A new week has passed by, and with it new slot releases. We at Gamblorium have overviewed all of them and are ready to present our personal favourite lineup of the newcomers.
European Football Cup is nearing and with it more slot releases on the topic together with some classics and all-time favourite themes. So read on for our top picks.
Jack Potter and the Book of Football Slot by Apparat Gaming: gimmick or not?
Apparat Gaming made a new addition to its ongoing Jack Potter series. However, while the others were quite straightforward like the Book of Dynasties or the Book of Nubia, this one seems different.
Well, we can surely say that combining football and Ancient Egypt is definitely something we have never seen before. The game looks quite good, on par with other amazing and colourful Ancient Egyptian and football slots we expect nowadays.
There are all the usual features we expect:
- 5×3 reels
- RTP 84.18% – 96.07%
- high volatility
- a wild
- and a scatter (of course, it is a book and getting 3 or more will trigger 10 free games with a bonus symbol)
The gameplay is great and the design looks good despite the combination of modern and ancient motives in one slot but will it become a fan favourite?
This is a personal pick of our Product owner Nodar Giorgadze, he thinks this unusual idea is a clever marketing move and will bring more interest to the slot. We are talking about it, so it is already working!
Waltz Beauty Slot by Habanero: bonus features and childhood wonder
Just think about how many fairy-tale-themed movies, TV series, games, and even slots you know. Probably, a lot! Some combine stories together like in a Wish Upon A Jackpot Slot and others take a singular story as we can see that Walz Beauty is a clear Sleeping Beauty rendition.
The design looks old-timey and enchanting with stained glass and crystal details, although we think that the control panel might look a bit busy.
Nonetheless, even if you are not interested in the visual aspect of the slot and would think that this sort of thing is not up your alley, we suggest you give this one a closer look for its gameplay and extensive bonus features:
- Two types of Wilds – red rose and crystal rose that bring multipliers;
- Mystery Beast Feature – can play when Crystal Wilds cannot, can substitute other icons and have a multiplier to boost wins even more;
- 3, 4, 5, 6 Scatters will bring 10, 20, 30 or 100 Free Games;
- Buy Feature;
- Super Bet Feature.
The game is very engaging and offers a lot to those who like their slots with extra something. And yes, we think that everybody loves a good fairy-tale or magic-themed slot and those who say they don’t are lying.
Fantasy worlds make us feel good and bring us to the simpler times of our childhoods. And yes, companies know that too and will use our nostalgia to create an attention-grabbing product, not that it is necessarily bad.
We at Gamblorium think this is a nice one from Habanero and a possible hit.
Ronaldinho Spins by Booming Games: a start of an exclusive series
Yes, we know, another football-themed slot. But we could not have skipped this one from our Top list. Booming Games made an official partnership with one and only Ronaldinho Gaúcho back in November 2023 and now we can take a look at the first slot in the series of games featuring Ronaldinho’s image.
The intro to the slot is quite impressive visually speaking, before you can start playing there is a short animation of Ronaldinho scoring a fiery goal. Honestly, we expected that they would throw everything but the kitchen sink into this game, however, it is quite minimalistic and simple. Not without some interesting features, though:
- Getting 3 Scatters will deliver 12 free spins with Symbol Upgrades
- Expanding Ronaldinho Wild
- Three Bonus Buy options (that’s another first for Booming Games)
This is the first-of-its-kind slot featuring the legendary football player and the first sports-themed slot for Booming Games. These guys are more famous for their classical fruity slots.
Will the famous football player bring more fans and awareness to this collaboration? Probably, with Ronaldinho’s 170 million followers across different social media platforms, it might be the biggest hit Booming Games has seen yet. Judging by their official website which has a separate Ronaldinho button and a page dedicated, they are banking on this partnership pretty hard.
Honourable mentions
With Euro 2024 here it is no wonder that two out of three on our list are football-related but there were a few more worthy contestants in the new releases. Joker Cashpot by ELA Games was announced as a conceptually new game, and even though the theme seems as classic as any other Joker-related slot the gameplay and features are intriguing.
And following last week we have another Camelot-related game, Thunderkick released the Sword of Arthur slot. What is happening with this theme? Is there a new movie or TV series that will be released soon? Anyway, what you can definitely expect it’s an amazing quality that Thunderkick always delivers.
How did you like our editorial Top 3? We will see you next week with new game releases.
