A 5×2, 20-payline slot, Xmas Secret harnesses everything players embrace around the Christmas season whilst also including a free spins mode and gamble feature. 

Matej Sopoci, SYNOT Games’ Chief Product Officer, commented: “With Christmas just around the corner, we couldn’t be more excited to roll out Xmas Secret, just to get everyone in the festive spirit.

“Players might catch a glimpse of a magical reindeer or get generous free spins with sticky extra wild symbols while wandering along the charming snowy scenery. 

“I hope Santa delivers some presents for everyone, especially when it’s our 100th released game.”

Within the game, the low value symbols come in the form of traditional A-10 royal symbols that offer the player between x0.25 and x3 the original bet, depending on the number of matching symbols in a single spin. 

Jumping up next in value is the sled and ice skating snowman. These two symbols will offer players between x0.75 the bet placed for a three-of-a-kind win and x5 for a winning combination of five. 

Slightly higher in value are the presents and golden bells, which provide the player with x6 for a five-of-a-kind win. 

The highest value regular symbol comes in the form of Rudolf himself, who gives players x0.25 the wager placed for two matching symbols and x20 for five. 

Alongside the regular paying symbols is the wild, which substitutes for all symbols, except the free spins and sticky extra wild symbols, and appears on reels two, three, four and five. 

During the base game, if the player lands three free spins symbols it will trigger the free spins mode, awarding the player with eight free spins. Alternatively, if the player lands four of these symbols, 16 free spins are awarded and five will lead to 24. 

In the free spins mode, each new sticky extra wild awards an additional free spin to the already allocated amount and can substitute for all symbols to form a winning combination. 

Xmas Secret comes with an RTP between 85.12 per cent and 97.94 per cent and has a medium volatility level. Readers who would like to find out more about SYNOT’s festive title can click here to be directed to the supplier’s official demo.

A six reel slot with between two and 10 rows, Queen of the Gods uses cascading wins and an extra horizontal top reel to offer players jackpot prizes of up to x10,000 the player’s stake. 

H Lisa Singer, VP of Brand & Strategy at High 5 Games, commented: ”Queen of the Gods has one million ways for players to win with the combined excitement of the proven mechanic of vertical and horizontal tumbling with the extended payout feature of triple symbols.

“High 5 Games creative game team designed another hit game. We expect this game to stay on the charts for a long time.”

During the base game, landing three, four, five or six bonus text scatters  at once will offer eight, 10, 12 or 15 free spins respectively. 

Additionally, wild text symbols are included. These wilds substitute for all symbols other than the scatter, but will substitute for more medium and high value symbols than their low value counterparts.

For medium and high value symbols, wilds can substitute as three symbols, however for low value symbols they will only substitute for one. These wilds can land on any reel other than the first one.

This game has cascading wins, meaning that symbols in a winning combination will disappear after providing their payout, making way for new symbols to increase the win potential of an already successful spin. 

Medium and high value symbols can appear with two or three icons in the same symbol. For example, if the medium value scorpion symbol appears with three scorpions showcased, this will count as three symbols in one when contributing to winning combinations. 

This release also has a top horizontal reel, which contributes to matching combinations in the same way as the rest of the reel-set by going from left to right.

During the free spins feature, each cascading win will increase a multiplier value to the side of the reels by one. This multiplier value will stay active during the entirety of the free spins. 

Landing three, four, five or six scatters during the free spins feature will award an additional eight, 10, 12 or 15 free turns. 

Furthermore, players have the option to buy the free spins bonus, for the price of x100 their preferred stake.

On a 7×7 reel set, Clash of the Seraphim uses cluster pays to award prizes to the player. The title comes with medium volatility and an RTP of 95.51 per cent and showcases bonus features such as enlarged high-paying symbols and free spins. 

Payouts are given out when five or more identical symbols land in a cluster and a maximum win of up to x3,938.4 the player’s stake is up for grabs. 

Wins are also cascading, meaning winning symbols will disappear after providing their payout, to make way for new symbols and increase the win potential. 

Additionally, flying shield wilds can appear, substituting for all symbols other than the scatter. Light and dark drop areas will appear on the reels, varying in size and location. If a wild lands in one of these special areas, then every symbol also contained in the drop area will turn into either the dark warrior or light goddess symbol. 

If a flying eye scatter drops to the bottom row, players get to choose between two free game modes on offer, with one dark and one light. The dark free spins mode offers eight spins with only dark drop areas available, whereas the light mode provides the player with 15 free spins and only light drop areas appear.

A 3×3, 27-payline slot, 3 Mermaids includes an array of features including a Sticky Jellyfish respin, Nudging Octopus wild and Wild Shark multiplier. In addition, the title comes with a medium volatility level and two RTPs – 92.06 and 95.07 per cent. 

Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, explained: “3 Mermaids is a well balanced slot where the simple design of the mechanics, rhythmic gameplay, and win distribution work in perfect harmony to deliver an engaging player experience. 

“We can’t wait to see how the game performs.”

The Octopus Nudging wild feature is triggered when the octopus wild lands on reel one. Once this happens, it pushes other symbols up or down, expanding across the whole column to give out a win if part of a paying combination.

In addition, the title includes the Sticky Jellyfish respin that is activated when the jellyfish mermaid appears on the second reel, triggering a respin feature. During the bonus game, it substitutes for all symbols, except for wild symbols, to complete winning combinations. The respin is played at the same bet as the spin that brought about the bonus round and its count is always one. 

Moving onto the Wild Shark Multiplier, this feature is activated by the shark mermaid on the third reel and comes with added win potential thanks to a x2 multiplier attributed to the payout.

As a 5×5 reel slot, the title offers players prolific payouts in the form of scatter-pays, creating the chance of a maximum win of x5,000 the player’s preferred bet. 

This format means symbols can land anywhere on the reels to give out a win, as long as there is a minimum of six identical symbols at once. 

“Bee Hive Bonanza players will love the oh-so-sweet reactions between the different types of hive and bee symbols,” explained James Jones, Head of Business Development at Evolution, NetEnt’s parent company.

“The team has created a mediaeval, greenery-surrounded world where bee knights humbly serve the royal bee while ensuring that the pots are always full of honey. 

“Bee Hive Bonanza is an entertaining example of fable meeting fun in a great gaming experience.”

Money bees land on the reels with a cash value that is either x1, x2, x5 or x10 the player’s stake. If they land on the reels at the same time as a beehive then the beehive will collect its cash value and provide it to the player.

Bee hive symbols with adder or multiplier features will either increase the value of money bees by the price of the bet value or multiply the money bee cash value by two. 

Additionally, honey pot symbols can drop onto the reels. Landing three, four or five of these symbols in a single spin will award 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively.

With the free spins feature, additional scatters that land on the reels will be collected before disappearing in a cascade. Collecting more than three scatters during the free spins will award two more free spins with a select multiplier to be attributed to the final free spins payout.

As a 5×3 reel, 20-payline video slot, Bull in a Rodeo is a sequel to Benny the Bull’s first slot appearance released well over a year ago, Bull in a China Shop. 

This latest edition to the Bull series sees Benny frustratingly encaged within a rodeo, giving players the chance to reap rewards of up to x2,000 their stake by setting him free.

“We’ve been looking to give Benny the Bull a new adventure since he caused mayhem in Bull in a China Shop,” stated Charlotte Miliziano, Head of Games at Play’n GO.

“We pride ourselves on our characters and their development. What’s their next move? Have they made some new friends along the way? These characters provide humorous storylines that players can’t get enough off. I wonder what Benny’s next adventure might be…”

Landing Benny the Bull wilds onto the reels can offer different wild features depending on his mood, and it only takes one wild to drop into play to activate these features. If Benny is angry then he will turn into his x2 multiplier version, dropping more multiplying wilds around the board to increase the win potential.

If Benny is happy, then he will drop more wilds onto the reels, but they will be the standard non-multiplying wild symbols. If Benny is looking proud then he will turn into an expanding wild, growing to fill out an entire reel.

Furthermore, if players can land a gate scatter on the reels at the same time as a Benny wild, then the freedom spins game mode will be activated.

With this feature, Benny breaks out of the rodeo, offering ten free spins to the player. The standard blue bull wilds can only drop into play during this game mode, and three are guaranteed to drop in after every win. They surround winning paylines to give an increased payout.

Street Muse is a street-fashion themed, no symbol slot where only multipliers are in play with 243 ways to win and a maximum win of up to x10,000 the player’s stake.

Symbols that appear on the reels have no locked value as the multipliers change randomly on each spin. One character could have a x1 multiplier on one spin, and a x3 multiplier on the next. Standard multipliers range between x1 and x10, but can reach x100 with the bonus features.

The game has eight reels, with the furthest three locked at the start of play. Payouts are given when five reels drop on a spin without any of them being a x0 multiplier. If no x0 falls into play, then the five multipliers displayed on each reel will be added together to multiply the player’s original bet and give the payout. 

The three reels to the right can randomly give out special features, with up to three features able to occur at once. The revive feature can be randomly activated on any losing combination with one x0, turning it into a x1 and completing a payout in the process. 

The bump feature enhances an already successful combination by adding one to the value of each multiplier along the reels. The freeze feature takes your highest multiplier reel and freezes it in position for the next three spins whereas the strike feature can add a sixth multiplier on top of the five regular reels.

Released exclusively at Rox Casino and Izzi Casino, the six-rell, 200,704-payline video slot will go on general release in August where players network-wide can experience the highly volatile slot. 

“Considering the fact that some players value variety while others stick to particular math or mechanics, we wanted to create an experience valuable for both categories of users,” explained Kate Puteiko, Marketing Product Lead at BGaming. 

“The Megaways mechanics have already earned the attention and love of the igaming community, the same as the original version of our Lucky Lady Moon. I believe this synergy will increase players’ engagement and provide a new way of entertainment.”

The mystic title comes with a free spins mode and refilling reels, along with a maximum win of x6,000 the stake placed and incorporates and RTP of 96.84 per cent. 

In the game, after every spin winning combination payout, all winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen and empty positions are replaced with new symbols coming from above. This refill will continue until no more wins appear. 

During the base game, the player can activate the free spins mode by landing three or more scatter symbols. Before the round commences, a Wheel of Fortune will determine a random number of free spins – between five and 15 – and a multiplier – between x2 and x25 – which will be in play for the duration of the round. 

If three or more scatters drop during the free spins mode, the feature retriggers. On every retrigger, the Wheel of Fortune will appear again and award another set of random numbers and multipliers. These are added to the current value already in play.
