As a number of new igaming titles grace the CasinoBeats inbox, sit back and get to grips with a select few new slot games in one handy bite-size chunk.
Pragmatic Play – Peaky Blinders
Pragmatic Play has released its first branded slot title, with Peaky Blinders the result of collaborations with Endemol Shine and brand owner and producer Caryn Mandabach Productions.
The 3×5 slot takes players to the heart of Small Heath where they will experience the red right hand of the Shelby family.
Players will look to reach the “By Order Of The Peaky Blinders” or the “Shelby Betting Shop” modifiers to shoot for big wins, either of which can land on any spin.
With the “By Order Of The Peaky Blinders” modifier all character and wild symbols remain sticky on the reels, before activating a respin. They will then transform into a singular random character, triggering huge payouts.
The ‘Shelby Betting Shop’ bonus can also land on any spin, giving cash values for all character symbols which land, before accumulating the total for big wins.
Free spins modes are triggered when the Peaky Blinders Bonus symbol lands on reels one and three, before either of the modifier symbols lands on the fifth reel.
“Peaky Blinders marks our first branded title, in partnership with Endemol Shine, and we are proud to release a game based on such an iconic series.
“It has been very exciting developing content around such an established TV franchise, and we look forward to seeing how it is received by our fans across the globe. This is not one to miss.” – Melissa Summerfield, chief commercial officer at Pragmatic Play.
NetEnt – Hotline 2
NetEnt is offering a wild return to the burning hot Miami streets, as the online casino content developer aims to build on the success of its original offering with Hotline 2.
In addition to the ‘Hotline Bonus Bet’, which boosts the chance to win expanding wilds for a higher stake, the 5-reel, 3-row video slot has turned up the heat with a new free spins round.
The enhanced feature, designed to heighten the excitement throughout the play session, raises the number of bet ways to 1,944 as landing wild symbols increases the height of the reels by one symbol up to six.
“Hotline is a real favourite among NetEnt fans, so it made sense to expand the franchise with a sequel that ramps up the party feel and packs in more action.
“The new free spins feature perfectly complements the much-loved Hotline Bonus Bet of the original, adding another layer of excitement for maximum engagement.” – Andy Whitworth, NetEnt CCO.
Foxium – 3 Tiny Gods
Independent studio Foxium has unearthed what it bills as a fresh take on the Ancient Egyptian pantheon in 3 Tiny Gods, the firm’s new 5×4 slot game.
All characters in 3 Tiny Gods have unique powers that cause the sands under the pyramid that serves as the game’s backdrop to shift, changing the game in a single spin.
Horus invokes the ‘Myth of Horus’ feature, replacing random banks of symbols. Bastet’s generosity manifests itself in a re-shuffling of the reels, with ‘Gift of Bastet’ creating winning combinations fit for a pharaoh.
Anubis’ rage can add an entirely new layer to free spins by removing low-paying symbols and awarding extra spins with the ‘Wrath of Anubis’ feature.
If the player lands a scatter symbol on an odd-numbered reel the free spins round is triggered.
Furthermore, a jackpot mini-game brings physical scratchcards to life, offering players the chance to earn one of three tiered jackpots: mini, midi, or maxi.
“Foxium prides itself on creating games that are immediately identifiable to look at, and instant captivating to play, which is precisely the combination that 3 Tiny Gods offers to operators.
“The hyper-stylised artwork takes slightly tired ancient figures and gives them each a personality that will chime with players of social games and create cross-sell opportunities.
“And the high-stakes gameplay – which gives anyone the chance to uncover life-changing jackpots and take home 5000X their total bet – and multi-layered feature set guarantee that seasoned slots players will uncover treasures that run much deeper than any other Egyptian-themed slot.” – Åke André Foxium CEO.
BF Games – Book of Gates
Continuing on the same theme, BF Games invites players to explore Ancient Egypt in the group’s latest slot title Book of Gates, featuring the group’s new ‘Superlines’ mechanic.
Set in the desert among the famous pyramids, this slot has rows expanding from five to eight if the right symbols land, unlocking even greater win potential with up to 32,768 pay ways.
Three of the top rows hide a surprise behind the locked gates and to discover what lies beyond players must land a winning combo during the base game, triggering the Superlines mechanic.
Unlocking a row will prompt a respin, which will be active until the winning streak ends or all three rows are unlocked. If players land three of the scatter symbols they’re rewarded with a bonus round of ten free spins.
“Book of Gates has a popular theme and engaging features and the expanding reels add another layer of excitement to this game.
“We are thrilled to introduce our new Superlines mechanics which offers players even greater chances to win big. We continue to add quality slots to our portfolio with Book of Gates being the 56th addition and we are certain it will be a hit with all player types.” – Piotr Szpoton, CEO at BF Games.
