Santa’s Factory by GameArt

Enter Santa’s Factory and land winning clusters, charge the meter, and unlock great prizes. Hit super-size symbols, random wilds, or activate the Santa Bonus!  

If you enjoyed GameArt’s Ali Baba Riches slot from earlier in the year with its cascading reels and giant symbols, you’re bound to love Santa’s Factory. Best of all, GameArt’s new slot release has a fun festive feel that’s guaranteed to put you in the mood for Christmas.

Santa’s Factory is a 7×7 online slot featuring cascading reels on every successful spin. As in other cluster win games, you win a prize by matching five or more identical symbols on horizontal or vertical lines. Look out too for some seasonal treats, including random wild gifts and super-sized symbols.

You will fill the Santa’s Box meter every time you hit a winning cluster. You’ll also unlock special features by filling up sections on the meter. These include the Explosion where one to eight symbols turn wild, or Destruction, where all low-paying symbols are removed from the reels for one cascade.

The Santa Bonus will trigger if you manage to fully charge the Santa’s Box meter. First, a 3×3 wild symbol is added to the reels. The wild will shrink to a 2×2, then a 1×1, if there are no further cascades.   

2021 has already been a good year for cluster win slots. With a potential RTP of 97.90% with the Buy Bonus feature, Santa’s Factory looks like being one of the best of them all. Play it for free today.

Candyways Bonanza Megaways 2 by Stakelogic

You’ll love Candyways Bonanza Megaways 2 if you have a sweet tooth or just a taste for lots of multiway action. Play six reels and hit mystery wilds or a fantastic free spins bonus feature.  

The original Candyways Bonanza Megaways slot from Stakelogic is barely a year old. However, the developer is obviously keen to roll out a sequel in the run-up to Christmas.

Where Candyways Bonanza Megaways offered three reels and 512 ways to win, the new slot goes super-size on paylines and bonuses. There are six reels in all, with up to 117,649 ways to win in play. The game uses a cascading reels mechanic, where winning symbols are removed and replaced by the ones appearing above.

Like its predecessor, Candyways Bonanza Megaways 2 doesn’t boast too much in the way of bonus features. However, it’s a case of quality, not quantity where this candy-themed slot is concerned.

Wild symbols can appear on the top reel during the base game. A random symbol is chosen, and all matching symbols on that reel will turn into wilds. You can also hit mystery wilds during the game which can appear anywhere.

Look out for the bonus scatter. These remain locked in place as long as you hit winning cascades. You’ll trigger a free spins bonus if you hit four or more scatters anywhere in view. You have a choice of free spins and multipliers, ranging from ‘Insane’ free spins – eight games and 2x–100x multipliers – to ‘Super’ free spins where you can bag 15 games and 2x–30x multipliers.

There’s always space in our best new online slots of the week round-ups for a new Megaways release. Give Candyways Bonanza Megaways 2 a play for free today.

Diamond Fruits by Big Time Gaming

Hit Megaclusters and free spins with unlimited win multipliers in Diamond Fruits by Big Time Gaming. Could this new BTG release mark a turning point in classic slots for 2021?

Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic has featured in some of our hottest best new online slots of the week in 2021. But Diamond Fruits doesn’t just rely on boring, old Megaways. In Diamond Fruits, you can hit Megaclusters with the chance of hitting a lot of payouts all in one go.

You begin the game on a 5×5 grid. You’ll win a cash payout by matching five or more symbols in horizontal or vertical clusters. Positions may fill with single symbols or larger symbols that are split into four.

Four smaller symbols will replace a winning symbol following a successful spin. Plus, smaller symbols will disappear when they help to form a winning combination. Symbols fall into their place horizontally or vertically to form new combos.

Wild symbols appear in Diamond Fruits but we particularly like the Wild Cannon which activates after three successful symbol reactions. Five to 15 wild symbols are randomly added to the screen to help form new clusters.

You can also trigger a free spins bonus in the game. You’ll win eight free spins when you land eight successive reactions. In addition, you can earn a win multiplier on your reactions. This increases by more than one for every successive reaction.

There’s a lot to take in while you play Diamond Fruits, especially when clusters are constantly splitting into four. Our advice is just to go with the flow and enjoy yet another great BTG slot release. Give it a spin for free at Vegas Slots Online and see what you think.

Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe by Yggdrasil Gaming

We’re in more upgrade territory now with Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe from Yggdrasil Gaming. Enter the jungle and connect Gigablox reels for a chance at an even bigger payout. You can also trigger free spins with multipliers.  

Yggdrasil Gaming unveiled the game-changing Gigablox feature back in 2020. We’re still loving Lucky Neko Gigablox but Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe might challenge it for favoritism in the Vegas Slots Online office.

Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe is an upgrade to an older Yggdrasil slot. The same jungle theme is present, but so are giant symbols reels. On any spin, reels can connect to form a bigger Gigablox reel.

You’ll activate free spins by landing five or more bonus symbols. You win one to three free games for every free spin symbol that triggers the feature. You can also retrigger free spins during the bonus round. In addition, you will find multiplier wilds appearing on the reels during the feature. 2x and 3x wilds are applied to any winning payline they help complete.  

Also, look out for the special Upgrade symbol, which only appears on reel six during free spins. You will upgrade the lowest-paying symbol to the next highest symbol if you collect three Upgrade symbols. Plus, you will win an extra two free spins for every Upgrade symbol you land.

Gator Gold Gigablox Deluxe is definitely not for the faint-hearted. There are rewards in the game for volatility-hunters, especially if you trigger the free spins. Take a bite today and give the game a spin for free.
