Gaming providers work non-stop all year around, but recently we saw an explosion in new and exciting slots. Some releases are new titles while others are sequels or additions to some popular staples or series.
Our team at Gamblorium has checked through all of them and compiled our personal Top 3 slots that look most promising, with some honourable mentions in the end.
Super Sticky Piggy slot by 3 Oaks Gaming: is it superior?
Super Sticky Piggy slot is a direct sequel or more like an upgrade to the popular Sticky Piggy slot. Our team liked the previous model so we think you will thoroughly enjoy this new version even more.
The general vibe, design of the slot, number of reels – 5×3, pay lines – 20, and even soundtrack characters’ ikons remain the same.
So what has changed?
The visuals of the gameplay definitely got some work, the slot’s graphics and animation look more polished and smooth. When we tried playing the older version after experiencing the Super Sticky Piggy it became glaringly obvious that in this case new is better than old.
However, what took the cake was the gameplay, it is much more engaging now with the fresh additions:
- Jumping wilds in free spins
- Wild with x2 and x3 multipliers
- Progress in free spins
- Jumping wilds with x3 and x5 andx10 multipliers
The overall experience now feels more dynamic, exciting and simply more fun.
So, our verdict is that the new version, the sequel, or the upgrade is a worthy addition to the 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio.
Egypt Bonus Pot by Gaming Corps: worthy successor or a copycat?
Swedish developers from Gaming Corps saw how successful their Aztec Bonus Pot slot was and decided to make an addition to the hot series.
Egyptian theme not only matches the ancient adventure atmosphere they are going for but will attract new players who are always looking for the new Cleopatra or Book or Ra, Book of the Dead, etc. We can be sure that the ancient Egypt-themed slots will never be out of fashion.
The Aztec Bonus Pot looked good, but in our opinion, the Egypt Bonus Pot looks even better with the different layout of 4×6 reels. The overall look of the slot is very pleasant with a darker setting offset by jewel tones. The slot looks very inviting and cosy in a mysterious way.
Although, the most inviting in this game is the Bonus Features:
- Reel Sync – synchronisation of adjacent reels increases the chances of combos.
- Free Spins – 3 or more Scatters trigger the round, but there are also Instant Prize Symbols to add to a Bonus Pot.
- Bonus Pot Mechanic – offers players to 10,000x their stakes, making it the maximum win.
The Gamblorium team is interested in seeing if this new slot will capture as many fans as its predecessor because it has all the makings for it.
Year of Olympia WildEnergy™ by Yggdrasil & Boomerang Games: marketing or passion?
This slot is a trendy collaboration between ReelPlay partner Boomerang Games and Yggdrasil. Clearly, a lot of work and effort has been put into this collaboration. The design and the gameplay look well-thought-out and it is supported by flawless technical execution.
Plus, it is quite a clever marketing strategy to launch a new Greek-themed slot so close to the 2024 Olympics.
The Year of Olympia WildEnergy™ slot looks like what you would expect of an Ancient Greek-themed slot like Gates of Olympus with laurel wreaths, columns, and statues, all in all, the game is aesthetical and visually appealing. The new slot has 5 rows and 5 reels with a max multiplier of x3,265 and with 720 ways to get a combo it looks pretty good.
In terms of additional features, it has:
- The WildEnergy – holds wild symbol;
- Hold & Respins – wild collects coins;
- Free Spins – added wild;
- Upgrade and Collect – for valuable coin symbols.
But there is even more to this slot the developer states that RTP for this one can range from 95.9% to 94.0%, to 90.5%, and even 86.0% with volatility of Medium-High. This particular aspect will be intriguing to see in a long-run game.
To Sum Up
The summer has just started but we are already swarmed with new hot slot releases and our team is sure there will be much more to come.
This list is Gablorium editorial pick and, of course, is subjective, it is not to say that other recent releases were bad at all.
A few honourable mentions worth your time from our team will be: Sweet Bonanza 1000 by Pragmatic Play another upgrade of an original Sweet Bonanza legend, Tales of Camelot by Spinomenal another title for their Folktales series and 20 Wild Goals by Amusnet a football-themed slot released in anticipation of UEFA Euro 2024.
We hope you will enjoy our personal recommendations.
