This otherworldly new game challenges customers to match symbols on its fixed 50 paylines, with sticky Wilds and free spins available for those who successfully brave its enchanted gameplay. Landing six or more Free Games symbols triggers the bonus round, with the innovative cashback feature granting players half their total bet, multiplied by the number of Free Games.
Black Forest is the latest slot title of Spearhead Studios, the gaming company within EveryMatrix Group.

When the bonus round is awarded, players are granted free spins where any chips which land are instantly cashed in, while the Macau Money Spin, which can trigger randomly on any spin in base play, will also see any chips instantly exchanged for cash payouts.
Yggdrasil, has released Football Glory, a 5×4 footie-inspired slot set in a packed stadium. The new title is released just weeks before major European leagues kick off their new seasons. The game comes with a generous All Stars free spins mode where players try to score a goal when they land on the reels. If the ball hits the back of the net, symbols are transformed into a sticky wild, offering increased chances to walk away with a valuable victory. The Silver and Gold Cup symbols offer coin wins or free spins while all wins within the base game increase the Glory Bar which, once filled, triggers the Supers Stars and All Stars free spins.
RubyPlay® has announced the general release of a new slot called Sun of Ra, having been exclusively released with GVC last week. The game invites players to bask in the power of the Egyptian sun as Ra, the Sun god and king of the Egyptian gods.

Players are once again invited to take on the banker, this time with the innovative Lightning Spins™ adding a new twist to the gameplay with four in-game progressive jackpots and plenty of cash prizes to be revealed from the famous red and blue boxes. The new game is also the first to feature the exciting new Lightning Gold Spins symbols, which are fixed in position during the bonus and pay after every lightning spin, resulting in smaller wins building into significant prizes over the course of multiple free spins.
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has brought back its much-loved dog characters with its latest title, The Dog House Megaways™. The 117,649 payline game is the newest in Pragmatic Play’s Megaways™ slot offering and includes all the popular elements of its predecessor along with some exciting new features.

The latest title from Play’n GO was officially released into the market this week, the 5-reel video slot Saxon. The slot is a tribute to the carefree, freewheeling days of the eighties set to the soundtrack of one of British heavy metal’s most influential bands, Saxon, with players able to pick from several of their songs to listen to while playing. One of the era’s biggest European acts, their legacy has influenced several bands over the years, including top acts like Metallica and Megadeth.
