In Rush Mode, any winning symbols are assigned to either the multiplier totem or the life totem, based on their colour. The totems start at a x2 multiplier and one life respectively.

Collecting five symbols of either warm or cold increases the respective totem value. A win adds all winning symbols to the total while a losing spin deducts one life. Re-spins are awarded until no lives remain.

Mayan Rush also comes hooked up to Stakelogic’s ‘Super Stake’ feature which effectively allows players to double their bet. It is triggered on a random losing spin and awards three re-spins. When the feature starts, a coin symbol lands in the middle of the centre reel; any additional coin symbols that land remove any block symbols above or below the coin symbol.

If all blocker symbols are removed, then all coin symbol values are multiplied by x2. If 25 coin symbols are in view then coin symbol values are multiplied x5. If one or more coin symbols land on the reels after a re-spin, the number of re-spins resets to three.

“Mayan Rush takes the classic adventure themed slot and gives it the Stakelogic touch by combining stunning visuals, authentic sound and the thrilling gameplay we have built our reputation on.

Alien K.O. – Green Jade Games

The latest addition Green Jade Games’ ‘Knock Out’ series puts players at the controls of an alien spaceship, which has just touched down on an unsuspecting farm in the deep south of America.

The spaceship is hooked up to Green Jade’s Knock Out engine, which allows players to knock symbols out of the reels in order to create a cascade affect.

In Alien K.O. players have a K.O. meter that sits at the right-hand side of the game window and displays how many charges they currently have, with a maximum cap of 10 charges.

Each charge allows for a single symbol knockout. Charges are earned by base game spins at the rate of five spins per charge.

A player’s K.O. charge amount is persistent to player session ID. So, if a player signs out and signs back in, they should start with the same amount of K.O. charges as when they last left the game.

The idea is to K.O. symbols to line up three loot box symbols horizontally to trigger the game’s bonus features, which include free spins, instant cash or a combination of the two.

The more loot boxes the player can align, the greater the prize they receive. Whether the prize is instant cash or free spins is determined at random.

If free spins are triggered, players can also take advantage of sticky wilds that appear while the bonus is active. If they land, they will remain in position for the duration of the bonus.

“Our K.O series is proving to be incredibly popular with players as it combines elements of skill with RNG gameplay.

“The Alien theme has been incredibly well executed by our design team, and provides an engaging and entertaining game that players can return to time and again.

“These games really are unique and allow operators to acquire and retain players at scale, while also standing our from their rivals.” – Mark Taffler, chief commercial officer at Green Jade Games.

Thunder Shields – iSoftBet

Promising a “Nordic epic” iSoftBet’s Thunder Shields is the first slot to feature a three-tiered jackpot within a ‘Hold and Win’ game.

The title is the fourth to contain the firm’s Hold and Win mechanic, which contains various features such as booster shields, colossal respins, thunderstorm prizes and mystery spins.

During base gameplay, a Hammer symbol acts not only as a wild, but also triggers the Colossal Respin modifier, where giant symbols appear, covering up to four reels and leading to huge wins. The Mystery spins feature sees at least three reels land as stacked mystery symbols, which all reveal the same symbol for impressive win potential.

To trigger the Hold and Win bonus, six or more cash shields need to land on the reels, awarding three respins. Every time a new shield lands, the respin counter resets.

Thunder Shields’ booster’s come into play during this mode, with different colour shields revealing a different modifier. This can be multiplier increases, collector shields to bank all money already on the board and clear it for more opportunities to win, as well as a reel boost, cash boost or respins boost.

“Thunder Shields sees our Viking warriors set sail on the high seas in search of treasure in our latest top performing Hold and Win game. Packed full of features, the bonus round has the potential to lead to massive wins.

“We’re thrilled with this title. We consistently strive to create unique content for a diverse range of demographics, and the development of our Hold and Win series of games has been a real point of pride this year.” – Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet.

Cowboys Gold – Pragmatic Play

Journey to the Wild West in Pragmatic Play’s Cowboys Gold, the 3×5 video that invites players to hunt the reels for a band of cowboy outlaws and the renegade.

Sheriff symbols act as wilds, while the renegade can trigger the money collect feature, where if he lands then any cowboy symbols holding monetary value are instantly collected.

Three or more skull-faced outlaws trigger the free spins mode, where the outlaws can have a multiplier attached to them. If the renegade lands on the fifth reel, he will instantly bank the value of any outlaws on the reels.

He also acts as a bonus symbol in both base play and the bonus round. If three bonus symbols or a bonus and renegade land on the same spin during free spins, then more respins are triggered. The more retriggers, then the higher the bonus round multiplier climbs, where it can reach up to 5x.

“Cowboys Gold takes players to the Wild West in search of big wins in a thrilling addition to our Gold range of titles. With the Renegade playing an important role, he’ll soon become a player’s best friend, while the increasing multiplier in free spins means any spin could turn into a lucrative win.

“Creating games that appeal to a wide variety of players is important to us and we’re very proud of our intense roadmap which delivers high-quality content on a weekly basis.” – Lena Yasir, vice president at Pragmatic Play.
