The World Cup might be dominating pretty much everything at the moment but there’s still plenty of slot game news to report including a quintet of new releases.
Fortunium – Microgaming
Our first new arrival is Fortunium from Microgaming which transports players to a strange steampunk world that’s full of mechanical wonders. It’s a 5 reel, 5 row, 40 payline game that looks and sounds terrific. The symbols spin in stacks that are at least 2 high with some of them appearing in 5-high formation. Keep a special eye out for the ? symbol – these transform into the same matching symbol and a new payout follows.
The highlight is the Free Spins feature where you’ll get 10 free spins with Mystery Reels. These are filled with ? symbols. You’ll receive 1, 2 or 3 mystery reels depending on the number of scatters on the triggering spin. Boasting top design and some interesting extras, Fortunium offers some unusual but entertaining action.
God of Wild Sea – Playson
Powered by Playson, you join Poseidon in the lost city of Atlantis in God of Wild Sea – with 5 reels and 25 paylines, this Greek mythology tiles offers a randomly activated Wild feature where Poseidon adds random wilds. This also comes into play on every free spin in the Free Spins feature where up to 50 free spins can be won.
Olympus Thunder – NextGen Gaming
The mountains of ancient Greece are the setting for Olympus Thunder, a 5 reel, 20 payline game from NextGen Gaming. The symbol you’ll really be hoping to see here is the bearded figure of Zeus who is the game’s wild. Land 5 of him in a line and you’ll pocket a massive 500 times stake reward.
Zeus is also central to 1 of the 2 features. Land the Zeus wild on reel 3 and you’ll be awarded 3 re-spins complete with a stacked wild. The second feature is the Olympic Bonus feature. Here you can look forward to up to 40 free spins with a 3x boost.
Amazon Idols Million Maker – NextGen Gaming
Next is Amazon Idols Million Maker. Also created by NextGen Gaming, it’s a 5 reel, 25 payline slot game where the goal is to hunt down lost jungle treasure. This trip to the depths of the Amazonian rainforest comes with 3 bonus features.
There’s a Free Games feature where you’ll be offered the pick of 3 expanding wild and multiplier combinations. Prizes of up to 35 times your stake are on offer in the reel bonus. Land a spin again and you can look forward to double your payout. Finally, there’s the Grid of Amazonia feature which is a classic pick me round. You’ll also have a chance of landing a bumper jackpot prize.
Anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgundy – Bally
The last new arrival this week is Anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Based on the cult comedy starring Will Ferrell as the bumbling news readers, it’s a bonus heavy, 5 reel, 25 payline slot game from Bally. You’ll see all the main characters from the film in this madcap yarn. There’s a great variety of extras on offer here too.
These include mystery stacked reels, spins with just 5 rather than the standard 11 symbols and spins where between 3 and 10 extra wilds are added. All these can strike randomly. There are also 2 free spin rounds, a spin the wheel bonus and a pick me feature. You could also land 1 of 3 jackpot prizes.
As you’d expect if you’ve seen the film, the Anchorman game is a bright, gaudy and incredibly silly. The excellent range of extra means it delivers plenty of entertainment though, whether or not you’re a fan of the original movie.
