3 Slots To Look Out For This Summer

As Europe goes football crazy in summer 2021 and sports betting enjoys the rewards that brings, the online casino market is, as always, working hard to compete for attention. To that end there is an abundance of high-quality video slots on release in the coming months, and here we take a look at three of the best, including a classic high variance game from Push Gaming that’s been given an excellent re-boot!

Top Dawg$ by Relax Gaming

Earlier this year, Australia’s Nolimit City launched their East Coast vs West Coast slot game a high variance masterclass with a strong flavour of South Central LA hip hop, stacked with bling, dead presidents and iconic graffiti. That was a feature-packed extravaganza that immediately garnered a lot of attention. And now rivals Relax Gaming are getting in on the act with their Top Dawg$ game, scheduled for release in June 2020 and notable for its hazy downtown backdrop and cast of cartoon dawg characters and low rider hydraulics.

Relax haven’t quite matched Nolimit Ciy’s game for action – there are just a few features to boost the base gameplay – but it still boasts a very high variance (5/5) and comes with an enticing top payout of over 25,000x. Big wins can be triggered in the free spins round where all wilds are sticky and extra scatters boost the free spins by 1 and the multipliers on all visible sticky wilds by 1x, to a maximum of 7x. These wild multipliers combine and this way it is possible to hit a maximum multiplier of 16,807!

Jammin’ Jars 2 by Push Gaming

Push Gaming have a history of creating high quality, high risk slots with super-fun gameplay and amusing themes. Their classic Fat Rabbit and the excellent Tiki Tumble are great examples of this, but perhaps their most-loved game to date is the music-themed Jammin Jars, with its fruit-filled grid, mirror ball and rainbow graphics. So it makes total sense that London-based Push would release a sequel with some added fun in the form of a Giga Jar DJ who collects gold vinyl helping players to level-up in the bonus round with added wilds, multipliers and colossal symbols thrown into the mix.

So, is Jammin’ Jars 2 set to be a bigger success? Well, if sequels are all about keeping the best parts of the original and adding to them without losing the spirit of the game then this is a big success. The visuals haven’t change much, and the variance is still sky high, but the added level-ups and possibilities of scoring big wins in the bonus round through sticky wilds

and multipliers look to make this one of the biggest releases this year.

And did we mention, the top payout here has more than doubled from 20,000x to 50,000x which will be a massive draw for high variance fanatics!

Scroll of Dead by Play n Go

The Book of … series of slots has produced some of the most popular games of all time, including the original Book of Dead game by Play n Go, and Novomatic’s Book of Ra. Since then countless imitations have arrived on the market, with interesting variations, like last year’s Book of Shadows from Nolimit City. It’s always exciting to see the different treatments given to this game format, and even more so when the studio behind it is the originator, Sweden’s Play n Go. For that reason, we are excited to see the launch of their new Scroll of Dead game, already live at many slots sites in the UK like these ones.

So, what have they done to move this game to new levels? Well, whilst the basic gameplay remains the same, the addition of a 6^th ‘locked’ reel which becomes active in the free spins round helps push the payout potential of this slot up to 7,500x (from 5,000x in the original). Apart from that, this sequel is very similar, with the usual expanding symbol in the bonus round making it possible to land a full screen of highest paying icons and trigger that top win. Aside from that, the production values are improved with high quality visuals and a slick soundtrack giving the whole experience a luxurious sheen!
