Merlin’s Grimoire by Play’n GO

Behold the magic of Merlin in Play’n GO’s new slot. Merlin’s Grimoire boasts split symbols, magic potions, and some fantastical free spins!

In Arthurian legend, Merlin was the most powerful wizard and a trusted companion of the king. But Merlin wouldn’t have conjured up too many dragons without his trusty book of spells – or ‘grimoire’.   

What Play’n GO has conjured up in Merlin’s Grimoire is a luscious five-reel slot that dazzles with magic as much as it does its jackpots. You can also hit 7,776 ways to win when symbols split!

Play’n GO has gone all out with the atmosphere in this slot. As well as some dramatic music that plays over the top as you spin, Merlin’s voice will call out as he hunts for his missing book.

You begin Merlin’s Grimoire with a standard set of five reels and three rows. However, lightning may strike reels two, three, or four at any moment, activating the reel and splitting the symbols on it. The more symbols that split, the more paylines there are. It’s possible to split so many symbols that you play 7,776 ways to win on a single spin.

The grimoire symbol acts as both a scatter and a wild. Three or more wild scatters triggers 10 free spins. In addition, during the bonus feature split symbols can appear on all five reels. There is also an expanding symbol which is chosen at random at the beginning of the bonus.

Merlin’s Grimoire boasts Drama with a capital ‘D.’ It certainly gives slots such as Thunderstruck II a run for their money. Give it a spin for free and see if the magic is with you.

Folsom Prison by Nolimit City

Walk the line at Folsom Prison by Nolimit City. Johnny Cash may not be in attendance, but you could bag some cash of your own by triggering xSplits, xWays, or The Chair bonus!

You might remember from a past round-up of the best new online slots of the week how we eulogized Nolimit City’s San Quentin xWays. Well, Nolimit City is continuing its prison-themed range of slots in 2022 with Folsom Prison.

Just like San Quentin xWays, Folsom Prison features some excellent mechanics and a real cutting-edge approach to slot themes. This game doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of US prisons: there’s even a bonus round dedicated to the electric chair.

Scatter symbols appear on the middle two rows of reels 2-5. Two scatters unlock the rows on reel five. However, landing just two scatters triggers xWays, xSplit, a wild symbol, or the Cockroach Nest.

The cockroach will crawl across the reels, opening up cells and unlocking new symbols. xWays symbols transform into other paying icons. You also unlock more ways to win. Finally, xSplit symbols split the whole row they appear on. It doubles the number of win ways while also splitting itself into wild symbols.

You trigger one of two bonus features with three scatters. Walk the Line is a free spins bonus which awards eight free games. The Chair bonus triggers with four scatters. You win eight free spins, with more games available if any scatter is affected by an xSplit. In addition, you are guaranteed at least three cockroach triggers during the feature.

Only Nolimit City could make a new online slot about the death penalty. But if you’re not too sensitive to the theme, give Folsom Prison a play. It’s available for free right here.

Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast by Gold Coin Studios

We continue our best new online slots of the week with something a little gentler. Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast is a beautiful five-reel slot by Gold Coin Studios that offers bonus symbols galore, wilds, and up to 40 free spins!

Gold Coin Studios inked a deal with Microgaming back in 2021 to provide slots to the iGaming behemoth. Arthur’s Gold and Animals of Africa were two games straight out of the blocks, as was Aquatic Treasures.

It’s barely been a year since the original Aquatic Treasures came out. And while the 20 paylines of that game have been cut to 10, the bonus action in Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast is worth the extra gameplay. ?

Aquatic Treasures is the slot for you if you love underwater creatures. The reels are teeming with turtles, starfish, and seahorses. Wins pay right-to-left as well as left-to-right.

Look out for dolphins which act as wilds. These porpoises have a purpose as they expand to fill the entire reel. Plus, adjacent reels with expanding wilds will combine to form a super-sized wild. Best of all, wilds replace ALL symbols in the game.

Extra wilds appear during the free spins bonus, which you trigger with three or more gold dolphin icons running left-to-right. You win 10–20 free spins, depending upon the number of scatters you triggered the feature with. You can also retrigger the feature for a maximum of 40 free games.

Though there are only 10 paylines in Aquatic Treasures Coast 2 Coast, the wild modifiers make the game worth the effort. Dive into this new Gold Coin Studios slot today and play it for free.

Pile ‘em Up by Snowborn Games

Fill the Coin Booster and enhance your wins in Snowborn’s new slot, Pile ‘em Up! Trigger free spins or bonus respins with a massive jackpot if you fill the screen!

From one Microgaming collaborator to another now as we celebrate the launch of Snowborn Games’ release, Pile ‘em Up. The game features coin boosters, power-ups, and free spins with multipliers.

The Coin Booster begins with a 1x multiplier. Every time you hit a 1UP symbol it adds to the Coin Booster. You must collect gold coins which are multiplied by the booster value after you land the Collect symbol on reel five. Look out for wilds which can substitute for any regular symbols except scatters, bonus icons, and the 1UP.

You trigger free spins by hitting three or more bonus symbols anywhere on reels one, three, and five. The Coin Booster multiplier carries over to the bonus feature. They convert into Coin Respins. Your bonus ends when there are no more respins remaining.

You may also trigger the Heart Bonus by landing purple heart symbols. The heart must land on every reel at least once for the bonus to activate. You begin with three bonus spins. Coins are sticky and remain in place for the duration of the feature. Cover the reels with coins and you win 50x stake for every coin on the screen.

Pile ‘em Up is a colorful, fun end to our best new online slots of the week. Give the game a spin for free right here.
