HOT FEATURES OF NEW CASINO GAMES

If you play slot or casino games regularly, you may have noticed that some developers are rolling out new features. These innovations often make the slot more rewarding and certainly more exciting to boot. We’re here to tell you all about our favourite features in these new casino games.

AVALANCHE REELS

First debuted in the ever popular Gonzo’s Quest, this feature has become a staple in many games. The idea of the feature is that any symbols that are involved in a winning combination will disappear, allowing new ones to take their place.

This means that players have the chance to win again without making an additional wager. In games like Jungle Jim, there’s also a multiplier attached to consecutive wins, the more times this feature triggers, the more the symbols are worth.

RESPINS

Traditionally, scatter symbols were responsible for dishing out the free spins. Moving away from these, some new casino games rely more on respins instead. Take Starburst by NetEnt as an example, the respin feature is activated any time an expanding wild appears on the reels. This is much more achievable than getting three scatters in one spin, so players are statistically more likely to be able to experience this feature.

SPIN THE WHEEL BONUSES

Games like Koi Princess and Mega Moolah rely on spin the wheel bonuses to reward their players. On these wheels, you’ll find all sorts of bonus features, cash prizes and mystery surprises. This allows players to access a multitude of bonuses from one feature, which is a pretty cool way to unlock them.

These bonuses may be the only way to unlock bonuses or they can even be a supplemental bonus feature, depending on the game.

MORE REELS OR NO REELS

We’re seeing a massive shift away from the traditional three reel model that was popular with fruit machines initially. Five reel slots are probably the most common on the internet, but in newer games developers are switching this up even further. Massive grids of reels are appearing in games like Gemix and some games like Hansel and Gretel don’t have reels at all.

Playing on the same old fruit machines gets boring quickly, so the innovation in these new casino games is fantastic. We love that you can play slots of all shapes and sizes on the internet.

GAMBLE FEATURES

After you’ve won a hand on a table game or round in a slot, some games offer you the opportunity to go double or nothing. Usually these features rely on a simple, randomised coin toss or a card drawn from a deck. While it’s essential to use these features carefully, they can be great added options to boost what you can win from a game.
