New Slot Games — Weekly Round-up for October 19, 2018

By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Oct 19, 2018

New Slot From Isoftbet

Latest creation offers multi-reel play with a central character guiding players along their journey

Online and mobile games developer iSoftBet has unveiled what it says is its most innovative video slot creation to date, The Dalai Panda.

The highly original game is centred around the infinitely wise Dalai Panda, who uses his mystical powers to magically manipulate the reels if he senses bigger wins are possible, leading to 729 ways to win.

The Dalai Panda comprises two separate reels that spin simultaneously giving players double the chance to win. The game’s central character is an able ally, guiding players along their spiritual slot journey, regularly filling the Free Spins Bank at the centre of the screen, and producing a series of game-enhancing bonus features including Extra Wilds, Extended Wins, Wild Reels and Win Multipliers.

If three or more Bonus symbols hit the reels, the Free Spins feature triggers, causing the reels to come together to form an enlarged single reel-set with hundreds of pay-ways.

The Dalai Panda sits in the middle-to-high range of the volatility scale and delivers a claimed RTP of 95.81 percent for normal spins, with a hit rate of 27.9 percent. The game is available on all devices.

Michael Probert, chief commercial officer at iSoftBet, said: “The Dalai Panda is one of our most innovative developments to date, and offers a unique and highly enjoyable experience.

“Focussing our game around the wisdom of the Dalai Panda, and having a title character that actively helps players along their user journey, we are sure that this will be one of our biggest hits.”

Buffalo Rising Megaways Launched By Blueprint Gaming

Innovative bonus round puts the control in the player’s hands

UK online gambling games developer Blueprint Gaming announced the launch of its new slot Buffalo Rising Megaways Thursday with a theme set on the dusty plains of the Wild West, and the 117,649 line Megaways mechanic.

Four scatter symbols trigger the innovative Buffalo Bonus free spins round, where players have the opportunity to choose their free spins volatility with a number of spins and win multiplier combinations on offer.

For those wanting to add an extra level of excitement, a mystery choice can be risked, awarding a random combination of free spins and win multipliers. Every win during the bonus round triggers cascading symbols and increases the win multiplier value.

Buffalo Rising Megaways also features an operator configurable Buffalo Bet, allowing players to activate the free spins round instantly at any time.

Jo Purvis, director of marketing for Blueprint Gaming, said Thursday: “The chase is on as the buffalo make their way across the plains in search of big prizes in our latest slot release.

“With players able to choose the volatility during the innovative free spins round, as well as the addition of the MegaWays mechanic, we’re sure Buffalo Rising will appeal to a wide-range of players.”

Blueprint Gaming is part of Germany’s Gauselmann Group.

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
