La Tomatina

The La Tomatina festival is an annual food fighting festival that takes place in Buñol, a town in the province of Valencia. It is held on the last Wednesday of August and has been held every year since 1945, barring 2020. Participants engage in a tomato fight for entertainment purposes. It is on this festival that La Tomatina by Tom Horn Gaming is based. Here, you join forces with two locals, Sergio and Fernando, for a wild experience as you amass piles of smashed tomatoes and juicy wins!

The game plays on 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 fixed paylines. It is a medium volatility slot with an RTP of 95.05%. It offers a maximum win of 510 times your stake and a betting range of $0.4 to $80. The game offers 2 wilds, a yellow tomato wild and a red tomato wild, that pay 12.5x and 7.5x respectively per line win. The wilds can also substitute other symbols to form a winning combination.

The special features available here are the Flux Spins and Sticky Respins.

The flux spins are activated randomly when Fernando throws red tomatoes on the reels. When the tomatoes land, they become wilds in the base game and wilds with 2x multipliers during the free spins. The wild expands vertically downwards with each spin and this feature ends when the wild reaches the bottom row.
Sergio triggers the sticky response feature by throwing yellow tomatoes at the reels. The tomato changes into a wild with a 1x multiplier in the base game, and one with a 2x multiplier in the respin feature; and is locked in place on the reels until the feature ends.

Number of Paylines: 40	RTP: 95.05%
Min Bet: 0.40	Max Bet: 80
Max Payout: 510x	Software Provider: Tom Horn Gaming

Blazing Mammoth

Blazing Mammoth is a collaborative effort between industry giant Microgaming and PearFiction studies. It is the second joint production between both of these studios and it is going to be released as a Microgaming exclusive. It is a slot themed on prehistoric times, as you might have guessed from the titles featuring creatures like mammoths, sabertooth tigers, wolves, and rhinos on its reels.

Blazing Mammoth plays on a 5 by 3 reel with a total of 20 paylines. It is a low volatility slot with an RTP of 96.24% and offers a maximum payout of 2,000 times your stake, and features a jackpot feature worth up to $240,000. The game offers a betting range of $0.20 to $120. The game’s wild symbol is a golden W. It can step in for any regular symbol to form a winning combination and can earn you a payout of 125x for landing 5 wilds on a payline.

The jackpot feature is triggered by the scatter symbol. The game features an instant jackpot ladder on the left of the reels. When you land 3 to 9 mammoth scatters anywhere on the reels in a single spin, you win a prize commiserate to what’s on the ladder (from 1x to 2000x). The jackpot feature is available during the base game and the free spins feature.

To activate the free spins, you have to land 3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4. After this, you spin the free spins wheel to determine how many free spins you get. The wheel awards you a number of free spins between 10 and 30 and a 2x or 3x multiplier. You should note that the multiplier doesn’t apply to mammoth jackpot wins. The free spins feature can be retriggered.

Gold Hunter

Hunt for gold and other treasures and win exciting payouts with this gold mining themed online slot by Booming Games. The game features a setup of 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines, with the 5th reel only displaying wild multipliers. It is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 95.50% and a maximum payout of 2,320 times your stake. Gold Hunter offers a wide betting range of $0.10 to $250.

The game looks like you’d expect from a mining-themed game with its shiny reels containing symbols like the four standard Royals (Jack to Ace), oil lamps, gold nuggets, a miner, dynamite wilds, and the Free Spins logo over a background of soil and wood. The 5th reel however looks different as it displays only wild multipliers. The dynamite wild functions as a regular wild symbol, it appears on reels 1 to 4 and can replace all of the symbols, aside from the scatter symbol, to form a winning combination.

The special features available here are the wild multiplier feature and the free spins feature. When you land matching symbols on reels 1 to 4 on a payline, the 5th reel position automatically acts as a wild multiplier, turning your combination into a 5-symbol combo. You can get multipliers of up to 50x from these wilds. You trigger the free spins feature by landing 3 or 4 scatters on the reels on the same spin. Landing 3 scatters wins you 3 free spins while landing 4 scatters wins you 7 free spins.

Number of Paylines: 10	RTP: 95.50%
Min Bet: 0.10	Max Bet: 250
Max Payout: 2,320x	Software Provider: Booming Games

It is set in the wilds of Africa and is the sixth PopWins slot that has been released through Yggdrasil’s YGS Masters program. The slot plays on 5 reels, and 3 to 8 rows due to the PopWins mechanics. It features a whopping 486 to 65,536 paylines and has a maximum payout of 48,150 times your wager. The betting range here is $0.20 to $40. HippoPop is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.1%.

On the reels are symbols divided into 3 classes:

The lower paying symbols – the card royals J, Q, K and A.
The medium paying symbols – a fish, a parrot and a frog in a sculpted glass.
The higher paying symbols – a zebra, a tiger, a flamingo, and the golden hippo.

The golden hippo is the highest paying symbol here, it pays 1, 2 or 4 times your total stake for landing 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. The payout from the hippo can increase significantly during the free spin feature.

The bonus features available here are PopWins, multiplier, Bonus wheel, and free spins features.

PopWins feature: When you land a winning combination, the symbols that make up the combination pop and are replaced by 2 new symbols, with the rows expanding also. This feature can be retriggered and remains in play for as long as winning combinations are formed. The reels can expand to have 6 rows in the base game, and 8 rows during the free spins.
The Multiplier feature comes into play when a reel is fully extended in the base game (6 rows tall). The multiplier rises by 1x until no more winning combinations are formed.
The free spin feature is also triggered by fully extending the reels. You are awarded 5 or more free spins, depending on a spinning bonus wheel. Any multipliers active in the base game are carried over to the free spins. You get a 1x multiplier for each pop win in the free spins.

The symbols here are the A to 9 royals, zebras, meerkats, wildebeests, lions, and alligators. The alligator is the most lucrative symbol.

The game plays on 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 paylines. It has an RTP of 96% and a maximum payout of 20,000 times your bet. It is a high volatility slot with a betting range of $0.20 to $60.

It merges and synchronizes anything from two to four reels to create just one or multiple synced reel partitions. Depending on how many rows are synced, you can have 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 Gigablox symbols appear on them.

Comparing the USA and Canada Online Casino Landscapes

February 22, 2024 William Mcmaster

Considering that they share a border, it’s not much of a surprise that the two largest countries in the Americas are compared often. One notable point of comparison between them is online gambling. Though both countries share a passion for online gambling, they differ on every other count as far as the casino landscape is concerned. Let’s take a look at the difference between USA online casino laws and those of Canada.

Difference in Regulations

In the 1900s, gambling laws in the USA and Canada were not different from each other; it was pretty much illegal everywhere you went in both countries. While that is no longer the case in either country – there are now less strict levels of restriction in the gambling laws of both nations and gambling is no longer illegal – both countries have taken different routes to reach that stage.

The US introduced the Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006. The law sought to prohibit casinos and other gambling organizations from approving any bets that were placed via the use of the internet. While that law persisted, online gambling in Canada began to increase in popularity.

In 2018, though, the US made up for the lost time by striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) that had restricted sports betting in the country for 25 years. It also ruled in favor of New Jersey, legalizing sports betting in online casinos and horse racing tracks. In that period, sports betting in the US has taken massive strides in the states where it is allowed. Sports betting is not yet considered as prominent within Canada.

What might count as the most significant difference between casino regulations in the US and Canada is that online gambling is legal across Canada. The country’s government simply doesn’t grant licenses to online casinos, meaning there are not a lot of online casinos based there. Canadians who are interested in online gambling typically register at and play casino games at online casinos based offshore. There are also some online casinos in Canada that are operated from within Mohawk Territory. Some of these territories provide licenses to online casinos with the most prominent of these being the Kahnawake Gambling Commission.

However, in the US, online gambling is regulated differently in each state. Residents in states with legalized online gambling can register to play at online casinos, but residents in states that haven’t do not have that privilege – same country; different online casino regulations.

Gaming and Currency Disparities

One notable difference in the casino landscape between the USA and Canada is in the way online casinos are played. Online casinos in Canada are known for allowing free trials for casino games more often than not. These free trials help players get familiar with the games before staking real money, and are encountered more often in Canadian online casinos than in US casinos.

Playing online poker, roulette, or blackjack in the US is a slightly less lucrative endeavor than it is in Canada. Up north, players are permitted to spend whatever winnings are made without having to pay taxes. The US however taxes 25% of every win made on online gambling.

Another difference to note is in the currency. The US dollar is the most generally accepted currency in casinos online, alongside the Euro and British Pound. Quite simply, Canadian dollars do not come with that level of acceptance. This means that online casinos in Canada, especially those based offshore, will prefer to convert deposits or withdrawals made in CAD to USD rather than list the former as an accepted currency.

Software Providers and Popularity

Due to the generally accepted nature of online casinos across Canada, players in the country are able to access games from top software providers all over the world. Several popular game providers are restricted from providing games in online casinos in certain states in the US. These providers include NetEnt, Playtech, Quickspin, and Microgaming.

Banking options in both countries don’t hold too many differences. Deposits and withdrawals can be made via debit/credit cards or with several e-wallet options. Withdrawal times vary between different casinos and are not dependent on the country it is located.

As far as popularity is concerned, there isn’t so much to separate both countries. Major gambling states in the US, such as New Jersey and Nevada, can boast of having online casino popularity levels that could rival any in Canada.

The differences in the casino landscape in the US and Canada are quite extensive, but both countries are firmly on the upward path as far as online gambling is concerned. Different countries; same trajectory.

Gaming Giant Bragg Gaming Buys Wild Streak in US Expansion Plans

February 22, 2024 William Mcmaster

Bragg Gaming Group announced its acquisition of Nevada-based game studio firm Wild Streak Gaming in its continuous expansion plan as it seeks to enter the US market.

The deal, which experts regard as one of the boldest moves made by the company, involves the owners of Wild Streak receiving $10 million in cash at closing and $20 million in the form of Bragg shares within three years, buying all of its membership subscriptions (BusinessWire, 2021).

The agreement sees Wild Streak transferring proprietary ownership of a library containing 39 premium casino content leads, including top-performing and-based conversions. It also gives Bragg Gaming ownership rights over a large collection of intellectual property, including designs for games, mathematical works, advanced game mechanics, targeting the US markets.

Other details of the deal show that Doug Fallon, CEO, and founder at Wild Streak, will be joining the team at Bragg as Managing Director of Group Content. The move is to allow Fallon to oversee Bragg’s strategy for content creation in the US while collaborating with teams all over Europe to integrate Bragg’s content for the US market.

In the announcement, Chief Executive Officer of Bragg Gaming, Richard Carter, said, “In an industry where premium content is king, Doug and his team have built up an enviable track record of developing leading premium casino slot content for both the land-based and online casino industry. We look forward to integrating this know-how into Bragg’s overall offering and significantly expanding the Company’s higher-margin proprietary in-house casino slot content capabilities.”

This deal will see Bragg accomplish their mission of becoming a Tier one integrated B2B business giant running operations in both US and Canada.

As a follower of our gist on the best new slots each week, you should know by now that we only seek out the top slots from renowned developers. This week too, we’ve got you covered with slot games designed with exciting themes, mouth-watering bonuses, and monstrous wins. Here, we give you a glimpse into what these games have to offer and once you’re done, you can play them at a reliable casino to experience the thrills for yourself. Ready? Let’s dive in.

5 New Slots To Check Out

Many slots are scheduled to be released this week but we’ve only picked the top five. These games were created by developers: Microgaming, Big Time Gaming, Pragmatic Play, iSoftBet, and 4ThePLayer. Now, let’s explore what they’ve prepared for you.

Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways

Throughout this month, we’ve seen a number of Greek mythology-themed slot games. Well, it appears that slot game developers are not through. The Ancient Fortunes series was launched over a year ago and this week, the second installment was released with Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways. Poseidon is the trident-wielding Greek god of the sea, water, earthquakes, and horses. He is the central character of this new slot game created by Triple Edge Studios for Microgaming and released on Tuesday, 26th May, 2021.

Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways is a 6-reel, Rolling Reels video slot game with an RTP of 95.98% and Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic. Hence, the number of symbols that appear on each reel changes with each spin. As a result, the number of paylines for winning combos is changed as well. If you land the maximum number of symbols on all 6 reels, you’ll have a total of 117,649 ways to create a winning combination. A winning combo is gotten when 3 to 6 matching symbols or wilds land on adjacent reels, beginning with the first one.

There are three bonus features on Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways – Rolling Reels, Jackpot Pick Game, and Free Spins. In Rolling Reels, symbols that make up a winning combo are removed from the reels and new ones drop in their place for the chance to create new winning combos. If you do land a new one, the process repeats itself until there are none created by the new symbols.

The Jackpot Pick Game is randomly triggered on any spin after Rolling Reels. When this happens, you’ll get the chance to pick three of 12 tokens, each associated with a jackpot prize. When you pick 3 of the same jackpot, you’ll be awarded the relevant prize, the maximum being 5,000x your total stake.

You can win unlimited free spins with the Free Spins feature, triggered when you spell out the world ‘GOLD’, with the game’s scatter symbols. Multipliers also set in during this feature to dramatically increase your payout.

Poseidon’s underwater kingdom is where the reels are set with well-designed symbols that match this theme beautifully. The orchestral soundtrack that plays in the background also complements the visuals perfectly. One thing we’re sure you won’t lack here is an immersive gaming experience so get your coins ready to spin the reels.

Number of Paylines: 117,649	RTP: 95.98%
Min Bet: 0.40	Max Bet: 40
Max Payout: 23,000x	Software Provider: Microgaming

King of Cats Megaways

King of Cats Megaways is an intriguing, revolutionary online slot game by Big Time Gaming, released on Wednesday, 26th May, 2021. It is the first slot game to apply the PLAYERSELECT engine where you get to choose a game mode to play in before you begin to spin the reels. Each game mode comes with its own unique features and as you may imagine, it makes the game attractive and fun to play.

In King of Cats Megaways, a lion and a puma are out to get your attention but each is king in its habitat. You can choose to play in the Lion Mode or the Puma mode for the chance to win up to 56,620x the worth of your bet. The game’s RTP varies slightly, depending on which mode you play, from 96.7% to 96.72%. Just like other Megaways slot games, there are 6 reels on the game where 2 to 7 symbols can appear. The more symbols you land, the higher the number of winning ways you get with the highest number of symbols giving you 117,649 ways to win.

The Lion and Puma modes of King of Cats Megaways each have unique features but they also have the PLAYERSELECT and Free Spins features in common. The main bonus feature in the Lion Mode is the Wild Lion Multipliers feature that can give you a max win of 6,060x your stake in the base game. Its Free Spins feature comes with unlimited free spins which can be triggered with 3 to 6 scatter symbols. The Puma mode offers something similar but the max win in the base game here is 1,070x your stake. It makes up for this with the max win of 56,620x your stake which can be gotten in its Free Spins feature.

The visuals of Big Time Gaming’s King of Cats Megaways meets the top-notch standard that you’ll find on other slot games by the developer. Each game mode features the cat in its unique habitat and corresponding symbols for a user-oriented experience. You can play it today on your mobile or desktop device.

The Magic Cauldron Enchanted Brew uses a Clusters Pays mechanic on a 7×7, tumbling reels engine. To win, you must form clusters of 5 or more identical symbols or wilds. The Tumbling Feature is activated every time you get a win and it removes symbols that make the win from the grid, replacing them with new ones. There are also five Progressive features that you can play in turn after landing a winning combo. They are the:

Apes of Wrath

In the thick of the rich rainforest lies all the goodness that Apes of Wrath from iSoftBet offers everyone willing to come in. It is a pretty standard video slot game but it combines the feel of a land-based casino slot with more modern online slot features. Scheduled for release on Sunday, 30th May, 2021, Apes of Wrath contains animals of the jungle, including a bird, crocodile, lemur, and gorilla.

There are two bonus features to help you achieve huge payouts in Apes of Wrath – Wild Ape Respins and Free Spins. Wild Ape Respins is triggered when 3 full stacks of gorilla symbols land on adjoining reels. For this, you first get 3 respins that can be used on an expanded slot machine with 4 rows, instead of 3. As a result, you’ll create twice the number of paylines, giving you a total of 40.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when you land the bonus symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5 in one spin. When this happens, you’ll be able to spin the bonus reel which determines how many spins you’ll get and the number of extra wilds they will add to the reels during the free spins.

Ape of Wrath’s RTP is 96.01% and the maximum win is 1,000x the worth of your bet. Play the game today and see if you can hit this big win.

Max Payout:1,000x	Software Provider: iSoftBet

3 Secret Cities

It’s all about the gold in a lost temple in Aztec-themed slot, 3 Secret Cities, by fast-growing casino game company, 4ThePLayer. One thing to look forward to here is the BONUS UP feature where you work up your way through a map to reach three cities. Each city comes with a measure of variety in what you can play in the Temple Free Spins bonus round.

3 Secret Cities features 5 reels, 4 rows, and 1024 ways to win. A winning combo is obtained when 3 to 5 matching symbols appear on adjacent reels, beginning with the leftmost one. If high-value symbols are involved, you only need 2 to form a winning combo. With an RTP of 96.5%, it is a highly volatile slot game with the maximum win obtainable on a single spin being 50,000x the worth of your stake.

When you play this game on a mobile device, you’ll see the option of the BIG REELS portrait mode where the reels are enlarged and stacked on top of each other. In this arrangement, the reels spin from left to right but pay from top to bottom.

The bonus features here are the BONUS UP feature, Temple Free Spins bonus and Buy, which lets you access bonus features faster by paying for them.

How Xtremepush is Growing the iGaming Industry

February 22, 2024 William Mcmaster

The goal of every online casino operator is to provide high-quality gaming experiences that will get customers hooked and keep them coming back for more. To achieve this, they have to be able to communicate with them and know the exact things to keep them engaged as they navigate through the online casino or sports betting site. Xtremepush offers gambling platform operators the chance to do this with services in customer engagement and personalization.

Who is Xtremepush?

Xtremepush is an innovative multichannel marketing automation platform that specializes in using data-driven practices to deliver real-time content to its brand’s customers to increase engagement and revenue. The platform was launched in 2014 and now has headquarters in Dublin and offices in Europe and the United States (Xtremepush, 2021).

The Xtremepush platform first of all helps you build your database with the chance to integrate already existing ones. This makes it easier to access and draw up insights and analytics on customer behavior which can be used to drive campaigns. Next, using information from the data collected and stored on the platform, you can engage your audience using the web and mobile app push notifications, onsite or in-app messages, and inboxes.

Xtremepush’s core selling point is that they help brands influence customers to perform desired actions. This is possible with their suite of tools that can be used to automatically generate personalized content for an optimized campaign. Based on the customer’s decisions, Xtremepush creates messages built for that moment to literally push customers to carry out desired actions.

Xtremepush and the iGaming Industry

Xtremepush is the perfect platform for iGaming operators to facilitate customer onboarding and retention. With well-compiled data on Xtremepush, operators can see the various touchpoints for every player that visits their sites. What is even more interesting is that the automated, personalized content messaging that this platform offers can be used to reach customers at these touchpoints to trigger them to reach a specific goal.

Last month, Xtremepush began a partnership with visual marketing giant, Movable Ink, to facilitate individualized content for the companies’ clients. Online casino operators that take advantage of this platform can expect to see massive conversions on their marketing campaigns (ZoomInfo, 2021).

The process begins with push notifications on the casino website or mobile app and even unrelated websites to guide new players through the process of creating accounts at the casino.

New Slots To Be Released on Week 19 of 2021

Slot game lovers around the world are in for a great time this year 2021; we know this because since the year began, new and exciting slots have been released every week. Top online casino game developers keep raising the bar with the new array of games that they have lined up. Newer developers aren’t here to play either as they’re bent on leveling up by releasing equally amazing games.

We’ve taken a tour of online casino game libraries to bring you the best new slots of week 19 of 2021 for you to try out. These five slot games stand out among the rest with intriguing themes, excellent visuals, and loads of bonus features. One thing is sure with every game that we highlight here – a trial will keep you coming back for more.

5 New Slots To Check Out

The suppliers of the best 5 new slots that will be released in week 19 of 2021 are Microgaming, Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play, and Gamomat. Sit back, relax, and let’s explore some of the new casino gaming adventures that these top developers want to take you on.

Atlantis Rising

The lost kingdom of Atlantis has formed a major part of different aspects of entertainment in our world, including movies and novels, hence, it’s not surprising that we would find it in casino gaming as well. In Atlantis Rising, Microgaming takes you on a trip through the magnificent underwater kingdom for increased chances of cashing out with the slot’s innovative Rising Wilds mechanic. It was released on Tuesday, May 11th, 2021.

Atlantis Rising is a 5-reel online slot game with 25 paylines and an RTP of 96.20%. The maximum win of 500x the stake on the game is lower than what you would find on similar slot games but it is a low to medium variance slot. This means that you can get small but frequent wins as you spin the reels.

The Rising Wilds in the game are represented by golden bubbles which randomly pop up on your screen as the reels spin. They rise towards the surface of the water at the top of the reels with every new spin, giving you the chance to make winning combinations by attaching to the symbol above. Sometimes, they come with 2x multipliers and continue to rise until they’re completely off the grid.

The Wild Blast feature in Atlantis Rising is activated when the golden compass, the highest-paying symbol, combines with the golden bubble. This combo transforms all surrounding symbols into wilds, creating a larger win. There is also a Free Spins feature that is activated when three scatter Trident symbols appear on the reels. The number of free spins gotten is determined by a mini-game called Bubble Pick.

The display of Atlantis Rising isn’t as modern as one would expect but it works anyway. The reels are set in a hallway with ancient statues wielding tridents on both sides. The game’s symbols are also made up of aquatic animals and a god and goddess who seem like the rulers of the terrain. Overall, Atlantis Rising is a decent game that you’re sure to enjoy playing.

Number of Paylines: 25	RTP: 96.20%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 500x	Software Provider: Microgaming

Primate King

Say hello to a primate on rampage in Red Tiger’s nature-themed slot called Primate King. You don’t have to be scared, though, because the angry ape here is there to increase your wins. This is not the first time that Red Tiger will be creating such a slot game and as expected, they have delivered a top-tier slot game that fans will enjoy playing. Primate King was released on Thursday, 13th May and can now be enjoyed in online casinos across the globe.

There are 5 reels with 4 rows and 30 paylines on Primate King. Its RTP is 96.00% and a maximum win of 3,800x your bet is obtainable on spinning the reels. There are no bonus features in this game so this max win can be gotten while randomly spinning. The payout ranges from 3 to 15x your bet for five identical symbols on the reels, but it can go as high as 6 to 30x your bet if you get six matching symbols when the game’s special sixth reel is unlocked.

The special sixth reel on Primate King is not unique to this slot game; there are other Red Tiger slots with the same mechanism. The sixth reel, when unlocked, can be used to create a higher paying win combo. To get it, you have to collect enough gold coins to fill the Progress Meter. The Primate King himself is the wild and he substitutes for all other symbols. He also acts as the base for the Primate Upgrade feature.

In the Primate Upgrade feature, a random symbol with a golden coin appears on the reels and gives up its coin to fill the Progress Meter. When this meter is filled to a certain degree, new wild features will be unlocked. There are three levels to be unlocked here, each one with its special features such as stacked wilds, multipliers, and sticky wilds.

Red Tiger is known for giving their all when it comes to their games’ visuals and we see that in Primate King too. The jungle-inspired theme of the game is impressive with lush vegetation and scary skulls that imply that this Primate King is out to eliminate anyone that tries to stand in his way, much like King Kong.

Number of Paylines: 30	RTP: 96.00%
Min Bet: 0.10	Max Bet: 10
Max Payout: 3,800x your stake	Software Provider: Red Tiger

Mega Moolah Goddess

If you’ve been in the world of slot games for long enough, Mega Moolah is a name that you’re definitely familiar with. It is one of the most popular progressive jackpot slot games in the online casino space since it was first launched in 2009 as Mega Moolah Isis. This May, Microgaming is back with a new Mega Moolah variant called Mega Moolah Goddess. The game was also released on Thursday, the 13th and is already available in top online casinos.

Mega Moolah Goddess is an Egyptian-themed video slot that features 5 reels with 3 rows and 25 ways to win. As expected, there is a massive progressive jackpot offer here but there are also multiplier wilds, scatters, and free spins to increase the total value of your payout. The maximum win here is 3,612x the worth of your bet but the Progrssive jackpot could give you more.

Like other progrssive jackpot slots, the jackpot can be randomly triggered during any spin in the base game. When that opens, you’ll have to spin a wheel and where the pointer stops is what will determine the size of your jackpot. There are four jackpot prizes here namely:

Mini Jackpot – E10
Minor Jackpot – E100
Major Jackpot – E10000
Mega Jackpot – E1,000,000

Number of Paylines: 25	RTP: 93.3%
Min Bet: 0.25	Max Bet: 25
Max Payout: 3,612x/Progressive Jackpot	Software Provider: Microgaming

Phoenix Forge

The Phoenix is a mythical bird with madical, regenerative powers. It is said to be reborn from its ashes and is a powerful symbol in various cultures of the world. One would expect that a slot game named after the bird would portray this in some way, but that’s not what we see in Pragmatic Play’s Phoenix Forge, instead, you’re taken into a cave filled with loads of treasures. The slot game was released on May 13th and is one of the top slots that the game developer has for us this May.

Phoenix Forge was designed with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylies that pay from left to right, beginning with the leftmost one. 3 or more matching symbols on the reels will earn you a payout that varies depending on the symbols that you land. With a 96.51% RTP and high variance, you may not win as often but you can play for a maximum cash out of 5,000x the worth of your stake.

There are three bonus symbols in this game – the Tumble Feature, Hot Spot Multiplier, and Free Spins. Tumble is activated whenever you land a winning combo so that symbols that makeup the winning combo are removed from the grid and new ones replace them. Hot Spot Multiplier kicks in right after and a multiplier is added to the position where the symbols are removed from. There are up to 20 free spins up for grabs in Phoenix Forge, depending on the number of bonus symbols you get.

Number of Paylines: 20	RTP: 96.42%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 5,100x	Software Provider: Pragmatic Play

Monkey Mania

It looks like week 19 of 2021 is for the primates as Gamomat brings you another animal-themed slot about apes that was released this week. Unlike the jungle we explored earlier, this one is filled with monkeys and other cute animals, like lion cubs waiting for you to play with them. If you’re an animal lover, get ready because this slot game is going to get you all up in your feelings.

Designed with a 5×3 reel layout, Monkey Mania lets you decide how many paylines you would like to have on the game – 10, 20, or 30. It has an average RTP of 96.17% and medium volatility. The wild is a Monkey symbol and it substitutes for every other one, except the scatters. The scatters are Monkey Mania symbols and when three or more land on the reels, they activate the Free Spins feature that can trigger even more free games. There are also stacked wilds, card gamble and risk ladder feature to add some more spice to the game.

Number of Paylines: 10, 20, 30	RTP: 96.17%
Min Bet: 0.10	Max Bet: 18
Max Payout: 1,000x	Software Provider: Gamomat
