February is ending and the month of March is on the horizon. Many of us will be hoping for the chills of winter to disappear into the past and the spring months to come shining through with some clearer weather. That’s not all though, because the likelihood is that all slot fans will be looking to the new month of March for some new games to play.
And because the best developers are consistently busy crafting new and exciting releases, there will be some new slots for you to enjoy. Here is a look at some of the best video slot releases coming up in March.
Frog Blox (Elk Studios)
One of the very first online slots to be released as March hits is the Frog Blox game from Elk Studios. This game unites the idea of ancient civilisations with a frog theme and puts it all into a grid consisting of six reels and six rows. There is also an extra reel set above this one, featuring another two rows.
Elk Studios has, as always, included its top-quality graphics and animations in Frog Blox, which is visible from the start. All rounds in base gameplay mode start with six rows and a varying number of ways to win. Those winning ways all depend on the number and placement of blocker symbols on the main grid.
You can place a minimum wager of £/$/€0.20 per spin in Frog Blox, while a maximum of £/$/€100 is possible. Standard playing card symbols are active on the grid as lower-paying inclusions, while gemstones and jewellery make up the higher-paying additions.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – Up to 46,656
- RTP – 94%
- Max Payout – 25,000x
- Volatility – High
Every time you form a win in this slot, the avalanche feature hits, meaning you can experience multiple wins in a single round. Frog symbols appearing on the base grid will collect features from the bottom row of the secondary reelset (feature shelf). Blockers will be removed if no feature can be collected. These features include multipliers, extra drops, both ways wins, bombs to explode all blocker symbols from the feature shelf and big symbols.
Frogs can also pull down another frog from there, which can explode and become wild. Any frog not pulling down a feature can jump to a lily pad, replacing that position with a random symbol. Removing all blockers from the base game will trigger 6 free drops.
Aarupolis (Tom Horn Gaming)
What do you get when you combine ancient Egyptian relics and gods with modern day mechanics and robotics? You get the wonders of Aarupolis, that’s what! This Tom Horn Gaming release seamlessly blends the two themes, presenting a futuristic look at a returning Egyptian land ruled over by mechanical gods. It’s a fascinating game as soon as you start playing it, featuring a grid of six reels and six rows.
Payouts occur whenever 8 or more identical symbols land on the screen. Lower-paying symbols are represented by neon Egyptian hieroglyphics, while higher-paying inclusions come in the shape of mechanical gods and pharaohs.
Playing this slot will provide you with the chance to win up to 1,085.3x your bet and it features an RTP rate of 95.2%. Not only that, but there is a Quick X function, which triples your chance to trigger free spins (1.5x bet), spin with a random wild symbol (15x bet) or instantly access free spins (100x bet).
- Paylines/Ways to Win – Scatter Wins
- RTP – 95.2%
- Max Payout – 1,085.3x
- Volatility – Medium-High
The symbol of Ra serves as the slot’s wild inclusion, and whenever he appears, he will substitute for other base symbols to help form wins. When more wilds land on neighbouring reels, each of them form a big symbol that expands vertically. Any wins you form will shatter in the Blast X feature, allowing new symbols to appear and potentially form new wins.
Blast X can trigger 10 times consecutively at maximum, and it comes with an increasing multiplier. Should 4 pyramid symbols show up anywhere, the free spins round activates. This sees 8 free spins played through and unlimited Blast X rounds.
Midnight Thirst (Max Win Gaming)
Midnight Thirst can only mean one thing – vampires. That’s precisely what this Max Win Gaming release focuses on, and it does it compellingly, too. Then again, when you’re powered by Red Tiger, how can you not do so? Five reels and four rows exist in the slot, while a set of 1,024 ways to win are also included.
Playing card symbols are active as lower-paying inclusions in Midnight Thirst, yet the higher-paying additions are the nighttime creatures themselves, as well as their pets in a cat and a bat. Wagers of between £/$/€0.10 and £/$/€2,000 per spin are possible, and you stand the chance of winning up to 10,000x your stake.
The soundtrack provided in Midnight Thirst is very entertaining, bringing an almost comedic tone to the darkness. Features do exist in the game as well, but you can buy your way into one of them, should you prefer.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 1,024
- RTP – 96%
- Max Payout – 10,000x
- Volatility – High
Whenever you form a win in this Max Win Gaming slot, the symbols disappear and create space for new ones. Thus, you can achieve multiple wins from just a single spin.
Consecutive dead spins (non-winning rounds) fill the progress bar at the top of the reels and increase the multiplier, too. This resets when a win hits. If you end up suffering nine consecutive dead spins, then you receive 9 free spins as a reward. This is the round that you can buy into by paying 80x your standard bet.
Dawn of Kings (Hacksaw Gaming)
Hacksaw Gaming is also taking players to the realm of Ancient Egypt in March with the Dawn of Kings online slot. This sees a very Lara Croft-like figure try to uncover the mysteries of the land, searching through a tomb to see what relics she can dig up. Dawn of Kings features a set of five reels and three rows for you to spin.
The adventurer herself watches on from the right of the reels, ensuring you do your job right. All game modes offer a maximum payout of 10,000x your stake, and you can win on a set of 13 paylines stretched out across the layout. Various Egyptian gods appear as symbols on the reels, as does a scarab beetle, the female explorer, and playing card symbols.
During gameplay, you’re able to adjust your wager as you like. Dawn of Kings features a range of between £/$/€0.10 and £/$/€100 per spin for you to choose from. There is also an autoplay function to utilise, should you prefer this.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 13
- RTP – 96.24%
- Max Payout – 10,000x
- Volatility – High
The book symbol that can show up on the reels of the slot serves as its wild addition. It also operates as a scatter at the same time. Landing three of these anywhere activates the Book of Dawn bonus. Four scatters trigger the Triple Book of Dawn bonus, while five trigger the Triple Book of Dawn and awards 1,000x your stake as a cash prize.
The Book of Dawn round is present in the form of 10 free spins and prior to it starting, a single symbol is chosen as a special expanding symbol in the round. The Triple Book of Dawn round includes 12 free spins and three special expanding symbols throughout. You can also activate “Best of…” versions of both those rounds by spinning scatters into view alongside the Best of Bonus symbol.
Americash 10K Ways (Reel Play)
Reel Play returns once more with another 10K ways game; this time in the shape of Americash. The slot provides you with a look into everything American and celebratory. Thus, you’ll see a box of fireworks, a bald eagle decked out in red, white and blue, a drum, and of course, the American top hat. These symbols show up on a six-reel, four-row layout, with an extra reel running horizontally at the top of the game.
Players can place wagers of between £/$/€0.20 and £/$/€25 per spin, and stand the chance of winning up to 9,141x their stake. It includes Reel Play’s usual blend of impressive graphics and animations as well, ensuring a visual treat for anyone who chooses to play Americash 10K Ways.
Of course, as the game’s title suggests, there are 10,000 ways for you to win across the six reels. It’s also a high variance slot, so keep this in mind when determining your preferred wager per spin.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 10,000
- RTP – 96.02%
- Max Payout – 9,141x
- Volatility – High
The symbol of Uncle Sam provides the slot with its wild symbol. If he shows up anywhere, he will substitute for all other symbols, except for the scatter. Wilds only come into view on the horizontal reel running along the top.
Speaking of the scatter, it is the stash of money behind the red curtains that represents this one. It is two rows high and it must appear in full to be counted towards the slot’s free spins trigger. It takes three or more of the full-size scatters showing up to activate this round. You get three free spins and there is a starting win multiplier of 1x, which increases following every explosion. When a new scatter appears, the free spin counter resets to three.
