It’s that time again when the one-stop-shop for slot obsessives does a roundup of the best slots. Doing it differently this time, this one is a bi-monthly list, bringing you the slots that managed to turn heads in July and August 2020. And this is perhaps the most contentious period for the listing so far, as so many decent slots were released. Were it not for your review section game ratings, combined with our great brilliance in iGaming matters, putting this one together could have been a super-perplexing affair.
We kick things off with jackpots, where Playtech-owned studio, Origin gives Age of the Gods™ a fresh spin in Norse- Gods & Giants. Give it all you got here to enter the jackpot screen, where life-changing wins exceeding €1M await. Rarestone Gaming, another Playtech subsidiary, then adds one more installment to Fire Blaze Jackpots™ to bring you Adventure Trail. As implied by the title, this one’s a trek into the jungle, where you could re-emerge with one of four jackpot prizes. Finally, there’s more jackpot fun to be had with NetEnt’s escapade to a leprechaun’s territory in Irish Pot Luck. On offer here is the usual trio of fixed jackpots capped at a not-so-bad 5000X.
Putting the jackpots aside for a moment, we focus our attention elsewhere, where NetEnt partner, Red Tiger reunites players with good old Gonzo in Gonzo’s Quest Megaways™. The appeal here is in the bumped-up graphics and boosted win lines that make epic wins a possibility. On the same trend of revamping older slots, Playtech goes back to one of their flagship titles to bring you Buffalo Blitz II. This one also receives a win ways-boost to bump up its potential to incalculable figures.
Moving on, simplicity-torchbearers, iSoftBet head down to the Gambling Capital of the World in Macau High Roller. Here, players could risk it all with the High Roller Bet feature and smile to the bank. Meanwhile, Push Gaming joins hands with Relax to please the history buffs with Mystery Museum. Not so many features lined up here, but a strong table flaunting up to 500X on a single line helps even things out.
Branded slots specialists Play’n Go also piles in on the action with Saxon. It a raucous tribute to the pioneering band doubled with mind-boggling rewards to literally blow players’ hair back. After all the moshing in that one, we look to catch some air in Quickspin’s Artemis VS. Medusa. Artemis takes on the fiercest of beasts in Greek Mythology singlehandedly as you chillax awaiting your cut of the bounty.
Would a best-slots-listing ever be complete without slot geniuses, Pragmatic Play, contributing? Most certainly not! As usual, they make an impression on the audience by helping a dragon reminiscent of Activision’s Spyro make his slotsverse debut in Drago- Jewels of Fortune. Match him and his fellow flying lizard friends on the corners of the grid to see them spew breathtaking wins. Lastly, Red Tiger retells one of the greatest love stories in Ali Baba’s Luck. Morgiana and Ali Baba save the day here, making wins of up to 7000X on a single spin possible.
