With the release of their quarterly results in October and two high-profile acquisitions (Netent and Evolution), the major iGaming businesses have had a busy few weeks. There is a plethora of new online slot games in the works, so things are looking up on the development front as well. In light of this, I’ve compiled a list of the most anticipated video games that will be released in the last quarter of 2020.
Despite the impending purchase of NetEnt Evolution, NetEnt has not slowed their phenomenal rate of production. Absolutely none of it. Five new slot games from the Swedish studio will be released that month. On November 12 and 24, respectively, two of them—Divine Fortune and Twin Spin—will be released after having been reworked to use the renowned Megaways engine. Then there’s The Trillionaire, a branded five-reeler created in partnership with Fashion TV, and the casino/slot hybrid Roulette MAX. However, Gonzo’s Quest VR stands out as the best of the lot. The virtual reality-enabled slot machine is scheduled for release on the 25th and will be Net Ent’s first of many.
Wazdan
Wazdan has a solid library of slot games under its belt, even if it isn’t nearly as extensive as NetEnt’s. Slots like “Lucky Reels,” “Power of Gods: Egypt,” and “Larry the Leprechaun” are highlights. Midway through the month of December, Wazdan will release Captain Flynt, an animated five-reel slot game.
Tiger, Red
When it comes to making popular casino games, Red Tiger is another studio that never stops innovating. The firm often collaborates with NetEnt, and they have four slots that are (nearly) ready to release. On November 11 you may play the first, 100001 Nights, which has a maximum win multiplier of x10347, four additional features, and a unique free spin round. The first reception has been rather favorable. Next up comes Jingle Bells Power Reels, a high-volatility follow-up to Red Tiger’s holiday-themed slot using the Power Reels mechanism.
Yggdrasil
Recently, Yggdrasil made headlines because to their massive distribution contract with OptiBet. It appears that the developer has been busy behind the scenes as well, with four titles (Reel Desire, Frost Queen Jackpots, Syncronite, and Carol of the Elves) set for release between now and February.to”> (November 19) is Yggdrasil’s third game to include the Splitz mechanism. The slot machine has a 6×6 layout and a maximum payoff of $64,000; it has a motif that may be described as a throwback to art deco. Slot machine “Carol of the Elves” (November 26) has a high RTP of 96.2% with a 1-3-5-3-1 layout with significant volatility.
Blueprint
How can I even begin with Blueprint Gaming? This UK-based company will announce fourteen of its fifteen spots in 2020, beginning on November 14 and running through January 6. Here are some of them: Top Cat Most Wanted, Ricky and Morty Bonus Slot, Lion Thunder Spin Boost, Gods of Egypt, King Kong Cash Prize Lines, Danske Spil Megaways, Thai Flower Megaways, and Wonder of Egypt Jackpot King are just a few of the games that offer power spins and multipliers.
Inspired
In the month of November, Inspired will release not one, but three new online slot machines: Santa King Megaways, Secret Scrolls, and King of Charms. The latter is a normal five-reel slot machine with 10 pay-lines, and it will be released on November 9 with a fantasy theme. The next game Secret Scrolls will use the same game engine as its predecessor, but will provide a lower maximum win payout. Inspired’s popular land-based slot game, Reel King, has been updated into Santa King. The presence or absence of the Megaways engine is the only discernible difference between the two.
Get Up and Go!
Play ‘n Go obviously learned something from Blueprint. By the end of January, twelve openings, including eight in 2020, will have been made available. The dates for these are as follows: November 12 for Viking Runecraft Bingo, November 19 for 24K Dragon, November 26 for New Year Riches, December 10 for Frozen Gems, December 17 for Golden Osiris, and December 29 for Piggy Bank Farm. The most impressive of these is undoubtedly Viking Runecraft Bingo because to its polished presentation and robust gameplay.
