Week 37/2020 slot games releases
Here are this weeks latest slots releases!
Mobile-first games developer OneTouch has launched its latest sizzling slot, Flexing Dragons. The game invites courageous players to set the reels alight, with each cascading dragon-themed symbol bringing a different number of ways to win, up to a searing maximum of 117649. Flexing Dragons’ thrilling Free Games turn up the heat by triggering a cumulatively increasing multiplier, which is added to any prizes won during the following spin or avalanche. The title’s buy-in feature, which is configurable in compliance with local regulation, also allows players to purchase Free Games instantly.
Nolimit City is proud to announce their latest premium title with the release of Buffalo Hunter. Inspired by the great American plains of the wild outback, Buffalo Hunter utilises one of the most iconic beasts featured in several well-known, beloved slot games and ramps up the potential in classic Nolimit fashion. With a potential of well over 12,000x in simulated average win return, Buffalo Hunter is another extreme volatile game in the studios 2020 charts. Buffalo Hunter boasts a stylistically mesmerising slot theme, offering a 5×4 reel area that holds 40 win-lines and has powerful features as the mighty buffalo himself.
Quickspin has exhibited Ghost Glyph, a feature-packed and colourful cluster slot. This ghost game features dark themes with humor, including a fun haunted house. It is the second installment in the Glyph series. Ghost Glyph is a 7×7 grid, cluster-pay slot reinforced with tons of inventive ideas. Along with the clusters, the medium volatility game has a 31% hit rate in the base game. Winnings can go up to 2000x.
Spearhead Studios introduces its second video slot and first history-inspired title, Teutoburg. The new game is themed around the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, an event which took place in the 9th century when an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and destroyed three Roman legions. Teutoburg’s key feature are the mystery symbols which reveal high paying German or Roman cavalry, archers or infantry symbols. These mystery prizes land frequently in the base game, and on every free spin. If the mystery prizes reveal enough German symbols, and land next to any Roman ones, an ambush occurs, to the delight of the players. The embattled Romans are either converted into Germans or Multiplying Wilds to create huge win potential. Free spins can retrigger and when they do, the number of mystery prizes increases making it obvious to players how huge wins can be potentially achieved.
Game studio RubyPlay has announced the launch of their brand new slot, Shake Shake Leprechaun, a sister game to the popular Shake Shake Money Tree. The fun-filled Irish-themed game is packed with great features, prizes and of course, Irish luck. There is a rainbow that is filled with coins, prizes and super rewards that shower down on you as you play. Shake Shake Leprechaun is a 5-reel, 4-row slot and as you play, lucky coins that promise generous prizes collect on the rainbow. Then, at random the Lucky Leprechaun lets you shake the rainbow and the coins shower down onto the reels to reward wilds, cash prizes, multipliers and free spins.
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has released Ultra Hold and Spin, a classic slot experience with a twist. The 3×3 title, developed in partnership with Reel Kingdom, has a fun and fast gameplay where players aim to collect a stack of three Bonus Coin symbols to trigger the Free Spins round. During the “Hold and Spin” round, Silver Coins have a value of between 1-9x a player’s stake, and Gold Coins can pay out up to x20 the bet. These Coins remain fixed on the reels for the duration of the Free Spins round, where the total of all Coin values is rewarded to the player. Should the Diamond Money symbol land, then a Coin can be worth up to 500x multiplied, leading to significant wins of up to 2,460x their stake.
Leading casino content developer Realistic Games has revamped one of its most popular titles with the network release of Super Graphics Game Changer
Play’n GO are putting another new title into the market this week, with the release of the fun, feature-filled slot Octopus Treasure. Octopus Treasure gets its release on the back of an excellent week for the slot specialists. First with the hugely successful release of Golden Ticket 2, a sequel to the popular 2014 hit Golden Ticket, and then with their record third consecutive win at the 2020 Starlet Awards. They were awarded Mobile Supplier of the Year for the third time running, and it looks to be some time before they will be seriously challenged as one of the world’s top suppliers. With that in mind, Octopus Treasure looks set to be another triumph for Play’n GO with the game’s style and gameplay reminiscent of traditional land-based games, with plenty of appeal for fans of fast-paced, action-heavy titles.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
