It is hard to get to the top, but it’s even more difficult to stay there. That is why every provider in the iGaming industry is doing his best to offer new and exciting mechanics and features so that the players stay interested and come back to play their games.

With so many video slots on the offer nowadays, being unique and innovative is not an easy task. Even so, some of the leading companies in the business managed to provide some fresh solutions that we will present in this text.

Yggdrasil Introduced Splitz and Gigablox

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of testing Temple Stacks and Neon Rush from the Splitz series. In Temple Stacks, gamers get from 243 to 248, 832 ways to win, while Neon Rush is a five-reel video slot that offers 10 fixed paylines.

The Splitz symbol is there to split icons into up to 5 symbols at once. Also, it is in charge of revealing jackpot symbols on the reels. There are 6 jackpots that can be won in Neon Rush, but you need to have 5 or more Jackpot Scatters on the reels. Gamers can get up to 25,000 times the bet if they trigger the Jackpot feature. During the Free Spins feature, the Splitz icon will reveal only Wilds and Jackpot Scatters for bigger wins.

As for the Gigblox, you can try this innovation in the Lucky Neko video slot. The 2020 release offers six reels and four rows, with 40 fixed paylines. Gigablox is definitely the most important part of the Yggdrasil product and will appear on every spin. Every single icon can appear as a gigablox. In the base game, it comes in sizes 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, while during the Free Spins feature, it can be as big as 5×5 and 6×6, which will secure you massive wins.

Gigablox gets bigger during freebies, because the reel gird expands to 6×8 and you get 85 paylines. Also, there is the Blessed symbol that you get in the feature. This Blessed symbol will carry a win multiplier of 5x until freebies are over.

NetEnt Came Up With Infinireels

As one of the iGaming giants, NetEnt is expected to deliver something new and exciting on a regular basis, and they really do. We will be personal here and say that their Gods of Gold Infinireels is destined for success and that it will be a huge hit this year.

The Infinireels game engine serves to increase the reel gird and the number of ways to win. Players start with three reels and 27 ways to win. Every winning spin increases the number of reels and the number of ways to win and this can go on indefinitely, or until a non-winning spin occurs. They even added a minimap that helps players keep track of the current size of the reels, while the Symbol Counter keeps track of the length of the winning combination.

The NetEnt product also offers a Win Spins feature, where every free spin is a winning one. To trigger the feature, you need to land three Crown Scatters on the reels. Gamers are given 10 freebies, and every additional Scatter landed during the feature will secure you 5 extra free spins.

iSoftBet Offers Bonus Chance and Megaboard

If you are planning to go fishing any time soon, you might be interested in Fishin’ for Gold, a five-reel video slot that comes from iSoftBet’s creative kitchen. Join a Penguin, a Polar Bear, Lion, and Walrus in their competition for catching the biggest fish. The 2020 release is packed with interesting additional features, but the first we will mention is the Bonus Chance feature.

Land two Goldfish Scatters and you will trigger the Bonus Chance. For a price of one spin, you can spin the Wheel and see whether you will enter the Fishin’ For Gold Bonus. With more Scatters collected for the Bonus Chance, you increase your chances of triggering the Bonus by spinning the Wheel. The Fishin’ For Gold Bonus is also quite exciting, since first you pick one of the four animals to go fishing and they will reel out free spins, multipliers and extra Wilds.

Racetrack Riches takes you to the Emerald Ilse, where you will be competing with leprechauns and their horses on the Megaboard. This will be extremely fun, because you will be rolling the dice, while the Jokey will be running across the board, collecting extras from every field he lands on.

Your biggest task will be to complete three laps before your opponent and to collect as many extras during the Megaboard Bonus, which is triggered by three Trophy Scatters. If you win the race, you will be given a chance to spin the trophies in the Big Money Bonus and win up to 5,000x triggering bet. The iSoftBet product will make you feel as if you are playing a board game and a video slot at the same time.

After Megaways Success Come Megaclusters

Some would say that Megaways and Megaclusters are the same game engine, but boy would they be wrong! The Megaclusters game engine will help you split winning clusters into smaller cells, giving you opportunities to land more wins in the same spin.

The Star Clusters Megaclusters video slot is the perfect example of what we are trying to say. Land a winning cluster of five or more horizontally or vertically adjacent matching icons and you will cause a reaction. Winning symbols will be replaced with four smaller icons, and will spin again for more wins, thanks to Megaclusters.

Reactions continue until there are no more winning clusters, and players can split every icon on the reels into four smaller ones, which will give you more opportunities for landing winning clusters. To trigger the Free Spins feature, players need to cause at least five successive winning reactions. Include a golden Wild in a winning combination, and the win multiplier will go up. If you like Megaways, you will love Megaclusters.
