Beam Boys from Hacksaw Gaming

Beam Boys by Hacksaw Gaming

Release Date: 1st Feb
RTP: 96.35%
Variance: Normal or Extreme 
Maximum Win: 12,500x

This is another totally idiosyncratic slot from one of our favourite studios right now, Hacksaw Gaming. In their trademark monochrome and neon colors this game features bionic feral cats that shoot light beams from their eyes to spread wilds across the reels. It’s totally weird and totally fun.  And the best part? You get to choose your own volatility setting from normal to extreme.

The game gave us a high hit rate of 34% in testing and lots of exciting spins where the Beam Boys did their stuff. If you enjoy games like Break Bones and RIP City from Hacksaw, then we think you’ll like this one too.

Big Bass Floats My Boat from Pragmatic Play

Big Bass Floats My Boat by Pragmatic Play

Release Date: 6th Feb
RTP: 96.07%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 5,000x

We are now onto the 12th Big Bass slot game, surely one of the most successful slot series of all time. The friendly bearded fisherman is back, this time casting his line in an idyllic cove as the sun sets on the horizon and the classic twangy banjo track plays behind.

What made this one interesting in testing was the unusual maths model. We saw a very low hit rate of just 12%, but that was offset by a free spins round that triggered no less than 5 times over 200 spins. This is a top class high variance slot where the RTP is weighted into the bonus round where you can build seriously big multipliers.

Gritty Kitty of Nitropolis from ELK Studios 

Gritty Kitty of Nitropolis by ELK Studios
 

Release Date: 6th Feb
RTP: 94%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 25,000x

This is the first in a series of five Nitropolis slots this year, one for each of the four clans who will come together to do battle in the city in the final installment. Gritty Kitty is set in a claustrophobic downtown Tokyo-style backstreet, with a ferocious EDM soundtrack backing the relentless action on the reels.

Those who enjoy the frenetic energy of the first four Nitropolis games will love this one. It has all the usual features including Nitro Reels, Feature Reels, Assassin Spins and Free Drops. It’s fast and fun, but also very volatile. We experienced a hit rate of just 18% in testing over 300 spins, and no wins greater than 23x! It's going to be tough, but with a 25,000x max win to aim for, it might just be worth it.

D Day From Nolimit City

D Day By Nolimit City

Release Date: 13th Feb
RTP: 96.12%
Variance: Extreme
Maximum Win: 55,555x

If you were worried that the quality of Nolimit City slots might drop after Evolution Gaming acquired them, think again. They are still right on form here with this epic war slot that will please those who enjoyed the thrills of Das X Boot and Pearl Harbour. Into the gameplay come all manner of war features including Howitzers, Stukas, Panzers and Bombers to drop wilds and split symbols across the 5 reel grid.

NLC have cranked up the max win to a stunning 55,555x, and taken the variance up to Extreme once more. For volatility fans this is an unmissable release for February.

Pompei Megareels Megaways from Pragmatic Play

Pompei Megareels Megaways by Pragmatic Play

Release Date: 13th Feb
RTP: 96%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 10,000x

Another Pragmatic Play slot we can’t wait to see go live this month is Pompei Megareels Megaways. With its volcanic theme it’s no surprise to learn that this slot is a highly volatile production and it will suit anyone who likes their slots play to be simple and high risk. Pragmatic have stripped back the usual Megaways shenanigans to just Tumble Wins and Free Spins.

In tests on Pragmatic Play’s servers this slot was ruthlessly volatile. After long runs of zero wins, and a hit rate of just 16%, it suddenly kicked out a 177.2x win in a sequence of 14 consecutive tumbles.

Wheel O Gold from Pragmatic Play

Release Date: 13th Feb
RTP: 96.02%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 10,000x

It’s good to know that amidst this crazy set of game releases that features bionic cats, futuristic dystopian cities and erupting volcanoes, there is also a very traditional Irish luck-themed game, packed with jovial leprechauns, lucky clovers, rainbows and lush Emerald green landscapes.

Wheel O Gold is the only Scatter Pays game in our list and it comes with Tumble Wins, a Prize Wheel with multipliers of up to 50x, free spins with progressive multipliers and a 10,000x top win. What more could you want?

Fire In The Hole 2 from Nolimit City

Release Date: 20th Feb
RTP: 96.07%
Variance: Insane
Maximum Win: 65,000x

These days NLC are kicking out two games per month but we are not complaining. Fire in the Hole 2 is the follow up to the original xBomb classic, packed with multiplier wilds, collapsing mines, xSplits and the brilliant Lucky Wagon Spins Hold and Win game.

In truth there is not too much difference between this slot and the original, except the max win and volatility have both been increased which can only make things better!

Cowabunga Dream Drop from Relax Gaming

Release Date: 20th Feb
RTP: 93.99%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 6,000x

Slot games with a surfer theme are a rare thing, but in the dead of winter Relax Gaming have dropped this one to remind us of where we might want to go on our summer holidays. Except perhaps we won’t be wanting to swim with the shark that patrols this beach. Never mind, just focus on that wave barrelling towards sure because it might just deliver one of Relax’s famous Mega Dream Drop Jackpot wins that max out at a whopping £3,000,000!

Cowabunga is not a complex game but it is fun. The middle 3 reels randomly expand to up to 7 rows high, synching as they do. And aside from those Dream Drops you can win up to 6,000x in the main game.

Sweetopia Royale from Relax Gaming

Release Date: 27h Feb
RTP: 96.1%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 5,000x

Also from Relax Gaming this month is this highly indulgent saccharine number, simply oozing glucose, chocolate and marshmallow gloop. Relax do not hold back, stacking the game with both sweets and every Cluster Pays feature you can think of. There are re-spins, candy cannons adding matching symbols to grow your clusters, symbol upgrades, a hold and win game, and a free spins round.

Check our review for full details.

Wild Swarm 2 from Push Gaming

Release Date: 29h Feb
RTP: 96.67%
Variance: High
Maximum Win: 10,000x

And to finish off we have another sequel. This time a follow-up to Push Gaming’s superb cluster pays game, Wild Swarm. This is a more volatile production with a higher max win at 10,000x, but the pay table and features will be familiar to anyone who enjoyed the first version.

There is a pick me bonus with instant win prizes to be won but the real highlights are the free spins round with guaranteed sticky wilds and two reel multipliers, and the Swarm Mode where 10 spins are granted with FIVE reel multipliers and a stack of sticky wilds on one reel!
