New Casino Games This Week: Pragmatic Play, Play'n Go & More (Oct 19, 2026)

The new casino games of October 2026 keep coming. For the week of Oct 19 to Oct 25, 13 new games landed on Goated, led by Pragmatic Play with Wonders of Aztec and Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000. Last week's $25,000 Weekly Race paid $10,000 to first place, and the $1,500 Hell Hunter challenge runs through Oct 25. Missed the last roundup? Read last week's issue.

New Casino Games This Week

Thirteen games arrived across ten providers: Pragmatic Play, Play'n Go, NetEnt, Hacksaw Gaming, Red Tiger Gaming, Spinomenal, Peter & Sons, ShadyLady, Popiplay and BGaming. Halloween and horror show up more than once, and Hacksaw alone shipped three. You can browse everything in the latest releases category.

Spotlight: Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000

Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 from Pragmatic Play puts the fishing theme into a Halloween setting, with sea and fish tags plus a spooky coat of paint. It runs 10 paylines at 96.50% RTP and medium volatility, so swings should be gentler than most of this week's lineup. Bonus Rounds and Bonus Buy are both on the feature list. It is the most seasonal release of the week, and a fair pick if you want something familiar for the end of October.

Spotlight: Tower Run Treasure Steps

Tower Run Treasure Steps from Play'n Go is a medieval-themed slot with card symbols and characters. Its published RTP is 94.20%, the lowest of the 13 new games, and its volatility is very high. Bonus Rounds is the only listed feature, and the feed shows a hit ratio of 2.75. I'd treat this one as a high-variance pick with a lower RTP than the rest of the week, so size your bets accordingly.

Spotlight: Demon Beats

Demon Beats is the NetEnt release, with a mystic theme and a cast of characters. RTP is 96.08% with very high volatility, which means long dry stretches are part of the deal. It has both Bonus Buy and Bonus Rounds. NetEnt only shipped one title this week, and this is it. Fans of darker, character-driven slots will probably start here.

Spotlight: The Jade Path Hold and Win

Of Hacksaw's three releases, The Jade Path Hold and Win is the most distinctive. It combines card symbols with an Aztec theme, runs 9 paylines, and carries an in-game jackpot alongside Bonus Rounds and Bonus Buy. RTP is 96.19% at medium volatility, and the feed lists a hit ratio of 39.67. That mix of a jackpot and medium volatility is rare among this week's games.

Pick of the Week: Wonders of Aztec

Wonders of Aztec is the pick. It is the higher-RTP Pragmatic Play release this week at 96.55%, it sits at medium volatility, and it offers both Bonus Buy and Bonus Rounds. Pragmatic Play is the top-ranked provider among this week's releases, and this game's numbers make the case on their own.

This Week by the Numbers

Across the 13 releases, average RTP is 96.17%. The highest is Aviamasters 2 Halloween at 97%, and the lowest is Tower Run Treasure Steps at 94.20%. Volatility splits into 4 medium, 4 high and 5 very high, which adds up to 13. Bonus Buy appears on 11 of the 13 games, Bonus Rounds on 11 of 13, and an in-game jackpot on 2 of 13. The only theme tag that clusters is card symbols, which appears on 4 of the 13 titles.

Hot Slots This Week

These three slots paid back the most over the past 7 days compared with what was wagered. The figures below are each game's published RTP, not a result for the week.

1. Possessed by Nolimit City, published RTP 96.06%
2. Tanked 3: First Blood 2 by Nolimit City, published RTP 95.99%
3. Grimms' Bounty: Princess and the Frog by PGSoft, published RTP 96.77%

A hot week says nothing about what the next spins will do. Every slot keeps its house edge.

Weekly Race: $25,000 Up for Grabs

The current Weekly Race has a $25,000 pool and closes at 00:00 UTC on Oct 26. The pool pays 20 ranks, from $10,000 for first place down to $25 for 20th, and the full ladder lives on the race page. Early on, the top three sit at 114,156, 91,893 and 79,130 points, all hidden players.

Last week's race finished with a much bigger spread. First place took 3,143,419 points and $10,000, second took 2,719,817 points and $5,000, and third took 2,174,219 points and $2,000. All three names were hidden.

The Daily Race is the quicker version, with a $2,500 pool that resets every 24 hours instead of weekly. If you want a walkthrough of how these races work, our guide to crypto casino daily races covers it.
