We are heading into the middle part of summer and for many people that means good weather and holidays. Slot gamers will be looking forward to relaxing with some great games in and around their summer breaks, and this month we have a range of newly released slots to look at.
These include a double release from Pragmatic Play and a Robin Hood themed slot from Yggdrasil, amongst others.
Here is a look at some of the best new slot releases for July 2021.
Double Release from Pragmatic Play
We have not one but two games coming from Pragmatic Play in July, and they both offer a completely different gaming style, so it depends on what you are looking for from your gaming. The first game, to begin with, is Empty the Bank, which offers regular gaming reels but is packed full of bonus features for you to enjoy.
The theme of this slot is robbing a bank, and while playing the game you can see the bank robber on screen that you are essentially playing as. The game gives you the chance to rob the bank and empty it of funds by landing the 10,000x jackpot that is on offer here. With five reels and 25 pay lines, there is nothing too complex about the gaming on offer here, although when it comes to bonus features, things are certainly ramped up.
The 96.48% RTP of the game gives a solid pay out, and the big jackpot on offer makes this a highly volatile slot game to play, so bear that in mind.
In terms of bonus features, there is a wild symbol, which is the bank robber himself, and this replaces any other symbol to try and create winning lines. The most important symbol on the game is the bonus symbol, this has a gold-coloured bonus tag on it, and the picture is a vault door, so you won’t miss this one. The symbol only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, so look out for it here and to get into the feature, you will need this symbol on all three reels.
The main bonus feature is a respin feature, and this game takes place on a completely different board. You have 7×7 reels, but only 5×4 are active when you begin the feature, you have the chance to grow the board as you play.
Initially, you will receive three rounds, but if you land on the bonus symbol again, this will reset and give you another three. Money symbols are most likely to appear here, these pay anything between 1x and 10x your stake. However, you may also see other symbols, and these are where the big wins lie.
The safe door is the symbol you want, get three of these and you will win the 10,000x jackpot immediately in the game. Elsewhere, the walkie talkie and computer symbols both boost the value of the money symbols to give you bigger wins. The ladder symbol opens up rows six and seven, while the drill opens reel one and the hammer opens reel seven. The final symbol worth looking for is the alarm, this boosts your respins to four.
If you are looking for an action-packed game, with a few nice features and a very detailed and in-depth bonus game as part of the package then Empty the Bank could be the game for you. The initial gaming board may seem relatively simple, but this game grows as it develops, and don’t forget about the big 10,000x jackpot on offer.
Pragmatic Play Releases New Cluster Pays Game Chicken Drop
If you are looking to experience something completely different, or if you have played a cluster pays slot before and loved it then the Pragmatic Play release that you may be interested in is certainly Chicken Drop. This game offers cluster pays, so you are aiming to get symbols together in clusters, rather than in lines across the gaming board.
It is different, brings something to watch out for to those who are perhaps a little bored of regular casino gaming and this game appears to be a great example of a cluster pays game. The RTP on the game ranges from 94.53% up to 96.50% depending on the state of the board, which has a 7×7 look to it, meaning that 49 symbols are on show at any one time, as you aim for the 5,000x jackpot.
Not only does the game have cluster pays in place, but you will also notice that the reels are cascading. This means after you have a winner, the winning symbols are removed from the board and replaced by others, giving you another chance to win on the same spin if you can match any up in the new positions.
Look out for the mystery egg symbol, which can cover multiple spots on the board, and could grow all the way to cover the entire 7×7 gaming board. This has a multiplier attached to it, and this grows with the size of the mystery egg coverage, offering a way to pick up some bigger wins.
Lastly, the treasure chest bonus symbol will put you into the free spins game. These can land on six reels and you need to hit three to get into the game. During this, the mystery egg symbol is more frequently available, which adds the multiplier and makes your winning spins even bigger.
If you are looking for a brand-new type of slot gaming, or you have played cluster pays before and loved it, look out for the release of Chicken Drop in July.
Yggdrasil Brings Robin Hood Themed Game to the Market
This month we have a very specific themed game coming from Yggdrasil, the game will feature a theme based on the story of Robin Hood. The slot is to be released in July and is titled Robin Nottingham Raiders. Anyone who knows the story of this man will know that he lived in the woods of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham which is where the name comes from.
The first thing they mention about this slot game is the huge jackpot win on offer, which is 121,500x your stake, so even if you are only playing small stakes here and you win the jackpot, you are in for a big payday.
The game has a solid RTP of 96.10% too, which is good to see and the gaming board has 5×4 reels and a total of 20 pay lines for you to play, so not too big and confusing. Onto the symbols and there are two different types of wild to look out for on this game and make sure you understand what both of them offer.
Firstly, silver coins, which are standard wilds and can be used to substitute other symbols to make winning lines. Secondly, gold coins, which are used in the same way but on top of this, you collect these gold coins and add them up as you play. Look for the wilds meter and if you get nine gold coins, this will be full, which then triggers a respin for you and the chance to land a nice win.
Get three scatters to go into free spin mode, where you are given 15 free spins to play with. There is the chance to collect more gold wilds here, and for every three you get, you will receive three more free spins. These are also multipliers too, with up to a 3x multiplier available if you get four of them. When collected, the symbols will move around the board as roaming wilds as you spin and try to use them to make new winning combos.
This slot appears as though it will attract a lot of players when released. The theme is a popular one, with many people knowing of the story and being intrigued by it. As for the game itself, this is very strong, while the jackpot win on offer is big enough that regular gamers are going to love it and even jackpot hunters may find themselves playing this game to try and win it.
Whether it’s the theme of the game, the size of the jackpot or something else about this that attracts you to it, Robin Nottingham Raiders looks to be a great addition to the world of slot gaming in July.
