As a number of new igaming titles grace the CasinoBeats inbox, sit back and get to grips with a select few new slot games in one handy bite-size chunk.

Romans: Legions of Gold – Spearhead Studios

Spearhead Studios is channelling Ancient Rome for its latest slot release, with Romans – Legions of Gold using a ‘ways’ mechanic and varying reel sizes, which offers players up to 20,160 ways to win.

The scatters trigger the free spins in which the two highest-paying symbols progressively become wilds on each reel at a time. Players who re-trigger free spins are promised a glorious win as impressive as the armies of Rome.

“Romans – Legion of Gold is the third title of the spring, after the sequel to our blockbuster Lara Jones is Cleopatra II and Wild Gold.

“I am positive that players will enjoy the many features we have created for their entertainment. While we continue to produce high-quality slots, we are also working on other types of games, such as poker and bingo, which are set to be released this year. Overall, 2021 is packed with fantastic new games.” – Kevin Corti, game development director at Spearhead Studios.

Fire Toad – Play’n Go

Fire Toad is a five-reel, 1,024-payline video slot which includes five high-paying toad symbols along with a free spins round, sees the online casino developer uncover a rare creature which becomes more powerful as it grows.

During the base game, the firefly is the scatter symbol, which also functions as a wild, whilst substituting for all symbols.

Furthermore, the game comes with five different sized toad, and four Hawaiian-themed card suit, symbols. The biggest is the highest paying symbol, while the smallest tadpole is the least expensive.

If the player lands two scatters on the reels, a toad symbol is chosen at random, and all smaller toads will upgrade to the chosen symbol. Moreover, three scatters award nine free spins, with five providing the player with 15.

The free spins begin with the smallest toad which has already upgraded by one size. The round can be retriggered an unlimited number of times. During the round, on each retrigger, the smallest available toad symbol will upgrade one size until all toads are the biggest size.

“Creativity is a lifeblood of entertainment. Developing new ideas and introducing new concepts to players keeps them engaged and interested in what you’re going to do next.

“Allowing people to be creative also creates a more positive and productive atmosphere, and that leads to great results.” – Johan Törnqvist, CEO of Play’n Go.

Mechanical Clover – BGaming

BGaming takes on the steampunk world in Mechanical Clover, a 3×3 video slot which includes a respin bonus and risk game to aid players in attempting win big.

During the base game, wild symbols substitute for any symbol in a line to complete a winning combination. The wild can drop on the central reel only, with the wild also triggering the respin Bonus.

Once triggered, 27 paylines become available with the feature providing one to six respins, increasing multiplier with every new respin. Symbols that complete winning combinations during the bonus stay on the reels until the end of the free spins series. The game also comes with a risk game which can be activated on any win.

“Thinking of the idea for a new slot, we were inspired by Mechanical Orange, the game that was released two years ago.

“It was the first game in the steampunk style in our lineup and it was definitely worth having a new breath. So, we’ve made the brand’s new slot called Mechanical Clover. The steampunk style is very interesting for its great details.

“Thinking over the elements of the game, we immediately came up with interesting mechanics for animations!” – Aleksey Ulanov, art director at BGaming.

Legendary Sumo – Endorphina

Join an elite division of sumo wrestlers and experience the ancient Japanese sporting tradition in Endorphina’s latest slot.

Legendary Sumo, a five-reel, three-row video slot, offers players 21-paylines along with a free games mode and multipliers.

If the player lands three or more scatter symbols on the reels, they will trigger the free games mode. Yet, if luck is on their side, landing five scatters will award 50 free spins.

After each, a winning sumo fighters team is determined. The player will be victorious once their symbol covers the majority of the reels. Each fighter in the winning team is awarded with a golden trophy, transforming them into a joker.

During the next spin, any fighters stopping in the same position as the trophy inherits the trophy and the joker’s functions.

Additionally, the title comes with a risk game which allows players to double their outcome on any bet win, which can be triggered up to 10 times.

“Voodoo Reels Unlimited Free Spins allows players to summon magic to improve their luck and chances of winning big in this atmospheric and sinister slot. Of course, the game’s combination of generous bonus feature helps, too.

“Voodoo Reels Unlimited Free Spins has been designed to deliver a spine tingling player experience by combining thrilling gameplay with dark and moody designs and chilling sounds. This all comes together to deliver a spell-binding player experience.” – Stephan van den OetelaarCEO of Stakelogic.

In the base game the seven is a wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except for stars, which act like scatters, to complete a winning combination.

Players need to land three stars to gain access to the free spins mode. The feature is retriggerable and comes in random bundles of 15, 20 or 25 rounds. 2x multiplier ramps up the gaming experience during free spins by doubling the final win.

“Sweet Crush will definitely delight players not only during the festive season when it is released worldwide. Everyone loves sweet treats and this simple, yet enjoyable game is sure to win the hearts of all sweets and slot lovers.” – Ondrej LapidesCEO at Tom Horn Gaming.

Kalamba Games – Firedrake’s Fortune

Promising an “epic title” where Vikings pursue mythical beasts and magical riches, Kalamba’s Firedrake’s Fortune is a 6×4 slot set in a dungeon that is protected by a fiery red dragon and features Viking warriors on a mission to chase big wins.

The LuckyLoops feature sees players trying to accumulate special dragon egg symbols on every spin. On every tenth spin, a number of special symbols expand to cover the reels, triggering even more winning combinations.

The free spins game is unlocked when three dragons eyes symbols land in a single spin. Once in the red dragon’s lair, sticky wild multipliers increase by one with every spin, making for really big potential wins and extra excitement.

“In this thrilling fantasy-themed slot we offer a unique blend of features, including Kalamba’s signature mechanics, across both engagement and monetisation metrics.

“The intense feature-set makes Firedrake’s Fortune a must have for any operator lobby and we are pleased to wrap up what has been a fantastic year for Kalamba with this epic title which offers a great player experience.” – Alex Cohen, COO and co-founder of Kalamba Games.

Endorphina – Chance Machine 5 

Endorphina’s Chance Machine 5 is a five-reel, three-row slot with five fixed paylines and an RTP of 96 per cent, whilst including wild and scatter symbols as well as a gamble feature.

Similar to other Endorphina slots, the game has a gamble feature which allows the player to double his win up to ten times.

During this, players choose a card from the four dealt on the table which are face down. If they beat the dealer, their win is doubled. If they lose, then all the winnings are forfeited and the round ends.

“The success of our Chance Machine series compelled us to bring our latest release to the market. Right in time for the holidays, here’s our new classic.” – Jan Urbanec, CEO of Endorphina.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 global health crisis, the world finds itself dealing with exceptional circumstances. Having continued to operate online in this period, casinos are now seeing an increase in users however questions still remain regarding the future of the industry post-COVID.

Discussing their professional experiences through the ongoing health situation, four industry specialists took part in a panel titled ‘Marketing Slots in the new Environment’ that was moderated by Square in the Air director James Bennett.

Opening up the panel Ross Parkhill, managing director at Rizk Casino, said: “In terms of casino it’s definitely a good period at the moment. We have experienced solid KPI across the board and more active players. It’s a true indicator that people are seeking other forms of entertainment. We’ve seen a pick up and it is welcomed even though we are in unfortunate times. 

“We haven’t changed much. we’ve tried to keep things in check and we haven’t tried to increase promotions. It is very much business as usual so nothing has really changed on our end, but we are trying to make sure we’re sensible with our campaigns and ensure there is no link to lockdown or anything irresponsible. 

“We have more players but it is no time to be spamming players. It’s already an active market, we have nice campaigns aimed at our players with what they want, we just need to make sure what we’re doing is good and make sure it’s valuable to players and well received. 

“I’m a big believer that players come to play games. Our main driver is entertainment through the game. We can add parts to make it more interesting but they come for games. Using that as a part to attract players is what we do. I don’t think bonuses will go away but there is a financial incentive at the moment not to do bonuses. Things are getting tighter in the industry so it is a good time to start moving away from them. 

“There hasn’t been anything groundbreaking during lockdown. We’ve seen a good increase widespread, a lot of countries are locked down and our key markets are seeing the same measures in place. Across the board we’ve seen more activity and sign ups. Everyone is seeking out entertainment so it’s not too surprising and for us it’s quite global spread.” 

Parkhill was joined on the panel by Endorphina CEO Jan Urbanec who provided a suppliers perspective on the current trends. Urbanec echoed the Rizk Casino MD’s thoughts on an upward user growth: “From the point of view of a supplier we have a macrodata-style outlook. 

“We’ve seen a growth of GGR and number of spins – mainly spins because players have more time to play. Customers who are focussed on casino have also produced a small stable jump up, however, customers that were on sportsbooks prior to the lockdown measures have grown most with us, a jump of around 50-70%, but I would say its short term in this case. 

“Regarding marketing I would say everyone feels that sportsbook players will move by themselves and there is no need to push them, this is wise. Players are sensitive to obvious campaigns, so we decided to market more towards reliability, we don’t want to boast about our products, it doesn’t show good spirit, so we are confident that our marketing giving players confidence in us. 

“We’ve also seen that players tend to move towards classic games instead of new releases. Our classic hits have gone up and we have decided to push marketing this way. We’ve advertised that despite aspects of life being cancelled games are still here, not a push but more of a reminder to players. 

“For us there’s been a general increase across all of our games  From our point of view though, we as an industry need to be careful not to be interpreted as something that is abusing the situation, but with this being said we shouldn’t be afraid to keep our product live. I believe in the future we should remain stable in how we market our message.” 

Joining Parkhill and Urbanec on the Green Jade Games-sponsored panel was William Hill International brand director Neill Simpson and CasinoGrounds CEO Tobias Svensen.

The SBC Digital Summit runs from 27 April to 1 May 2020 and features seven conference tracks, a virtual exhibition and virtual networking lounges, attracting an estimated 10,000 delegates logging in from around the world.

There is still time to register for the event, with company discounts available: https://sbcevents.com/sbc-digital-summit/tickets/.

Another week has flown by and a flurry of slot releases have hit the CasinoBeats inbox. This week’s game round-up includes an AI-fuelled release from Endorphina, Wazdan’s colossal symbols and a shining slot from Amusnet

Joker Ra: Sunrise – Endorphina

Endorphina called upon the use of generative AI once again with its latest 5×4 reel slot, which uses 25-paylines to offer a maximum win of up to x5,000 the player’s wager. This ancient Egyptian slot uses an RTP of 96.07 per cent.

Treasure chest scatters can drop into play on reels two, three and four, activating the free spins feature when three land on the same spin. This will also award an instant win of x25 the player’s bet. 

Bonus sun symbols are also available, displaying monetary values from x1 to x16 the player’s wager. These prize values can be won in the sunrise bonus game mode, activated when six or more sun symbols land on the same turn. 

For this bonus game mode, players are given three spins to land as many sun symbols on an empty reel set as possible. Each sun that does appear will reset the number of spins to three. 

These sun symbols can also appear eclipsed, showcasing jackpot values with min (x20), mid (x50) and max (x150) prizes available. 

Once all three spins have been completed, players will receive the accumulated value of all sun symbols that have dropped into play, including eclipsed jackpot suns. 

If players manage to land a full board of 20 gem symbols, they will win the game’s ultra jackpot prize worth x5,000. 

Finally, wild joker pharaohs can appear, substituting for all symbols other than the treasure chests and sun bonus symbols. Landing three, four or five wilds on a winning payline will payout x0.8, x2.4 or x12 the player’s preferred bet. 

Mighty Symbols: Sevens – Wazdan

Giant symbols crash onto the reel set in the latest title from Wazdan, showcasing a 5×3 reel grid with 10-paylines and a maximum win of up to x2,000 the chosen bet. This slot has variable volatility levels of low, medium and high with an RTP of 96.17 per cent. 

Lucky seven wilds can appear, substituting for all symbols other than the scatter star. On the second, third and fourth reels, a giant 3×3-sized lucky seven wild can appear. If this giant wild appears fully on the board, the Hold the Jackpot bonus game will be activated. 

In Hold the Jackpot, the giant wild seven will sit in the middle of an empty reel set, while players are awarded three spins to land as many wild seven symbols on either side of it. 

Each new seven symbol that drops into play will reset the number of spins to three, allowing players more chances to land symbols. 

As well as wild sevens, special jackpot sevens can drop into play during this feature, depicting jackpot prizes of mini (x10), minor (x20) or major (x50). 

These jackpot prizes can be revealed by mystery symbols that appear on the board and can also reveal standard wild seven symbols. 

Once the game mode draws to a close, multipliers will appear on any jackpot symbols that were revealed by mystery symbols, showcasing values from x1 to x10 that will be applied to their respective jackpot prizes. 

Players will then receive any jackpot prize values that appeared, as well as any line wins that formed with the wild symbols across the board. 

Additionally, if players can fill the bonus game mode’s reel set with 15 symbols, they’ll gain the game’s grand jackpot prize worth x2,000. 

20 Glossy Hot – Amusnet

Amusnet rolled back the years with its latest fruit machine-inspired slot title as players are presented with a 5×3 reel slot with 20-paylines and a maximum win of x20,000 the player’s stake. The slot has medium volatility with an RTP of 96.09 per cent. 

Cherries, oranges, lemons and plums represent the slot’s low value symbols. If the right number of winning combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x5 and x200 the player’s wager. 

Meanwhile, grapes and watermelons depict the medium value symbols, providing wins between x50 and x500 the player’s preferred stake. 

High value symbols come in the form of red lucky sevens. These symbols can offer between x200 and x20,000 the player’s bet. 

Additionally, star scatters are available, paying out independently from paylines. Landing three, four or five stars on the same spin will award wins worth x2, x10 or x50 the player’s bet. 

Players can be taken to the jackpot cards game mode randomly at the end of any winning spin. 

For this jackpot feature, players are shown 12 hidden playing cards. Four progressive jackpot prizes are available, represented by the four playing card suits. 

Players will select from these cards until they have chosen three cards of the same suit, receiving the respective jackpot prize offered by that suit. 

Moreover, on any win lower than x35 their stake, players can gamble their payout with a double-or-nothing jackpot card feature. 

With this gamble, players must guess whether the jackpot card will land as red or black, doubling their winning bet if they guess correctly. 

Boogie Boom – Booming Games

Booming Games takes players on a night of disco-dancing with its latest boogieing slot release, using a seven-reel slot with a row set-up of 6-6-5-5-5-6-6. For this game, wins are provided using cluster-pays of five or more identical symbols. 

Cascading wins occur, causing winning symbols to explode and disappear from the reel set, making way for new symbols to drop in and increase the win potential of an already successful spin. 

On random base game spins, a wild spotlight feature can occur, causing a cluster of five to 10 wilds to appear on the grid. This feature can also occur in the bonus game mode, but this will only provide up to eight wilds. 

Both low and high value symbols can appear as colossal symbols, dropping onto the reels with sizes of 2×2 or 3×3 to increase the player’s chances of forming cluster wins. 

Boom disco ball scatters can also appear, triggering eight free spins in the bonus game mode when four land on the same spin. 

In the free spins game mode, a win multiplier starts at x1 and increases by a value of one with each cascading win. This multiplier will then be applied to the total win for the spin once the final cascade has occurred, before resetting for the next spin. 

Finally, wild text symbols are available, substituting for all symbols other than the disco ball scatters.

Solverde has announced two collaborations to enhance its online casino content offering, partnering with both MGA Games and Endorphina

In both deals, Solverde.pt has gained titles from each supplier’s product portfolio, gaining an initial batch of 25 slot titles from Endorphina as well as MGA Games’ complete catalogue of igaming content. 

Integrating titles from both studios has achieved a significant milestone for Solverde.pt as it becomes the first online casino in Portugal to host over 2,500 games on a single platform. 

Sérgio Pascoal, Director of R&D at Solverde.pt, commented: “The 2500 games on a single platform are a fundamental step for the company, which reinforces its leadership position in the sector. 

“The collaboration with studios MGA Games and Endorphina allows us to lead in Portugal with an offer of innovation and excellence. Notably, MGA Games has a portfolio of 100 titles, created with HTML5 technology, that stand out for their graphical quality, and Endorphina made history by being the first company to develop a game entirely powered by AI, demonstrating its dedication to pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology.”

Through the partnership with MGA Games, Solverde will benefit from the studios series of slot releases that feature popular figures of Portuguese culture, including ex-footballer Paulo Futre. 

Javier Lanfranchi, Sales Director at MGA Games, stated: “The studio is confident that our slots will impress Solverde.pt players, as well as make them feel the true thrill of the game. We share a passion for entertainment and reflect that by delivering top-notch, high-value content to operators.” 

Meanwhile, Endorphina’s initial offering of 25 slot releases features slots such as Glory of Egypt, Book of Vlad, Dynamite Miner and Fisher King.

Jonathan Martini, Senior Sales Manager at Endorphina, added: “By offering the state-of-the-art games of Endorphina, exclusively for Solverde.pt, we aim to provide a unique and exciting gaming experience that reflects both companies’ unwavering pursuit of innovation.”

Endorphina has extended its reach across Latin America after confirming its entry into the Peruvian igaming market. 

The slot studio can now offer its product portfolio to operators in the South American nation, after receiving permission from Peru’s General Directorate of Casino Games and Slot Machines, part of the nation’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism

Hailing Peru as ‘a very important market for us’, the move sees Endorphina become one of the first slot suppliers to become approved for the Peruvian online casino market following its regulation in October 2023. 

A statement from Endorphina read: “Starting 2024 strong, we are excited to announce that Endorphina is one of the first slot game developers authorised to provide its games in the newly regulated Peruvian market. 

“Peru has traditionally been a very important market for us and we are excited to be able to ensure the presence of our portfolio in all duly authorised operators now in this new stage that begins as a fully regulated market.” 

Peru signals the 28th market that Endorphina has entered, bolstering the company’s position across global markets as it continues to offer operator partners slot releases such as Valentine’s Heart and Book of Conquistador. 

Besides Endorphina, Betsoft Gaming has also targeted Peruvian expansion in recent weeks, having partnered with online casino operator Retabet to reach players in the nation.

Christmas is just around the corner so sit back and relax as we guide you through a selection of recently released festive slot titles, including Mancala Gaming’s sword-swinging Santa, seasonal sevens from Swintt and Endorphina’s jolly jigsaw. 

Santa the Slayer – Mancala Gaming

Mancala Gaming’s latest snowy slot release pits a battling Santa against demons, evil elves and snowmen in a 5×3 reel slot that has 20-paylines and a maximum win of up to x5,082 the player’s wager. This title has an RTP of 95 per cent. 

Low value symbols come in the form of playing card royals, with Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. These symbols can offer between x1 and x10 the player’s bet, depending on the number of winning combinations that land on a single spin.  

Meanwhile, witches, elves, snowmen and demons depict the high value symbols, offering between x2 and x250 the player’s wager. 

Bonus purple orbs can drop into play, displaying monetary prizes from x1 to x10 the player’s stake. 

Additionally, jackpot Santa symbols can appear, awarding x5, x25, x100, x250 or x1,000 the player’s bet when three, four, five or six land on the same spin. 

Landing six or more bonus orbs or jackpot symbols on the same spin will activate the hold and win-style game mode. 

In this hold-and-win game mode, players are given three spins to land as many bonus orbs or jackpot Santa symbols on any empty reel set as possible.

While all the triggering orbs or Santa symbols stay sticky in their positions on the board, as with all orbs or Santa symbols that appear subsequently,  all symbols that appear will reset the number of spins to three. 

Once all spins have been completed, the player will receive the accumulated value of all Santa symbols that have dropped into play. 

Finally, two wild battle Santa symbols are available, with 1×1-size wilds appearing with x2 multipliers and 1×2-size wilds appearing with a multiplier of x3. 

Seven Seven Xmas – Swintt

Swintt has placed a festive spin on its latest Christmassy slot release as players are presented with a 5×3 reel slot offering five-paylines and a maximum win of up to x1,000 the player’s bet. This seasonal slot has high volatility with an RTP of 95.25 per cent. 

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, stated: “The Seven Seven series of games is undoubtedly one of the most iconic in the entire Swintt catalogue – and with holiday season fast upon us, we wanted to give an old favourite a new festive makeover in our latest premium release, Seven Seven Xmas.

“Featuring all the classic design elements and mechanics that have made the Seven Seven slots such a huge hit with fans, Seven Seven Xmas is a high-variance game that offers players the chance to unwrap scatter wins and big prizes of up to x1,000 their stake. 

“This coupled with the slot’s fun, wintery aesthetic should ensure that it’s the perfect pre-Christmas release for all Swintt’s partners.”

Low value symbols come in the form of cherries, plums, oranges and lemons. If the right number of winning combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x1 and x40 the player’s bet. 

Meanwhile, watermelons and grapes depict the medium value symbols, offering between x10 and x100 the player’s preferred stake. 

High value symbols are represented by red lucky sevens. These symbols can offer between x20 and x1,000 the player’s bet, depending on the number of paying combinations that fall on a single spin.  

Lastly, fireball scatters can appear to provide wins between x2 and x50 the chosen stake regardless of paylines. 

Santa’s Puzzle – Endorphina

Father Christmas attempts to complete a jigsaw puzzle in Endorphina’s latest tinsel-filled slot release, presenting a 5×4 reel grid with 50-paylines and a maximum win of up to x1,000 the player’s wager. Players can expect an RTP of 96.06 per cent for this title. 

Bonus female character scatters are available on reels one and five, appearing in the four corner positions of the reel set. When four appear across all corners of the grid, the bonus game mode will be activated. 

For this bonus game, players are taken to a special jigsaw-shaped reel set that is 5×4-size with 20 jigsaw pieces available. 

Players are given three spins to land jigsaw pieces on the reels to fill up the available positions, with each jigsaw piece that appears resetting the number of spins to three. 

The four corner positions are filled as the game mode begins due to the positions of the triggering scatters, and each position that is filled offers a multiplied bet amount between x1 and x16 the player’s bet. 

If players manage to fill the jigsaw puzzle with all 20 pieces, they’ll receive the game’s maximum win of x1,000. 

Furthermore, players can choose to gamble at the end of every winning spin, risking their payout in order to double it. 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 without their payout.

Xmas Royale 100 – Fugaso

Our final slot in this festive round-up comes from Fugaso, which offered players 100 ways to win on a 5×4 reel slot that can provide wins of up to x5,000 the player’s chosen bet. This title has medium-high volatility with an RTP of 96 per cent. 

Low value symbols are represented by plums, cherries, lemons and oranges. If the right number of winning combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x0.05 and x2.5 the player’s bet. 

Meanwhile, watermelons, grapes, bars and stars depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.1 and x7.5 the player’s preferred bet. 

High value symbols come in the form of red and yellow lucky sevens. These symbols can provide wins between x0.5 and x12.5 the player’s bet, depending on the number of matching combinations that fall on one spin. 

Scatter bells can also appear, paying out independently from paylines when three or more appear on the same spin. If three, four or five bells land at once, players will receive respective prizes worth x4, x20 or x200 their bet. 

Furthermore, wild crowns are available, substituting for all symbols other than the bell scatters. Landing three, four or five wilds on a winning payline will payout x0.5, x5 or x50 the player’s bet, respectively.
