5 New Slot Releases to Watch Out for in December 2024

Dragon King Hot Pots (Pragmatic Play)

If you are a fan of the Reel King slot, you’ll be happy to know that Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom have joined forces to bring a fresh take on the original game with new features and an exciting twist. Dragon King Hot Pots boasts gameplay based on mini-slot features.

This Chinese-themed game is played on a standard 5×3 grid, with 10 paylines and a maximum win potential worth 5,000x. Moreover, it’s highly volatile, with an RTP of 96.54%. Once you initiate the game, you will see a shimmering lake in the golden light, with the grid proudly standing in the middle, surrounded by beams from the ancient gate. Four pots bursting with golden coins are at the top of the playing panel, promising the most lucrative prizes.

The symbols on the reels are card royals accompanied by a pair of coins and lanterns. Dragon King Hot Pots is not overflowing with features, but those few promise exciting gameplay and hefty wins. Aside from scatters and wilds, there is a Mini Slot Machine Bonus, activated by three scatters on the reels. The great thing is that this feature has a rising multiplier that can reward up to 50x.

Another lucrative feature is the Dragon King Hot Pots Slot, triggered randomly when the mini-slot machines get locked. This bonus game comes with even higher prizes worth up to 2,500x your bet.

Burgers (Big Time Gaming)

Big Time Gaming’s upcoming slot, Burgers, serves up a deliciously American-themed gaming experience that will leave players craving more. It is the direct sequel to the developer’s previous releases, Donuts, Chocolates, and Pop.

Set against the backdrop of a classic diner, Burgers combines retro visuals and an upbeat soundtrack to transport players to 1950s America. The game is played on a 4×4 gaming grid, featuring 256 paylines and an RTP of 96.41%. If you are lucky enough, you can win the jackpot worth 102,840x your stake.

Aside from the standard low-paying card royals, juicy burgers wrapped in different colored papers are the game’s high-paying symbols. The game also contains wilds and scatters and a few rewarding features.

One of them is the Bonus Reel — the additional row at the bottom of the main grid. If you land tomatoes, onions, lettuce, or ice cubes, you can win 2x–10x multipliers. Scatters will help you unlock the Free Spins round, but you need to land three or four of them on the reels first. You’ll get either 12 or 16 FS, and the Ice Cube Multipliers will increase by one each time you get a new scatter.

There is also the Win Exchange, allowing you to exchange 100x the bet for 12 free spins during the base game. If you win between 25x and 100x, you can opt for a gamble wheel to try to win those 12 FS. Keep in mind that you may also lose it all.

Reindeer Royale (ELK Studios)

If you believe that every wintery slot brings the magic of the holiday season and is set in a winter wonderland, think twice. ELK Studios opted for a gruesome take on the familiar theme, which portrays a group of thugs who killed and butchered the beloved red-nosed reindeer. Rudolph’s friends now seek revenge and are on a mission to defeat its killers.

Reindeer Royale features a 5×5 game matrix set in a dark forest amidst the mountains, where the only light comes from the old wooden shack. Reindeer Royale has 259 paylines and a slightly lower RTP of 94%. The eerie, high-paying symbols on the reels portray hunters, butchers, meat grinders, and trucks.

Aside from the well-known wilds and scatters, Reindeer Royale features cache symbols carrying different cash values when landing on the reels. Moreover, in combination with Reindeer symbols, they activate the respins.

Hitting three or more scatters takes you to the Free Spins round, where you can get up to 5 FS and three reindeer. Ghost is another interesting feature the game boasts — it triggers randomly on a free spin or a respin and at least two reindeer in view. There is also the X-iter, offering several different Bonus Buy options.

Gods Gone Wild (AvatarUX)

In video slots, gods are typically depicted causing mass destruction and firing lightning bolts at people, but not this time. AvatarUX has a new game, Gods Gone Wild, portraying these deities as playful and inviting players to join the fun.

This scatter-pays slot features a 5×6 gaming grid, an RTP of 96.06%, and a staggering win potential worth 10,000x. Based on Greek mythology, the gameplay takes place in a mighty temple during a lavish party. The grid takes center stage, with Zeus standing proudly on each side, wielding his lightning bolts.

As expected, the high-paying symbols include various deities. There are also cascades, wilds, scatters, and a few lucrative features. The multiplier Kegs symbol can pop up randomly in the base game and cascades during free spins, awarding multipliers worth from 2x to 100x.

Four or more scatters on the reels initiate the Free Spins mode, granting up to 15 FS. The best part is that you can retrigger this feature, win up to 6 additional FS, and activate the Party Time Mode, thanks to the progression bar that collects all the wins in one place.

Golden Fish Tank Party (Yggdrasil Gaming)

Are you a fan of Finding Nemo? Yggdrasil Gaming has what you’re looking for — the studio’s upcoming slot, Golden Fish Tank Party, dives into an underwater celebration filled with exciting gameplay.

This vibrant slot is set in a lively fish tank teeming with colorful aquatic creatures, bubbles, and festive decorations, with a cheerful soundtrack that evokes a whimsical atmosphere. This 6×4 reel slot offers up to 4,096 paylines. It is a high-volatility game with a lower RTP of 94% and a maximum win potential of 6,000x.

The game symbols are colorful shells and fish. There is a wild (which only appears in the bonus game) and a scatter. The game has a host of exciting features, including Cash and Collect symbols, carrying value between 0.5x and 20x your bet. Cash symbols can land in the base game without the Collect symbols, and each adds a multiplier to the Multiplier Collection bar.

Scoring at least three scatters initiates the Free Spins mode and one of the two randomly chosen rounds — the Cash Party Free Spins and Wild Party Free Spins. Both are highly rewarding, with plenty of free spins, respins, and multipliers.
