In this Week 48 New Casino Games Report, you will find out exactly what each of those new releases was. Most were once again video slots, but you will also find that a new live casino game from Ezugi and a couple of virtual table games were also launched last week.

In terms of the developers busy launching new titles, there were some big names. Among the most prominent iGaming brands were the likes of Play’n Go, Endorphina, Wazdan, Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, NoLimit City, Stakelogic, and Wizard Games.

Top 5 Video Slot Releases – Week 48 New Casino Games Report

As always, picking the top 5 from so many great titles proved ever so difficult. That is why this week we are changing things up a little bit. To the right, you will find 6 new games that came extremely close to making our top 5. There were just one or two votes separating them from making our top 5. They didn’t quite make it but make sure you check them out, regardless.

As for those that did make our top 5, you can read a mini-review of each of them below. There is a Christmas-themed title from Pragmatic Play’s popular Big Bass series of slots, two new book slots from Spinomenal, and a title apiece from Wazdan and Endorphina.

• Crystal Skull (Endorphina)

Endorphina takes you on an Indiana Jones-style adventure in search of the last secret crystal skull antiquities on earth. And legend has it they are proof of alien life on earth once protected by the Mayan culture.

All this action neatly fits into a modern 3D video slot with animations, awesome sound effects and 2 bonus games. It is yet another top-rated video slot by Endorphina that makes it into our number-one spot in our Week 48 New Casino Games Report.

To begin the hunt to unravel myth or fact, you’ll start spinning on a 5×3 slot with 25 pay lines to line up wins. Crystal Skulls are the slot’s expanding wild symbol substituting for any of the 9 regular symbols. When it lands on reels 2, 3 or 4, it will expand up and down to create a wild reel.

If you hit the female explorer/archaeologist 5 times on a pay line, you’ll be in for a whopping 400x multiplier. The wild symbols can also help you complete this huge symbol combination win. More wins can be found via the slot’s scatter, which can land anywhere in view 3, 4 or 5 times to trigger 2x, 10x or 50x multipliers of your spin bet.

There is also an ancient ‘Mayan Gold Coin’ bonus scatter symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 kick-starting the Crystal Skull online slot’s ‘Bonus Game Wheel of Fortune’. The wheel will spin, and you could land a multiplier worth 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x or 25x your spin bet. You can either take the multiplier or opt to spin again. You’ll have a total of 3 attempts to bring in the highest win.

If the Wheel of Fortune hits the ‘Bonus’, the ‘Treasure Hunt Bonus’ will trigger. You’ll enter a game with 5 levels, each of them containing 5 stone masks or gems. On levels 1 to 3, you will select 1 stone mask per level to reveal gems with multipliers. At levels 4 and 5, you will choose masks to reveal artefacts, which are worth more than gems. At levels 4 and 5, if you reveal a snake and it attacks, your bonus is over. However, it turns into an artefact, then you move to the next level. If a snake didn’t attack you, the round ends when you have 1 multiplier per level. All multipliers won via the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Treasure Hunt’ are then accumulated and your final win is paid.

Regardless of how you win, whether it’s via the bonus, scatter multiplier or combination wins, you can gamble your winnings using the slot’s double-up feature.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 9 regular symbols and a scatter multiplier. The ‘Female explorer/archaeologist’ pays 400x your spin bet and can pay when 2, 3, 4, or 5 lands on a pay line. After this, 5-symbol combinations pay as follows: Pyramid Scatter (50x), Mayan Gold Statue (40x), Mayan God (30x), Snake (20x), A (4x), K (4x), Q (4x), J (4x), 10 (4x).

• Burning Sun^TM Hold the Jackpot Sticky to Infinity^TM (Wazdan)

The Burning Sun^TM video slot rolls in some of Wazdan’s most exciting features into a red-hot slot that will take you into the solar winds and burning plasmas of our planet’s Sun. You’ll spin your way into big wins via the exciting Pay Anywhere mechanic and the Hold the Jackpot with Sticky to Infinity^TM repsins bonus game.

On the reels, there is a 4×4 grid, which Wazdan depicts as 16 pay lines. Just to be clear, the developer counts all 16 positions on the grid for symbols as pay lines as this slot uses the popular ‘Pay Anywhere’ reel mechanic. You’ll need at least 10 symbols in view on the grid to trigger a combination payout. For the highest win during the base game, a single spin will need to fill the grid with the Burning 7 symbol, which will land you up to 200x your spin bet.

While you roll in combination wins, your key objective is to land bonus and/or mystery symbols to trigger the Hold the Jackpot with Sticky to Infinity^TM feature respins bonus game where you have a shot at landing up to 1,000x your spin bet via a Grand jackpot win. Plus, there are Mini (20x), Mino (50x)’, and Major (150x) jackpots up for grabs as well as 0.5x to 50x multipliers.

During the base game mystery and bonus symbols will spin into the action. If 5 land, they will remain sticky for the next spin. However, to trigger the Hold the Jackpot with Sticky to Infinity^TM you’ll need 6 or more mystery or bonus symbols. Triggering symbols will remain sticky while a new set of symbols cascades into the reels for 3 respins. You’ll now have ‘Mystery Symbols’, ‘Mystery Jackpot Symbols’ and ‘Multiplier Orbs’ to land in the vacant positions on the grid.

If any of these symbols stick to one of the spare grid positions, the respins will reset to 3. Only when 3 respins produce no new symbols will the Hold the Jackpot respins feature end. All mystery symbols will reveal a multiplier between 0.5x and 50x, while the Mystery Jackpot symbols will reveal the ‘Mini’, ‘Minor’ or ‘Major’ jackpot. All multipliers are subsequently accumulated to give you a final ‘Big Win’ payout.

Even better than rolling in multipliers and mystery multipliers/jackpots, if all 16 reels fill up with symbols, you win the Grand jackpot of 1,000x your spin bet.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: Landing 16 symbols anywhere in view will pay the following multipliers of your total bet – Burning 7 (200x), Burning Star (100x), Burning A (50x), Burning K (40x), Burning Q (30x, Burning J (20x), Burning 10 (15x), Burning 9 (10x).

• Book of Champions – World Glory (Spinomenal)

Keeping up with FIFA World Cup 2022 theme, Spinomenal has released its Book of Champions, a 5×3 reel 10 pay line video slots, which is also another perfect Book of Ra video slot alternative, but with a football theme rather than the usual Egyptian adventures we are used to.

What’s more, this is a sequel of previous Spinomenal slots, so it’s already been tried, tested, and approved by the online casino video slot enthusiast community.
The previous versions of this slot were Book Of Champions Reloaded (5 pay lines + 10,000x max win) and, well, you have probably already guessed it, Book Of Champions (10 pay lines + 5,000x max win). While the ‘Reloaded’ sequel version is a 5-pay line slot, the new Book of Champions – World Glory returns to 10 pay lines with a 5,000x spin bet multiplier max win. For all your bonus buy players out there, all three versions of this slot come with a feature buy option. However, this latest release comes with a slightly better RTP than its predecessors.

When you get started, you will need to pick a team to lead you to victory. Or you can wait for 3+ scatter symbols to roll in to trigger 10 free spins. FYI, when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters anywhere in view, you will also win a spin bet multiplier of 2x, 25x, or 250x the spin bet.

And as with the tradition of most ‘Book-themed’ online slots, there’s an expanding symbol in the bonus game that ‘Pays Anywhere’. If you land the ‘Number 7’ football shirt as the expanding symbol, this could result in the max win of 5,000x should it land on all 5 reels and expand to cover all 25 positions on the reels. Of course, this could also happen with any symbol chosen to give you payouts across all 10 pay lines.

Just to add yet another ‘Book’ tradition to the fantastic Book of Champions – World Glory video slot by Spinomenal, the Book is not only a spin bet multiplier and free spins bonus trigger, but it is also the slot’s wild symbol.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There is 1 scatter and 9 regular symbols. 5 symbol combinations pay as follows: Number 7 Football Shirt (50x), Football (20x), Football Boots (7.5x), Refs Whistle (7.5x), A (1.5x), K (1.5x), Q (1x), J (1x), 10 (1x).

• Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch (Pragmatic Play)

Pragmatic Play, arguably the most prolific iGaming developer in the online gambling industry, is another that has recently jumped on the Christmas bandwagon. Featuring a five-reel layout, the Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch is one of the new additions to Pragmatic Play’s Fishin’-themed slot series. The game is inspired by a cold winter day and features a variety of fish, a bearded fisherman, and Christmas trees.

When you power up the slot, you will notice that the action now takes place on ice. You watch as Eskimos try to catch fish while ice fishing. The Bigger Bass Blizzard – Christmas Catch slot is available on desktop and mobile devices. It has a variety of features, including wild substitutions, a Buy feature, and a free spins feature. The Buy feature allows players to buy their way into the free spins feature at a cost of 100x their stake.

During the free spins round, you can earn money by landing three or more Money Collect symbols. These symbols carry instant multiplier prizes. These multipliers can increase to up to 4,000 times your bet, depending on how many Money Collect symbols appear.

The Money Collect symbol also acts as a money symbol in the base game and is a powerful tool for maximising your wins. If you land five Money Collect symbols, you will be awarded the total value of your line bet. In addition, each time a Wild icon appears on the reels, it becomes a Money Collect symbol and collects the prizes of money symbols.

In addition, players can unlock extra spins with increased multipliers during the free spins feature. When you collect fish symbols, you move one place on the grid above the reels. Every 4 positions gives 10 more free spins with an increased multiplier. The first milestone gives you a 2x multiplier while you also get 3x and 10x once you collect enough money symbols.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers: There are 10 regular symbols, a wild/collector symbol, and a scatter symbol. You need to land a minimum of 3 matching symbols on a payline to create a winning combination. The 5-symbol combinations pay as follows: Eskimo (200x), Fishing Rod (100x), Fishing Float (50x), Tackle Box (50x), A, K, Q, J, 10 (10x).

• Book of Piggy Bank (Spinomenal)

Book of Piggy Bank is part of the Classics series from Spinomenal, the leading iGaming content provider. That series also contains the Mega Piggy Bank and Golden Piggy Bank video slots. In this latest title, Spinomenal has taken the ‘Book’ approach made famous in the popular Play’n Go title, Book of Dead. That means the wild symbol also acts as a scatter symbol that triggers the main bonus feature. The reel format on this video slot is a 6×3 grid that offers 10 paylines.

As for the theme of the Book of Piggy Bank slot, it becomes obvious as soon as you load it up. It is all about money and hopefully, you will win plenty if you get lucky enough. The traditional book symbol that acts as wild by substituting for all regular symbols while it doubles as a scatter symbol aids the base game. 3 of those symbols anywhere in view will pay 2x, 4 will pay 25x, 5 hold a payout of 250x and 6 pays a whopping 500x your stake. On top of winning a payout, 3 wild/scatter symbols will trigger 10 free spins.

It is that free spins round that really gives you a chance to win your own cash to put in a piggy bank. Before each spin, a random symbol is assigned as an expanding symbol. Whenever that symbol lands and creates a win, it will expand to fill its reel. That can lead to multiple payline wins on a single spin. You can even re-trigger additional spins by landing 3 or more scatters on any of your spins.

The gamblers among you will also appreciate a Buy Bonus feature that lets you purchase the free spins feature. It costs 106x your stake, which means you need to win at least that to make some profit.

Combination Spin Bet Multipliers:The Book of Piggy Bank slot game has eight standard paying symbols and a Wild/Scatter symbol. You need to land three, four, five, or six matching symbols on an active payline to form winning combinations. The 6-symbol combinations pay as follows: Cash Symbol (10,000x), Purse Symbol (4,000x), Blue Gem (1,500x), Safe (1,500x), Ace/King (300x, and Queen/Jack/Ten (200x).
