It’s week 26, and we have yet another vast collection of new slot releases to play and talk you through. This week, we see games from top providers NetEnt and Play’n GO and exciting action from Pragmatic Play and Quickspin. We will take you to the ancient worlds of Greece and Japan, but first, we will be highlighting Pragmatic Play’s brand new slot game. So, let us jump straight into the action with our first slot highlight of the week, Empty the Bank.

Empty the Bank by Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play is giving you the opportunity to empty the bank with all sorts of prizes available to win. This 5x4 slot game comes with 20 paylines in total as you team up with the robber to plan the perfect bank heist. You have wilds and bonus symbols as well as a selection of bank and robbery-styled symbols. A respin feature sits at the center of the game, and this is where you can get your hands on the highly sought-after loot. Spin three of the bonus symbols, and you’ll enter a second bonus screen that starts with a 5x4 grid that can increase up to a 7x6 grid in total. Keep your eye out for the nine bank robber tools such as the ladder, drill, walkie-talkie, and hammer. All of these will help you pick up more prizes as you play through the respins feature.

It’s another great-looking game from the Pragmatic Play team. The fact you can pay to access the bonus round should attract many of the high rollers out there as well.

Guardian of Athens by Quickspin

Guardian of Athens by Quickspin

Quickspin has delivered a great-looking game that combines the imagery of ancient Greece with reels full of symbols. The game itself is based on a 5x3 slot grid with 20 paylines and a top win worth over 16,000x your bet. The features included in the game are not going to win any prizes for innovation. But, it does include popular options such as free spins and multiplier wilds. If you land three of the bonus symbols, then you’ll open up the free spins bonus game. The option to choose your volatility from 6-15 free spins will appeal to many players. For example, you can choose six free spins with a bigger potential reward or play it safer with 15 free spins and smaller rewards. 

Quickspin has based this feature on its popular Eastern Emeralds game. So, they already know players will love the bonus mechanics of this brand new Guardian of Athens release.

Three Samurai by Slotmill

Three Samurai by Slotmill

Slotmill has opted for one of the lesser-known ancient historical periods in the slot gaming world with Three Samurai. This game offers a 5x3 layout with 20 paylines that increase to a 5x4 layout and 40 paylines in the bonus game. As you would expect, the game has been designed with the old samurai imagery. You can find torii gates in the background and three Samurai women characters: Midori, Akane, and Sumire. You can win up to 10,000x your bet with the help of stacked wilds and stacked nudges to improve your winnings as well. Land three or more of the bonus symbols, and you can choose between 6-10 free spins with ranging multipliers from 2x to 5x available. 

Three Samurai is a highly volatile game that takes you back to the ancient world of Japan. This theme welcomes a unique experience and something a bit different from the usual Greek and Egyptian games we see all the time.

Codex of Fortune by NetEnt

Codex of Fortune by NetEnt

Codes of Fortune is an excellent slot game from the famous NetEnt studios. Introducing a cryptic codex on the side of your game screen, you need to collect key symbols to progress in your quest for big cash prizes. The further you go, the bigger the multipliers will be. At the heart of this intriguing game is the 5x4 slot layout with 40 fixed paylines. The features included by NetEnt are respins and free spins, and both make use of the all-important in-game key symbol. Players get the chance to decide to cash in and collect winnings or save the keys for the free spins feature and earn bigger multipliers. 

You can win up to 2,000x your bet in Codex of Fortune, but it’s the decision-making and intriguing theme that will attract most players.

Blazin Bullfrog by Play’n GO

Blazin Bullfrog by Play’n GO

Blazin’ Bullfrog from the Play’n GO team is based around a 5x3 layout and the “243 payways” mechanic. This is a game that will suit the traditionalists out there and shows that not every new game needs to be pushing the boundaries of slot gaming. There is still plenty of room for classic slot designs with 7s, BAR’s, and colored gems. The main focus in Blazin’ Bullfrog is the Blazin Respin feature. It is triggered by the scatter symbol and opens up the opportunity to land much bigger prizes with the additional help of wild scatter icons. Here we have simple gameplay from a talented team of designers, and it goes to show that sometimes basic is better.

Other Released Slots

Picking out five of the top slots this week was a difficult choice, so we tried to include a good mix of titles. As for the best of the rest, there are plenty to choose from yet again. Those worth a special mention include Adventures of Lil’ Red by RubyPlay, a little red riding hood-inspired game. Slingone’ Fishing is another bingo/slot game from Singo Originals that is sure to attract attention. The Masked Singer UK from Green Valley Games (GVG) should also be a popular release for those watching the popular TV show. All in all, we have yet another blockbuster collection of slot games that will keep you going until we come back with yet more new releases next week.

Here’s a complete list of new slot releases:
