Low value symbols are represented by playing card royals, with Jack through to Ace, while wolves, eagles and mountain lions depict the medium value symbols.

High value symbols come in the form of bears and bison. If the correct number of matching symbols land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x2.5 and x250 the player’s bet.

Three bison wilds can also drop into play, appearing in colours of blue, green and red with respective multipliers of x2, x3 and x5. These wilds substitute for all symbols, other than the scatter, and will apply their multiplier values to any wins that they contribute to.

Additionally, scatter text symbols can appear, triggering nine, 12 or 15 free spins if three, four or five scatters land on the same spin respectively. 

Sea Treasure Deep Dive – OneTouch

Take the plunge in OneTouch’s new underwater slot release that offers win multipliers and free spins on a 5×3 reel slot with 20-paylines. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 95.98 per cent. 

Madis Raus, Head of OneTouch, stated: “Players can fully submerge themselves in this thrilling underwater hit as they dive for massive wins among colourful sea creatures.”

“Through this treasure-filled ocean adventure, slots fans will be able to experience the very best of OneTouch’s innovative content.”

Throughout the base game, a win multiplier meter sits beside the reels. When wilds contribute to a win in the base game, a submarine will travel down this meter to award a win multiplier for the wild win. 

This feature can also be triggered on random base game wins with no wilds involved. 

When having activated the free spins game mode, players are randomly awarded either 10, 15, 20 or 30 free spins. Scatters can not drop into play during the free spins game mode but will be replaced by ‘+1’ symbols that provide one additional free spin each.

During the free spins game mode, this multiplier meter will not reset in between spins, allowing the submarine to reach higher multipliers each time a wild contributes to a win.

Megaways Duel of the Dead – Kalamba Games

Kalamba Games has blended a wild west theme with a hoard of blood-thirsty zombies in its latest Megaways slot release, which uses six reels, up to seven rows and 84,035-ways to win. It has high volatility with an RTP of 96.81 per cent.

Alex Cohen, COO and Co-Founder at Kalamba Games, commented: “Megaways Duel of the Dead is filled with suspense not only because of its aesthetics but also thanks to the multiple features that can trigger in tandem with each other and their ability to deliver huge wins for players.

“The title is a true passion project, bringing together cell-shaded visuals via our talented team of designers, both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds from the music, zombies and rattling prison cells that work together to provide unmatched immersion. 

“The title’s overall presentation, feature-rich gameplay and innovative mechanics are sure to be a hit among players.”

Throughout the entire game, a jailed criminal symbol appears on the bottom three cells of the sixth reel. These symbols can become activated when the ‘zombies go wild’ game mode is triggered by landing a sheriff symbol on the first reel.

This feature causes the sheriff symbol to expand across the first reel while zombie wild symbols appear expanded across reels two, three, four and five. 

The sheriff will then shoot a displayed number of multipliers across the wilds to increase the win potential of the bonus game mode. Once all multipliers have been placed on the wild zombies, winning paylines will connect the sheriff symbols to the wilds and provide winning payouts. 

During the feature, the jailed criminal can escape, revealing a zombified wild west character. This then triggers the duel feature, in which the criminal will shoot up to three multipliers on the zombie wilds to further increase the win potential of the bonus game mode. 

These zombie wilds will substitute for all symbols other than the sheriff badge scatters. 

Beellionaires Dream Drop – Relax Gaming

The latest buzzing slot title from Relax Gaming presents a hive of features on a 5×3 reel board that has 1,024-ways to win and a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s bet, while using an RTP of 94 per cent. 

Shelley Hannah, Director of Casino Products at Relax Gaming, stated: “We are delighted to launch Beellionaires Dream Drop, offering players a whole new adventure that utilises our ever-popular Dream Drop Jackpot.

“As we enter spring and with summer fast approaching, this is the perfect time for players to enjoy this latest title and try their luck at landing some life-changing wins.”

Bronze, silver and gold bees can appear displaying multiplied bet amounts that can provide up to x500.

Additionally, scatters are also available, triggering the free spins feature if three or more appear on the same spin. 

With the free spins feature, players are taken to an empty reel set where only bronze, silver and gold bee prizes can appear in the second, third and fourth reels. Each bee prize that drops in is collected and awarded to the player.

On the first and fifth reels, extra spin symbols and half-heart symbols can drop in on all rows. As expected, extra spins symbols will award an additional spin to the free spins total.

If two half-heart symbols appear on the same row on both the first and fifth reel, two bees will appear from beneath these symbols, sending a kiss to one another between the reels which then causes a large gold bee prize to appear and be collected. 

During the dream drop feature, players are taken to another empty 5×4 reel set. They are tasked with landing special DD symbols into the reels, with each reel corresponding to its own jackpot prize. 

Reels one, two, three, four and five represent jackpot values of rapid, mini, midi, major and mega prizes respectively. 

Landing a certain number of DD symbols in the same reel will award its respective prize, with the rapid reel needing three, mini needing four and the midi, major and mega reels needing five, six and seven DD symbols respectively.

Wild Coyote Megaways – OneTouch

The second Megaways slot in this list, OneTouch has used a familiar tale of a roadrunner in an explosive battle against a coyote. This cartoon-themed slot has a six-reel set-up with up to seven rows, 117,649 ways to win and a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s bet.

Madis Raus, Head of OneTouch, remarked: “It’s fantastic for us to deliver our first Megaways enhanced title, with Wild Coyote offering fun and quirky game play coupled with incredible win potential. 

“With 117,649 ways to win, fantastic features and engaging characters, this is a game we are extremely proud to add to our growing portfolio of mobile first content that offers exciting experiences to players around the globe.”

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

During the free spins feature, bonus text coyote scatters will only appear on the additional top reel, awarding four extra free spins if three or more appear at once. 

If symbols appear on the top reel and in the same reels below this top reel, the matching symbols will turn into standard wilds. 

Progressive multipliers are on show in the free spins game mode, starting at x1 and increasing by a value of one with each cascading win that occurs. This will not reset in between game rounds as it lasts for the duration of the free spins. 

Furthermore, TNT mystery symbols are available, revealing one random paytable symbol at the end of each spin they appear on. All TNT symbols appearing on the same spin will reveal identical symbols. 

Cash Streak – Endorphina

Recognisable figures of US history roam the reels in Endorphina’s latest slot release, which is a 5×3 reel slot that has 243-fixed paylines, an RTP of 96 per cent and bonus features including x2 multiplier symbols. 

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses Grant and Benjamin Franklin depict the high value symbols, offering between x3 and x500 the player’s preferred stake. 

Scatter symbols come in the form of pyramid eyes, which can be found on US dollar bills, triggering seven, 10 or 15 free spins if three, four or five scatters land on the same spin. 

During the free spins feature, symbols will payout in any combination on the board, as every symbol becomes a scatter-paying symbol.

Additionally, golden coins can appear on reels one, two and three, providing a x2 multiplier to be applied to any winning payouts that land on the same spin. 

Furthermore, players can choose to gamble at the end of every winning spin, risking their payout in order to double it. When selecting to do this, players must guess if a card will be higher than a dealer’s card. 

Players can repeat this up to 10 times, but losing any gamble will return them to the base game empty-handed.

Aztec Bonus Pot – Gaming Corps

Finally, Gaming Corps has taken players deep into an Aztec jungle with its latest treasure-hunting slot release, which is a 5×3 reel slot with 243 ways to win and a maximum win of up to x5,000 the player’s stake. This game has an RTP of 96.03 per cent.

Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, explained: “Our goal with Aztec Bonus Pot was, firstly, to ensure the mechanic was more than capable of delivering well on the multiple touchpoints and expectations a player must have to deliver a memorable experience. That’s important to keep them coming back. 

“Then, secondly, it was to take our artwork to a new level. This game has been a passion project and the artwork genuinely sets it apart. It represents what the revamped Gaming Corps team is now not only capable of but is already delivering across our multiple game genres and can be expected on future titles. I’m very proud of the team, the game and the results I believe it will have.”

Instant cash prize symbols are available on reels one through four, displaying monetary values between x1 and x100 the player’s bet. These prizes will be awarded to the player if they land on the same spin as a ‘collect’ symbol which can only appear on the fifth reel. 

Additionally, x2, x3 and x5 collect symbols can also appear on the fifth reel, collecting all available instant cash prize symbols and applying its respective multiplier to the payout. 

Temple scatters can land on reels one, three and five, triggering up eight free spins if three drop in on the same spin. Landing scatters in the free spins game mode can retrigger the feature with up to 100 free spins available.

All instant cash prizes that aren’t collected by available collector symbols in the free spins will be collected in a bonus pot besides the reels. 

On the final free spin, the total value of the bonus pot will appear as an instant cash prize symbol with the chance to be collected if a ‘collect’ symbol lands on the fifth reel.

Relax Gaming – Hot Rod Racers

Putting the pedal to the metal, Relax Gaming’s new 5×4 reel, 30-payline slot offers an RTP of 96 per cent with high volatility. The title boasts a number of bonus features including wheelspin wilds and super free spins. 

Simon Hammon, CEO of Relax Gaming, said: “This high-octane slot release is guaranteed to bring joy to even the tamest Sunday drivers. We’ve really put the gas down with this one, and we’re extremely confident that Hot Rod Racers is going to be a huge hit with players, and we can’t wait to see those daring drivers cross take to the track.

“Offering everything we’ve made our slots famous for with super-high volatility as well as an impressive x25,000 multiplier for player bets, this one will no doubt be a huge hit.”

If wheelspin wild symbols land on reels two to five and move out of the row towards the left, they will automatically convert all high paying car symbols into wild symbols.

Additionally, a plus one multiplier is applied to any wheelspin wild or high paying symbol that has already been converted.

When three scatter symbols land on reels two, three, and four, players are provided ten free spins. During these free spins, wheelspin wilds that land will be held in place, triggering their feature on every spin to increase the win potential of the bonus game mode.

Should special nitro wilds land on reels one and five alongside three scatters on reels two, three and four, the super free spins feature is triggered.

Wheelspin wilds landing during this are held sticky on the reels, converting high paying symbols into wilds that land to the left of them. A plus one multiplier is applied to any symbol that is converted by these wilds.

High 5 Games – Lucha Loot

Pitting players against a prolific Mexican wrestler, High 5 Games’ latest slot showcases 5×3 reels with 20-paylines and an extra horizontal reel for multiplied wins. Lucha Loot is a medium volatility title with an RTP of 94 per cent. 

Golden wild text symbols can drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the bonus scatter. If the right amount of wilds land in a winning combination, they can offer between x5 and x500. 

Additionally, bonus scatters are available, triggering the bonus pick game mode if three lands on the reels on the same spin. These scatters can only land on reels one, three and five. 

Throughout the base game, there is a horizontal reel below the reel-set. This reel line can include any aforementioned symbols other than the bonus scatter. 

All wins formed on this extra horizontal reel will be multiplied by x44. However, no five-of-a-kind wild combinations can be formed on this win line. 

With the bonus pick feature, players are presented with three bonus scatter symbols to choose from. Behind these symbols are multiplied bet amounts, ranging from x5 to x500 the player’s stake. 

Players are awarded one bonus pick for every three scatters that land on the same turn. 

Pragmatic Play – Shield of Sparta

Pragmatic Play’s latest slot title takes players back to the battlegrounds of ancient Greece with a 5×3 reel slot that has 20-paylines, an RTP of 96.5 per cent and high volatility. 

Shield scatters are available with two variants. One is a standard shield bonus scatter and the other is a magnetic shield scatter. Landing three or more of any shields on the same spin will trigger the free spins feature. 

Landing three, four or five scatters will award 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. If only two scatters land on a single spin, these will stay sticky on the reels as a respin occurs around them, giving players another chance of triggering the bonus feature. 

With this free spins feature, all cells that bonus or magnetic scatters drop into will become marked, upgrading this position when other scatters fall into its cell on a subsequent spin. 

These positions are upgraded to show randomly selected multipliers of x1, x2 or x3 if this happens once, x5, x6 or x8 if it happens twice, and x10, x12, x15 or x20 for a third time. 

Magnetic scatters will mark their cell with a magnetic feature, meaning that any other scatters that land on the same reel as this marked space will be attracted towards it, upgrading this position again. 

Landing three, four or five magnetic scatters on the same free spin will retrigger the feature and award 10, 15 or 20 extra free spins respectively. 

Spartan face wilds can also drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the shield scatters. 

OneTouch – Ryse of Rome

Similarly to the last slot, OneTouch’s latest title sees players embark on an ancient civilisation’s battlefield, this time in ancient Rome. This is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.11 per cent. This game uses a 6×4 reel set with up to 262,144 ways to win. 

Madis Raus, Head of OneTouch, stated: “We’re delighted to announce the release of Ryse of Rome, a brilliant video slot which sends players back in time and allows them to experience Italy during the peak of the Roman empire. 

“In order to elevate the fun, we’ve included some engaging features such as the free drops mechanic and colossal symbols, giving players an easier journey towards huge rewards.”

This game has cascading wins, meaning that symbols that form a winning combination will disappear after providing their payout, making way for new symbols to increase the win potential of an already successful spin.

With every cascading win, the reel-set expands to have an extra row. This can happen up to four times, giving the game a maximum reel-set size of 6×8. 

Wild symbols will not disappear after a cascade but will stay on the reels, allowing them to contribute to more wins. 

All high value gladiator symbols can appear as colossal symbols with sizes of 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 available.

During the free spins feature, any wild that drops into play will cause the lowest-paying symbol to be removed for the duration of the game mode. 

This wild feature can be retriggered to removed multiple symbols from the game and increase the bonus feature’s win potential. 

Wizard Games – Santa’s Fortune

As we approach the holiday season, Wizard Games’ latest slot has players rocking around the Christmas tree on a 5×3 reel-set with 25-paylines, a medium-low volatility and an RTP of 96.03 per cent. 

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, commented: “With Christmas just around the corner, we couldn’t be more excited to roll out Santa’s Fortune, just to get everyone in the festive spirit.

“With both a money collect and free spins mode, there’s plenty for fans of multiple mechanics, and we hope Santa delivers some presents for everyone!”

Presents contain a cash value inside and rewards are granted when one or more prize symbols land. If Santa’s sleigh lands on the fifth reel, it collects all values present on the reels for big payouts.

During the Collects Pots Feature, which can be triggered randomly if Santa’s sleigh lands on the fifth reel, four different jackpot pots appear on the reels. If three match up, players are awarded that value, while the Grand Collect Jackpot is worth 1,000x.

Additionally, a free spins mode is triggered when three Christmas trees land on the reels. This awards eight free spins, which can be retriggered an unlimited number of times for enhanced wins.
