Get ready for a special edition of our newsletter as we give three smaller but innovative game studios a place in the spotlight.
While the mainstream providers seem to release a new slot virtually every week, these smaller developers have maybe one in a month or even less. But that doesn’t make the output any less impressive. With the boutique providers, you can unearth some true gems with great graphics and interesting features.
Let’s start off with Elk Studios, who present us with their new Chi slot this week. What sounds like a spiritual word is actually a highly volatile game with a win potential of up to 12,500x your bet.
A hilarious gambling experience awaits on the Mount Mazuma slot from Habanero with up to 100,000 ways to win. And last but not least, Thunderkick announce the release of Dragon Horn, a more volatile sequel to Roasty McFry and the Flame Busters.
Chi | Elk Studios
According to legend, a lost city of treasures can be found hidden within the Himalayan mountains. To reach it on the Chi slot, you must overcome treacherous routes. And two friendly spirits are coming along for the ride too.
Chi is a unique vertical slot that will entertain you with random features, a free spins round and the Stairway to Fortune bonus leading to a jackpot prize.
You can play the Chi slot from 0.20 a spin. Take advantage of 27 fixed paylines and a pay-both-ways mechanic. The fire and wind spirits of Chi and Mow are eager to use their impressive powers to unleash two random features.
Those bonuses are triggered when the totems on the side of the game screen line up after a spin. Chi grants you up to six random wilds, while Mow can multiply your winnings by up to 5x.
If you hit three or more scatters you can win 10, 15 or 20 free spins, during which the spirit features become more powerful. Chi’s random wilds turn sticky while Mow’s multiplier keeps growing every time he appears.
Three Yin Yang symbols will activate the Stairway to Heaven bonus game. Chi will randomly draw numbers from 1 to 6 and Mow will progress on the bet multiplier ladder towards the Fortune Reels. Reach the Fortune Reels and you earn five spins with multipliers and a chance to hit the jackpot worth 10,000x your stake.
See if fortune is on your side and try this intriguing new game today.
Mount Mazuma | Habanero
If you like the sound of Super Ways and the potential of 100,000 win lines, Habanero’s Mount Mazuma might be for you.
This sleeping volcanic giant can erupt to create Super Ways and increase the potential ways to win from 243 to that six-figure sum. The volcano might also add random wilds to the reels during the base game.
And if you’re a fan of free spins, look out for the special bonus feature that carries a top payout worth 5,000x your bet. A journey to a tropical paradise with a sleeping volcano awaits on the Mount Mazuma slot.
In Mount Mazuma you can spin the reels from 0.20 and enjoy three features that will see random wilds and up to 100,000 ways to win on the 5×5 game grid.
The Super-Way feature triggers randomly at the start of a spin. The volcano can erupt to split a number of reel positions into two, creating more lines.
Look out for the palm trees on the top and bottom rows. If a scatter lands on a spin a random reel position will be selected to be uncovered, further increasing the ways to win. The third modifier is random wilds that Mazuma will add to the reels.
A free spins bonus can be triggered if you land three or more scatters on the reels. You will win 10 free games to begin with. Our volcanic pal Mazuma then kicks into gear again, uncovering reel positions related to the number of trigger scatters. These spots remain uncovered for the whole feature.
In addition, you can win extra wilds at random and a Super Ways feature might trigger during any free game. Look out for the Super Spin too. If you win less than five times your stake on a free spin, the Super Spin begins. All reel positions are uncovered and Mazuma will split them to create the maximum 100,000 win ways.
For some hot and fiery action, check out the Mount Mazuma slot today.
Dragon Horn | Thunderkick
Are you a fearless knight on the hunt for excitement? Prepare for a high-volatility reel brawl in a fantasy kingdom with Thunderkick’s new Dragon Horn slot.
In this fresh and fiery 5-reel game your bravery will be rewarded with Dragon Fire mystery symbols and a bonus game with symbol upgrades. If a top payout of 8,282x your stake sounds like your idea of adventure, read on.
This medieval-themed slot is reminiscent of The Flame Busters slot, and there are some equally interesting features to enjoy.
Spins start at 0.10 and look out for the mystery symbols in the base game that appear to be replaced by regular paying icons.
If you land three or more scatters you will earn seven free games. Hit another scatter on the same spin and you will win two additional free spins. Now it’s time to enter the battleground and start collecting scatters.
Mystery symbols really come into play here. Work your way up the upgrades and you are left with just the highest-value icons plus wilds, scatters and mystery symbols. Slip on the suit of armor today and go into battle!
