Operators in regulated gambling jurisdictions have dozens of new games to choose from every week. The holiday slots season which started with Halloween and runs through New Year’s Day always see a few more titles than normal join the fray. Not all games are seasonally themed but all are worthy of mention and fit to be hunted down and played.
Today, we see a handful of releases from global studios including Relax Gaming, Lucksome, Push Gaming, Wizard Games, and the always phenomenal Spinomenal.
Relax Gaming – Wild Yield
This 5×5 title has cascading reels in a 5×5 reel set. The top prize is 50,000x bet. When a Weather symbol lands it spawns Wilds across the reels and adds multipliers to the wins.
Three to eight wilds are spawned by the Weather symbols, but hitting a Super Pattern can award up to 12 wild symbols. Up to three Weather symbols can cause massive wildness.
This Relax Gaming title also has a Buy Feature option for players in most jurisdictions.
Lucksome – Saint Nicked
This is not your Granddaddy’s Saint Nick – this one is on the lamb and scatter symbols are cop cars. Land those to trigger up to 20 free games on the 5×3 reel set and then land a Ket to expand the reels to add two more reels and have an added free spin. Use the keys to unlock all the safe spaces and expand the slot to 5×5 and open up 3125 ways to win.
Johan John at Lucksome, said: “Saint Nicked has been in development for some time and is one of our most exciting releases of 2022. The team have worked tirelessly to build in a whole host of amazing features and mechanics and it’s a game we are all really proud of.”
Push Gaming – Retro Tapes
If you liked the look and feel of Push Gaming’s Jammin’ Jars, this slot might be right up your alley with a funky soundtrack and bright colors.
It’s a cluster pays game on a 6×9 reel set populated by variously colored cassette tapes – cluster up 5 or more for a win. New icons will drop down to fill in the blanks and create even more winning opportunities.
When a cluster of 5 or more icons form a win and includes an instant prize symbol you’ll also win a value of 1x to 1,000x your bet.
Push Gaming CEO James Marshall said: “The tapes may be retro but the gameplay is right up to date, with additional mechanics and a huge max win on offer…”
Wizard Games – Joker Diamond
Wizard uses classic symbols from the Fruity era for this game like Bells, Bars, and Lucky 7s along with a Joker symbol for the wild symbol.
Look for random bonuses to be awarded including Collect Pots, Free Spins or Cash Prizes. The bonuses sit above the reels and shuffle around among them with reels 2 and 4 locked during the base game. Land a diamond on a reel to win the bonus above it.
Fruity-era players and anyone interested in more intense slots play should check this game out.
The game follows on the heels of Santa’s Fortune and Wizard Games’ Halloween-themed Madame Voodoo released earlier.
Spinomenal – Book of Champions: World Glory
Spinomenal adds to its Champions Series with this slot. Players need to pick one of the five teams presented before spinning the reels and seeking the glory of the roaring crowd. Your team kit builds when the symbol is landed. You can change teams before any spin in the base game if you have a lucky hunch.
The soundtrack is Arabian to help you feel the Qatar action.
The wild is also a scatter pay symbol with three or more triggering free games. Turn the symbol wheel to find out which of the symbols will become the Expanding symbol. The revealed symbol will expand when it is part of a win to make more paylines lucrative.
Spinomenal’s CTO, Omer Henya, commented: “What better way to celebrate the start of the World Cup with our football-inspired slot. Book of Champions – World Glory gives players the opportunity to choose their team as they challenge for ultimate glory!”
