5 New Slots To Check Out
Let’s start our journey through time and explore five of the newest slots from Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt, Thunderkick, and SG Digital/WMS.
Spartacus Megaways
WMS and SG Digital transport you again to ancient Rome in the time of the gladiators. Spartacus Megaways is a sequel to their previous slot game Spartacus: Gladiator of Rome.
This slot once again brings to life the Gladiator Spartacus. This new version simplifies the complicated reel setup of its predecessor with only 6 main reels and 4 horizontally-spinning bottom rows. Spartacus Megaways is also packed with new features to make the game more exciting.
A cascade feature takes effect with three or more winning combinations. This can result in more combinations in just one spin. The red curtains add to the theater-like appeal of the game. The symbols behind the curtains cannot contribute to winning combinations. Winning on the base game lifts the curtain from one random reel to increase your winning ways. This also increases the chances of more cascades.
- Spartacus represents the Wild, and the Amphitheater represents the scatter symbol.
- Four Amphitheater symbols trigger the free spin.
- During the free spin, three or more amphitheater symbols will award the same number of free spins awarded at the beginning of the feature.
With 1,000,000 Megaways to win, Spartacus Megaways is one fantastic new slot to try this week.

Star Bounty
With Star Bounty, Pragmatic Play lets you travel to the future and go bounty hunting onboard a spaceship. The game takes place in the spacecraft’s bridge overlooking what might be an alien world or earth in the future.
The reel looks complicated at first with the hexagon-shaped grids forming what looks like a honeycomb. It’s actually the usual 6-reel set-up with 4 rows and 4,096 paylines.
The game has 12 main symbols. Among these symbols, the male hero is worth the most. A win occurs when three or more matching symbols land in adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel onwards.
Adding to the 12 main symbols are the wild, free spin, and the missile wild symbols. The wild substitutes for all symbols except for the free spin and the missile wild. Three or more free spins on the base game trigger the free spin feature. The missile wild is something to look forward to. When it appears, it fires into several symbols and turns them into wild symbols.
Pragmatic Play succeeded in creating a convincing sci-fi environment in Star Bounty. The slot’s rich graphics and futuristic sounds make playing the game enjoyable throughout.

Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches
Thunderkick will give you a taste of the rich culture of China with Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches. This game is set in a pond with Jin Chan as the main star. A colorful pagoda with animal carvings houses the game area of 15 paylines with its 5 reels and 3 rows.
