New Slot Games We Should Expect in 2020

In the iGaming industry, summer months are as active as autumn and winter. Developer companies continue to release new games every season and announce the games that can be played in the upcoming season. In other words, a slot player can find a new game to play every month of the year. IGT slots, Netent slots, or Microgaming slots: No matter which developer you like, you can try a new game almost every month. This is, of course, also valid for 2020. Half of the year has already passed, but there are still 6 months ahead, and you can be sure that dozens of new slot machines will be released in the meantime. So, which upcoming slots are the most remarkable? Which new slots are worth waiting for and playing? We answer these questions (and more) below.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

If everything goes well, this game will be released as you read this article. In any case, you can be sure that this game has the nearest release date on this list because IGT is trying to use the popularity of the movie that will be released in the same period. If you are not aware, there is an old movie series starring Keanu Reeves, named Bill & Ted, and the latest movie in the series will be released soon. The game is adapted from the original movie and is, therefore, expected to attract a lot of attention.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure slot has fun and profitable features. 

• Wild: Bill and Ted's symbols can turn wild at any time during the game. 

• Jackpots: There are 5 fixed jackpot rewards, and you have to collect the symbols of historical characters to win them. You can also increase the amount of jackpot rewards by collecting the symbols of special upgrade characters. 

• Betting: The betting range of the game ranges from 0.10 to 30 coins.

24 Hour Grand Prix

Red Tiger is trying a different thing with its upcoming 24 Hour Grand Prix slot. Instead of the usual setup, this game has 6 reels in total, and it is played on a 6x4 grid (each reel can hold four symbols). This unusual setup offers more possibilities to create winning combinations, but it also increases the bet values. The betting range of the game is between 0.10 and 200 coins per spin. 

The game is adapted from the famous Grand Prix races, as the name suggests, and all of its symbols are pictures of old race cars. Landing three or more “race spins” symbols will trigger the bonus feature and fill all reels with high-paying symbols for the next spins. There is also a mini-game that awards cash prizes. There is no progressive jackpot, but you can win up to 2.166x total bet in this game. 

Immortal Glory

Microgaming loves to develop mythology-themed games. The best example of this is the Thunderstruck series. One of Microgaming's favourite slots, the Thunderstruck series contains two games as it is known and uses Nord mythology as a theme. This time, Microgaming focuses on Ancient Greek mythology and presents the Immortal Glory. Are you ready to participate in the Olympic races and win big?

Well, ready or not, the races are about to begin. The game area is a 5x4 grid, and symbols of racers can expand to fill multiple slots. The wild symbols can also expand to fill the entire reel they appeared on. There is also a nudge wild feature, which simply changes the position of the wild symbol on the reel and offers another chance to win. Immortal Glory contains three fixed jackpot awards too, and three jackpot symbols will let you win one of them. Lastly, you can win up to 10x multiplier during the free spins round and win really big. It seems Immortal Glory is ready to sit on the throne of Thunderstruck series. 

Adventure Trail

If you like cartoony graphics and big jackpots, Adventure Trail slot has both of them. This game invites you to an adventure in the jungle and offers the chance to win up to 2.000x total bet. The minimum bet per spin is 0.10 coins, so you don’t need a big bankroll to play it. The maximum bet amount, on the other hand, is 500 coins per spin, so you may want to start slow. Adventure Trail slot uses the regular 5x3 setup and offers a couple of bonus features. 

• Jackpots: There are four fixed jackpots (mini, minor, major, grand) in the game. 

• Volatility: The volatility of Adventure Trail is medium, so you have a pretty good chance of winning at least one of these jackpots. 

• Free spins: By landing three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, you can win up to 50x total bet and 6 free spins. And during the spins, only the highest-paying symbols will be used. 

• Re-spins: Lastly, by collecting six Gold Monkey symbols, you can trigger a Fire Blaze re-spin and win one of the jackpots. 

Mayan Eagle

Microgaming may be known for its classic video slots, but that doesn't mean it doesn't develop modern games. Mayan Eagle slot is one of the best examples of this. Everything in this game is innovative and creative. This is a truly unique game. First of all, it is played on a 6x5 grid, and due to this unique setup, it can offer up to 15.625 lines. When you score a win, the rolling reels feature will automatically trigger and remove all symbols that are part of the spin. New symbols will drop down from above, and if they also create a winning combination, this process will repeat itself. 

The maximum payout of the Mayan Eagle slot is 13.000x total bet, and Microgaming says that it is a very high volatility game. During the base gameplay, you can randomly trigger a mystery feature and add eight more symbols to the reels. All these symbols will transform into a single one and increase your winning chance. If you want to play something different, make sure to follow the Mayan Eagle slot machine. 

Wrath of Medusa

Without a doubt, Medusa is the most popular slot game of Rival. As the name suggests, it is about the mythological creature named Medusa, you know, the queen who can turn you to stone simply by looking. Rival created a couple of Medusa spin-offs in the past, but none of them was successful enough. Well, maybe this new slot will be luckier: Wrath of Medusa slot contains all the features that made the original game famous.  

First of all, it has 3D models and very advanced graphics. This may be the best-looking game of Rival. The wild symbol can expand to fill the entire reel during the main game and gains the sticky feature during the free spins (so it does not disappear from the reels between the spins). The number of free spins depends on how lucky you were in the pick-me game. When the feature triggers, you are asked to choose a stone soldier, and your choice reveals how many spins you won. You can win up to 500x total bet in Wrath of Medusa slot and the betting range of the game changes between 0.20 – 50 coins per spin. 

Rainbow Riches: Pots of Gold

Rainbow Riches is the most popular game of Bally, and the provider created more than a dozen spinoffs to take advantage of this popularity. Some of these spinoffs were terrible, but there were also games that offered satisfying gameplay and prizes. Well, we hope the Pots of Gold will be one of those successful spinoffs too. So far, It seems to be one of the best games in the Rainbow Riches series.

The game comes with three progressive jackpot pools, minor, major, and epic. It is a part of the Mega Drop network, so the jackpot prizes can be quite big. You can win as high as 15.000 EUR/USD with the epic jackpot. There are also multiplier payouts. Placing five wild symbols anywhere on the screen pays 25x total bet. If you manage to fill the entire screen with wild symbols, you can win 5.000x total bet. Rainbow Riches: Pots of Gold slot has high volatility so expect to win really big (but not often). The betting range is between 0.20 and 50 coins per spin, so you can try your chance even with a small bankroll.
