Red Rake Gaming has been moving at a breakneck speed this year, releasing new pokies on a regular basis. The newest title from the developer, Secrets of the Temple has just gone live at all casinos powered by the brand and looks set to become a fan favourite.

The new pokie has a simple concept; you travel with an intrepid archaeologist through mysterious jungles to locate an ancient temple where you will discover hidden treasures. Red Rake Gaming has taken this simple concept and elevated it with brilliant execution.

Secrets of the Temple is rich in highly detailed HD graphics, the mysterious stone temples seem almost lifelike thanks to the meticulously created artwork and the eye-catching icons vividly tell a story of an adventure.

Gear up and venture forth

Secrets of the Temple is a 5×3 reel pokie, with 243 Ways to win. The game’s symbols include a plane, a climbing axe wedged into stone, a compass, and the game’s archaeologist character. The wild is a monolithic golden statue and the scatter is an ominous jungle temple. The low symbols are traditional 10, J, Q, K, and A icons.

Expect stacked Wilds and multipliers to add an exhilarating pace to the gameplay as they appear regularly. The stacked wilds benefit from a nudge feature, with the whole stack being pushed into view if it misses landing completely on the reels by one notch. This feature can transform a dud spin into a winning combo instantly.

The real prize, however, lies in the pokie’s special bonus rounds.

Pick, win, repeat

If you land 3 Scatters on the reels, you will be transported to a bonus mini-game. Mini, Minor, Major, and Maxi jackpots are displayed to the right of the reels, just waiting for you to snatch them up. A screen of golden coins appears and you will need to select them to reveal their values. Each coin conceals a jackpot and you will have to match 3 of the same coins to win the jackpot value.

Secrets of the Temple is live now for brave explorers and can be enjoyed across all platforms, including mobile.

Nolimit City has revealed what may prove to be one of the best looking pokies yet, Harlequin Carnival. The pokie’s theme depicts the famous Venetian masked balls, or masquerade balls,  where guests are required to attend with their faces covered. The masks themselves were often dazzling artistic pieces with some even eventually being displayed in art galleries.

This breathtaking spectacle has been meticulously duplicated for Harlequin Carnival in astounding style, which works equally well on desktop or mobile format.

 A visual delight

The pokie’s background is a dusky Venetian scene of a lamp-lit stone arch. Mysterious masked party guests represent the high symbols, supported by intricately detailed, gold-patterned traditional playing card icons as the low symbols.

Looks aside, does Harlequin City’s gameplay live up to its image? This title integrates the Nudge system, which ensures that the stacked wild, represented as an exquisite Jester, always nudges up or down, forcing the whole image into view. Each nudge brings with it a 1x multiplier which can greatly increase the payout for any spin. The appearance of multiple stacked Wilds on the reels in a single spin, combined with nudges can cause the multiplier to soar to insane heights.

An abundance of respins

The features described so far are only a taste of things to come. The Jester Wilds, in addition to triggering multipliers, also trigger respins. Once a stacked Wild appears on the reels, it shifts from reel to reel, eventually exiting to left. Each moves it makes, triggers a respin. This coupled with the added multipliers creates a potentially huge win.

Finally, there is the bonus symbol, shown as a Jester’s face, which triggers 8 Free Spins if matched at least 3 times. While the free spins feature is active, a stacked Wild is added to the right-most reel, bundled with a 3x multiplier.

Harlequin Carnival is available to play now, already garnering a following among players who are drawn to feature-resplendent pokies.
