New Slots Spotlight: 10 – 16 Jun

The world of online slots is constantly updated with new products, and it can be difficult to keep track of all the releases. Providers compete in creativity, offering players either journeys into the past or crazy adventures in fictional worlds. To help you navigate this variety, we've put together a selection of seven fresh and different games that deserve attention.

In this article, we will not use big phrases or empty promises. Our goal is to tell you about each slot in a simple and informative way: its theme, key mechanics, and those unique features that distinguish it from others. We will look into the mythological depths, go on a prehistoric hunt, visit the Flintstones family and even ride along the night streets in a tuned car. So, let's start our review.

Waves of Poseidon By Pragmatic Play

Let's start our selection of new products with a dive into the mythological depths with the provider Pragmatic Play. Their new slot, Waves of Poseidon, invites players to venture into the underwater realm of the powerful god of the seas. The theme here is classic: sunken treasures, sea mythical creatures and the formidable ruler of the oceans himself in the lead role. The atmosphere is created with the help of bright graphics and soundtrack, imitating the sound of water and the mysterious sounds of the depths.

The key feature of the gameplay is the mechanic with an expanding wild symbol in the form of Poseidon. When such a symbol appears on the playing field, it triggers a series of re-spins. With each respin, Poseidon rises one cell up until he leaves the reels completely. This feature is interesting because each upward movement of the wild symbol increases the total win multiplier for the current spin series, adding intrigue to the base game.

The main action takes place in the Free Spins round, which is triggered in the traditional way – by collecting several scatter symbols. In this mode, the Poseidon ascending mechanic is even more active. The main difference is that the accumulated multiplier from the movement of wild symbols does not reset after each respin, but continues to grow throughout the bonus round, which opens up opportunities for larger payouts.

Rex Stampede By ELK

Rex Stampede, as you might guess, is dedicated to dinosaurs, and the focus is on the formidable Tyrannosaurus rex. ELK are known for their cinematic approach, and this game is no exception, with dense vegetation, wildlife sounds, and high-quality animations creating a tense survival atmosphere.

The gameplay is based on a feature with walking wild symbols in the form of tyrannosaurs. Appearing on the field, such a symbol starts re-spins and begins to move along the reels, usually from one side of the screen to the other. This is not just a solitary "walk" - several predators can land on the field at once, creating the same stampede, which is put in the name of the slot. Often, such wild symbols also carry additional multipliers.

The game culminates in a bonus round with free spins. Here, the chances of Tyrannosaurus rex appearing and starting their march across the screen increase significantly, making this mode a major source of potential big wins. The whole round is built on the expectation of this very invasion of dinosaurs, which can radically change the outcome of the spins.

A characteristic feature of ELK's games is the X-iter menu, which is also present here. It allows players not to wait for the random launch of features, but to purchase access to them directly for a fee - for example, you can buy a guaranteed appearance of a Tyrannosaurus rex or immediately activate the bonus game. In terms of the math model, the game offers an RTP of 94% and high variance, which suggests high-risk gameplay.

4 Fantastic Fish Gold By 4ThePlayer

Let's continue our review and move on to a slot that offers an unusual gaming concept. In 4ThePlayer's 4 Fantastic Fish Gold, the value of some symbols is not fixed. Instead, fish appear on the reels with cash prizes attached to them. The theme here is fun fishing, but with a gambling bias, where each "catch" can be especially valuable.

The main game idea is built around fish symbols. They appear on six reels, and each has its own money value. An important nuance: the size of the prize on the fish directly depends on which reel it landed on. The more right the reel, the larger the potential win can be. To receive these cash prizes, fish symbols must form a winning line, just like any other standard symbols.

The most interesting events begin in the bonus round of respins, which is activated in the classic way when scatters appear. Here, the mechanics change: the reels on which the scatter symbols originally appeared become active, and only fish with prizes or empty cells can land on them. The goal is to fill the active reels with fish. Sometimes other marine life can help with this process, such as a shark that collects all the prizes from one reel.

Eye of Medusa By Hacksaw Gaming

Eye of Medusa immerses the player in the dark side of Greek mythology, where there is no place for shining temples - only the ominous lair of Medusa, decorated with petrified statues of fallen heroes.

The central game feature here is the "Gaze of the Medusa". When a special wild symbol with its image appears on the reels, the respins function is activated. During these re-spins, a meter is displayed on the screen that shows how many symbols will fall under her deadly gaze. This number of random symbols on the field then turns into additional "wild" symbols, which can lead to the formation of a large winning combination.

The full potential of this mechanic is unleashed in the free spins bonus round. Its main difference is that the counter of "petrified" symbols becomes progressive. Each time Medusa uses her gaze, the number of symbols she can turn into wild is not reset, but summed up. Thus, by the end of the round, each respin can create a huge number of wild symbols.

Like most games from Hacksaw Gaming, Eye of Medusa is a very high variance slot made for those looking for maximum tension. It is especially important to pay attention to the return to player (RTP) rate here. The provider has released several versions of the game with returns ranging from 88.38% to 96.20%. The difference between these values is huge, so it's highly recommended to check which version is installed at your chosen casino before playing.

The Flintstones 2 Bedrock Riches

The Playtech provider offers to plunge into nostalgia with the help of The Flintstones 2 Bedrock Riches slot. This game brings back your favorite characters from the animated series about a family from the Stone Age, bringing Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty and, of course, their pet Dino to the reels.

The gameplay here is very dynamic and action-packed, especially in the base game. At any time during the spin, one of the random functions tied to a specific character can be activated. For example, Fred Flintstone can appear on the screen and add mystery symbols to the field, while Dino is able to dig up several wild symbols, sometimes even with additional multipliers. These sudden bonuses make each spin unpredictable.

The main event of the game is the launch of the Bedrock Riches bonus round. Here, Playtech has applied its signature approach, giving the player the right to choose. Instead of one predefined free spins option, there are several to choose from, and each of them has a unique mechanic. You can choose free spins with features from Wilma, where wild symbols are collected, or you can prefer a riskier, but potentially generous round under the patronage of the Great Gazu, which can randomly improve the symbols.

Vikings Go To Vegas By Yggdrasil

And again a change of scenery. What happens if the harsh Scandinavian warriors are sent on vacation to the very heart of excitement - Las Vegas? The answer to this question is given by the Yggdrasil studio in its new Vikings Go To Vegas slot. It's a sequel to their famous saga that swaps gloomy fjords and battlefields for the glitter of neon signs and the noise of casinos, creating a fun and unexpected contrast.

Fans of the series will immediately recognize the signature mechanics of accumulating "rage" for each of the four Vikings. By collecting winning combinations with their participation, you gradually fill the individual scale of the character. As soon as the scale of one of the Vikings is full, a special free spins mode "Berzerk" is launched. In it, this warrior is guaranteed to turn into a "sticky" wild symbol every time he appears on the reels, remaining in place until the end of the round.

The main innovation that reflects the Vegas theme is the wheel of fortune, which appears before the triggering of the free spins round (activated by scatters). Spinning this wheel can give the player significant improvements for the upcoming bonus: additional spins, a starting "sticky" wild, another Viking in the "Berzerk" mode, or even the activation of the most coveted round - "Ragnarok", where all four heroes become berserkers.

King of the Streets By Slotmill

The base game gameplay is adrenaline-pumping thanks to several features. Nitro symbols can appear on the reels, which expand to the entire reel, working as a wild symbol. There are also mysterious symbols made in the form of paint cans: when they land on the field, they all turn into the same random pay symbol, which can help in forming a winning combination.

The main "race" for big prizes unfolds in the free spins round. In this mode, all the features of the base game become even more powerful. For example, expanding wilds can become "sticky" and remain in place until the end of the round, gradually increasing the chances of a big win. As is often the case with Slotmill games, it is likely that there is also a "super" version of the bonus game, which is more difficult to activate but offers even more potential.

A distinctive feature of slots from Slotmill is the "Fast Track" menu, which allows you not to wait for a bonus, but to buy it directly by choosing one of several options. The provider also has a "Burst Mode" mode - this is a super-fast game for those who want to skip the animation of the spins and immediately see the result. The game has high volatility, which is fully consistent with the risky theme, and offers a good RTP of 96.04%.
