Showcasing awesome graphics, animations and gameplay, these games are hot stuff. There are countless titles to try, inspired by themes as diverse as movies and music to Ancient History and Science Fiction. One of the net’s most popular slot game review sites, The Slot Buzz, has put together their top 3 releases for this year so far. Remember, if you do choose to play, gamble responsibly.
Hellcatraz By Relax Gaming
This slot from Relax Gaming will appeal to retro gamers as its designed in an old 8-bit retro style. The game is set in the imaginary location of Hellcatraz, which is clearly a recreation of the infamous San Fransiscan jail house built on an island in the bay. There are six reels and six rows of symbols and after any win, winnings symbols are removed and replaced with new ones. If another payline is filled, the process repeats. This way it is possible to land more than one win on every spin.
The gameplay uses Mystery Symbols which transform when they land on the reels to create wins, but the best bits are saved for the free spins round which is unlocked by collecting 2,000 special keys. Once you’re in there the Mystery Symbols are guaranteed to enhance wins on every spin, and the payout potential rises to an incredible 51,840x you stake.
Barbarian Fury by No Limit City
The game studio called No Limit City have been producing some really exciting slot games this year. One of our favourites is the brilliant Punk Rocker, set in London and featuring an array of banksy-style de-faced British icons. Barbarian Fury is set in a very distant past and features ferocious characters on the reels. The game also has some excellent features that any slots player will be familiar with, including wilds and re-spins.
One of the stand-out moments in the game though is the xNudge Wild, a trademark No Limit City game mechanic. Here, a stack of wilds lands and nudges down until it fills the entire visible reel. As it does, so it pushes a multiplier value up by 1x for every nudge. Once in place the wild stack can form winlines, with the total multiplier applied to the win value. There are also Fury Free Spins where you can notch up massive payouts of up to 8,000x.
John Hunter and the Book of Tut by Pragmatic Play
And now to our epic hero himself, the star of Pragmatic Play’s Book of … series of games, John Hunter. John is an icon based on the character of Indiana Jones, famous from the Spielberg movies from the 80s, like the Temple of Doom and Raiders of the Lost Arc. Our man has been on various adventures in his time and has now arrived in the Egyptian Desert for his next outing. Book of Tut is very similar to another famous video slot called Book of Ra by Novomatic.
The action is simple – you need to land three or more book symbols to open up a free spins round. One symbol will be chosen from the paytable and when it appears in the bonus round it will expand to fill an entire reel and create more chances to win. The book symbol also triggers extra spins when you land three more in the bonus round. Book of Tut has a top payout of 5,000x your stake.
This is a list of just three out of hundreds of video slots that have already been released in 2020. You can read more reviews at The Slot Buzz website, as well as look at recommendations of where to play. For now though, remember that these games are there to have fun, so always gamble responsibly.
