Thanks to ever-improving technology and innovation, 2018 had no shortage of top-quality slot games, with leading software providers scrambling to out-do each other. Of these, let’s re-cap the top 10 slots that Kiwi players indulged in during the last year. Note that all the mentioned games are available to play across all formats.

Avalon

Avalon is a classic 5-reel x 20 payline Microgaming video slot that just seems to get better with age. Relive the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table told through lovely graphics with an enchanting soundtrack. Bonus features include free spins with multipliers up to 7x as well as a bonus gamble game for a 2x or 4x win. Best of all, this medium-variance slot comes with a 97% RTP and a max jackpot of 105,000 in cash!

Fortunium

Visit the golden City of Fortunium for bountiful wins in this 5 x 5 x 40 payline Microgaming / Stormcraft Studios release with a steampunk feel. Fortunium is well crafted, offers great features – check out the Win Booster option especially, and comes with an RTP of 96.47%.

Adventure Palace

If you’re looking for a jungle adventure that offers decent wins against a low bankroll, then the 5-reel x 9-payline Adventure Palace slot from Microgaming is the way to go. This penny slot also comes with a gamble feature that guarantees little thrills by gambling the wins you do get if you’re not hitting any of the free spins. Max wins go up to 10,000 coins and the RTP is 96.1%

Break da bank Again

Powered by Microgaming software, Mega Spin Break Da Bank Again is a multi-panel slot machine sequel to the ever-popular Beak Da Bank. Following the same heist theme, you have 5 reels and 9 paylines of tight security combinations to break through, to ultimately unlock the bank vault and get away with wins up to 375,000 coins.

Cool Buck 5-reel

Cool Buck is a Microgaming slot with 5 reels and 9 paylines. Gameplay benefits from super stacked wilds in both the base game and Free Spins feature – where you can get up to 30 free spins.

Agent Jane Blonde

Agent Jane Blonde is a simple Microgaming slot with 5 reels and 9 paylines. The classic spy-themed game comes with a wild that doubles payouts, as well as a Free Spins feature that awards up to 30 free spins with a potential 6x multiplier (with the doubling wild). It is a medium variance game with the potential to reward you with 3,407.11x stake on each free spin – provided it includes the doubling wild (as you’ll benefit from a 6x multiplier). Base game wins can go up to 1,140.44x your stake.

Asian Beauty

Asian Beauty is a 5-reel x 243 ways Microgaming video slot with a pleasant Oriental theme. The game is packed with win-boosting features, including wilds, scatters, a free spins bonus game and a Mirror bonus game yielding up to 9,000 coins, which is triggered randomly.

RTG Asia launches new Naughty or Nice III slot

December 11, 2018 by Admin

With Christmas fast approaching, Santa is already prepping his sleigh and calling his reindeer to order. And for slot players, what can be a better Xmas gift, than having the charming Naughty or Nice girls flaunting their bikinis for you at the car wash in the new 5-reel x 30 payline video slot from RTG.

This is the third game in the category, featuring Santa and his sexy girlfriends “Naughty” and “Nice”. However, this time round Naughty or Nice III is a medium volatility slot, whereas it was higher in the previous installments. The game, similar to Spring Break, features a major and minor random progressive jackpot, which could pop up at any time!

In-game benefits include the Lucky Feature, where you can literally get lucky with 5 to 7 free spins if you land a minimum of three scatters. There is also a bonus pick-me game, where you need to make a choice between the two girls and hopefully end up winning an equally attractive bonus!

Overall, Naughty or Nice III is a fun game to play this festive season, whether for real money or just in practice mode. It features cool graphics and animations, not to mention the eye candy! The bonus features are relatively easy to trigger and the wide betting range allows for both newbie and veteran players to have a jolly time!

Good luck!

Playtech launches Galactic Streak Slot

December 10, 2018 by Admin

As you can probably guess by the title, Playtech invites you on a cosmic journey in the 4×4 reel, 20 payline Galactic streak online video slot.

Explore vast galaxies, complete with planets and sparkling stars, while soothing sounds caress your ears. And along the way you can collect re-spins and multipliers on each and every spin.

Spectacular features

The burning sun symbol is wild, and stands in for all the planet symbols to help you create wins. It also produces the highest payout should you be lucky to land four within the 4×4 structure – a colossal 125x your stake! This symbol also locks into place once it appears, which greatly increases your chances of getting more wins on the next spin.

Every spin reveals Stellar Multipliers, so you can earn yourself multiplier values whenever you hit a win during the base game. The symbols involved in the winning combination will have a x2 multiplier value attached to it. The multiplier value will continue for the duration of three spins, and can potentially increase to x10 if you are lucky enough to land winning symbols consecutively on the same payline.

The pink & white galaxy scatter triggers the Galactic Free Games feature when a minimum of 3 show up on the reels. Once activated, you will receive 10 Free Spins and the multiplier values that you stored up during the base game comes into play here too to unlock even more astronomical wins.

Betting range

You have an array of convenient betting options even though the slot is limited to 20 fixed paylines. You can choose between eight different line bet denominations, ranging from $0.01 up to $2.00. This translates to a minimum bet of $0.20 per spin, and a maximum bet of $40.00 per spin.

Summary

Galactic Streak is a vibrant slot with easy gameplay and fantastic features. It is available on desktop, mobile and tablet devices and comes with an RTP of 96.21%
