The online slots release calendar is heating up as summer approaches. Four new titles launched from leading developers on Thursday, covering everything from Ancient Egypt to the open water to the neon-lit streets of modern Japan.
Play’n GO, Booming Games, Blueprint Gaming, and Triple Edge Studios released titles simultaneously, featuring many popular game mechanics, volatility levels, and visual styles.
Wrappin’ Gold – Play’n GO
Play’n GO released Wrappin’ Gold, a character-driven Egyptian adventure slot that brings with it a sense of humor. The storyline focuses on Pharaoh Khufu, who wakes up after centuries of sleep to discover that Queen Cleo and her minions have stolen his gems. This leads him to pursue the thieves to get what is his.
five-reel video slot has a feature-rich base game
This five-reel video slot has a feature-rich base game. Players can collect triggering symbols to activate an array of bonuses, such as the collect and win mechanics, which are tied to prize symbols. There are also bonus spins that are triggered by landing three bonus spin symbols; they award six free spins and can be re-triggered.
Finally, instant bonuses can activate when wild symbols land on the reels. Four-tiered jackpots lie above the reels, so there’s always something substantial up for grabs during the base game.
The cinematic gameplay delivers an exciting slot experience that will capture the attention of most players.
Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ’Em In – Blueprint Gaming
Blueprint Gaming has released the latest in its most enduring franchise with Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ‘Em In, a direct successor to Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch 2. The game has the classic 5×3 reel structure and ten fixed paylines that the series is well known for. There is also the addition of a persistent pre-bonus system that gives players more control over the type of free spins round that they experience.
The highlight is the Lure ‘Em In mechanic. Bonus symbols that land during the base game with a special lure overlay add into one of three color-coded tackle boxes above the reels. Filling a box will trigger its associated upgrade for the subsequent free spins feature. The blue box activates re-spins, the red box boosts minimum fish values, and the green box adds extra fish, wilds, and fishermen for maximum catch potential.
game targets fans of the original Fishin’ Frenzy
The free spins round can quickly escalate, as collecting four fishermen upgrades the smallest fish to the next value tier and adds another five free spins. The game targets fans of the original Fishin’ Frenzy and players who enjoy multi-bonus upgrades, with the max win being 10,000x.
Inferno Fortune InstaStrike – Booming Games
Booming Games went for a more straightforward approach with Inferno Fortune InstaStrike, a fiery 3×3 grid slot with 10 paylines. The headline feature is the InstaStrike mechanic. Landing two or more InstaStrike symbols anywhere on the reels will lead to a payout of between 2x and 2,000x your bet, no bonus round or extra steps necessary.
The second layer of the game is the Mini InstaStrike overlay symbols that can appear during the base game on paying symbols. Collect three of them, and you’ll get a random prize of between 2x and 2,000x. The gamble option gives you the chance to go for double or nothing or quadruple or nothing.
Free spins are also on the table, with three scatter symbols awarding ten spins with no cap on retriggering. Inferno Fortune InstaStrike is a game that’s built for players who want fast outcomes and minimal friction.
Assassin Star – Triple Edge Studios
The most ambitious of the four slot releases is Assassin Star by Triple Edge Studios, a high volatility game with five reels and three rows. There are 25 paylines, and it’s set inside a modern Japanese city. The protagonist is a female assassin who acts as the wild symbol and will pay 100x for five of a kind.
The core feature is Ultra Link & Win. There are different types of upgrades available. For example, a golden star symbol will randomly boost the covered positions, while the red star power symbols offering prizes of between 2x and 100x. The pink star symbols add minor or mini jackpot values or cash prizes to the vacant reels.
mega jackpot up for grabs in a standalone spins game on an eight-position grid
The expanding grid means that more rows will be accessible as you accumulate prize symbols. Multipliers come with unlocking the upper rows. There will also be a mega jackpot up for grabs in a standalone spins game on an eight-position grid.
A feature buy option is available for an immediate Ultra Link & Win trigger, as well as an option for instant hot mode entry. The mega jackpot starts at 1,000x and scales up to the game’s 2,500x max win. With a default RTP of 96% and high volatility throughout, Assassin Star is best suited for experienced bonus hunters.
