New Casino Games This Week

Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming each shipped three slots, and BGaming shipped four. Halloween is the loudest theme this week, and you can see everything in the latest releases category.

Spotlight and Pick of the Week: Forever Split Megaways

Forever Split Megaways comes from Pragmatic Play and pairs vampires and horror with a Megaways layout listed at 72,030 paylines. It's a Halloween release with medium volatility, which is the gentler end of this week's spooky lineup. It's my pick this week because its 96.58% RTP is the highest of the three Pragmatic Play releases, and it pairs that with medium volatility and the 72,030-payline Megaways layout. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Buy are both listed as features. If you want the seasonal theme without very high volatility, this is a reasonable place to start.

Spotlight: Gates of Olympus 2500

Gates of Olympus 2500 is the newest addition to a Greek myths slot line from Pragmatic Play, and it carries very high volatility with a 96.52% RTP. Bonus Buy and Bonus Rounds are both on the feature list. The data doesn't list a payline count for it, so I won't guess at the mechanics beyond that. Anyone who plays high-variance games should budget accordingly, because very high volatility means long losing runs are normal.

Spotlight: Ghost Booster! GO Guaranteed

Ghost Booster! GO Guaranteed is a Play'n Go release with a Halloween and horror theme and 20 paylines. The RTP is 94.25%, the second lowest of this week's 18 new slots, so the house edge is larger here than on most of them. Volatility is high. It has an in-game jackpot and Bonus Rounds, but no Bonus Buy, so you can't pay to jump straight to the feature. If you play it, keep the lower RTP in mind when you set your budget.

Spotlight: Le Vampire

Le Vampire is one of three Hacksaw Gaming releases this week, and it leans into Halloween with a vampire and gold theme. RTP is 96.36% and volatility is medium, so it's less brutal than Witchcraft Riches or Stormfire. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Buy are both included. Hacksaw also shipped Outlaw Rooster and Dr Zappo, both at medium volatility, if you want to stay with the provider.

Spotlight: Stormfire

Stormfire is the Red Tiger Gaming release this week, built around a fire and ice theme with a fantasy setting and card symbols. It has 20 paylines and a published RTP of 96.15%. Volatility is very high, so expect long dry runs between bigger hits. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Buy are both on the feature list, which lets you buy into the feature if you're happy to accept those swings.

This Week by the Numbers

The 18 new slots average a 96.12% RTP. The highest is Divine Queen: Power of Sun at 97%, and the lowest is Three Pots of the Genie at 94.24%, with Ghost Booster! GO Guaranteed just above it at 94.25%. On volatility, 7 are medium, 4 are high, 4 are very high and 3 are not rated. Bonus Rounds appears on all 18 games, Bonus Buy on 16 of the 18, and an in-game jackpot on 3 of the 18. Halloween is the clearest theme cluster, tagged on 4 of the 18 games.

Hot Slots This Week

These three slots paid back the most over the past 7 days compared with what was wagered. The list is ranked by that payout, and each slot's published RTP is shown. A hot week doesn't change a game's long-run math.

1. Reactoonz 2 by Play'n Go, published RTP 94.2%
2. Fist of Destruction Megamultiplier by Hacksaw Gaming, published RTP 96.23%
3. Slayers Inc by Hacksaw Gaming, published RTP 96.28%

Weekly Race: $25,000 Up for Grabs

The current Weekly Race has a $25,000 pool and runs until Oct 12 at 00:00 UTC. The pool covers 20 ranks, with first place paying $10,000 and 20th place paying $25. The full ladder is on the Weekly Race page.

Last week's race finished with all three top spots hidden, so I'll go by rank. Rank 1 finished on 2,338,610 points and took $10,000. Rank 2 had 2,153,274 points and won $5,000, and rank 3 had 1,835,942 points and won $2,000. Early in the current race, the leader is hidden on 769,581 points, JohnD is second on 269,550, and a hidden player is third on 221,957. That's a big gap at the top, but there's a full week of wagering left.

The Daily Race works differently. It has a $2,500 pool and resets every 24 hours instead of weekly. The current one ends Oct 6 at 16:00 UTC, with $600 for first place and $30 for 20th. If you're new to the format, the crypto casino daily races explainer walks through how it works.
