Here are this weeks latest slots releases!

Evoplay welcomes players back to the realm of the mysterious Overlords in search of unimaginable riches in latest release, Wild Overlords Bonus Buy. The freshly renewed title sees players return to the kingdom of the merciless tiger, fearless wolf, resilient horse and almighty buffalo – with their moods determining the values of symbols and thus the game’s outcome.

 

Karen Maneater is the much needed sequel to xWays Hoarder xSplit and it all goes down in this one. Karen Maneater has a 233333 reel set layout. Karen and her raccoons are on the hunt thanks to the Scatter feature – so beware of the xWays and Infectious xWays that will spread. The xBet feature makes things more viscous, increasing the base bet by +30%.

 

iSoftBet, invites players to fill the reels with vibrant fruits and old-school 7’s in the hunt for lucrative Wild Multipliers in new slot release, Golden Jokers Double Up. The nostalgia-inducing title provides 1,024 ways to win and includes a special Double Up option, which doubles the size of Scatter symbols to give players a greater chance of triggering the feature.

 

Play’n GO asks if fortune is in your favour with its latest release, Idol of Fortune. Inspired by classic South Asian landscapes and themes, this game broadens Play’n GO’s unmatched portfolio further still as new themes are constantly being explored. The diversity of their titles means there is something for every player.

 

BGaming is renewing its collaboration with a famous comedian in a new summer slot the Big Atlantis Frenzy.  The slot features will make the sequel even more fascinating. In addition to traditional Bonus, Wilds and Free Spins, the Big Atlantis Frenzy will have an independent reel size change option. This exclusive feature naturally allows players to set the rules themselves: 5×3, 5×4 or 5×5; the players will be able to choose a reel size and number of paylines correspondingly.

 

Blueprint Gaming’s industry leading progressive jackpot system has hooked a major gaming title with the addition of Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch to Jackpot King. Launched in 2021, the Big Catch version of the famous fishing-themed slot saw the creation of an alternative Free Spins round that successfully evolved the legendary Fishin’ Frenzy franchise to new heights.

 

 

Pragmatic Play, welcomes players to a mischief-ridden kingdom in new title, Goblin Heist PowerNudge™.  Goblin Heist PowerNudge™ takes place in a fantasy realm packed with treasure-hungry creatures in search of wins worth up to 4,000x the bet.  The PowerNudge™ tool comes into play with every winning combination, causing reels that participate in the successful spin to ‘nudge’ a position down, creating opportunities for even further payouts. 

 

Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, is back to deliver another extraordinary magical adventure in their new release, Magic Spins™. Enchanting players with stunning design and innovative mathematics that Wazdan’s titles are renowned for, the new release boosts player engagement with Sticky Special Bonus symbols that increase players’ chances of triggering the bonus round.

 

There are tens of thousands slot games, but to find one, for the first time we are going to a real betting shop, thanks to Expanse Studios. Lucky Betting Shop is a betting-themed 5×3 video slot introduced by Expanse Studios – a company established in 2017 whose main goal is to provide maximum top quality online games as possible based on players’ preferences. It’s played on 1024 paylines and packed with Wilds, Multiplier Reel, Free Spins, Bet Ticket, and Gamble feature.

Brimming with the sweet nectar of wins, Follow the Honey is set in the colorful woodlands and features expanding Wild Queen Bee symbols, Worker Bee reel modifiers, and a progressive Free Spins round.

  • Actress Susan Wokoma stars alongside Baldur’s Gate 3 duo, Samantha Béart and Neil Newbon, Doug Cockle (Witcher 3), Jane Douglas (games presenter), and Sir Ian Livingstone, co-founder of Games Workshop.  
  • The trailer launches in cinema ahead of the 21st BAFTA Games Awards on Tuesday 8 April. 
  • Research conducted by BAFTA found young adults say video games are important to their wellbeing and a form of social connection (YouGov) 

BAFTA and DCM (Digital Cinema Media) have teamed up with award-winning actress Susan Wokoma to create a national cinema advertising campaign that promotes and celebrates the art of storytelling in video games. It’s the third campaign delivered by the partnership and is releasing in cinemas ahead of the 21st BAFTA Games Awards on Tuesday 8 April 2025.

The 105 second trailer was produced by Common People Films and DCM Studios, with Jennifer Sheridan directing the film. Susan features alongside famous faces from games – such as Samantha Béart and Neil Newbon from Baldur’s Gate 3 – who share their love for video games with cinema audiences nationwide.
Jeremy Kolesar, Creative Director, DCM Studios, “We’ve seen a flourishing intersection between games, film and TV in the UK. Whether it’s a franchise-inspired series or film, a narrative-driven game, or an engaging acting performance, each medium strengthens the other. We’ve tried to capture this in our third cinema campaign with BAFTA, which draws from the diverse UK games industry to inspire the next generation of talent with an adventurous cinematic experience.”

World-renowned for its annual Film Awards, BAFTA has been celebrating the craft, skill and creativity of the games industry for over 20 years, spotlighting the best games and talent in its annual Games Awards ceremony.

The cinema trailer explores the connectivity between film, games and TV, highlighting the depth of video game storytelling and the many varied games that captivate audiences worldwide.

Tony Roberts, Founder/ EP, Common People Films: “This is the second time BATFA and DCM have asked us to bring their brand and message to life and we’re incredibly proud of the work we deliver for both of them. Having a diverse roster of talent, it was exciting to get our directors to write with a focus in games this time round and we think Jennifer has captured something very special. The games industry is a jewel in the crown of British industry and should be celebrated. Another great collaboration.”
BAFTA and YouGov research 

As an arts charity, BAFTA supports the next generation of screen talent through various initiatives, bursaries and scholarships.  Three alumni of BAFTA’s programmes were given paid roles on the production of this trailer – Jade Fabiyi (camera), Reece Grant (Art Department) and Shona Hart (Stagehand).

This ethos is reflected in the UK cinema placement of the campaign, which targets 16-34 year-olds during the preshow for multiple blockbuster releases. This includes the new A Minecraft movie, based on one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time.

Recent research conducted by BAFTA with YouGov found that:

  • Adults aged 18-34 consider video games as important to wellbeing, with a third (31%) citing video games as a form of self-care (higher than Film – 28% or TV – 27%) and 39% of 18-34s consider video games as a form of social connection (compared to 30% Film/TV).
  • Over half of UK adults see games as ‘a form of entertainment’ (54%).  However, only 1 in 5 consider games as great storytelling (20%) and there is lower awareness that games contain meaningful messages about today’s world (9%) compared to TV (33%)
  • Over half (53%) of 18-34s would trust the quality of a game that has been nominated or won a BAFTA Games Award.
  • Two thirds (62%) of UK adults were not aware that some of the world’s most celebrated games are made in the UK, and 1 in 5 would be more likely to play a game made in the UK (21%).

Donna Mathews, Executive Director of Engagement, Marketing and Communications at BAFTA said: “BAFTA is known for celebrating excellence in the screen arts and games are no exception. Our members recognise the craft, skill and creativity that goes into making every game and our Awards showcase the incredible variety of games on offer.  Like TV and film, games are a way to explore stories and learn about the world around us and young adults see games as more than a form of entertainment, with many considering games important to their wellbeing and social connection.  The UK games industry is a world-leading creative force, with talented people making games up and down the country, so with thanks to DCM and Common People Films we are putting games on the big screen to share our appreciation of this art form with audiences nationwide too.”  

Susan Wokoma said: “Film, TV and games are connected by the passion of the people who make it. It takes so many people to make these things and seeing people really take ownership of their story and their passion, that’s the thing that threads throughout all of those mediums.” 

Jennifer Sheridan, director, said: “What makes gaming so captivating is its ability to fully immerse you in the story. It invites you to engage with the narrative interactively. The beauty of storytelling in games lies in how your experience can be completely unique, even if you’re playing the same game as someone else. This film celebrates that diversity and the incredible journeys that games can take you on.”
