Iron Dog Studio – Feeding Fury 

Take a deep dive into the latest slot from Iron Dog Studio, which uses a 5×3 reel slot with 10-paylines to offer a maximum win of up to x5,434 the player’s stake. This game has medium-high volatility and, depending on jurisdiction, an RTP range of 88.10, 94.07 and 96.11 per cent.

Alex Ratcliffe, Chief Product Officer at 1X2 Network, stated: “We’re proud of our colleagues at Iron Dog Studio because they’re turning into something of a hit factory. Feeding Fury has all the hallmarks of an Iron Dog game. It’s wildly creative and highly original but retains those core elements so beloved of slot fans.”

With the feed or die feature, players are taken to an empty reel set that has a collector shark symbol across the middle reel. 

Players are given three spins to land as many fish symbols on the reels as possible, with every fish resetting the number of spins to three. 

The collector symbols will collect all fish symbol values into the bonus game winnings, and when enough fish symbols have been collected the collector symbol will grow to a bigger size. 

Each time the collector shark grows in size, a bonus game multiplier increases that will be applied to the final payout once the game mode has finished. 

Furthermore, a wild shark attack feature can be activated during the base game mode. This causes shark wilds to swim left across the reels, upgrading symbols into wilds. 

BGaming – Potion Spells 

Prepare for a concoction of bonus enhancements with BGaming’s latest stirring slot title. This release has a 7×7 reel slot with cluster-pays and a maximum win of up to x12,000 the player’s stake, in addition to high volatility with an RTP of 96.25 per cent.

“As   one   of   the   leading   slots   providers,   our   priority   is   to   promote   a   diverse   gaming experience   through   constant   dynamics,   feature-packed   gameplay,   and   eye-catching design,” explained Yulia Aliakseyeva, BGaming’s co-CPO. 

“The BGaming portfolio has expanded to include over 90 vibrant titles with the addition of Potion Spells, and we are excited to bring this game to players worldwide, offering a new level of excitement and engagement.”

Symbols that land in a square formation of four will transform into a giant 2×2 symbol. Any wins formed with these large symbols will pay double. 

Backlit symbols are also available, placing a light behind standard symbols. When these backlit symbols disappear after a cascading win, they will guarantee wilds to drop in. 

To the side of the reels is a bubbling pot meter that fills up with each consecutive win. The meter has four levels, with each activated level awarding a feature. 

Four features are available, with each filled meter level awarding a random feature. 

Detonation is one feature, causing three to six symbols on the reels to transform into wilds that destroy four symbols around them. These destroyed symbols will not provide a payout but make way for new symbols. 

Another feature is promotion, which upgrades a randomly chosen low value symbol into identical higher-paying symbols. Separation, a third feature, places a wild in the centre of the board while changing symbols around it into identical symbols. 

Additionally, reduction causes low value symbols to disappear without payment, making way for new symbols to drop in and increase the win potential. 

Relax Gaming – Horror Hotel

Check in to Relax Gaming’s latest spooky slot title, a 6×6 reel slot with cluster-pays and a maximum win of up to x20,000 the player’s stake. This release has an RTP of 96.18 per cent and high volatility.

Shelley Hannah, Director of Casino Products at Relax Gaming, said: “We’re delighted to be generating some real momentum with our 2023 content roll-out following the launch of our latest title, Horror Hotel. The cluster payout mechanic and mystery symbol feature make for an unbeatable combination that players are sure to enjoy.

“Following on from the launch of Grim the Splitter earlier in the month, we are keeping the spooky theme in place, ensuring players remain engaged with high-quality content that is packed with thrilling features.”

Using a cluster-pays mechanic, all wins are formed by clusters of five or more identical symbols landing adjacently. 

This is also a cascading wins title, meaning that symbols in a winning combination will disappear after providing their payout to make way for new symbols and increase the win potential of an already successful spin.

On any random winning spin, a mystery symbol feature can be activated. This cause all winning symbols to provide their payout before turning into a mystery symbol, while all non-winning symbols disappear around them.

These mystery symbols will reveal identical symbols to give the player a chance of landing an enhanced win. 

During the free spins, wild symbols are guaranteed to land on every spin and a progressive win multiplier is active, which increases with every spin. 

Wizard Games – Sultan’s Palace Fortune

Hunt for treasure in a Sultan’s palace with Wizard Games’ latest slot, a three-reel title with nine-paylines and a maximum win of up to x5,476 the player’s bet. This game uses low volatility with an RTP of 96.06 per cent.

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, commented: “Sultan’s Palace Fortune immerses players into a world of untold riches, combining a fluid reel mechanic with a respins mode, as well as three thrilling additional bonus games.

“We strive to create innovative, exciting games that bring diverse themes to market, and we’re very pleased with the potential of our portfolio as it continues to expand.”

Three scatter gems can drop into play, with green, red and blue colours. Landing a combination of three scatters on the same spin will activate the sultan’s treasure game mode. 

With the sultan’s treasure feature, players are given three spins on an empty reel set, with each scatter that drops in resetting the number of spins to three. 

Players will aim to land as many bonus symbols, which offer between x1 and x10 the player’s stake, and jackpot symbols on the reels during this feature. All symbols on the reels will payout their values at the end of the game mode. 

Each gem scatter that drops in will also award its own bonus mini game. Blue scatters award between two and 10 respins with an expanded sticky wild while red scatters award between five and nine respins with randomly placed wilds guaranteed on every spin. 

Furthermore, green scatters will provide respins until a win has been achieved. This bonus mini game then applies a x30 multiplier to that win. 

Evoplay – Mega Greatest Catch Bonus Buy

Reel in some fishy wins in Evoplay’s latest angling slot title, which uses a 5×4 reel slot with 12-paylines and a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s bet. This game has medium-high volatility with an RTP of 96.03 per cent.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, noted: “We’re thrilled to be able to showcase this new title to our players and the new bonus buy feature is a truly unique innovation to be able to bring to our portfolio.

“Mega Greatest Catch has proved itself to be hugely successful in its own right but with striking visuals and exciting gameplay, Mega Greatest Catch Bonus Buy will be a fantastic catch for our players.”

With the free spins feature, fish amounts that appear on the board at the same time as fisherman symbols will provide their bet amounts to the free spins payout. 

These fish symbols can appear with values between x2 and x2,000 the player’s bet. 

Every fourth fisherman wild that lands during the bonus rounds will provide players with an additional 10 spins with an increased multiplier to be applied to the free spins payout, starting at x2 and going to x3 and x10 when it is repeated for the second and third time respectively. 

When wild symbols appear on the reels without fish prize amounts to collect, the game’s dynamite feature can be randomly activated. This causes between three and six fish symbols to be placed across the reels and collected.

Pragmatic Play – Spin & Score

Getting in the mood for the World Cup, Pragmatic Play’s latest slot uses six reels and tumble wins to offer players up to 117,640 ways to win. It is a high-volatility slot with an RTP of 96.97 per cent. 

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, explained: “Spin & Score Megaways arrives as the popularity of football is at an all-time high with international tournaments on the horizon.  

“The slot offers multiple ways for players to unlock big win potential, whether that be through the big wild feature, increasing a multiplier in the free spins round, or using the Megaways mechanic to unlock the maximum ways possible.

“Offering varying ways to win across six ever changing reels, this title is ready to kick-off some great entertainment.”

The game includes a tumble feature that removes any winning symbols from play and replaces them with new symbols, allowing for additional wins to be made.

Furthermore, the title also includes a big wild feature. This is a big wild symbol, which does not pay, but takes two horizontal positions on the screen and can appear only on the top row of reels two, three, four and five. 

Whenever the big wild hits fully, all symbols on the reels below it are transformed into wilds. If this occurs through a tumble, the big wild changes to a new position on the top row and all symbols on the reels below it are transformed into wilds. 

At least four trophy scatter symbols are required to gain access to the free spins round which awards 10 free spins. These can then be collected or gambled for the chance to be awarded additional spins. 

Each win gained during the round increases the overall multiplier by x1 and this feature can be retriggered by landing three scatter symbols awarding an extra four spins.   

Push Gaming – Mystery Mission – To The Moon

With a 6×4 reel-set, Push Gaming’s latest slot takes players to the final frontier with 20-paylines and a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s bet. This title has an RTP of 96.25 per cent and a high volatility. 

James Marshall, CEO at Push Gaming, stated: “Mystery Mission – To The Moon builds upon a fan favourite title and the massive win potential of the mystery stacks feature present in the original.

“We have expanded the reels, introduced an ante bet for the first time in a Push Gaming title and packaged the slot in a fun and engaging theme. We are anticipating that fans of the original and new players of this series will adore the innovative mechanics it brings to the table.” 

Wild full moons can drop into play on all reels, substituting for all symbols other than the space chute mystery symbols. These wilds also work as scatters, triggering the free spins feature if three or more land on the reels at once. 

With the free spins feature, any mystery chute that lands on the reels will nudge to fill their respective reels no matter how many are in play. These stacked chutes will then stay sticky on the reels for the duration of the spins.

Finally, mystery space chute symbols can land on the reels, covering between 1×1 and 1×4 spaces on the board. 

If three or more of these space chutes appear on the same spin, they will expand to cover their entire reels before revealing random identical symbols on all cells that they cover. They can reveal all symbols other than the wild moon scatters. 

Nolimit City – Serial

Halloween may have been and gone, but Nolimit City is keeping the spooky spirit alive with its latest 5×3 reel, 243-winways slot. This serial killer slot title has an RTP of 96.07 per cent and a high volatility. 

Per Lindheimer, Product owner at Nolimit City said: ”To put it lightly, Serial is not for the faint of heart. This is the disgusting world of chainsaw murders, body bags, corpses, and first-person victim hunting. 

“From the artistic direction to the brutal volatility and game mechanics, we truly went all out with this one, and have raised that bar to where Nolimit City can go. Welcome, to Serial.”

Although this is a 5×3 reel slot, there are two horizontal enhancement reels above and below the board. With every successful spin, a respin is granted, opening the enhanced reels for the first column on the board. 

This respin sees all symbols that formed the triggering win stay sticky on the reel-set to increase the respin’s payout potential. 

If another win occurs after this enhanced respin, another will be granted with the next set of enhanced horizontal reels unlocked. While these new enhanced cells will usually depict a low, medium or high value symbol, they can also reveal special features to increase the game’s win potential.

One feature the enhanced reels can reveal is the xWays bonus. This causes two to four identical paying symbols to land into play. If two xWays symbols land on multiplier unlocked enhanced reel cells, they will all reveal the same symbol

Nudged wilds are another feature that can be awarded, landing a stacked wild onto the screen that will nudge to fill out an entire reel. Each space it nudges over will increase a wild multiplier by a value of x1, which will be applied to any subsequent wins.

On the fifth reel, xSplit wild symbols can land into play, appearing as a x2 multiplier wild. This splits all symbols on its row into two, including scatters, xWays and Nudging wild symbols. 

Infectious xWays symbols can drop into play on the fifth reel via the enhanced horizontal reels. Like xWays symbols, it will place identical symbols across the board, however this special variant causes other present symbols that match that symbol to expand and increase the number of win ways.

Blueprint Gaming – D10S

Blueprint Gaming has paid homage to a footballing legend with its latest Diego Maradona-themed slot title that has a 5×3 reel set, 20-paylines and a maximum win of up to x50,000 the player’s bet. This is a medium volatility slot with an RTP of 95 per cent. 

Jo Purvis, Director of Key Accounts and Marketing UK at Blueprint Gaming, commented: “Like the player himself, D10S Maradona is something special. It’s been a pleasure to work on such a legendary brand and the resulting game is something we’re very proud of, paying homage to a sporting great.

“The win potential throughout is incredible and we’re sure players are going to love the fast gameplay and score big wins with one of the greatest footballers of all time.”

When a D10S symbol lands on the fifth reel, it will expand to reveal one of four Maradona pictures, representing the three clubs and Argentina. 

If Barcelona Maradona appears, all cash values on the board will be collected, whereas Napoli Maradona will award all cash values while adding an extra cash boost to the payout. 

If Maradona appears in Boca Junior colours, a free respin will be gifted with all cash values staying sticky on the reels. If any additional cash values drop in around these symbols another respin will occur. Once no more respins can be gifted, the sum of all cash values will be awarded.  

When the D10S symbol reveals an Argentina-playing Maradona, all cash values will be collected and enhanced by a multiplier of up to x5. 

If three scatters land to trigger the free spins bonus game mode, 10 spins are awarded to the player. The cash collecting features stay active for these spins, however any cash values that appear without a D10S symbol on the fifth reel will be attributed to a collection above the reels that can eventually be obtained if a D10S appears on another free spin. 

With every free spins feature, the final spin will guarantee a D10S maradona symbol to collect the value of all cash value symbols obtained throughout the duration of the game mode. 

Iron Dog Studios – Rum & Raiders

Set sail on the high seas with Iron Dog Studios’ latest pirate-themed title. With a medium-high volatility and an RTP of 96.08 per cent, this release offers a maximum win of up to x25,000 the player’s stake using a 5×4 reel set with 40-paylines. 

John Foster, Commercial Manager at iGG White Labels, stated: ‘’We’re delighted to partner up with Iron Dog Studio, part of 1X2 Network, to release Rum & Raiders as our latest exclusive. Working with the 1X2 team has been a pleasure and we look forward to seeing Rum & Raiders bring in excellent results across our MGA White Label sites.”

In the broadside bonus game mode, players are awarded with five cannonballs that are randomly shot at treasure chests on the reels. Behind these chests are stake multipliers, skull symbols or extra cannonballs. 

Destroying a crate with a stake multiplier behind it will award that multiplied bet amount at the end of the feature. Revealing a skull symbol will double all multipliers that are present on the reels. 

Extra cannonball symbols award one more round with five more cannon shots. If all symbols in one reel are destroyed, a bonus five-high reel will appear to the right of the board, which can happen up to two times.

If a player manages to destroy all symbols on the increased reel-set, a multiplier of x100 is added to the win total as the complete payout is awarded and the feature ends.

With the hold and win game mode, players are awarded an initial three spins as only random bet multiplier values and special feature symbols can land on the reels. Each symbol that drops into play will reset the number of hold and win spins to three. 

At the start of the feature, the triggering scatters will transform into bet multipliers. 

Players will hope to land as many bet multipliers on the reels as possible, as at the end of the game mode, all showcased bet multipliers are tallied up and applied to the player’s stake. 

James Baxandall, Account Management Team Lead at 1X2 Network, added: “We’re incredibly excited to see Rum & Raiders make its debut by way of iGaming Group’s first-class collection of white label partners. We’re certain players will enjoy everything it has to offer, and we look forward to working with iGG on future releases.”

The London-based games developer detailed that market entry in Ontario falls under its wider growth strategy to expand its suite of slots and table games content into non-European regulated jurisdictions. 

Included in the launch are its Wolf Strike, Blazing 777s, Battle Maidens, Battle Maidens Cleopatra, Book of Ba’al and Phoenix Inferno titles, developed by the 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries. 

Rory Kimber, Account Management and Marketing Director at 1X2 Network, said: “Ontario promises to be one of the largest online casino markets in North America, so it made absolute sense for 1X2 Network as a leading provider of premium slot and table game content to enter the province.”

Ontario marks the second Canadian market where 1X2 has secured a presence, following on from a supply agreement with Loto-Québec for provision of its full gaming suite. 

1X2 first secured its partnership with the Quebec state lottery and gaming provider in 2010, and enhanced its agreement with the firm earlier this year to offer its Branded Megaways mechanic in the province. 

The firm has further laid out plans for a future roadmap of new titles designed to ‘appeal to player preferences’ in Canada, with a rollout set to commence shortly. 

“Having gained experience in delivering our games to players in Canada via our partnership with Loto-Québec, we know exactly what it takes to engage, entertain and excite players, and the suite of content that we will launch in Ontario has been designed to do just that,” Kimber continued.

“It is great to see that some of the biggest brands in the market are planning to integrate our content into their game lobbies, and we look forward to seeing players in Ontario enjoy the thrilling experience that each title has to offer.”

Outside of North America, 1X2 holds certifications in the UK, Malta, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, Sweden, Spain, Colombia, Italy, Romania and Greece.

This has seen Reid, who joined the company in November 2012, take the lead on the direction and strategy of the company, and take on responsibility for the overall management of 1X2 and its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries.

Here, CasinoBeats quizzes Reid on the executive shuffle of the group, jurisdictions of interest moving forward, and getting into celebratory mood ahead of a significant anniversary.

CasinoBeats: How significant is this executive shift for 1X2 Network moving forward?

Kevin Reid: I believe that it gives us the best of both worlds. There were some elements of the role that I’d taken up as time had gone on, and this reshuffle gives us the chance to keep pushing on with the strategies that have led to such massive growth. 

Having Sean still involved in a product role means that we still have access to his experience and knowledge moving forward. It’s always significant when there’s a change at the very top of an organisation but we’re retaining the core of what got us to where we are, whilst giving us extra impetus to keep going forward. 

CB: How eager are you to get started? And what do you believe you will bring to the role?

KR: Of course, I’m extremely excited to get going. I’ve always felt a fresh surge of energy when I’ve taken a new role in my career and this time it is greater than ever. 

Although I have been in the same leadership team for a long period of time there are still elements I’d like to adjust and I’m hopeful I can get these implemented quickly. 

I think I bring a focus on commerciality to the role – this industry offers so much opportunity and I want to empower the team to go out and find the deals that work for both parties, whether that is customised games, joint projects, tenders etc! 

If it makes sense for us from a bottom line and resource perspective, then I want to get it going and leave nothing on the back burner. I have great support both from the leadership team around me and from the board to go and achieve our goals and I will be pushing hard to get us there in a timely fashion. 

CB: It was said that 1X2 is looking to enter “a multitude of new markets” in the next year, what regions are firmly on your radar? 

KR: Well nobody wins any prizes for guessing that the USA offers us a huge upside when we enter – for us it’s about moving there fast but also making sure we take a strategic approach to our entry. 

We’re also closing in on licenses for various other European territories, including Switzerland after the entire company worked hard to make sure we passed our ISO27001 certificate first time. 

Whilst our distribution is extremely wide already, there’s still more to add and places like Ontario, Portugal, Croatia and gaining our full Romanian license will allow us to spread our content even further. Our aim is to enter all regulated markets, we’re just deciding on the order that makes the most sense commercially.

CB: What does the company look for when potentially making entries into new jurisdictions?

KR: I think it’s an interesting balance, a new jurisdiction that many competitors haven’t entered yet means there’s more market share available but on the other hand a more established market is a proven entity that we can judge easier. 

Having partners that already operate in the market also is useful for allowing us to see the opportunities and the speed that they’re able to add us makes a difference. Overall, it’s a big jigsaw. 

We also assess whether our content fits the players there, for example, we have a strong selection of fruit based slots in our portfolio so if we know they take a large proportion of the market share then it makes sense for us to get in the market, ahead of one that would require more bespoke content development. 

CB: Can we expect any significant celebrations regarding the company’s 20-year anniversary? How would you assess the 1X2 Network journey so far?

KR: Definitely! Not least because our team are expecting them! We’re trying to see clients more and more after an obvious period of this being difficult but we’re also planning on running some specifically larger events to celebrate our big anniversary – look out for the 1X2 Network summer party! 

We’re also running specific promotions on a monthly basis for our clients, with a real mix of things in there. There’s plenty of new and exciting products coming out that I believe are fitting to come out in a big year for us but unfortunately, I’ll have to come back and talk about those a bit closer to the time. 

The journey so far has been a real rollercoaster. The thing that sets us aside is how many lead products we’ve had over the time, so we really do have a breadth of expertise. 

Also, in more recent times, adding some industry experience has offered us a fresh impetus and the ability to forge relationships with even more partners and push our best content even further. 

1X2 Network has been such a big part of my professional and personal life that the change of role brings up a lot of emotion. I can’t wait to speak to you in another year and I think you’ll see just how fast the progress we’re currently making is!

Reid, who joined the online casino content developer and aggregator in November 2012, will take on responsibility for the overall management of 1X2 Network and its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries.

Furthermore, he will also lead the direction and strategy as the company enters a multitude of new markets in the next year. He will remain supported by the senior commercial staff.

Reid commented: “I would like to thank Sean for his incredible contribution to the business and for making 1X2 Network into the leading content provider and aggregator that it is today.

“His shoes are certainly big ones to fill, but I believe we have phenomenal momentum behind the business, and I look forward to leading 1X2 Network into the next chapter of its success story.”

St John co-founded the business alongside Brian Reid in 2002, and has overseen both technical and product teams for the vast majority of his time at the helm. 

He is lauded as leading teams in the creation of virtual sports titles, aggregation systems, and slots, such as its suite of Megaways games, and will continue in a product role where he will oversee aspects of the content production and innovation moving forward.

“It has been an honour to serve as CEO of 1X2 Network for 20 years and to watch the business grow from a small but ambitious studio into a tier one provider with several subsidiaries and portfolio of award-winning content,” he explained.

“From day one we have pursued a strategy of creating games that will engage and entertain players, and to make those games available to operators in regulated markets. It has proved to be a very successful strategy and one that I am proud to have overseen.

“The time is now right from me to step down from the role of CEO, and I look to the future knowing that the business is great hands with Kevin stepping into the top job.

“I am delighted to continue assisting the company during such an exciting period of growth, and have full confidence that we have the right team in place to maintain and extend our current progress”

The collaboration between the two entities will see the suite of content from 1X2 Network’s 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries become accessible to iGP’s operator partners.

Rory Kimber, account management and marketing director at 1X2 Network, noted: “iGP has built a reputation for providing a cutting-edge online casino platform and a game lobby packed with the best content providers in the market. That this now includes 1X2 Network is testament to the popularity of our titles.

“We are particularly excited to be offering our Branded Megaways concept to iGP’s operators and for them to be able to leverage the huge upsides they offer including unrivalled levels of player engagement and increased loyalty.

“This really is a milestone partnership for 1X2 Network and especially in terms of increasing our reach among Malta-licensed operators.”

In addition to the aforementioned details, the deal will also witness the integration of virtual sports games from 1X2 Network’s strategic partner Leap Gaming. 

Furthermore, as stated above, the link-up will also provide operators powered by iGP to access the provider’s Branded Megaways concept that allows companies to launch Megawyas slots “quickly and cost-effectively” featuring its own logos, colours and branding. 

John Foster, sales and game aggregation manager at iGamingPlatform, added: “When it comes to developing content that engages and entertains players, 1X2 Network can count itself among the best in the business which is why this is an important integration for iGamingPlatform and our partners.

“We pride ourselves on offering a market-leading game portfolio and the addition of games from 1X2gaming, Iron Dog Studios and Leap, plus the option to provide Branded Megaways titles, strengthens the quality of the content we make available to operators using our platform.”

KISS: Rock the Reels – Play’n Go

Hit the road with Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman and the Catman in this 2x3x4x4x3x2, 576-payline slot which includes various features along with a max win of x50,000 the original bet.

Within the base game, the Lock and Load feature is randomly activated. Once it does, reels one and six, two and five, or three and four will synchronise to display the same symbols. 

Additionally, the Drive Me Mad feature, similar to the previous, is randomly activated. This mode adds a wild to the grid, and all wilds have a x2 multiplier. This feature is not active during the free spins.

“We’ve loved working on the innovations within this game,” said Charlotte Miliziano, head of games at Play’n Go. “The way the lighting animations react to the audio makes this such an immersive experience for the player as it feels like they’re actually at the gig!

“Getting the animations to react to the audio within the game has been a real achievement, we haven’t seen it that much in the industry – so far.”

Take the Kingdom – Betsoft Gaming

Enter the dragon’s lair and brave the fire-breathing beast in this 5×5, 100-payline slot which offers a max win of x3,640 the original bet and offers a buy feature. 

Within the base game, each time the player spins the reel, a fireball countdown timer decreases from seven to zero. During this time, the dragon symbols that land will convert into fireball wilds which, after the seven spins, will turn wild. 

Moreover, if the player lands three scatter symbols on the reels it will activate the free spins mode which awards the player with 13 free spins. 

“Take the Kingdom is a fabulous addition to the series. It blends a medieval ‘knights and dragons’ theme with our trademark cinematic graphics and original features,” sated Anna Mackney, head of account management, Betsoft Gaming. “We are sure this will quickly become another hit with our players.”

Christmas Tree 2 – True Lab

True Lab has turned the lights on its successor to its 2020 festive-themed slot title with this 2-3-4-5-6-7, cluster pays slot which awards players when they get a cluster of five or more identical symbols and offers a max win of x15,000 the original bet. 

As part of the game, a playful snowman throws snowballs into low and medium symbols at the beginning of a random spin. The hit symbol and all of its copies then turn into golden wilds. 

Moreover, if the player has no winning clusters left, a sudden blizzard sweeps the grid and leaves between three to nine symbols, transforming into one of the regular symbols, a wild or scatter. 

Within the base game, when three scatter symbols appear on the reels in a single spin it activates the Miracle Spin. Every subsequent scatter after the third awards an additional Miracle Spin.

Britain’s Got Talent Megaways – Iron Dog Studio

With the approvals, the company is permitted to offer online slots and table games from its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries to operators licensed in the Dutch market – which officially opened its digital doors at the beginning of the month.

Demon Academy: Multi Themes – Arcadem & Vulkan Vegas

Enter a school year full of demonic students and where, though the seasons may change, the devilish nature of demons never will in this 5×3, 243-payline slot which includes synchronised reels, wilds and seasonal changes.

In Demon Academy Multi Themes, players can get the maximum winnings of 347x the original bet. Within the title, the symbols and background of the academy change with the seasons from Spring to Summer to Autumn to Winter. 

“Demon Academy: Multi themes’ gives our players the chance to step into the demonic world and experience life in a school made up of various demons, beginning from the heat of summer and going to the cold of winter,” commented Phillip Douglas, director of gaming at Arcadem.

Rock the Reels Megaways – Iron Dog Studio

Iron Dog Studio brings rock and roll to the world of slots with this 6×2 video slot – able to expand to 6×7 – with up to 200,704 paylines. The game features normal and multiplier wilds, scatters and free spins.

Starring rock band, Freddie and the Pride, Rock the Reels Megaways offers wins of up to x50,000 the player’s stake, and introduces an all new Bonus Upgrader feature, giving players the opportunity to buy free spins with a higher frequency of the game features. 

During the base game, each band member takes their turn to appear in the spotlight, awarding players with a variety of features.

The lion, Freddie Roar, turns symbols into multiplier wilds which increase during the free spins. Warthog, Dirty Axel, turns standard symbols into wilds using his bass guitar. Lead guitarist, Treble the flamingo, turns symbols into the highest paying ones. Lastly, Ozzy Eight Hands the octopus, uses his tentacles to spread the symbols from the first reel throughout the game board.

“Rock the Reels Megaways is the first slot to feature our innovative Bonus Upgrader, which, combined with the game’s four bonus features, ensures there is plenty of big win potential,” said Rory Kimber, account management and marketing director at 1X2 Network.

Bellagio Fountains of Fortune – BetMGM

BetMGM has launched an exclusive slot game, entitled Bellagio Fountains of Fortune, leveraging the luxury resort and casino property band with this 5×3, 20-payline slot with features including free spins, cascading wins and wild symbols.

The scatter symbol appears as the blue fountain only landing on the fifth reel in both the base game and the free spins. The scatter explodes itself and the four low paying symbols after paylines have been evaluated, increasing the multiplier x1. If a reel is full of low-paying symbols, the complete reel will change into a stack gold fountain wild which remains active for one spin.

The gold fountain wild can substitute for all symbols except the scatter blue fountain. When four gold fountains and a blue fountain appear on a payline, a four of a kind payout is awarded for the “777” highest-paying symbol. Furthermore, when five gold fountains appear on a payline, the award is a five-of-a-kind payout for the 777. 

Symbol combinations defined by the paytable will trigger the cascading wins feature, activating the lowermost triangle in the free spins feature. All payline wins during the cascading feature are multiplied by the bet per line; after the win, winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones.

“Bellagio Fountains of Fortune marks the first game BetMGM has built in complete collaboration with both of our parent companies: Entain and MGM Resorts,” commented Matthew Sunderland, vice president of gaming at BetMGM.

“We set out to replicate a world-class slots experience through game icons, bespoke musical score, bonus features, and functionality and have achieved that goal. We expect that our players will fully embrace this incredible addition to the industry’s strongest gaming portfolio.”

Battle Dwarf – Japan Technicals Games

Players become Dwarfs and battle fire breathing dragons in a quest to protect their treasure in this 3×3, five-payline slot which includes a Battle mode and Treasure Rush feature. 

During the game, a reel with a lock will stop whilst other reels will spin again. When all three lock in place, the player will get into a battle.

Moreover, the title includes a Treasure Rush mode which results in treasure chest appearing on the reels more often than they would in the base. Additionally, players can gain one to 10 free spins depending on the chest that lands (silver or gold). 

The title also comes with a Ragnarok mode which has a higher level Treasure Rush in which the dwarf awakens a new power and battles a dragon after every 30 spins. 

Papaya Pop – Avatar UX

AvatarUX has taken fruit slots to a new level of glamour in this 5×3 slot with up to 118,098 paylines featuring a PopWins mechanic, unlimited free spins, a multiplier, a gamble wheel and Buy a Bonus. 

In the base game, the reel is able to expand to up to six symbols – and up to nine in the free spins mode. 

All reels must reach the maximum height of six symbols high in order to trigger the unlimited free spins mode, granting players with three spins – the count is reset for every winning spin. During the bonus round, the multiplier increases x1 with each new spin, from a base level of x2.

Players have the option before the free spins mode to gambe the unlimited free spins and are awarded with a higher starting multiplier and starting reels if they win, however, losing will negate the free spins. 

“Our PopWins collection has been an incredible success for us and we’re delighted at how it has been received by players all over the globe,” said Marcus Honney, managing director at AvatarUX.

“PapayaPop takes an art deco theme and adds even more excitement for players through the gamble wheel, where even bigger wins await for those who dare to risk it.”
