For our roundup of the best new online slots of the week, we take a look at some very different games.
3D pioneers Betsoft return with another crime caper with their Take the Bank slot. It’s a 5-reel game that features special bomb symbols which give you control over when they explode.
Talking of explosive action, Ganapati are the latest developers to enter the ring with a boxing-themed slot. Pacquiao One Punch KO is based on the career of one of the best boxers of all time: Emmanuel Dapidram Pacquiao, or Manny to his fans.
GamingRealms give the classic slot a twist with Hot Stepper. If you love staggered reels, this is a unique game unlike anything we’ve seen before.
And bringing up the rear are Elk Studios with Voodoo Gold. Hit big wins and watch as more and more rows are added to the game screen. With over 250,000 ways to win, Voodoo Gold is action with a capital A.
Take the Bank | Betsoft
You can always trust Betsoft to bring out a slick new release. Take the Bank is the latest addition to the 3D game provider’s arsenal. And if you like crime-themed games from Betsoft, like After Night Falls, this is for you.
Take the Bank features a robber as its central character. You need to pay attention to the reels, as the robber will be converted into a wild bomb every time he appears.
The bombs remain in position but will count down from 10 to zero. Once the counter hits zero, every bomb symbol will turn into a wild. This is where some strategy comes into play. Do you keep spinning, hoping to line up some big-hitting symbols on either side of the bombs, or do you hold tight and lock in a confirmed win?
Hitting three police cars on reels 2 to 4 triggers the free spins bonus. You will win 15 free games to begin with, but watch out for the wilds. You can win 5, 7, or 10 scattered anywhere across the reels during the feature. On every spin, the wilds move to a new position.
Tired of waiting for the free spins feature to trigger? In this 75-payline game, you can also hit the ‘Buy Feature’ button and cut to the chase, literally! The Buy Feature awards 15 free spins with more wilds the more you pay.

Pacquiao One Punch KO | Ganapati
Arguably, Manny Pacquiao is the greatest professional boxer of all time. 24 years since he first entered the ring, there’s still talk of a comeback. But while Manny ponders a return to the ring, Ganapati have beaten him to the punch with a branded release of their own.
Pacquiao One Punch KO is a 5-reel slot featuring a boxing ambience that includes crowd noises and the lights of the arena. It also uses cascading reels to determine your win on every spin.
After every cascading win, a meter alongside the reels will light up. Hit six wins in a row and you will win 6x the value of the winning combination.
Pacquiao One Punch KO also has a simple free spins bonus. It’s activated by landing three or more scatters anywhere in view. You will win 10 free games and a multiplier that rises from 3x to 8x, depending on how many cascading wins you hit in a row.
Does Pacquiao One Punch KO punch above its weight? Even if you aren’t a fan of boxing, there’s enough action here to satisfy any sport-themed slots fan. Give it a try for free at VegasSlotsOnline.
Hot Stepper | GamingRealms
Here’s something completely different from GamingRealms. Hot Stepper is a classic 5-reel slot that features staggered reels, a little like WMS’s Zeus III. All the familiar AWP slot symbols are here, like the gold bell, the BAR, and the red 7.
But this is a classic slot with a difference. Here you will find a bonus feature and five possible progressive jackpots to hit. The reels also behave in a completely different way than most regular slots.
A game of Hot Stepper starts with a series of 5 staggered reels. The reels contain 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 rows respectively. After any winning spin, the reels shift one place to the right. A new, bigger reel is added to the left-hand side. This continues to happen until a 5-row reel is added to the left. Ultimately, the reels will have inverted.
Three or more bonus symbols will trigger the cash grid feature. Work your way across the grid by correctly selecting arrow symbols. You will activate the Jackpot round if you manage to reach the right-hand side.
The Jackpot bonus is a vertical ladder which lets you select which path to take. By hitting the right steps, you’ll win one of five progressives: the Mini, Minor, Midi, Major, and Mega.
For lovers of classic slots, Hot Stepper could be a new release to add to your portfolio. Play it for free today.
Voodoo Gold | Elk Studios
We now head to the deep south of Louisiana for our final slot selection. Voodoo Gold by Elk Studios is a horror-themed slot with a good old slice of southern magic thrown in. There’s even a blues riff playing over the top of the game as you play.
There are big symbols, over 260,000 ways to win, and a unique increasing rows feature. But do you dare enter this spooky bayou on the hunt for big riches?
The new Voodoo Gold slot from Elk Studios looks amazing and manages to boast one or two exciting features we’ve not seen before.
First is the reel layout. You start the game playing 4 rows and 6 reels. There are 4,096 ways to win, meaning you simply have to line up matching symbols on adjacent reels. When you hit a winning spin, another row will be added to the top of the game grid. This increases the possible ways to win to 15,625.
Now things get interesting. Hit another consecutive win and the rows increase to 6, with 46,656 ways to win available. A 7th row increases the ways to win further to 117,649, and if you land 8 rows, you can play across 262,144 possible win ways.
Wins are determined by ‘drops’ rather than spins, much like a cascading reels slot. When you land three or more bonus symbols during the base game, you will win 6 or more free drops. Hit 6 bonus symbols and you win 15 free drops.
6-reel slots are popular right now. And we think Elk Studios’ latest addition to the pile might be one of the best yet. Give it a spin for free.
