, as well as three other fantastic slots.

  • The Emirate II (Endorphina)

The first mini review this week is of the latest release, The Emirate II from Endorphina. This is a video slot we reviewed earlier in the week and one that many of the team have continued to play ever since. Themed on the city of Dubai and the rich culture it harbours, The Emirate II will certainly put you in the mood to win some big payouts.

When you load up this title for the first time, you will instantly notice how great it looks. Whether you play on a mobile device or PC, the graphics look top drawer. As for the game itself, the action takes place on a 5×3 reel format that contains 20-fixed paylines. The slot carries a 96.01% RTP and has medium volatility. That means you should enjoy consistent wins of a decent size.

The gameplay is actually quite simple, as this is a title that is designed for quick and easy action. For that reason, you will not find too many bonus features. There is no main bonus game such as free spins. What you do get is a base game that features stacked wilds and scatter pays. The formers mean that wild symbols can appear stacked on the reels. In some cases, the wilds can fill the entire reel they appear on. The scatter symbols do nothing other than pay out when you land 3 or more anywhere in view.

The only other feature is a risk game (gamble feature) that you have the option of using after every win. It allows you the chance to double your wins. You can even double any win up to ten times (if you get that lucky). All you have to do is pick one of four face-down cards in the hope of finding one that has a value higher than the card that is face up. You can collect your winnings at any time and can see the card you have to beat before you play. Just remember, if you lose, you lose all the winnings you previously won. On the flip side, each win will double what you won.

If you want to learn more, you can read our review posted during the week. Better yet, why not just go and check The Emirate II slot out for yourself?

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: When you spin in 3, 4, or 5 alike symbols on a pay line from left to right across consecutive reels you’ll get paid. The spin bet multipliers for 5-symbol wins are as follows: Wild Symbol (50x), The Sheikh (20x), The Shaykhah (10x), The Yacht (10x), Lamp/Horn/necklace (5x).

The Emirate II Online Slot Features

The Emirate II (Endorphina)
  • 5×3 Reels with 20-Fixed Paylines
  • 96.01% Theoretical RTP
  • Medium Variance/Volatility
  • Stacked Wilds
  • Scatter Pays
  • Gamble Feature (Double-Up)
  • Min-Max Bets 0.20–20.00
  • Max Win 1,000x
  • 9 Coins TM: 1000 Edition (Wazdan)

Reviewed on Saturday here via our ‘9 Coins™: 1000 Edition Video Slot Review’, Wazdan has created one of the most interesting ‘bonus orientated’ slots online yet. It is the sequel to the July release of 9 CoinsTM , which has become one of the Wazdan software developer’s most played casino games.

There are no regular symbols so no combination wins. Instead, players will trigger a bonus game that triggers regularly enough to keep players interested. It has the same features as 9 CoinsTM, but this time the ‘Grand’ jackpot is worth a whopping 1,000x your spin bet – increased by 500x.

Immersive features brought together for 9 CoinsTM: 1000 Edition include ‘Hold the Jackpot’, ‘Cash InfinityTM‘, ‘Gamble’, ‘Mystery Symbols’, ‘Mystery Jackpot Symbols’, ‘4 Fixed (non-progressive) Jackpots’, ‘Buy Bonus’, and the popular ‘Volatility LevelsTM’ component.

The reels use a 3×3 grid and there are ‘Gold Bonus Coins’, ‘Cash InfinityTM symbols, Mystery Symbols and Jackpot Mystery symbols spinning on the reels. Bear in mind, none are regular symbols. All you need to do is spin your way to any 3 of these symbols landing horizontally across the 3 middle row positions on the grid. When there are 3 on this row, plus any other symbols in other positions, the ‘Hold the Jackpot’ bonus will trigger with all symbols held in position.

Now the action begins! There are 3 respins and empty spaces to fill on the reels. I.e., the spaces on which no symbol was present when the ‘Hold the Jackpot’ bonus triggered. Your mission is to fill up as many of the empty reel positions as possible.

  • Gold Bonus Coins: Adds multipliers to the total win at the end of the bonus
  • Cash InfinityTM: Stick to the reels in the base game and give you huge multipliers on top of your Gold Coin multipliers during the ‘Hold the Jackpot’ bonus
  • Mystery Symbols: Can turn into any other symbol except for the Cash InfinityTM
  • Mystery Jackpot: At the end of the bonus, it will reveal the ‘Mini’, ‘Minor’ or ‘Major’ jackpot symbol
  • Jackpot Symbols: Land the ‘Mini’, ‘Minor’ or ‘Major’ jackpot symbols multiple times.
  • Grand Jackpot: Fill all 9 positions on the reels for a 1,000x spin bet multiplier

If you land a new symbol on any of the 3 respins, the count will reset back to 3 respins. After 3 respins with no new symbols, the bonus ends. At this point, all multipliers and jackpot multipliers accumulate for one large multiplier win applies to your total spin bet. At the end of this, you can double your win via the ‘gamble’ feature.

No Regular Symbols: There are no regular symbols to discuss. And one of the fun challenges I had with this was playing the game ‘manually’ Vs ‘buy bonus’. I set my ‘Volatility Levels’ and bought the exact same ‘Low’, ‘Standard’ or ‘High’ volatility bonus. The idea was to see if I can spin in the bonus ‘manually’ for less than the cost of the buy bonus. Plus, there is also an ‘Extreme Bonus Buy’ option you can try too!

9 Coins TM: 1000 Edition Online Slot Features

  • Cash Connection™ – Golden Book of Ra™(Greentube)

Why play many of the Book of Ra alternatives when you can just check out the latest in the original series? Greentube this week revealed that they had released Cash Connection™ – Golden Book of Ra™. Essentially, they have given their legendary slot the Cash Connection treatment. That is a Lock and Spin feature complete with four epic jackpots you can win!

The first thing you will notice is that they have upgraded the graphics from the original. However, the biggest change is the fact the famous ‘Book’ symbol no longer exists. The ‘Coin’ symbols that trigger and take centre stage in the Lock and Spin bonus have replaced it. When you land 6 or more coins on a single spin, you enter that main feature.

Like other Hold & Win bonus rounds on other slots, you receive three re-spins on a new set of reels. The triggering symbols remain and lock in place for those re-spins. Every time you land another special coin symbol, your re-spins reset. Those coins hold a value of between 1x and 100x your bet. You can also land coins with ‘Mini’, ‘Minor’, or ‘Major’ written on them. They represent 3 of the 4 progressive jackpots. You can win the other, the ‘Grand’ if you manage to fill all vacant positions during this feature. Otherwise, it will end when you run out of re-spins. At that point, you collect the value of all the coins collected and any of the smaller jackpots.

Aside from the main feature on Cash Connection™ – Golden Book of Ra™, you have the option of using a gamble feature after every win on the reels. This gives you the chance to double up your winnings. It is a risk, however, as you could lose everything you previously won! Will the latest in the Book of Ra series appease fans of the original? That remains to be seen, but we have certainly enjoyed it so far.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: When you land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on a payline, you will win a payout. The 5-symbol combinations for each of those symbols is: Adventurer (500x), Wild Symbol (500x), Pharoah (200x), Statue (75x), Scarab (75x), Ace/King (15x),Queen/Jack/Ten (10x).

Cash Connection™ – Golden Book of Ra™ Online Slot Features

Cash Connection™ - Golden Book of Ra™(Greentube)
  • 5×3 Reels with 10 Paylines
  • 95% Theoretical RTP
  • High Variance/Volatility
  • Wild Symbols
  • Lock and Spin Feature
  • Four Progressive Jackpots
  • Free Spins Bonus
  • Gamble Feature
  • Min-Max Bets 0.10–50.00
  • Max Win 25,280x
  • John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin (Pragmatic Play)

The final slot to make our top 5 is a title that launched just today from Pragmatic Play and is another that is the latest from a popular series. In fact, it is the sixth title in the John Hunter series and is a direct sequel to John Hunter and the Book of Tut. This slot has the same title but with Respin added on at the end. That also describes the main difference between the two, as you now have a Mystery Respins feature to enjoy.

Above the reels, you will notice a randomly chosen Mystery Symbol. This change randomly every few spins. Whenever you land that symbol on three separate reels, it will expand to fill those reels. You receive a respin of the remaining reels. If you land that symbol on one or both reels, it expands to fill those reels too. You then receive a payout for the symbols you landed. The great thing about the mystery symbol is that it doesn’t have to be on a payline. You are paid using a pay anywhere mechanic.

While that is a great addition, it is the ‘Book’ symbol that remains the star of the show. Not only does this symbol pay when landing 3, 4, or 5 times in any position on the reels, it will trigger a free spins feature. You receive 10 free spins and get to choose the symbol you want as your Mystery symbol. The Mystery Symbols feature is also active during this feature, which means you can really pull in some big wins. Plus, every time you land 3 or more book symbols, you receive another 10 free spins.

If you prefer to gamble or just want to get straight into the free spins feature, you can use the buy bonus to purchase it. You will receive 10 free spins in return for 100x your stake. Of course, that ups the stakes as you now have to win at least 100x your stake to go into profit. Sound like a slot you would enjoy? We certainly do – so much so that we are giving it a full review tomorrow. Check back in our news to catch that!

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: When you land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on a payline, you will win a payout. The 5-symbol combinations for each of those symbols is: John Hunter (100x), Pharoah (50x), Sphinx (30x), Scarab (30x), Ace/King (10x),Queen/Jack/Ten (5x).

  • Captain’s Quest Treasure IslandTM (BetSoft)

Set sail for the Caribbean seas and join pillaging pirates to earn your share of the plunder. BetSoft never disappoints with its pristine 3D and animated slots. Captain’s Quest Treasure Island 5-reel and 3-row video slot brings yet another captivating new casino game title to BetSoft online casinos.

Raise the sails and get the reels spinning to land treasure combinations across 10 pay lines. On your swashbuckling voyage, you’ll run into wild reels with nudges, wilds stacked 3 symbols high, huge multipliers, Treasure Reels, plus a free spin bonus you can either land via scatters or through a buy feature. With all this combined, you could land a mammoth win of up to 25,280x your spin bet.

The nudging wilds feature will come in handy as it takes the 3-stacked Pirate Captain wild symbols to form a wild reel. This happens when the stack lands partially on the reel, the entire stack will nudge into place. If you have 3 Pirate Captain wilds on a reel, this will trigger 10 free spins, which come with multipliers that can be worth 40x or more. Also, nudging reels with tacked wilds will remain active during the free spins bonus game, however, they do not retrigger free spins.

You can also buy your way into the free spins bonus for the following amounts:

  • For 78.5x your bet, you get 10 free spins with 3 wild reels
  • For 138x your bet, you get 10 free spins with 4 wild reels
  • For 244x your bet, you get 10 free spins with 5 wild reels

All ‘Wild Reel’ triggering the free spins bonus will become ‘Treasure Reels’ – these will begin with an x2 multiplier. Furthermore, if a wild symbol lands on a ‘Treasure Reel’, the multiple will increase by +1. Each time a combination passes through a ‘Treasure Reel’, the multiplier on the reel applies. If a winning combination passes through multiple ‘Treasure Reels’ multipliers will stack. For example, if reels 2-3-4 have ‘Treasure Reels’ with 2x, 5x and 6x, respectively, and you land a 4-symbol win, the total multiplier applied to the win is 2x5x6 = 60x multiplier.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: When you spin in 3, 4, or 5 alike symbols on a pay line from left to right across consecutive reels you’ll get paid. The spin bet multipliers for 5-symbol wins are as follows: The Pirate Captain (10x), Treasure Chest (7.5x), The Helm – wheel (5x), Parrot (4x), Telescope (3x), Diamonds Compass (2.5x), Hearts Compass (2x), Spades Compass (1x), Clubs Compass (1x).
