2021 was a year of big online slot releases! We saw games like Gemix 2, Reactoonz 2, and Starburst XXXtreme, but it is time to say goodbye to last year and take a look at some of the titles we think are going to cause a stir this year!
Coming to Your Screens Soon
1. Money Train 3
We’ve seen Money Train 1, Money Train 2 and now Relax Gaming are going one step further with talk of Money Train 3! We’ve heard this game is set to launch in the first quarter of this year and whilst graphics have not been released yet the game will feature similar themes to its predecessor with Cowboys, Guns, and the Wild West.
Relax Gaming have packed in some excitement for their third title in this series which includes a Bonus Buy feature for eligible countries, Collect symbols, Increasing Multipliers, Respins, Stacked Symbols, Sticky Symbols and a Free Spins round!
2. Dead or Alive Megaways
NetEnt’s popular Dead or Alive got a sequel in 1999 when the provider launched Dead or Alive 2 and now three years later we have another! The original Dead or Alive remains one of the biggest games for NetEnt of all time, but will their Dead or Alive Megaways live up to expectations?
Sticking with the popular western theme this game is expected to be set on 6-reels and over 100,000 ways to win! A far stretch from their original 9-liner! The luckiest of players may be able to obtain the games maximum payout which is an impressive 50,000x the total bet so watch this space for NetEnt’s next debut!
3. Sakura Fortune 2
Quickspin launched Sakura Fortune in 2017 and this year we will finally see the launch of Sakura Fortune 2 Slot. The original was a great game so we’re sure fans will be delighted to hear of a sequel to this one.
We can look forward to this game soon, although no date has been set in stone yet. Quickspin have really gone crazy with the reels on this one, as it will be a 3-4-4-4-3 grid panel with 546 ways to win! We’ll see Sakura Wilds, Free Spins and a Bonus Buy feature for eligible countries.
4. Gigantoonz
Now, this is a big one! If you are a die-hard Play’n GO fan you should already know from the title which series of slots this one is from! It is of course Reactoonz and Reactoonz 2 which was launched just last and are two huge names in the providers’ portfolio! The burning question however is, has Play’n GO done everything they can with these games or is there more to give?
Gigantoonz will combine both of its predecessors, mixing elements of both games with some changes. The game area has now been enlarged and will be set on an 8x8 grid format and at least 6 matching symbols are now required to form a winning cluster. Features will include Mega Symbols, Quantum Wilds, and a Quantum Meter.
5. Vikings Go To Valhalla
Yggdrasil will also be launching another sequel in their series which we’ve heard is meant to be released early this year but very little information has been released on Vikings Go To Valhalla yet, so watch this space!
6. Jurassic Park Gold
Jurassic Park Gold will be powered by Microgaming and you can win up to 8,000x your total stake! The game will be set in the jungle and we’ll see some quotes from the original 1993 Jurassic Park movie.
Microgaming has also included their exciting Link & Win feature which gained popularity last year and there’s a jackpot feature included in this! Other features include Free Spins and a Wild Chase.
7. Book of El Dorado
Although this game has been exclusive to Betfair and PaddyPower Casino already, this year we will see it go live across the industry! You will enter a city of wealth and gold in Book of El Dorado, and Pragmatic Play has given you the chance to win up to 5,500x your total stake. Features include Free Spins, Expanding Symbols, and the chance to retrigger the Free Spins for a bigger winning potential.
What a lineup we can look forward to this year! We’ll be talking a lot more about upcoming games for 2022 in the forum so feel free to join us there to continue the discussion.
