If you’re a slots aficionado like us, you probably can’t think of a better way to usher in a new decade than by putting the best new online slots of the week to the test.
We begin 2020 with an eclectic mix of slot games from some of the most promising software providers in the industry.
Pocket Games Soft kicks off the new year with Dragon Hatch, a 5×5 grid slot that boasts jaw-dropping animations and ferocious features. We then slither into the grounds of a fortified castle in Snake Arena, a Relax Gaming slot that pits dragons against knights.
NextGen Gaming then transports us to downtown Las Vegas for a gambling session at one of the world’s most celebrated hotel-casinos with the Golden Nugget online slot. Finally, we dive into uncharted waters with a marine biologist in search of strange creatures in Deep Sea by BGaming.
Dragon Hatch by Pocket Games Soft
Fire up the Dragon Hatch slot machine to win up to 15,000x your stake inside a treasure-filled cave.
Powered by Pocket Games Soft, or PG SOFT, this ‘eggciting’ 5×5 grid slot transports you to the Dragon Queen’s lair, where you’ll find four colorful eggs resting atop a mountain of gold coins.
By collecting the required number of winning symbols, each of these eggs will hatch into a powerful dragon that awards its very own feature. The inclusion of cascading reels makes this feat easier, with unlimited wins possible every time you send stone-carved symbols tumbling onto the grid.
The Earth and Water Dragon features are relatively easy to trigger, but it’s the Water Dragon and Dragon Queen features that deliver the most ferocious wins.
The Dragon Queen awakens from her deep sleep to transform all low-paying symbols into premium or wild symbols every time you collect 70 or more winning symbols.
With amazing animations, cutting-edge gameplay, and an impressive RTP of 96.83%, we can honestly say that Pocket Games Soft has hatched a brilliant slot to kickstart the new year.
Snake Arena by Relax Gaming
Relax Gaming crank up the volatility levels with their innovative Snake Arena slot machine.
Memories of playing the retro Snake video game on your Nokia will flood back as soon as you load the medieval slot. The Malta-based provider has clearly taken inspiration from the classic survival game for this new release.
Like Dragon Hatch, the Snake Arena online slot utilizes a 5×5 format, with wins calculated across 30 fixed paylines. The action takes place within the grounds of a castle, where you’ll be hoping to see a slithering snake grow while pursuing a frightened knight.
The Wild Chase feature adds some excitement to the base game. It’s a random feature that sees the snake and knight pop up in unison, with reels turning wild when they appear on the same reel. At least one wild reel is guaranteed, but you’ll be hoping they turn all five reels wilds for an epic win.
Speaking of epic wins, you can win up to 2,758.8x your bet during free spins. There is no set number of free spins, as the feature only ends when the snake eats itself or when it covers reels two to five, which awards a bonus prize of 1,000x your bet.
Snake Arena is a unique slot that oozes potential and boasts a generous RTP of 96.25%. Slither over to our review and give it a try.
Golden Nugget by NextGen Gaming
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to gamble at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in fabulous Las Vegas? If you don’t have the time to catch a flight, NextGen Gaming’s Golden Nugget online slot is the perfect alternative.
The virtual fun takes place in a gaming room inside the luxury hotel and casino. Comprising five reels and 25 fixed paylines, the Golden Nugget slot gives you a chance to strike gold from as little as 0.25 credits per spin. You just won’t receive any comp points or free upgrades.
The distinctive Golden Nugget logo substitutes as a wild symbol, awarding wins of up to 500x the line bet. It also turns adjacent symbols to gold, thanks to the VIP Golden Touch feature.
Symbols that can turn to gold depend on whether the Goldenbet feature has been activated, and if it has, which level has been paid for. We recommend paying the additional bet of 25 coins for level two. It increases the RTP to 95.619% and makes it possible for four different symbols to turn to gold.
You can also exchange stacks of chips for free games. You can win up to 25 free games when you trigger the VIP Free Games feature, with some gold symbols that touch new symbols also turning them gold.
With a jazz-inspired soundtrack and exciting bonus features, the Golden Nugget slot certainly has the golden touch. Put your luck to the test by giving it a try on VegasSlotsOnline.
Deep Sea by BGaming
We conclude this week’s roundup of the best new online slots by diving deep below the surface in Deep Sea by BGaming.
While most underwater-themed slots see us splash around with mermaids and tropical fish, creatures of a different kind lurk at the bottom of this sea. It’s difficult to describe how they look, but you’ll be joined by a marine biologist who happily takes photographs of them during every spin.
A paltry RTP of 94% may have you questioning whether Deep Sea is worth diving into, but we can assure you it is. Playable from just 0.20 credits, this five-reel, three-row online rewards you for matching weird and wonderful sea creatures across 15 fixed paylines.
Landing three, four, or five cameras simultaneously awards 10, 12, or 15 free games, respectively. A weird Angler Fish appears during this feature, with three appearances resulting in 10 wild symbols being added to the reels. This is key to resurfacing with pockets deeper than when you first dived in.
If you’re seeking an online slot with a serene soundscape, striking visuals, and features that deliver payouts as extraordinary as the creatures you swim alongside, then be sure to give Deep Sea a try.
