If you’re feeling like April has gone by in a flash, then we’re right there with you. It didn’t take long for the time to pass, and May is about to hit.
Fortunately, there are various slots to look forward to this month again, and these come from a variety of developers.
Below, we’ve put together some insight into new slots for May 2023.
You never know, you’re favoured casino could include one or more in its lobby in due course.
Dead Man’s Gold (Elk Studios)
Dead Man’s Gold is due to be released by Elk Studios on May 2nd, and it will take you into the world of pirates. Yet it does it in a way that other games haven’t approached before. There are six reels in place and 4,096 ways to win, with four rows also being present.
Different sizes of symbols can appear on the grid, giving you alternative ways of winning. Symbols come in the shape of playing card inclusions first, and then images of a stingray, an octopus, an anchor and a skull with crossbones. The explorer serves as the highest paying standard symbol.
Dead Man’s Gold works as a high volatility release from Elk Studios, and you can win up to 25,000x your stake during gameplay. This is thanks to the game’s ability to increase the ways to win to a maximum of 262,144. Here are some additional details about the slot.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – Up to 262,144
- RTP – 94%
- Max Payout – 25,000x
- Volatility – High
During gameplay, you may get to experience one or more of the slot’s special features. There is the Treasure Targets, which reveal hidden wild symbols if they are shot by a cannon. Cannonballs will drop in to activate these.
There is also the Bottomless Chest inclusion, which is a blocking symbol that generates and fills empty spaces in the same column with high value, wild and cannonball symbols. Avalanches occur whenever you form wins in Dead Man’s Gold, too.
Ragnar (HITSqwad)
In amongst the masses of big-name brands, HITSqwad aims to bring you one of its own recent releases with Ragnar. This Viking-themed game doesn’t particularly break new ground where that theme is concerned.
After all, there are numerous Viking slots online already. What it does include is a set of jackpots for you to try and win while playing, though. It comes with a standard five-reel, three-row interface, as well as 20 paylines running across its layout. All of the symbols are relevant to the theme, featuring spears, wolves, Viking maidens, and so on.
It’s a medium volatility slot release, and it comes with a maximum win payout of 12,075x your in-play stake. Bets of up to £15 per spin are possible too, giving you a bit of freedom with your wagers.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 20
- RTP – 96%
- Max Payout – 12,075x
- Volatility – Medium
During your time playing the Ragnar slot, you can experience wild symbols as well as scatters. There are two of the latter options, with one awarding First Strike when three appear and the other providing the free spins round. Up to 25 free spins with multipliers of up to 5x for your wins can be triggered from the second scatter.
The First Strike feature allows you to go on a Viking raid, with two stages to go through. Through this round, you stand the chance of winning one of the jackpot totals.
Knight Hot Spotz (Pragmatic Play)
Pragmatic Play is entering into the May game releases with its Knight Hot Spotz game. This slot brings a medieval theme to life on the screen, and you’ll even see a knight (and his pig) watching on from the sidelines. Everything has been designed in a cartoon-like way, which adds to the general entertainment of Knight Hot Spotz.
The game’s layout consists of five reels and four rows, and in the background, you’ll see a lush and thriving medieval landscape. Pragmatic has also made sure that the soundtrack fits in well with the theme, too.
Across the game’s layout, you will be able to form winning combinations on 25 paylines, which are all fixed. Wagers of between £0.25 and £125 per spin are possible in Knight Hot Spotz as well, which serves as a high volatility release from the developer.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 25
- RTP – 96.50%
- Max Payout – 2,000x
- Volatility – High
Running across the reels alongside the standard symbols are wild inclusions. These can substitute in combinations to create wins. Meanwhile, the knight serves as the slot’s scatter symbol, appearing on all five reels.
Hitting six or more of these anywhere will activate the game’s free spins feature. In this round, you’ll receive a single free spins for each scatter in view when triggered. You can also receive multipliers of up to 200x during this feature.
Mega Heist (Relax Gaming)
There’s a heist taking place in this May release from Relax Gaming, which has a maximum possible payout of 15,000x your stake. It looks like the inmates of a prison are trying to make a daring escape from their cells.
The game takes place across five reels and four rows, with the grid centred amongst the different jail cell doors. Symbols on the reels begin with playing card suits of different colours. They are joined by items that one would expect to see in prison, as well as three criminals and a policeman.
Mega Heist features a set of 178 ways to create wins, and it serves as a high volatility slot release from Relax Gaming. Anyone accessing this game can place bets of up to £50 per spin, too.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – 178
- RTP – 96.19%
- Max Payout – 15,000x
- Volatility – High
You can experience the effects of a wild symbol in this slot, while landing two bonus symbols will cause a riot in the prison. Up to four robbers will try to escape, starting the Mega Heist. If you collect a multiplier, then the robber’s win will be boosted.
Collecting one or more bonus symbols triggers the Mega Heist bonus. This sees 10, 15 or 30 robbers go raging on a Mega Heist mission. There are three locations to rob, including the gas station, the club and the bank, of course.
Euphoria Megaways (iSoftBet)
Gemstones appear on the reels of games from many developers. In Euphoria Megaways, iSoftBet adds to that selection of releases, with a variety of gems appearing as symbols on the reels.
It’s a Megaways release, so you can win in up to 117,649 ways during gameplay. Accompanying the gemstone symbols are those of playing card numbers and letters starting from 9 and upwards to A. The underlying theme appears to take you into space, and there is an appropriate soundtrack included in the release, too.
Euphoria Megaways offers six reels for you to win on, and it enables you to win up to 10,000x your bet during gameplay. The Megaways function means that avalanche wins are also active, triggering whenever you create a winning combination across the reels.
- Paylines/Ways to Win – Up to 117,649
- RTP – 96%
- Max Payout – 10,000x
- Volatility – High
The Megaways function of this slot is accompanied by various other features. A wild is active on the reels, and so too is a mystery symbol. This can land anywhere on any spin in multiple locations, and will then transform into any paid symbol.
Three or more bonus symbols on the reels can trigger up to 14 free spins for you to play through. Super free spins can activate if a red bonus symbol appears alongside blue bonus symbols. Star symbols add multipliers to winning payouts. On any random base spin, the Euphoria Spin can activate as well.
