Best Rated Slots to Play in 2021 So Far

New year doesn’t necessarily mean new experiences, and this is very true when it comes to the online casino industry. To date, the most popular slots to play include some titles that have been around for years – take Starburst by NetEnt for example, it first emerged in 2013 and almost 8-years later, it still remains one of the most exciting games to play, and this is despite it’s basic 5-reel engine relying on base game wins and base game wins only! It’s just ‘another’ year, but a year that can produce eye-watering wins through fun-filled features, so without further ado, let us take a look at the games that only seem to be growing in popularity.

#1 – Book of Dead Slot

Reels: 5

Ways to Win: 10

Free Spins: Yes

Maximum Win: 5,000x your stake

Bonus Game: No

Other Features: Wilds, Scatters

Cascading Symbols? No

RTP: 94.25%

Release Date: 14.01.2016

Software Behind the Game: Play’N Go

 

Book of Dead is an ancient Egyptian themed slot that promises epic wins for those who manage to tempt Rich Wilde onto the reels. Symbols on the reels are very in-keeping with the theme with a few iconic symbols thrown in for good measure. Scatters and wilds are very much the same symbol – the book of dead, and when three appear, 10 free spins are granted. Before your free games get underway, the book chooses a symbol at random to become an expanding symbol – all instances of this appearing will expand for soaring wins! Now, low value symbols will require at least three symbols anywhere in view to launch the expanding feature, while higher paying symbols only require 2. Land a Rich Wilde on all reels – anywhere, and that top 5,000x multiplier is all yours!

#2 – Reactoonz Slot

Reels: 5×5 Grid

Ways to Win: Cluster pays

Free Spins: No

Maximum Win: £75,000

Bonus Game: No

Other Features: Wilds, Scatters, Multipliers, 5 Power-Ups, Colossal Symbols

Cascading Symbols? Yes

RTP: 94.51%

Release Date: 24.10.2017

Software Behind the Game: Play’N Go

Cluster Pays slots work differently to your usual video slot and Reactoonz is one of those where wins are generated on 5 or more matching symbols. As long as they’re touching horizontally and/or vertically that is. Once winning symbols have been evaluated, they will be removed from the grid to make way for new ones. Sounds similar to that of a Megaways cascading reel engine, only it’s not! Bonuses on this one are unique and in order to generate some sort of free spins, you need to supercharge that meter. But first, the instability feature could kick in on any spin and drop 4 to 8 wilds symbols into the grid to help achieve winning combination. More wins = more supercharging and when you reach a certain level you can benefit from multipliers, symbols of 2×2 and even 3×3. Morphing of symbols is another popular feature, but we will leave that as a surprise!

#3 – Reel King Mega Slot

Reels: 5

Ways to Win: 20

Free Spins: No

Maximum Win: 500x

Bonus Game: Yes

They don’t come more exciting than Reel King Mega, the Red Tiger slot with a must drop jackpot mechanic! That’s right! This game offers an hourly, daily and base game jackpot as well as a progressive that is set to drop before reaching a certain level and a jackpot that keeps on growing until it decides to pay. Bonuses are simple; you have wilds and a random feature where the crown drops onto the reels to add wilds. If the reels turn gold – all 5 of them (listen out for the dings!), the regal king appears with a 1×3 slot machine (many could appear!) for a shot at enhanced prizes!

#4 – Immortal Romance Slot

Microgaming’s Immortal Romance is another fine example of how an old slot can still provide plenty of thrills even some 10-years after launching! A plot based on the forbidden love, lust and entanglement sees players seeking out big wins, but in order to do this, you must help Sarah (the main character) come up with a cure for vampirism! She’s fallen for her professor who just happens to love blood a little more than usual, his mate who is also a vampire is after her friend. It’s a great little story and one you can follow by reading a little bit about each of the characters while playing. Random features can trigger and once you have unlocked all reel achievements, you can benefit from a total of four free spins bonuses!

Fu Fortunes Megaways invites you to explore the potential riches within oriental China. The Megaways reel engine hides cascading symbols, multipliers, wilds, free spins, a pick and click bonus where you are guaranteed one of four pre-set jackpots and a random explosive win feature. Watch the symbols on the reels for the oriental red text – these are gathered and are added to one of five golden pots positioned to the top of the reels. Pots 1, 2, 4 and 5 hide multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x to boost wins while pot 3 – the biggest, offers one of four jackpots. Lift the lid on pot 3 and here you will be required to chose multiple golden coins to reveal their corresponding jackpot. The bonus ends when you match three identical jackpot icons which will result in you winning that said jackpot. The other feature is the free spins; 4 green oriental icons award the spins where all low value symbols will be removed. Keep your eyes peeled for fireworks and the presence of the king – this awards a whopping great win each time!
