The best new slots on our list this week will give your visual and auditory sense a treat, making gameplay immersive. One boasts of a Megaways engine while the other proudly brings the Megaclusters mechanism.

Each one carries a bunch of features that enhance gameplay. Avalanche mechanism, win multiplier, multiplier wilds, and expanding reels are just three of the most interesting features up for grabs.

Which among these outstanding new slots you’ll want most to play this week? We’ll help you decide by giving you a rundown of what’s in store for you in each one of them.

5 New Slots To Check Out

Behind the best new slots this week are developers Microgaming and All41 Studios, ELK Studios, Big Time Gaming, Yggdrasil, and iSoftBet. Let’s take a closer look at this week’s top 5 new slots.

Alchemy Fortunes

Visit the magical world of alchemy as Microgaming presents Alchemy Fortune from its partner All41 Studios. The 7×7 grid stands at the center of a stone chamber guarded on each side by two candles atop a stack of books. The gems and piles of coins around it and the captivating soundtrack complete the mystical feel.

In Alchemy Fortunes, 5 or more matching adjacent symbols are called Hypercluster. When Hypercluster forms, the Rolling Reels kick in, removing all winning clusters from the reels and dropping new symbols. The process continues until no new winning clusters form.

A meter attached at the side of the grid counts the number of winning symbols per sequence, unlocking levels 1-5.

20 symbols award the Potion Swap where all high-paying symbols on the reels turn into similar matching symbols.
40 symbols award the Summon Wilds where an additional 3 to 6 wilds appear on the reels in random positions.
60 symbols award the Gem Crush where all low-paying symbols get removed from the reels.
80 symbols award the Alchemy of Wilds where new wilds get added to all recorded previous wild positions.
100 symbols award 5 free spins.

During free spins, the Potion Swap and Summon Wilds come into play. The collection meters are also in play which can trigger another round of free spins. It may take a while to trigger the free spins, but there are other rewards you can enjoy along the way.

Number of Paylines: Cluster Pays	RTP: 96.41%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 1,100x/Spin	Software Provider: All41 Studios

Katmandu Gold

The fifth in ELK’s Gold series, Katmandu Gold follows the hero, Kane as he reaches the Himalayan Mountains’ foot.

Two pillars with Buddhist-inspired design keep the 6 reels upright on both sides. Adding to the entertainment factor is the game area zooming in and out as rows increase or decrease. At least three matching symbols from left to right scores a win.

What makes Katmandu Gold one of the outstanding new slots you should play this week is its multitude of features. These features are:

Avalanches. Gets rid of winning symbols to make way for new ones. An additional row also gets added, and up to 8 rows are possible.

Big Symbols. Symbols of 2×2, 2×3, or 4×4 in size landing on every spin.

Ice Climbers. Two Yin and Yang-looking Ice Climber symbols turn into wilds all symbols above them and any empty positions under. This feature triggering on the 8th row adds one more row expanding the win ways to 531,441.

Expanding Wins. Winning symbols containing a gold arrow pointing upwards, downwards or both ways expand in the arrow’s direction. All symbols in their path then get replaced.

Multiplier Free Drops. Bonus symbols of 3, 4, 5, or 6 in view award 10, 15, 20, or 25 drops. These come with a win multiplier starting at x1 that gets an additional +1 every time an X-marked bonus symbol lands.

Bonus Buy. Buy your way to the bonus round with 3 to 6 bonus symbols for 100x the bet. You can also opt for Super Buy with 3 to 6 bonus symbols and a win multiplier starting at x10 for 500x the bet.

Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 10,000x	Software Provider: ELK Studios

Cyberslot Megaclusters

Big Time Gaming uses its Megaclusters mechanism for the second time in its new slot offering this week. The futuristic game area of Cyberslot Megacluster floats in front of a purplish pattern dropping neon-colored horizontal lines.

The paytable is made up of 7 symbols, and there are 3 wild symbols to help score a win. The regular wild can appear on any spin, but the other two only appear during features.

Working with the Megaclusters mechanism is the Reactions win system. On the base game, each winning symbol splits into 9 smaller symbols. The smaller symbols that become part of a winning cluster will be removed from the grid to make way for new ones. Watch out for the Golden Roaming Wild symbol as it carries a multiplier that starts at x1 and increases by +1 when it substitutes in a win.

At least 12 reactions in the base game award 6 free spins on a 9×9 grid, triggering the free spin feature. The Roaming Wild Multiplier’s current value carries over at the start of the free spin. When the multiplier reaches x10, you’ll get an additional 2 free spins retriggering the free spin feature. The Golden Roaming Wild joins the Rainbow Roaming Wild this time intensifying the winning potential. The multiplier of both wilds multiply wins together and as their multipliers grow so are your chances of hitting big wins.

Number of Paylines: 16 to 256 Megaclusters	RTP: 96.36%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 20
Max Payout: 23,960x	Software Provider: Big Time Gaming

Pirates 2: Mutiny

Yggdrasil’s follow-up to Pirates: Smugglers Paradise takes a spot in our selection of outstanding new slots to play this week. Pirates 2: Mutiny might have undergone a major makeover, but it still has the good points of its predecessor.

Two wrecked capsized ships frame the 5×5 game area with gloomy-looking clouds over an island not far behind. Just like the first version, this slot uses cluster pays instead of paylines. To win, you need at least 6 adjacent matching symbols.

Wins also trigger the Dropdown feature, which drops winning combinations at the reel’s bottom. This will also remove non-winning symbols to make way for a fresh batch. You can win not only the total amount of winning combinations but also win multipliers of up to 25x the bet.

The Free Spin feature can activate during the dropdown sequence if 3 scatters land in view. During this feature, all wins get a multiplier starting at x1 onwards.

This slot also comes with the following modifiers:

Mutiny. This awards a sure win when a huge 3×3 symbol lands at random revealing 9 similar symbols at once.
Tsunami. At least 6 potential winning symbols in view trigger a tsunami wave, sweeping all symbols save for the winning ones.
Cannon Blast. On a losing spin, a cannon blast can appear, blowing all low-paying symbols to trigger a new dropdown sequence.

Number of Paylines: Cluster Pays	RTP: 96.2%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 4,400x	Software Provider: Yggdrasil Gaming

Queen of Wonderland Megaways

Drawing inspiration from the bizarre world created by Lewis Carroll, iSoftBet released an addition to its Twisted Tales slot series. Queen of Wonderland Megaways brings you to a colorful, lively world of Wonderland.

A majestic soundtrack welcomes you to the Queen of Wonderland’s kingdom where the 6 reels sit in front of her garden. You can see her palace standing not far behind as you spin for up to 117,649 win ways. To score a win, you need at least three matching adjacent symbols from the leftmost reel onwards. This also triggers the Megaways cascade feature giving you multiple chances of scoring wins from a single spin.

This slot might be the last in our list of outstanding new slots to play this week, but it’s definitely not the least. It’s also rich in features, making it on equal footing with its competition.

During a paid spin, the Max Megaways modifier can force the reels to display the win ways to its maximum capacity. On the other hand, a Cheshire Cat representing the mystery symbol can land at random on any spin. Mystery symbols turn themselves into similar matching symbols that can result in a winning combination.

You can collect more wins during the Queen of Wonderland Respins. You can also buy a chance to spin a wheel at the Queen of Wonderland Bet. For 100x the bet, you can either win free spins or respins.

Number of Paylines: 117,649	RTP: 96.11%
Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 20
Max Payout: N/A	Software Provider: iSoftBet

Remarkable New Slots To Enjoy This Week

Given the number of slots released every day, finding the most remarkable new slots that you’ll enjoy each week can be difficult. That’s why our team here at CompareCasino presents to you the best new slots every week. Like in the previous weeks, this week’s selection won’t disappoint.

The hit Divine Fortune slot comes back with the same features players love but now sporting a Megaways engine with 117,649 win ways. Christmas Carol Megaways also boasts of a Megaways engine but with an enormous 200,704 win ways and max wins of 20,000x your bet.

Following not only the Christmas theme but also the 20,000x maximum payout is A Tale of Elves boasting a Random Cash Prize feature. Santas helpers also graced Carol of the Elves guarding a rather unusual reel that rewards win multipliers and extra lives.

We find each one of these remarkable new slots interesting and something we think you’ll enjoy playing this week. So, we give you a rundown of each to help you decide which ones you like best.

4 New Slots To Check Out

Our selection of the best new slots this week comes from developers NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Red Tiger, and Yggdrasil. Let’s find out which of these remarkable new slots will you enjoy most playing this week.

Divine Fortune Megaways™

Tagging with NetEnt’s acquisition of Red Tiger is Big Time Gaming’s Megaways license. This month, the software giant put that license to use and give two of its hit slots a makeover. Following Twin Spin, Divine Fortune now also returns sporting the Megaways engine.

This Mythology-themed slot says hello with the same elegant design and the Pegasus as its main star. Instead of the previous 5×3 reels, it has the Megaways slot’s 6-reel engine with 117,649 ways to win.

The 10 to A low-paying royals and 4 premium symbols can land on 2 to 7 rows. Three matching symbols score a win except for Medusa which only requires two. Landing on any reels to replace any symbol is the Pegasus wild, while a hand gripping a thunderbolt represents the scatter.

After all wild wins are paid, the Falling Wild Respin activates. The Falling Wild goes one position down with every spin, awarding respin until it exits the reel. An ordinary wild landing on a Falling Wild triggers the Wild on Wild feature and Pegasus stacks up covering the reel. This stacked wild also drops one position with every spin.

If 4, 5, or 6 scatters land, you’ll receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. You’ll get an additional 5 spins for every extra scatter. During the round, any wild that lands trigger the Wild on Wild feature. Watch out for bronze, silver, and gold coins because they are Bonus Win symbols. Collecting five similar bronze, silver, or gold coins pays 10, 25, or 500 times your stake, respectively. You can also win as many bonuses as possible during the round increasing your chances of bagging big payouts.

Number of Paylines: 117,649 win ways	RTP: 96.09%
Min Bet: 0.10	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: N/A	Software Provider: NetEnt

Christmas Carol Megaways™

Pragmatic Play sprinkles some spooky feel to the cheerful air of Christmas in its newest slot release this week. Christmas Carol Megaways lets you relive the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the protagonist in Charles Dickens’ tale where this slot was named after.

The gigantic grid with 6 reels and 7 rows plus a horizontal 1×4 reel on top almost fills up the entire space. Because of the extra reel, a whopping 200,704 ways to win become possible. Gracing the game area are the 10 to A royals and some characters from the famous Christmas tale. Not forgetting the main man, Scrooge is this slot’s wild, and his pocket watch serves as the scatter.

Four scatters activate the Free Spin Feature where you have to choose between four options before starting.

15 free spins with a starting multiplier of x1.
10 free spins with a starting multiplier of x5.
5 free spins with a starting multiplier of x10.
Random 5 to 15 free spins with a starting multiplier of x1 to x10.

The scatters continue to be in play during the round and award more free spins. There is also a progressive win multiplier in the free spin round which increases the multiplier by +1 after each winning cascade.

Aside from the Free Spin Feature, we also love the Ante Bets function that increases the stake to 25%. Though the symbol values do not increase, you’ll receive additional scatters increasing your chance to trigger the free spin round. With an increasing multiplier in the bonus game, you’ll have bigger chances of winning the max payout of 20,000 times your bet.

Min Bet: 0.20	Max Bet: 100
Max Payout: 20,000x	Software Provider: Pragmatic Play

A Tale of Elves

Deserving of a spot in our selection of remarkable new slots that we sure you’ll enjoy this week is A Tale of Elves. In this latest release of software giant Microgaming, Santa and his adorable helpers will give you a chance for a merrier Christmas.

First things first, let the elves accompany you in a snow-filled forest as you play on this slot’s base game. Christmas lights adorned the wooden 5×3 game area with 243 paylines. Together with 4 premium elves in differently-colored suits, the low-paying J to A royals make up the paytable. Joining the Christmas-themed symbol is the wreath wild, which can land on any reels to form winning combinations.

Two Santa scatters trigger the Random Cash Prize feature where you can win cash up to 50x your bet. When 3, 4, or 5 Santa scatters land, you’ll win 1x, 20x, or 200x your stake, respectively. Aside from that, the jolly old man will take you to the elves’ workshop for the free spin round. You’ll need to choose from 4 options to play the bonus round.

Six-symbol high blue elf with 18 free spins and x2 win multiplier.
Five-symbol high green elf with 14 free spins and x3 win multiplier.
Four-symbol high orange elf with 10 free spins and x4 win multiplier.
Three-symbol high yellow elf with 8 free spins and x5 win multiplier.

During free spins, the Random Cash Prize feature remains in play. The best part is that the free spin feature can be retriggered. So, you’ll have more chances to take home big wins besides the cash that the Random Cash Prize feature brings.

Number of Paylines: 243	RTP: 95.07%
Min Bet: 0.30	Max Bet: 12
Max Payout: 20,000x	Software Provider: Microgaming

Carol of the Elves

This week, Yggdrasil Gaming serves a Christmas-themed slot with a good old nostalgic feel. The look of Carol of the Elves plus its sweet soundtrack fits perfectly. Its 5×5 antique-looking game area sits in a living room surrounded by Christmas decorations and lots of gifts. Grandpa elf and his granddaughter sit high guarding the reels on both sides.

This slot has a unique configuration because the reels start at a 1-3-5-3-1 pattern, and blocked tiles cover the rest. There are 45 ways to win initially that go up to 3,125 when the 5×5 grid is in full view. The 9 to A royals comprise the low side of the paytable, and Christmas-related symbols make up the premiums. To win, you need 3 adjacent matching symbols starting from the first reel.

Your only goal is to form matching symbols consecutively to open up the reels. Every time you score a win, each winning symbol spits out a snowflake that flies to a blocked tile, destroying it. The board opens up a bit, and you’ll have one respin. If the respin results in a win, the process continues.

If the entire reel opens up, you’ll get a starting win multiplier of x2 and an extra life which is a respin. Winning symbols on full reels spit blue and red snowflakes.

Five blue snowflakes award a +1 multiplier.
Five red snowflakes award an extra life.

The sequence will continue until no new winning respin occurs and all extra lives are spent. The grid will then come back to the 1-3-5-3-1 pattern. We don’t know about you, but we find this setup rather entertaining and remarkable indeed.

Number of Paylines: 3,125	RTP: 96.2%
Min Bet: 0.10	Max Bet: 150
Max Payout: 5,800x	Software Provider: Yggdrasil Gaming

Conclusion

All of the above remarkable new slots are excellent, and we hope you find one or two that you’ll get to enjoy this week. Software developers work hard to come up with top-caliber slots, and they still have a lot to offer this last quarter of the year. So, watch out for our best new slot reviews where we feature only the best among the week’s new slot releases.
