The online slots industry rarely sits still, but Thursday was an especially busy day for developers. Many leading studios released new titles, with the highlights coming from Play’n GO, Booming Games, and Hacksaw Gaming.
They each dropped interesting new slots action covering fiery frontier landscapes, archaeological misadventure, and buffalo stampedes.
Colt Lightning Inferno – Play’n GO
Play’n GO is no stranger to blockbuster sequels. Rise of Olympus 1000, for example, has been one of its most popular. The company has now released Colt Lightning Inferno as the latest chapter in its Colt franchise that includes titles like Colt Lightning and Colt Lightning Firestorm. The atmosphere is a dark one, with lightning strikes, fire rolling across the desert, and the colt, with its mane ablaze, charging through each spin.
instant cluster potential
The headline feature is the Lightning Blaze mechanic, which activates when the horseshoe lands on the center reel. The fire frame spreads across the symbol positions where it lands, turning them into matching animal symbols to create instant cluster potential.
Bonus Inferno Coins are also part of the game, coming in three different forms. The reward boost multiplies wins between 1x and 5x, power boost jackpots prizes as much as 1,000x and mystery boost that reveals themselves only once the hold n’ load feature kicks in. When this happens, the grid expands to a 5×8 layout.
The highlight is the free spins round, which awards as many as 47 spins. This could lend itself to a powerful run through the blazing reels.
Berserkin’ Buffalo Power Hit – Booming Games
Booming Games has built a loyal fanbase around its Buffalo series and Berserkin’ Buffalo Power Hit is the latest addition, one of the most ambitious titles yet. The studio has integrated its popular Power Hit mechanic into the Buffalo format, which leads to an end product that rewards patience in the base game before exploding into action during the bonus round.
The setup is a 6×4 grid offering 4,096 ways to win, which gives plenty of room for symbols to connect. The max win is 5,000x and there are four jackpot spins up for grabs. The Berserkin’ Bonus can be triggered either by collecting bonus symbols in a pot above the reels or by getting at least three bonus symbols.
The Power Hit feature kicks in during the free spins round, which can guarantee a win every spin. Prizes up to 2,000x can also arrive at any moment.
Le Digger – Hacksaw Gaming
Hacksaw Gaming’s Le Digger reunites players with Smokey the Raccoon, which has been seen in other titles in the series like Le Cowboy and Le Fisherman. This time, he’s disguised as an archaeologist at an excavation site among dinosaur bones.
RTP is 96.26% and there’s medium volatility with max win potential of 15,000x
The game runs on a 6×5 grid with cluster pays mechanics as opposed to fixed paylines. Le Digger has an RTP of 96.26%, medium volatility, and max win potential of 15,000x.
The layer and dynamite system is the main innovation, as every position on the grid has three layers. One layer is removed when winning symbols clear. Mookey can randomly throw dynamite into the grid after each cascade to reveal further layers. The deepest layer triggers the Golden Reveal mechanic, where multipliers of up to 500x are available.
Three bonus games are part of Le Digger. Time Service offers ten free spins, Dig It introduces a blast feature that upgrades the mummy coin tier and unlocks additional spins, and Gold Digger is the hidden epic bonus that guarantees five dynamites on every spin.
