Peek & Pounce by NowNow Gaming
Two new slot games hit online casinos this week, offering very different types of experiences. Peek & Pounce is first up, made by NowNow Gaming, which now sits under the Hacksaw Gaming umbrella. This is a five-reel, four-row feature slot that’s built on one of the biggest rivalries ever seen, the cat versus the mouse.
The game follows the wily Señor Pounce as he stalks Pip and his gang of mischievous mice across the reels. The core mechanic is the Wild Chase feature, which you trigger when a Señor Pounce symbol lands beneath one of Pip’s friends peeking out from hiding holes above the reels.
The cat leaps up to claim his catch when activated, which converts the entire reel into wild symbols and leaves behind a multiplier of up to 500x. Multiple chases are possible through a single spin, so wild reels can stack and multipliers combine for potentially some major payouts.
game’s max win is a respectable 10,000x and is achievable through most game modes
There’s even more fun to be had with the Catch the Cheese bonus round, where more of Pip’s crew appear, and Señor Pounce pounces with greater frequency, leading to more random wilds. The game’s max win is a respectable 10,000x and is achievable through most game modes. Peek & Pounce is a game with broad appeal, as it’s playful enough for casual players and has enough significant multipliers to keep high-stakes players happy.
Phantom Pulse by Print Studios
Print Studios went in a completely different direction with Phantom Pulse, released on Wednesday. It’s a high volatility grid slot with a gritty techno feel, featuring a thumping electronic soundtrack that sets the mood for players.
gradually building momentum into increasingly stronger outcomes
There are two interconnected systems in this game: grid multipliers and the morphing clusters. Repeated wins will grow multipliers on individual grid positions, and winning clusters expand and develop across the grid, gradually building momentum into increasingly stronger outcomes.
Pulse Bomb is a high-impact feature that clears symbols across multiple positions and accelerates multiplier growth in waves, significantly changing the grid and opening new winning paths.
Two free spins modes add another layer to Phantom Pulse. Pulse Spins have persistent multipliers, while the more volatile Charged Pulse Spins guarantee a Pulse Bomb every spin.
That means there can be relentless multiplier growth and potential to reach the max win of 20,000x your stake. The RTP is 96.40%, with bonus buy options available. Any player who likes fast and unpredictable gameplay will do well to try Phantom Pulse.
