August may prove to be one of the hottest months of the year for all video slots enthusiasts, thanks to loads of new exciting releases. Expect action, excitement, drama, and, of course, plenty of possibilities for hefty payouts.

In this text, we will present the top three video slots you should definitely try this August.

1. Mad Cars (Push Gaming)

If you prefer video slots with post-apocalyptic themes, then Mad Cars is a perfect game for you. Start your engines and enter the wasteland arena to battle for the last reserves of petrol and the top payout of 25,000x the bet per spin. The reels are set in an abandoned refinery, and here you will meet the leaders of the four remaining petrolhead gangs.

These four gang representatives are used as high-paying regular icons. Cars are used as instant Prize symbols, with one of the Cars being the Scatter that triggers the Mad Bonus Free Spins. As for the Wrench, Dice, Wheel, and Knife, they act as low-value symbols.

The Push Gaming product is played on a 5×6 grid, with 50 fixed paylines. Mad Cars pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel, with three of a kind being the minimum for landing payouts. Set the bet somewhere between $0.10 and $40, and you are ready to go.

There is a Boost Reel that is placed above the regular reel grid. When a Car appears on one of the reels (always on the bottom row), it will start moving upwards only when a special symbol appears on the corresponding cell on the Boost Reel. Cars appear with multipliers (1x-100x). Icons that appear on the Boost Reel offer Multipliers (2x-200x), Gas, Multiplier & Gas Combo, and the Survivor icon.

Gas icons will give the corresponding Car the ability to move upwards between 1 and 6 positions. When a Car crosses the entire grid, it will deliver the instant win attached to it. The Multiplier icon boosts the current multiplier of the Car. The Combo icon gives you both a multiplier boost and a certain number of cells for the Car to cross.

If more than one Car is present on the reels, when the first Car crosses the finish line, other Cars will be removed. This happens during the base game. However, if a certain Car gets a Survivor icon from the Boost Reel, it will remain on the grid.

Make the Scatter Car cross the finish line and you will trigger the Mad Bonus feature. Get 7 free spins during which only car icons appear. Expect all the same symbols on the Boost Reel as in the base game, except for the Survivor icon. Also, there are extra symbols that will appear on the Boost Reel – Line Up, Persistent Payer, Persistent Collector, and the Combo of the previous two.

Every time a Car crosses the finish line, a new one will appear at the bottom. Mad Race is a random feature and may be triggered after all free spins are finished. It will make all the remaining Cars cross the line and deliver payouts. This high volatility game with an RTP of 96.39% also gives you an option to buy the Mad Bonus feature.

2. Sticky Bandits Trail of Blood (Quickspin)

The Sticky Bandits franchise has a new member – Sticky Bandits trail of Blood. This is a new perspective on the popular theme, with Tex Tallonis returning to the goldrush town where he once served as a deputy. He is back to avenge his family. A highly volatile game with an RTP of 96.23% will surprise you with wins up to 17,000x the bet.

The Quickspin title benefits from 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines. The 2022 release pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. Two of a kind is the minimum for high-value symbols, while you will need at least three matching low-paying icons on a payline to land a win. Bet between $0.10 and $100 per spin.

Tex and his enemies represent Wilds that appear on all reels and substitute for all regular icons. They also act as Scatters that trigger respins. Revolver, Knife, Brass Knuckles, and Fire Bomb act as high-value symbols. Playing cards represent low-value ones.

Get 3, 4, or 5 Wilds on the reels at the same time to trigger the Revenge Free Spins feature and get 10, 12, or 15 freebies, respectively. Every triggering Wild will lock in its place and remain there until the end of the feature. Every additional Wild that lands will stick and give you an extra freebie. If you get 5 Wilds on a payline, you will form a Trail of Blood and get 300x in every following free spin. Players have the option to buy the feature.

3. Sizzling Kingdom: Bison! (Wazdan)

Wazdan is taking all players to the wilderness of North America. Here, the mighty Bison rules other wild animals, such as Grizzley Bears, Wolves, Mountain Lions, and Eagles. The 2022 release is played on a 6×4 grid and benefits from 10 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts.

The maximum payout is set at 5,000x the bet. Players set the volatility of the game themselves, as well as the speed of the reels. Bison is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. It can appear in stacks, covering the entire reel. When at least 2 Wilds cover entire reels, the Wild Rampage feature is triggered.

Players get 3 respins. Each time a new Wild appears, it will stick and reset the number of respins to 3. The feature ends when you use all of your respins or fill the reels with Wilds, whichever comes first. Land Level up icons to increase the Grand Jackpot to Level 4. If all cells are covered with Wilds, you get a Grand Jackpot of up to 5,000x the bet, depending on the Jackpot Level.

Silver and Gold Bonus symbols trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus game. It is played on a 6×5 grid, with all triggering Bonus symbols remaining on the screen. Get 3 respins, which will reset with each new icon landed. Different types of symbols may appear on different parts of the grid. Expect Cash Rain, Collector, Mystery, Cash, Gallop, Level Up, Countdown Booster, and Collect to infinity icons.

Each of these icons comes with a different role, adding new symbols on the reels, increasing the coin value, increasing the Jackpot Level, accumulating values of other cash icons, etc. Again, the goal is to fill as many cells with icons, to collect bigger prizes. If all cells are covered with symbols, you get the Grand Jackpot, up to 5,000x.

Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters to trigger 8, 15, 25, or 100 free spins. It is possible to retrigger the feature and you may get up to 200 freebies. Land Cash and Sticky Cash icons together with the Collector symbol to get instant prizes. Also, during free spins, only high-paying icons and Wilds will appear.
