Let’s begin with Videoslots bringing in some new features: 5. Videoslots welcomes new providers and games The online casino Videoslots is hosting a Summer Bonanza from 16-20 August. Players can win a share of 6,000 free spins during the promotion. In addition to the Summer Bonanza, Videoslots welcomes two new providers. Spieldev Gaming joins Videoslots and is debuting Quake. Quake comes with an RTP rate of 96.36% and is a high-volatility slot. See how much you can make the earth shake by wagering a minimum bet of €0.25 up to a maximum bet of €12.5. Also joining the online casino is Skywind Group with the slot game Respin Mania. Respin Mania offers a minimum bet of €0.25 and a maximum of €250. This 25-line, five-slot reel video game has many bonus features and free spin modes that will keep you entertained throughout. The online casino also introduced several new games this week. Here are a few: Almighty Reels: Realm of Poseidon is a slot with five reels and 25 paylines, and can be played from as little as €0.25 per game up to a maximum wager of €100. Hidden Valley’s layout is a bit different than the standard five-reel slot. It has five reels in total, with reels one and five having three rows and three symbols, while the three middle reels have four rows and four symbols. Hidden Valley is played over 40 fixed paylines and comes with an RTP rate of 96.5%. Nacho Libre comes with five reels and three rows over 10 fixed paylines, and its RTP rate is an excellent 96.5%. Nacho Libre comes with two types of free spins, and you have a choice to make. When three or more bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels, you can choose from two free spins options: 15 free spins with wilds extended on the whole reel (if part of a winning combination) or 10 free spins where wilds remain normal, but wins are doubled by x3.
4. IGT’s Wheel of Fortune awards four jackpots In the month of July, the Wheel of Fortune slots from International Gaming Technology paid out four jackpots totaling more than $7.4 million.
