Other Games Added
Below, you’ll find summaries of upcoming slots I’ve added this week (including in-depth reviews and free demos):
Bamboo Pandits (ELK Studios)
Bamboo Pandits is an Asian-themed slot starring 3 mischievous panda pandits, set in a tranquil mountain village with a pagoda backdrop and a serene soundtrack. Starting on 5 reels, 5 rows and 35 paylines from 20p a spin, 3 Loot symbols (rocket, dumpling and smokebomb) trigger Pandit features awarding position multipliers, a Big Wild up to 5x5 and Mystery symbols, while a random Gust of Wind adds Loot or Scatter symbols. In the Free Spins feature, you spin the wheel for Pandit features or extra free spins which can combine on an expanding grid of 6 reels and 44 paylines: the Big Wild can reach up to 6x6 in size. Max win potential is 10,000 x your total bet.
Cloudforge (Relax Gaming)
Cloudforge is a swarm-exterminating slot played on 6 reels and 20 paylines from 10p. The Expanding Wilds feature sees wilds land with multipliers, growing upwards and adding 1x per step; when 2 share a reel, the highest expands first, and Coinciding Wilds multiply their values together. The Electric Reels feature randomly electrifies reels so wilds expand both up and down to fill the reel and double the multiplier. Extermination Spins award 8 free spins where all wilds feed a global multiplier applied to every win, while Eradication Spins guarantee 1 electric reel each spin. Max win potential is 10,000 x your total bet.
Demonic Dolls (Hacksaw Gaming)
Demonic Dolls is a voodoo/horror Cluster Pays slot set in an attic, played on a 5x5 grid from 10p. Unusually, there are no cascades. The Wild Rattle symbol is central, carrying additive multipliers up to 100x that apply to any win it joins. It triggers the Respins feature, where Wild Rattles relocate and 2 that were part of a win merge into a 2x2 Colossal Wild Rattle with a combined multiplier: 4 merge into 2 Colossal Wild Rattles. 3 free spins modes offer higher Wild Rattle frequency, plus 1 or 2 guaranteed on each free spin. Max wins can reach 10,000 x your stake.
Buffalo King Megaways (Pragmatic Play)
Buffalo King Megaways is a Native American/buffalo-themed Megaways slot, played on 6 reels with up to 200,704 ways to win from 20p.
