With the industry preparing for next week’s SBC Summit Rio, several slot releases have hit the iGaming Expert inbox. Take a breather as we welcome the weekend by guiding you through what the industry has to offer, including a fruity Slot of the Week and a futuristic spin on Ancient Egypt.
Slot of the Week
BGaming – All-Star Fruits
BGaming received the latest Slot of the Week award by placing a wheel-spinning twist on a classic fruit theme with its new slot release, All-Star Fruits.
All-Star Fruits presents a 5×3 reel slot with 243 ways to win and a maximum win worth x1,500 the player’s stake. The slot has medium volatility with an RTP worth 97.04%.
Yulia Aliakseyeva, Chief Product Officer at BGaming, commented: “Fruit-themed slots remain a solid staple of most players’ diets, and with All-Star Fruits, we have added a fresh spin to the genre.
“The ability to buy your way into the Super Spins round adds a little extra flavour, and we have no doubt the title will appeal to lovers of both old-school games and modern slots.”
Scatter stars can appear on the reels, awarding 10, 15 or 25 free spins and instant payouts worth x2, x10 or x50 the player’s bet when three, four or five land on the same spin, respectively.
During the free spins game mode, a multiplier is applied to random wins. This multiplier is revealed by a wheel above the reels, which can award between x1 and x10 multipliers.
Additionally, players can buy access to a magic spins game mode, where every spin is enhanced by a multiplier. The multiplier range also increases with this feature, being able to offer multipliers between x2 and x25.
Featured slots
Glyph of Gods – Relax Gaming
Enhanced glyph cells supply exciting wins, as Relax Gaming placed an intergalactic spin on an Ancient Egyptian theme in its latest slot, Glyph of Gods.
The slot uses a 6×5 reel grid with 15,625 ways to win and a maximum win worth x10,000 while offering high volatility and a 96.1% RTP.
Shelley Hannah, CPO at Relax Gaming, stated: “With Glyph of Gods, we’ve created a feature-rich slot that maximises player engagement through sticky glyphs and cascading mechanics.
“The medium volatility combined with free spins, bonus modes, and big win potential makes this an exciting title for both players and operators.”
Various ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics depict the low value symbols, including feathers, the Eye of Horus and birds. These symbols can award wins between x0.05 and x0.2 the player’s stake, depending on the number of matching combinations that land on one spin.
Meanwhile, ancient Egyptian gods Bastet, Sobek, Anubis, Horus and a Pharoah represent the high value symbols, providing wins between x0.15 and x1.5 the player’s bet.
Scarab beetle scatters can also appear on the reels, awarding the choice of one of two free spins features when three or more land on one spin, or a super free spins feature where both features are combined when four or more land at once.
Furthermore, wild Ankh symbols can drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the scarab scatters.
Cascading wins occur in this feature, causing winning symbols to disappear after providing their payout, making way for new symbols to appear from above the reels.
Throughout the game, different cells on the reels can drop glyph symbols into play. These will first appear as empty before spinning around to either reveal nothing, a paytable symbol, a wild or a scarab scatter.
If any of the glyph symbols reveal a paytable symbol, this will appear across all of them to increase the chances of a winning combination being formed. However, these wins will not cascade.
During one of the two free spins features, all glyph symbols will remain in their places for the duration of the game mode. The other feature sees any symbols revealed by the glyph symbols collected in a meter beside the reels – applying themselves to any glyph symbols that appear.
Both of these features are active in the super free spins game mode.
40 Coins of Chance – SYNOT Games
Mystery symbols reveal spin-enhancing coins in the latest shiny slot release from SYNOT Games, 40 Coins of Chance, a 5×4 reel slot with 40-paylines and a maximum win worth x1,000. This slot has medium-low volatility and a 95.98% RTP.
Michael Polák, Game Producer at SYNOT Games, stated: “40 Coins of Chance is crafted for those who appreciate a classic aesthetic with the excitement of a modern feature. Its medium-low volatility ensures a smooth and rewarding gameplay experience, enhanced by elegant visuals and an engaging mechanic.”
Low value symbols come in the form of cherries, lemons, oranges and plums. These symbols can provide wins between x0.2 and x2 the player’s stake, depending on the number of paying combinations that land on one spin.
Next up, grapes and watermelons depict the medium value symbols, awarding wins between x0.4 and x4 the player’s preferred bet.
High value symbols are represented by bells and red lucky sevens. If the right number of matching combinations land on one spin, these symbols can award between x0.8 and x25 the player’s wager.
Mystery portal symbols can land on the reels, expanding to cover full reels when three or more mystery portals have dropped into play. These expanded mystery reels will then reveal a special coin in each cell, instantly awarding between x1 and x50 each.
Finally, jesters can land on the reels, acting as wild symbols that substitute for all symbols other than mystery portals.
