Marlin Masters Atlantis by Hacksaw Gaming
Many leading slot developers launched new slot games on April 23, feeding the need for players to always have something fresh to enjoy. One of the highlights was the latest release in the Marlin Masters series from Hacksaw Gaming. The latest iteration is Marlin Masters Atlantis, which follows on from Marlin Masters and Marlin Masters: The Big Haul.
Thursday’s launch sees players enjoying a quest by fishermen to explore the waters above the forgotten city of Atlantis. The base game has a 5×4 grid, 26 paylines, and medium volatility with an RTP of 96.27%.
The signature LootLines mechanic returns, allowing fish symbols to pay out on winning paylines rather than relying solely on the Fisherman collector symbol. There are jackpots up for grabs, going as high as 10,000x your stake.
Kraken Collector is the headline new addition
The Kraken Collector is the headline new addition, which lands on the leftmost reel, expands to cover it entirely, and then holds all Marlin symbols in place while the rest of the grid respins. There are also two free spins bonus rounds. Sunken Empire grants you ten spins when you get three scatters. The Poseidon feature gives you 15 free spins when you land four scatter symbols.
Marlin Masters Atlantis is a polished new slot game that will be a fun option for fans of the series. While it won’t be able to disrupt the dominance that Big Bass Bonanza has in the fishing slots space, its Atlantis theme and jackpot potential make it a good fit for many players.
The Flintstones Rock Around the Pots by Blueprint Gaming
Blueprint Gaming has once again entered the world of licensed IP, following popular titles such as Austin Powers, Ted, and Deal or No Deal. This time, it’s launched The Flintstones: Rock Around the Pots. Fans of the classic cartoon will see familiar faces across the reels, as well as expanding wilds, cash collect mechanics, and a hold and win style bonus feature.
There’s a notably low RTP of 93%, with 10 paylines on the 5×3 grid. Wilds can land anywhere and expand to cover entire reels, which can help create combinations in the base game. Cash symbols carry values that come into play during the bonus rounds.
pays 500x when players fill the entire reel
Between 6 and 10 free spins are available when you land at least three scatters. The cash feature is the highlight of The Flintstones: Rock Around the Pots. It is a hold-and-win round that starts with three respins, resets when a new symbol lands, and pays 500x when players fill the entire reel. There’s also the secondary Rock Around the Pots round if there’s a car symbol present at the end of the feature.
Bling Blitz Diamond Drop by BGaming
BGaming rounds out the top slot launches on Thursday with Bling Blitz Diamond Drop. It’s a 3×3 EZReel slot which offers a considerable amount despite its compact frame. The game follows on from Jewel Boom Super Drop, while delivering a three-pot Diamond Bonus system.
colored Diamond symbols can unlock different bonus games
The main mechanic involves Coin symbols landing on the central panel for instant wins of between 0.1x and 10x. Collector symbols on reel two trigger Super Spins with up to 100x multipliers available and multiple symbols that stack on the current Collector value during those spins. Three colored Diamond symbols can unlock different bonus games or combine to trigger them all at the same time.
The Blue Diamond will launch Jackpot Spins, the red triggers Colossal Spins with up to 100x wins available, and the green opens Hold ‘n’ Win Spins with remaining multipliers. There are five fixed jackpots available, going up to 1,000x during Jackpot Spins or the combined bonus round.
The RTP for Bling Blitz Diamond Drop sits at 96%, volatility is medium, and the max win is 3,000x your bet. The great bonus depth makes this one a must-try new slot game from BGaming.
