New Slots To Be Released on Week 8 of 2021
Software developers serve new slots with excellent features this week 8 of 2021. Three of the slots each boast a trademarked hit mechanism — PopWins, Megaways, and InfiniReels. The other two have marvelous features as well. One offers four variations of bonus rounds, and the other serves double wild, sticky wild, and multipliers.
All of them are worth a try, but we’ll leave that decision to you once you’ve finished reading this article. So, without further adieu, here’s a rundown of five of the best new slots this week.
5 New Slots To Check Out
Avatar UX, Big Time Gaming, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil Gaming, and Red Tiger are behind some of the best new slots this week 8 of 2021. Let’s find out what’s in store for you when you choose to play one or all of these new slots.
TikiPop
One of the new slots on week 7 of 2021 is the 5th addition to the PopWins series. Prepare your eyes for a burst of flashy colors typical in Tiki culture on Avatar UX’s TikiPop. Upbeat music will also fill your ears as you spin the default 5×3 reel and experience the PopWins mechanic.
The game pays both ways, and when winning combinations form, the matching symbols pop. New symbols replace them, and the rows expand. When all reels extend to the maximum height of 5 rows, a win multiplier of x2 is applied. Win ways will also increase from 243 to 3,125. As it is a pay-both-ways slot, the win ways are doubled and become 486 to 6,250.
In the base game, the reel’s height resets after every spin. Such is not the case when you get to the free spins round. So, all reels can reach 5 rows in the bonus round, which has three levels.
- 7 free spins when 3 scatters land.
- 11 free spins when 4 scatters land.
- 15 free spins when 5 scatters land.
Before the bonus round begins, you’ll get a chance to gamble level 1 for level 2 or level 2 for level 3. You’ll have a 50% chance of going to a higher level or back to the base game. If you don’t want to take that chance, you can always collect what you win and play the bonus round. Besides the reel’s height not resetting, there are also progressive multipliers and win ways of up to 33,614 in the free spins round.
| Number of Paylines: 33,614 | RTP: 96.10% |
| Min Bet: 0.20 | Max Bet: 50 |
| Max Payout: 32,000x | Software Provider: Avatar UX |
Wheel of Fortune Megaways
There is no denying how popular the Wheel of Fortune has become since its debut back in the 70s. So, it’s no surprise that developers make slot versions of this hit TV show. As a new addition to its Megaways slots, Big Time Gaming serves Wheel of Fortune Megaways this week 8 of 2021.
BTG toned down the original show’s luxurious atmosphere and opted for a more straightforward look for its Megaways version. Nevertheless, it sports the 6 reels and 2 to 7 rows capable of producing 117,649 maximum win ways. To score a win, you need to form adjacent matching symbols from the leftmost reel to the rightmost one.
Wild, which lands on the middle 4 reels, can help you in forming winning combinations. Every time a wild lands, there is also a chance for it to turn into a Wild Megastack. The wild symbols can stack to cover 7 rows of up to 3 reels in the base game. In the bonus round, 10 wild symbols can stack to cover a maximum of 2 reels.
The Wheel of Fortune logo, which is the scatter symbol, needs to land to trigger the bonus round. You’ll get 12, 14, 16, or 18 free spins if 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters land in view, respectively. The Expansion symbol is something to look forward to during the round. This is your ticket to possibly reaching up to 1 million Megaways!
| Number of Paylines: Up to 1 million | RTP: 96.46% |
| Min Bet: 0.20 | Max Bet: 500 |
| Max Payout: 80,150x per spin | Software Provider: Big Time Gaming |
Faces of Freya
Developer Play’n GO is almost always in our weekly selection of new slots, and week 8 of 2021 is no different. This time, this Swedish developer serves us a Norse mythology-themed slot named Faces of Freya.
Enjoy a serene summer vibe while playing this 5-reel, 20-payline slot. Symbols all follow the theme starting with the runes-looking low-paying card faces. Premiums consist of Freya’s bracelet, cats, a boar, and axes, paying 10x to 17.5x your stake for five of a kind. Freya represents the wild symbol and also pays 20x the stake for five of a kind.
Freya’s necklace is the scatter symbol, and it is your ticket to the free spins round, which has four variations. Three scatter symbols award 6 free spins and trigger any one of the first three free spins variations.
- Spins of Sorcery. The premium symbols can upgrade to other symbols of higher value.
- Spins of Love. You’ll get 2 to 5 wilds on each spin.
- Spins of War. All your wins will have a multiplier x2 to x20.
The fourth variation, Folkvang free spins, is triggered when 4 or 5 scatters land in view. This is the most rewarding among the 4 types of free spins and comes with 4 different levels. Depending on the level, you’ll get the rewards from the first three free spins variations. Also, you can get as many as 18 or 19 free spins because of the scatter collection system.
| Number of Paylines: 20 | RTP: 96.20% (Default) |
| Min Bet: 0.20 | Max Bet: 100 |
| Max Payout: 5,000x | Software Provider: Play’n GO |
Reel Desire
Yggdrasil Gaming revives the disco scene of the 80s in its new addition to its slots portfolio this week 8 of 2021. Reel Desire doubles as the name of this slot and the nightclub where all the action takes place. Neon lights decorated with love signs, kisses, and hearts serve as the DJ booth’s background where the 5-reel slot is propped.
Card suits comprise the low-pay symbols while wristwatches, hi-top shoes, shades, a guy, and a girl make up the premiums. A cassette tape symbol represents the wild, which can land on all reels to substitute for other symbols. When it lands on reels 2 to 4, it can randomly turn into a Double Wild that carries a multiplier of x2. Double Wilds are sticky wilds too and trigger a respin.
Unique to the base game is the Reel Desire feature, which can trigger at random to transform 1 to 5 reels into wild. If you’re looking for rewarding features, you’ll find them in the free spins round. To trigger this, three of the ghetto blaster scatter symbols must land on the reel. You’ll get 10 free spins then. Four or five scatters landing awards additional prizes of 50x or 500x the stake. Before the bonus round begins, you need to choose between these two modes:
- Sticky Wilds. All wilds remain sticky throughout the bonus round.
- Multipliers. The multiplier increases by 1 for every winning spin.
| Number of Paylines: 1,024 | RTP: 96% |
| Min Bet: 0.25 | Max Bet: 75 |
| Max Payout: 20,480x | Software Provider: Yggdrasil Gaming |
Dragon’s Fire InfiniReels
Red Tiger revives sibling NetEnt’s InfiniReels mechanism to give its 2018 slot Dragon’s Fire a makeover. Once again, the studio succeeded in serving a visually satisfying presentation, bringing the fantasy world to life in Dragon’s Fire InfiniReels.
The 3×3 grid stands surrounded by piles of glittering gold at the center of perhaps the dragon’s lair. Symbols pay when at least three of a kind land from the leftmost reel onwards. When wins occur, the current reels lock into place, and a new one gets added on the right side. If the next spin results in a win, the added reel also locks into place for the next spin. A new reel is once again added, and the process will continue until the spin doesn’t result in a win. The reel will then return to its base state of 3×3.
You can change bet levels and preserve any progress you have on the last stake. If you return to that stake level, you’ll start the game right where you left off before changing bets.
Watch out for fire eggs symbols because they apply a random multiplier to the current win when they land. Something to also look forward to on new reels is the Fire Wild which appears when a reel is on fire.
At least 3 Dragon Spins symbol landing on reels 1, 2, and 3 awards 10 free spins or Dragon Spins. Only the +2 Spin symbols, Fire Eggs, Fire Wilds, and a preselected symbol can land during the bonus round. When the +2 Spins symbol lands, you’ll get 2 additional free spins, thus extending the bonus round.
| Number of Paylines: InfiniReels | RTP: 95.74% (Default) |
| Min Bet: 0.10 | Max Bet: 10 |
| Max Payout: 10,454x | Software Provider: Red Tiger |
