What To Expect From Slots In 2021 

A new year is upon us and with the introduction of 2021 comes an entire host of new slots waiting to be released throughout the year. Just like the movie industry, slots have a studio system that each year works on a series of titles that they hope will be bigger and better than what came before. 

The big studios usually release the most anticipated games of the year and these major releases have the biggest budgets. But although releases from the likes of Playtech, NetEnt, and Microgaming may dominate, there are now a fair few slots studios that can regularly compete with the big boys – play now.

From the early awards ceremonies such as the Global Gaming Awards hosted in London already this year, it is clear to see that other studios, other than the ones at the top, are being recognized by the industry. Red Tiger gaming won Casino Product Of the Year and the Red Tiger CEO won Chief Executive Of The Year. 

Red Tiger Gaming A Closer Look 

Red Tiger Gaming was actually acquired by NetEnt in a cash deal that is reported to be in the value of £220 million. Established in 2014, Red Tiger still produces games despite being bought out.  NetEnt can now use Red Tiger’s Megaways license that they obtained from Big Time Gaming, to revamp NetEnt classics by adding the Megaways element to them and later this year Gonzo’s Quest Megaways will be released. Gonzo’s Guest is one of NetEnt’s best performing slots and the very first game to feature cascading reels. The Megaways version has similar symbols to the original but there are more reels and more winning lines. The winning lines change with each spin and this is because anything from just 2 to 7 symbols can land on each reel. There is also a random Earthquake feature that makes all low paying symbols explode, and these are replaced by high paying ones. Free spins come with an x3, x6, x9, and x 15 multiplier. 

Other Megaways Slots 

2021 looks like being the year of the Megaways slots. They were already popular before, but high profile releases such as Gonzo’s Quest Megaways looks like it will cement their popularity. You can also add to the mix the release of Ted Megaways, Fishin Frenzy Megaways and Great Rhino Megaways. Ted Megaways is particularly highly anticipated and the extra reels and winning lines are bound to be popular with punters. 

More Games To Consider 

Look out for new additions to the Ancient Egyptian themed slots with Pragmatic Play’s Pyramid King, This game contains ancient scrolls that act as scatter symbols and if 3 or more land on the reels, 10 free spins are awarded. Before the spins get underway, a symbol is chosen at random to act as the expanding symbol. 

NetEnt released Gorilla Kingdom and this slot promises to have a fun free spins bonus round. The jungle themed game places the action against the backdrop of a waterfall.  Diamonds trigger the free rounds and 5 of them can bag you 20 free spins.
