New Slots To Be Released on Week 27 of 2021

Summer 2021 is off to a great start with brand new slots for you to enjoy from the iGaming industry’s best developers. Loads of slot games have been released since the year began but the good thing about online slot games is that with them, more is merrier. You can choose from slots with a wide range of themes and all kinds of intriguing features to try your hands on for big payouts.

Week 27 of 2021 maintains the same massive energy that we saw with the array of slot games that were released last week. This week, the slot games that are coming out are sure to leave you satisfied, yet desiring more. We’ve compiled games from different developers and as you spin the reels, you’ll see exactly why they made it to this list of the best new slots on week 27 of 2021. Ready to explore with us? Let’s do this!

5 New Slots To Check Out

The developers of the 5 new slots that we strongly recommend that you check out this week are Play’n GO, Microgaming, Quickspin, Relax Gaming, and IGT. These developers are globally recognized as top guns because of the quality of online video slot games that they have in their portfolio. With the new games that they released this week, they live up to this standard yet again in terms of visuals, bonus features, and gameplay.

Coin Bash

Piggy banks with loads of instant money rewards are where all the fun is in the Coin Bash online slot by Snowborn Games. The Stockholm-based developer created the money-themed slot game for Microgaming and it is due for release on 13th July 2021. As is the standard with Microgaming games, Coin Bash offers you the chance to increase your wins massively with such features as wilds, scatters, progressive multipliers, and free spins.

There are 5 reels with 20 paylines in Coin Bash. It has an RTP of 96.12%, medium volatility, and a hit rate of 39.75%. You can play with a stake as low as 20c, all the way up to $50. To secure a win here, the requirement is that you land three or more matching symbols across a payline, which pays from left to right on adjacent reels, beginning with the leftmost reel. The maximum win is 5,000x the worth of your stake and the game’s features, which we’ll soon discuss, can help you get this.

Coin Bash’s bonus features are Lucky Star Bonus, Coin Spin, and Piggy Bank. Lucky Star is activated when three scatter symbols land on reels 2 to 4. A bonus wheel appears and spins to determine how many free spins you’ll get. It also selects a multiplier value between 2x and 5x your bet. Piggy Bank is triggered with three or more Piggy Bank symbols to give you an instant cash prize. 9 symbols will give you the max 5,000x win. Coin Spin adds more Piggy Bank symbols to the reels and that just means more cash wins for you. There are also Wild symbols in Coin Bash that replace other symbols except for the special symbols for the bonus features we mentioned earlier. They pay up to 125x your stake when you hit a 5-symbol streak in one spin.

One look at the Coin Bash reels and the flamingo pink color of its background will instantly remind you of traditional piggy banks. The audio is also well-done and will have you tapping your feet as you play to earn funds.

Gemix 2

Play’n Go is literally taking players of Gemix 2 to cloud 9 in the sequel of the magical slot game, Gemix. The first game was released about seven years ago and in this new follow-up, the location has been changed and a new character has been added. Tour the four enchanted worlds with the guardians as you spin the reels in search of juicy prizes. It was released on Thursday, 8th July 2021

Gemix 2 features 7 reels with 7 rows and uses the Cluster Pays mechanics. To form a winning combo, five or more matching symbols must land adjacent to one another, forming a cluster. The bigger the size of this cluster, the bigger your win. The medium-variance slot has a 96.26% RTP and a betting range between 10c and $100. The biggest win obtainable per spin is 5,500x your stake.

Gemix 2 is a slot with a mix of fantasy and medieval themes. Its reels house colorful gemstones and behind it is a beautiful castle suspended in a cloud. The most valuable gemstone is the star and it will reward you with 200x your bet if 15 of it appear in a cluster after a spin. There are also guardian symbols, which are the game’s wilds.

There are seven mouth-watering bonus features in Gemix 2, all designed to point you in the direction of wins, wins, and more wins. Like other slot games featuring Cluster Pays, Gemix 2 has a Cascade feature. After a winning cluster is formed and your payout awarded to you, the symbols that make up the cluster will be removed and new gems will continue to drop in their place until no more winning combos are formed. The Crystal Charge feature has four arms to it – Nova Blast, Crystal Warp, Light Beam, and Chain Lightning. Other features are World Bonus and World Wilds, where the guardians we mentioned earlier appear to increase your wins. The guardians are the Knight, Miner, Princess, and Wizard.

Wild Luchador

13th July 2021 will see the release of Wild Luchador, a Mexican-themed slot game brought to you by Quickspin. There is no better word to describe what this game offers you than ‘wild’ as is seen in its name. A ‘luchador’ is a wrestler in Lucha Libre wrestling and as a participant of the competition in this game, all you’ll be wrestling for are the massive payouts that it comes with.

Wild Luchador is a 5-reel video slot with 3 rows and 243 ways to win. As is the standard with slot games set up like this, you get a win when you land three or more identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, beginning with the first reel from the left. This game’s RTP is 96% and it is highly volatile, the maximum win being 40,557x your total bet in a spin. To begin your journey to copping this prize, you can place a bet between 30c and $120 for each spin.

Two bonus features have been added by Quickspin to Wild Luchador – Luchador Wilds and Dead Slam. Luchador Wilds begins with a cannon blast. Each reel has a dedicated Luchador and when its wrestler symbol lands, it expands and fills the reels, making it a wild. Multiple stacked wilds may also land on the reels in this feature. Dead Slam is the free spins mode here and it comes with progressive multipliers, depending on how many scatters you land to trigger the feature.

Number of Paylines: 243	RTP: 96.00%

It was designed and released by Relax Gaming on 6th July 2021, featuring high-quality visuals that perfectly depict Sin City and bonus features to help you grab a hold of its cash offers.

5 reels and 5 rows make up the playing field in Chip Spin. With an RTP of 96.4%, it gives you 259 ways to win. A winning combo in the game is obtained when three, four, or five matching symbols or wilds land on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost one.

A Guide to Legal Gambling in Colorado

February 21, 2024 William Mcmaster

It’s no secret that the nature of gambling regulations in the US varies from state to state, with some states legalizing all forms of gambling, others legalizing some types, and some states not allowing any form of gambling at all. The state of Colorado falls into the second of the three gambling legalization categories listed above.

Staying updated on which states allow some or all types of gambling and which states don’t could be a lot to keep up with, but it also could be the difference between gambling at a safe online casino and gambling at one that’s illegal and unlicensed.

The first step to figuring out Colorado’s gambling laws is knowing what the state defines gambling as. Going by the constitution of the Rocky Mountain State, “risking money or any other thing of value for gain contingent in whole or part upon lot, chance, or the happening or outcome of an event over which the person taking a risk has no control.” (FindLaw, 2016)

According to Colorado Law, gambling at the Colorado Lottery is one form of gambling that is legal, alongside limited gaming in Colorado casinos in Central City, Cripple Creek, Black Hawk, and on Indian reservation land. The constitution always allows gambling on live and off-track horse racing events under the Colorado Division of Gaming, bingos, and raffles licensed and regulated under the Secretary of State’s office, sports betting, as well as what the law deems as “social” gambling. (Specialized Business Group, Colorado Department of Revenue, 2021)

Internet Gaming in Colorado

In 2005, the office of the Attorney General released an official statement which claimed that online gambling fell under all the already existing gambling laws in the state. That means, technically, online gambling is not allowed in Colorado. Residents of the state can still access gambling sites based offshore, though. Placing wagers on those sites and sportsbooks is considered illegal, even if they are legal and licensed in the places where they are set up.

A policy set up by the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission restricts businesses and people licensed in Colorado’s casino industry from being involved in any way with any offshore internet gaming site that can be accessed by residents of the state.

While online gambling is classified as illegal in Colorado, no one has ever been arrested for casual gambling at any online gambling sites. This is mostly because much of the law in the state focuses on illegal gambling businesses and professional gambling, as opposed to casual gaming customers.

The state recommends that players stay away from gambling not only because it is illegal, but because there are no state regulatory controls that can guarantee that games are conducted fairly and that children are prevented from accessing gambling sites. Participants who get locked in disputes and complaints over payments with online casinos or telephone sportsbooks can take no benefits or resolutions from state agencies.

Sports Betting in Colorado

May 2020 saw Colorado become one of the US states that offered legal sports betting after voters approved legislative referral Proposition DD (House Bill 1327). Colorado Proposition DD, the Legalize Sports Betting with Tax Revenue for Water Projects Measure, was passed in 2019 after recording a narrow 51 percent – 48 percent win at state ballots.

The bill authorized sports betting while also levying a 10 percent tax on proceeds made by sports betting operators in the state. Proposition DD’s success at the ballots meant that casino properties in the state could apply for online and retail sports betting licenses from the Colorado Gaming Control Commission.

Despite a slow start caused by the global pandemic, the sports betting market in Colorado grew steadily after its launch, recording a total of $2.3 billion in wagers after one year. That figure was released by the Colorado Division of Gaming, and it put the state behind only New Jersey and Illinois for total sports wagers after the first 12 months of operations. The absence of in-person registration restrictions and in-state college sports betting in the Centennial State has made it one of the most attractive legal sports betting states in the country.

How to Take Part in Colorado Gambling

Your gambling options in Colorado include anyone of the following:

Limited casino gaming at casino properties in gaming towns. (Black Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek.)
State Lottery.
Live and off-track horse racing.
Licensed bingo and raffle games.

Residents of the state can also take part in poker tournaments as long as those activities fall under the social gambling umbrella. Regulated sports betting in Colorado launched in May 2020.

Netent’s Celebrates Launch of New Starburst XXXtreme

February 21, 2024 William Mcmaster

There aren’t many online slot games that deserve the ‘legendary’ tag but if there is one that does, it is definitely Starburst. The iconic slot game was released in 2013 by NetEnt and has since risen to become a must-play for slot game lovers. However, over the years, fierce competition has come up with newer slots with new game mechanics, themes, and bonuses. This month, NetEnt released a sequel to the game titled ‘Starburst XXXtreme’ to reinforce its position as a truly legendary slot game brand.

According to NetEnt, Starburst XXXtreme “blends the original recipe from the classic game with a monumental boost of rocket fuel, including monumental win potential.” Players have looked forward to the game’s release since it was first announced and have now begun to pour into online casinos to have a taste of the all-new space experience (NetEnt, 2021).

How to Play Starburst XXXtreme

Starburst XXXtreme is played on a 5×3 reel grid with 9 paylines, which is one less than what was available in the original. These paylines also pay in one direction only. The bet levels are between 20c and $100 per spin. Winning a payout requires that the player lands three to five matching symbols from left to right on a payline, beginning with the leftmost one.

It is a highly volatile slot with a hit frequency rate of 20% and massive rewards, the top prize being a jaw-dropping 200,000x the worth of the stake per spin.

The Starburst XXXtreme paytable is the same as what is available in the original slot with the same seven symbols. The Bar remains the highest-paying symbol, followed by the 7s, and then, the sparkling gems which are the least-paying symbols.

Features of Starburst XXXtreme

For people who have wondered what the ’XXX’ in the game’s title stands for, the answer lies in its features. As if to compensate for the removal of a payline and the one-directional payment of the rest, NetEnt’s Starburst XXXtreme offers more multipliers than the original game.

The Starburst Wilds appear on the three middle reels and substitute for all other symbols. They also expand and award a respin and random multiplier. The Random Wilds feature is randomly triggered after a spin or re-spin. Up to three Wild Symbols land on the three middle reels to award a random multiplier, the highest being 150x (SoftGamings, 2021).

The juiciest Starburst XXXtreme feature is XXXtreme Spins, but it comes with a special twist. This feature lets players buy spins that will land guaranteed Starburst Wilds on the reels. With 10x the cost of a stake per spin, one Starburst Wild is guaranteed to land and with 95x the stake, two are sure to land on the reels.

Where to Play Starburst XXXtreme

Starburst XXXtreme is now available at top online casinos in the online gambling space. You can play the game today at any of our recommended casinos for an immersive experience and huge payout opportunities.

Flutter, Fox and FanDuel Deal Close to Conclusion

February 21, 2024 William Mcmaster

US News and sports broadcasting powerhouse Fox News could yet become sports betting stakeholder soon as it sets to acquire some interest in Flutter Entertainment-owned sports betting giant, FanDuel. An initial stake in the sportsbook brand, distinguished as a frontrunner in the US sports betting market for a while now, was purchased by Flutter in 2018, with the company to own 95% of the bookie as of last December.

Existing Fox and Flutter Relationship

Fox Sports Media Group, Fox Corporation’s primary subsidiary, owns the Fox Sports 1 & 2 and Fox Sports Radio channels, as well as FOX Bet. The latter was created in partnership with Canadian gaming company The Stars Group as a sports betting platform in which Fox holds a 5% share. The joint venture between both companies also gave Fox the right to purchase 50% of the Canadian online gambling company’s US business over the next ten years.

In 2020, Flutter Entertainment merged with TSG in a $6 billion deal that added FOX Bet to the former’s portfolio, which already included Betfair, PokerStars, Paddy Power, and FanDuel. Quite notably, the merger also granted Fox a 2.6% stake in Flutter, as well as an option to purchase an 18% share in FanDuel (The Motley Fool, 2021).

As of December last year, things seemed very rosy between both companies as Fox backed Flutter’s move to acquire a majority stake in FanDuel. Speaking on Flutter’s FanDuel move, CEO of Fox Corporation Lachlan Murdoch said: “Fox’s investment in Flutter underscores our confidence in Flutter’s business and its management’s ability to continue to drive leadership in the US market” (The Irish Times, 2021).

Differing Valuations

Flutter’s acquisition of TSG presented Fox with an option to acquire an 18.5% stake in FanDuel after its equity stake was transferred to Flutter. That option was set to be activated this month, but both companies have run into a valuation argument that has seen Fox’s owners launch legal action against Flutter. Fox argues that its option to acquire stakes in FanDuel this month should be valid along the valuation lines Flutter exercised in December of last year; Flutter disagrees. Flutter CEO Peter Jackson stated that Fox must pay a fair market rate in July 2021 by two investment banks. (Nasdaq, 2021)

Jackson, speaking during Flutter’s first-quarter earnings conference call where the company broke down the contribution made by each asset in its portfolio, explained that FanDuel accounts for 91.6% of the company’s revenue, with FOX Bet and PokerStars amounting to just 8.4%.

There is a feeling that both companies could yet settle the dispute amicably, with the potential for both sides to make major upsides from expanded cooperation serving as a motivator if Flutter Entertainment goes ahead with its IPO consideration for FanDuel.

Our selection of the best new slots for this week is from Relax Gaming, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Pragmatic Play, and Red Tiger Gaming. We analyzed these slots based on their volatility, return to player, bonus offers, graphics, bet range, and some other special features that online casino players look out for. Now let’s run through these new slots and find out which one’s just ideal for you.

Spirit of the Beast – Relax Gaming

This animal-themed slot from multi-national software provider Relax Gaming will leave you impressed with its remarkable visuals – the beautiful blue skies and tranquil scenery of the Native American encampment that adorns its backdrop is an instant hit. The slot serves up the best that North American wildlife has to offer, with bears, buffalo, eagles, and horses parading across the reels. It also comes with an eerie soundtrack which helps complete the Native American spirit feel.

Released on June 22, Spirit of the Beast comes with a standard 5-reel, 3-row layout, and 15 paylines, along with an above-average return to player of 96.52%. The slot is of high variance, meaning that you have to wait for the free spins to come around to make bigger wins. A bet range of 0.1 – 80 ensures that this game caters to budget gamers and medium-high rollers.

The reels are fixed into a carved wooden frame and they feature regular playing card suit symbols. Higher paying symbols include the buffalo, bear, eagle, horse, and wolf. The gold totem Wild can land anywhere across the five reels and when it does, it replaces every regular symbol.

Summon the Spirit of the Beast when the Spirit Summoner bonus round is triggered on any random spin. During this feature, one high-value symbol is chosen and stacked across the reels as all other symbols are removed, allowing you some rewarding action on a high-paying symbol.

The Mighty Multiplier bonus round is triggered when you land the bonus symbols on the three middle reels. During this round, 6 separate spherical meters appear on top of the reels, each divided into five parts. The six meters represent each Native American wild animal and the gold totem Wild. You are awarded 12 free spins, and each time you land a complete stack of a wild animal, one part of the meter representing that symbol fills up. If you manage to fill up all five parts of the meter, you get the multiplier for that symbol, up to a whopping maximum payout of 10,000x. The multipliers are:

Wolf Multiplier: 20X
Horse Multiplier: 50X
Eagle Multiplier: 100X
Bear Multiplier: 300X
Bull Multiplier: 1000X
Wild Multiplier: 10,000X

Number of Paylines: 15	RTP: 96.52%
Min Bet: 0.1	Max Bet: 80
Max Payout 10,000X	Software Provider: Relax Gaming

Immortal Romance: Mega Moolah

You’d be right if you considered Microgaming’s Immortal Romance: Mega Moolah the progressive jackpot version of the original slot. The slot is indeed a spinoff of the hugely popular vampire-themed Immortal Romance slot. Both pack pretty much the same format and features, except for one crucial difference – the latter release comes with the promise of a gigantic payout in the form of the Mega Moolah jackpot.

Like the original slot, the action on this slot takes place across a 5-reel, 3-row layout, with 243 active paylines. Immortal Romance Mega Moolah comes with an RTP of 93.4%.

Low paying symbols include the standard card royal symbols, from A to 9. Symbols on the opposite end of the value spectrum are candles, a haunted house, and the characters: Amber, Troy, Micheal, and Sarah. At 16.66x your stake for five on a payline, Sarah is the slot’s highest paying symbol. The Immortal Romance logo is the Wild symbol.

When the Wild Desire feature is triggered, the reels become filled with wilds, offering a potential payout of 12,150x your stake. The Mega Moolah jackpot is a part of the famous Microgaming progressive jackpot network and it triggers randomly on any spin. Players are allowed to spin a wheel that could land any of the Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpot, with each offering different starting amounts:

Mini: $10
Minor: $100
Major: $10,000
Mega: $1 million.

Number of Paylines: 243	RTP: 93.4%
Min Bet: 0.3	Max Bet: 6
Max Payout 12,150X	Software Provider: Microgaming

Suncatcher Gigablox

Built around a 5×3 layout, Yggdrasil’s Suncatcher Gigablox is set to be the newest installment in the Gigablox slot series. The slot comes with 10 active paylines and a Return to player of 96%. What sets Suncatcher apart from previous releases in the Gigablox series is its low-to-medium volatility, which makes it better-suited for players who are searching for a laid-back, low-risk experience. With a maximum win of $715,000, however, the slot remains very rewarding.

Yggdrasil’s unique Gigablox mechanics is on show here. Every time you spin, the reels become synced and large blocks of symbols are formed. Sometimes the blocks are 2X2, but bigger blocks appear now and then to reward players with larger wins. Wins on this slot can be formed either from left to right or right to left.

One thing to watch out for is the Suncatcher special diamond wild symbol which can appear on any of the five reels. When it appears, the diamond expands and then sticks to the reel it landed on, granting you a free re-spin in the process. If you land another wild on the re-spin, it also expands and sticks to the reels, and you are awarded another re-spin. This goes on until all the reels are filled.

Number of Paylines: 10	RTP: 96%
Min Bet: 0.1	Max Bet: 500
Max Payout 1,430X	Software Provider: Yggdrasil

Book of Vikings

Pragmatic Play’s Norse mythology-inspired Book of Vikings slot is set in a Fjord-esque environment lined with towering mountains and the famous Viking longships. With its high volatility and variable RTP, the slot maintains some similarities to others in the ‘Book of’ series. It also offers a standard layout of five reels and three rows along with 10 paylines.

This slot comes with the potential to reward players with 5,500X their stake on every spin, with most of the bigger wins coming during the scatter-triggered free spins bonus round.

Card royal symbols are the less lucrative symbols on the reel, while the Hunting horn, Helmet, Female warrior, and Viking symbols form the game’s high-paying icons. Wins are formed by combining at least 3 low-value matching symbols or at least 2 high-value matching symbols across a payline, starting from the first reel. The Book of Magic symbol acts as the Wild and Scatter, replacing every other symbol and triggering the free spins round when 3, 4, or 5 of them appear on the reel.

Before you begin your free spins, a flipping book appears and one symbol is selected as the special expanding symbol. After each win during the free spin, the expanding symbol covers all three reel positions and rewards you with an all-ways payout. Landing 3 or more scatters during the free spins will give you an additional 10 free spins, all operating with the already-selected special symbol. This could go on, and on, and on, until you exhaust your free spins without landing any new scatters.

Number of Paylines: 10	RTP: 96.5%
Min Bet: 0.1	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 5,500X	Software Provider: Pragmatic Play

Joe Exotic

Red Tiger Gaming has given us a slot based on one of the most popular figures of 2020, and it is precisely everything you would expect it to be. The official slot – based on the star of the Netflix documentary ‘Tiger King’ – is teeming with gold, guns, exotic animals, and loads of bonus features.

The action occurs across a 5-reel, 4-row layout with 20 fixed paylines. Joe Exotic comes with a default return to player of 95.7%, and its bet range of 0.1-20 makes it an ideal pick for budget gamers.

Regular symbols are hip flasks, baseball caps, rings, and animal skin belts. Their high-paying counterparts include the characters James Garretson, Allen Glover, Jeff Lowe, and Joe Exotic.

The Dynamite feature is triggered randomly on any spin. When it happens, the reels explode, and the low-paying symbols are blown up. A new cascade then falls in place with high-value symbols, giving you a bigger payout per winning combination made.

The Tiger Bounty bonus is triggered when you land the tiger bounty symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5. When that happens, Joe presents you with offers of 5, 15, 25, or 50x your total stake and Allen chooses between collecting your prize or picking again. Whichever prize Allen finally collects is the one you win.

When you land the Exotic Spins scatter simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5, the Exotic spins bonus is activated and you get 9 free spins. During this round, a Joe Exotic Super Multiplier stacked Wild fills up the middle reel. The multiplier begins at 1x and makes a unitary increase in value every time you land a winning combination, up to a maximum of 15x.

Number of Paylines: 20	RTP: 95.7%
Min Bet: 0.1	Max Bet: 20
Max Payout: 4,117X	Software Provider: Red Tiger Gaming

Conclusion

This week’s new slot games blast a variety of exciting themes and rewarding features. They’re all fully compatible with mobile and desktop devices and you can try them out now at any of our recommended casinos.

Incredible Technologies is an Illinois-based company known for its array of innovative electronic gaming machines, including popular ones such as Crazy Money and Money Rain. Its games line the floors of retail casino gaming outlets in the United States and are accessible online in New Jersey. With this deal, the company will be able to grow its online portfolio while working long-term with a partner that has a well-established online distribution chain in the country. This was made known in a statement by Daymon Ruttenburg, the Senior Vice President of Gaming of Incredible Technologies.

“Our partnership with a proven and premier partner like GAN advances the online U.S. distribution of our leading portfolio of gaming content. Since our company’s founding, we have been committed to creating innovative and exciting ways to engage players with new technologies and capabilities. We know that GAN shares this commitment, and we look forward to bringing new online experiences to our players through GAN’s extensive online distribution network. Together, we will be drivers of the U.S. iGaming market as it continues to grow.”

Implications of the Deal for Gan Limited

Gan Limited will now begin to obtain online content licensing fees from existing online operations of Incredible Technologies in the Garden State. What this means is that access to Incredible Technologies’ existing gaming library and future additions to it will be only through GAN’s Platform and Super RGS. The company has announced that because of this long-term deal, its exclusive content from combined online slot partners makes up about 7% of all slots sold in the United States last year.

Jeff Berman, Gan Limited’s Chief Commercial Officer said:

“We welcome this partnership with Incredible Technologies as another validation of our market-leading presence in the regulated intra-State markets of America. Today’s announcement is another exciting step toward building upon our strategy of establishing exclusive online access rights to the most popular retail U.S. slot games. Few content providers in the U.S. market have established a reputation for innovation and creativity as well as the operational excellence of Incredible Technologies. The popularity of IT’s slot games, including the player-favorite Ultra Rush themes, will be a critical addition to our portfolio as we commit ourselves to becoming a leading provider of exclusive online content.”
