Treasure and Gold-Inspired New Slot Games Debut This May
May, it seems, is the month for treasure and gold-themed new slot titles to debut. We’ve already seen a trio of these slot games launch at online casinos, and there is the promise of more to come. As always Gamesbelt explores the newest options for you and reveals everything you need to know about them before you head to our trusted casinos to play the games today.
Midas: King of Gold New Slot Game Launches
First up this month is Blueprint Gaming’s Midas: King of Gold. The new slot debuted at selected casinos on April 30th but is now available to play globally. Reminiscent of the Midas: Golden Touch slot, this is what’s known as a Scatter Pays slot release. We’re not that impressed with the RTP rate of 94%, but the highly volatile game does offer a top prize worth 10,000x.
The basic idea here is that every symbol counts as a scatter, and that should result in decent wins. Other features include a cascading mechanic, a randomly triggered Midas Touch mode that triggers a mini reel with cash prizes, free spins or a multiplier, and two proper free spin features, complete with multipliers of up to 500x.
NetEnt Explores Pandora’s Treasure
May 2nd saw the release of another new game. NetEnt is revisiting a genre it hasn’t been active in for a long time. Pandora’s Treasure takes the myth of “what was in Pandora’s box?” and runs with it. The six-reel game can feature as many as 4,096 ways to win, has a top prize worth over 10,000x and is medium variance.
Stakes are as cheap as 10p a pop here, with the game boasting a collection mechanic, free spins, cloned symbols, locked symbols, and, for those based outside the UK, a bonus buy mechanic. Pandora is a theme that few other slots seem to want to touch, so it’s nice to see a software provider do something a little different here.
Fill Your Holds with Swag in Pirate: Multi Coins
Finally, we should touch on Pirate: Multi Coins. This Fantasma Games release debuted on May 1st and is now available to play at all good Games Global-powered casinos. It, too, utilises the Scatter Pays engine which has been gaining in popularity lately and has an RTP of 96.08%. Medium variance action can be expected in this release, which sees an avalanche mechanic, coin multipliers, randomly triggered goodies, golden chests, free spins, and a buy-a-bonus mechanic woven into its design.
The highlight of this release is the coin system, which can yield multiplier values that are then applied to your win counter. We’ve seen plenty of pirate-themed slots over the years, but this one certainly stands out as being different from the rest because of its features.
