2023, what's coming? New Slots in the Pipeline!
2022 has been a fantastic year of new online casino content, but with the year nearly done and dusted, it is now time to look ahead to what is coming our way in 2023.
2022 has brought us over 1300 new casino games we can all now enjoy at online casinos. In 2023, we can expect at least the same and probably quite a few more. That is surely a cause for excitement, as we already know that the quality of video slots is consistently improving year after year.
The good news is that we already know about some of the new titles coming our way. Below are five of the best new video slots that we know will hit online casinos in the coming months!
Pinatas & Ponies (Red Tiger Gaming)
One of the first new slots coming our way comes courtesy of Red Tiger Gaming. Pinatas and Ponies is a high variance, 6-reel, and 6-row video slot that utilizes a scatter pays mechanic for determining payouts. That means as long as there are 10+ identical symbols anywhere on the grid, you receive a payout. As for bonus features, you can expect multipliers, free spins, and a buy bonus feature.
- RTP: 95.72%
- Variance: High
- Max Win: 2,172x
Lucky Fishing Megaways (Pragmatic Play)
Another title expected early in 2023 is Pragmatic Play’s Lucky Fishing Megaways. You might know that this iGaming development is famed for creating high-quality fishing-themed titles via its Big Bass series of slot releases. This time the action takes place on a 6+1 Megaways grid. The +1 is a horizontal reel above the reels. That reel format creates the chance of spinning in up to 117,649 ways-to-win.
The features on this high variance slot will include a tumble feature, free spins with multipliers, a risk game, and a buy bonus feature.
- RTP: 96.55%
- Variance: High
- Max Win: 5,000x
Cash-A-Cabana (Play’n Go)
Using an obvious but clever play of words on Copacabana, this money-themed slot takes you to New York back in the swinging 40s. Cash-A-Cabana from Play’n Go is expected at some point in January 2023, and the early signs are it will encompass the iGaming developers' standard high-quality graphics and gameplay.
This slot will offer 5-reels, 3-rows, 20-fixed paylines, and medium to high volatility. Wilds can land and expand to fill the entire reel and will multiply wins by 2x. The key feature, as always, is a free spins round that, this time, has a global multiplier and the chance to trigger 2 additional spins each time the ‘Host’ symbol lands on the reels.
- RTP: 96.2%
- Variance: Medium to High
- Max Win: 10,000x
Scatter Monsters (Quickspin)
Most slots fans sit up and take notice whenever the 2022 IGA Awards ‘Slots Provider of the Year’ does what it does best by releasing a new title. Well, Scatter Monsters from Quickspin looks like it could be another enormous success for the iGaming developer. It has a devilish theme that contains monsters such as vampires, zombies, and demons - although this is all done in cartoon style.
This title is another that uses a scatter pays mechanic that involves landing matching symbols anywhere in view to create wins. Those winning symbols disappear, and new ones drop into place, ensuring you the chance at winning further payouts. The standout feature of this slot is a Soul Meter. As you collect souls, it fills up and once full, you will earn modifiers such as symbol upgrades, free spins, and symbol removal.
- RTP: 96.08%
- Variance: Medium
- Max Win: 1,493x
Mammoth Gold Megaways (Pragmatic Play)
Pragmatic Play is the only developer to make this list twice. Is that much of a surprise when you consider the developer regularly churns out at least 5 new slots each month? Mammoth Gold Megaways is another title expected in January 2023 and plays similarly to the firm’s Muertos Multiplier Megaways, a slot that became a big hit in 2022,
It features 6+1 reels, that can each hold a random number of symbols. Therefore, the win-ways you receive change from spin to spin and can be as many as 117,649. Like the previous title mentioned, Mammoth Gold Megaways has features including wild multipliers, free spins with a multiplier that does not reset, and a buy bonus.
- RTP: 96.03%
- Variance: High
- Max Win: 10,000x
Looking forward to 2023?
Those are just some of the new slot titles we already know will come your way in the early part of 2023. That means you do not have too long to wait until you have some epic new slots to enjoy. Will they equal or better some releases in 2022? Only time will tell! We have a feeling they will represent a strong start to yet another year of slot gaming.
