Bigfoot Fortunes (Rival Gaming)
We’ve all heard the tales of Bigfoot before, haven’t we? That huge human-like creature that stalks the forests and valleys to terrorise people who may stray off their course. Well, you may get to meet him in this Rival Gaming release entitled Bigfoot Fortunes. Taking place on a six-reel, four-row interface and featuring 4,096 ways to win, it’s certain to capture your attention.
The game features a stunning set of graphics too, with everything taking place in a wooded area as the sun sets to bring on night. Symbols upon the reels include a campfire, a full moon, a camera and some binoculars, giving the idea that whoever is there is out hunting Bigfoot.
Rival has also added a compelling soundtrack to the slot, which adds to the overall atmosphere while playing. You’ll also have the chance to trigger one or two special features during gameplay, making it even more of an inviting slot.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 4,096
- RTP – 94.10%
- Max Payout – 100x
- Volatility – Low
While the base game in Bigfoot Fortunes is impressive in itself, the special features make it much more inviting. The titular character appearing in symbol form represents the slot’s wild addition. This means that it will substitute for all base symbols to help you with creating winning combinations. It also comes with a multiplier, which is 2x in base gameplay, but can go up to 5x in free spins. Speaking of which, you can trigger that round with the appearance of three or more footprint scatter symbols.
Up to 15 of these spins are available in the slot. You can also trigger a bonus game with three or more bonus symbols appearing. This enters you into the Wild Encounters Pick and Click feature, where you can win up to 80x your bet.
The Goonies Megaways (Blueprint Gaming)
It was in 2018 that Blueprint Gaming released its online slot entitled The Goonies, based on the movie of the same name. A few follow-ups have come out since then, and now comes another in the shape of The Goonies Megaways. Incorporating the popular mechanic from Big Time Gaming, this slot features a 95% RTP rate and a medium to high volatility level.
Returning to the world of Mikey, Chunk, Data, Mouth (and not forgetting Sloth, of course), this game presents a wonderful slot to play. It has six reels in play, and every spin can feature up to 15,625 ways to win. You’ll see all of the top characters from the film on the reels as symbols, while four jackpots are also available to win.
You can place bets of between £/$/€0.10 and £/$/€25 per spin in the game. There is also an adventurous soundtrack incorporated into it, which pairs perfectly with the wonderful graphics from Blueprint.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 15,625

During every spin, cash symbols are also active on all reels, which will be collected and the Cash Collect scatter on reel six at the same time triggers the Cash Collect Feature.
There is also a chance that on any spin, Sloth can appear and activate a modifier. Three or more bonus scatter symbols will activate the bonus round of 10 free spins or 1 Treasure Blitz Super Spin.
Mystery Genie: Fortunes of the Lamp (Play’n Go)
If you rub the magic lamp, then a genie will come out of it and grant you three wishes. And while it’s common to expect a male genie to form in front of you, this online slot from Play’n Go features a female genie instead. She’s got a lot to provide to you within this slot, too.
It’s clear to see that it bases itself on the theme of Aladdin and his adventures. Characters from the story appear as symbols on the game’s five reels. You can wager up to £/$/€100 per spin, while wins can form across 20 active paylines. Mystery Genie: Fortunes of the Lamp includes an autoplay function that you can utilise, too.
As is common with Play’n Go online slot releases, this game has a ranging RTP rate, which can go as low as 84.20% and as high as 96.20%. Just be sure you’re betting an amount appropriate for your bankroll, as it is also a high volatility release.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 20
- RTP – 96.20%
- Max Payout – 6,000x
- Volatility – High
A game that focuses on a genie and magic ought to have some intriguing special features included for you to trigger. Fortunately, Play’n Go is well-versed in such, and has included some in the game. Mystery symbols can show up on the reels to provide more of one specific symbol. The scatter symbol can land on any reel too, with three or more triggering eight free spins.
The female genie is the slot’s wild symbol, and she will substitute for all other basic symbols to help form a winning combination. A Sand Re-Spin round exists in Mystery Genie: Fortunes of the Lamp, too. The symbol for this can be revealed behind a Mystery Symbol.
Aztec Powernudge (Pragmatic Play)
The ancient Aztec civilisation has been used as a base theme in many online slots. Aztec Powernudge from Pragmatic Play is one of the latest to add to that selection. Of course, if you know this developer, you’ll know how impressive it is with its game releases. That much remains clear in this online slot release, which includes a fantastic backdrop. This incorporates gemstones on the ground outside an ancient temple. Upon the reels, you’ll see more gemstones come into play as symbols to win with. Aztec Powernudge provides payouts with a pay anywhere setup in place.
While playing this online slot, you can place bets of between £/$/€0.20 and £/$/€240 per spin. It’s important to know about the RTP rate of such games too, with Aztec Powernudge incorporating a level of 96.46%.

While you explore the Aztec kingdom on the screen, you may also come across some inviting specialties. The symbol of the diamond is the multiplier inclusion.
