Yggdrasil get set for busy autumn period
Online slot developers continue to churn out exciting new titles ahead of what is expected to be a busy autumn for the industry in the United States.
Busy jurisdictions such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania driving the demand as they strive to build on their impressive revenues from the first half of the year.
There have been some superb slots launched over the past few months and the last week has continued that trend. Here are some of our favorite new releases.
Golden Gorgon
Yggdrasil Gaming have kept things simple with Golden Gorgon, with the 5-reel, 3-row set-up likely to appeal massively to fans of classic slots.
The game challenges players to an Ancient Greek showdown to slay the gorgon, and bag themselves the maximum win of 2,500x their original bet.
Land at least three matching symbols on the payline to trigger the Golden Gaze feature, which generates sticky symbols and respins that can generate huge wins.
With a 96 percent return to player (RTP) rate, this Medusa-inspired slot should continue the Swedish developer’s track record of releasing successful slots.
Lone Rider XtraWays
Swintt’s new Lone Rider slot is the first that features the company’s innovative XtraWays feature – a unique proprietary game mechanic.
With wilds, scatter pays and extra spins bonuses, Lone Rider XtraWays offers players up to a staggering 262,144 different ways to win.
The new feature allows players to see how big the reels are going to be on the next spin, with the number determined by the amount of XtraWays symbols that land.
Lone Rider has a default RTP rate of 96.13%, although online casino operators can choose from two other settings to suit their specific requirements.
Odin: Protector of Realms
Play’n GO have followed up their recent launch of the Gemix 2 slot with the release of the impressive cluster-pays Odin: Protector of Realms game.
The slot features a cascading hexagonal grid that tempts challenges players to generate big clusters to boost their winning returns.
The RTP on Odin: Protector of Realms is 96.2%, while the most you can win from a single spin is 5,000x your total stake. There are seven different bonus features in total, making Odin: Protector of Realms one of the most immersive new slots in the business
3021 The Bounty Hunter Gigablox
Correctly sizing your bets is another important element of the game. Betting too much or too little can work against you.
Generally speaking, if you raise before the flop a continuation bet of around half of the pot will indicate to other players that your hand is strong.
Ultimately the aim is to make other players believe their hand is beat – if you don’t display confidence in your hand, your opponents may take advantage.
Know when to fold
The collaboration between Reflex Gaming and Yggdrasil Gaming has delivered another potential classic in the shape of 3021 The Bounty Hunter Gigablox.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic future populated by bounty hunters and evil cyborgs and is unquestionably one of the most visually pleasing slots around.
Yggdrasil’s Gigablox feature is where the action is at, allowing players to secure a payouts from as little as three of a kind.
The Bounty Hunter Wild Reel bonus adds to the excitement on a slot game where the action is fast and furious.
