Best Slot Releases for October You Should Try Now

Pirots X (ELK Studios)

Brace yourselves this October, as ELK Studios is releasing the fourth installment of the Pirots saga — Pirots X. The previous releases (Pirots, Pirots 2 and Pirots 3) were huge successes, so players have high expectations of this one, too.

Pirots X transports you to a rocky ravine along a river that leads out to sea, surrounded by lush vegetation and treasure chests. The game features four piratical birds that ended up on a forgotten island following a treasure map. The adventurous soundtrack, accompanied by the cheering of the pirate crew, perfectly complements the atmosphere.

PirotsX is played on a 5×5 gaming grid, with the possibility to expand to 7×7. The game’s RTP sits at 94%, and it is a highly volatile title with a staggering maximum win of 10,000x. When it comes to symbols, there are colorful gemstones and variations of the four birds as gems.

Pirots X sheds the unique CollectR mechanic seen in the previous installment and replaces it with conventional Cluster Pays, where you need 5 symbols to score a win. The game is feature-rich and includes wild and giant symbols, bonus drops, free spins, and feature buy (X-iter).

Players will probably be most interested in free spins awarded in the bonus game. Pirots X boasts not one but two types — standard and super free spins.

Brute Force (Nolimit City)

If you are a fan of 80s and 90s video games, Nolimit City’s upcoming video slot, Brute Force, may be right up your alley. The game resembles the 8-bit arcades where you had to insert a coin or two to get them started.

Once set in motion, players will find themselves in a pixelated landscape, with towering skyscrapers in the background. The music, characteristic of classic video games, and the semi-transparent reels add to the retro vibe.

Brute Force is played on a 5×5 gaming area with 21 paylines and an RTP of 96.08%. The low-paying symbols are card royals, while the high-paying ones are orange, blue, yellow, red, and green warriors. The games have plenty of lucrative features, and if played right, they can bring you the highly sought-after prize of 40,000x your stake.

There are three types of xNudge wilds, each with a multiplier, while the xNudge meter keeps track of the total multiplier values. Three scatters on the reels activate 10 free spins or Brute spins. However, landing 4 scatters triggers Super Brute spins, where xNudge wilds may turn sticky.

If you want to speed up your entry to the bonus round, you can leverage the xBet feature. There is also Feature Buy, which opens the doors directly to some features for a price.

3 Gladiators vs Caesar (Yggdrasil Gaming)

Yggdrasil Gaming takes us back to the Julius Caesar and gladiator era in its upcoming slot game — 3 Gladiators vs Caesar. Played in an enormous gladiator arena, possibly the Colosseum, the game’s aim is to defeat this famous emperor.

The semi-transparent 5×3 gaming area takes center stage, surrounded by a golden eagle-adorned roof and two massive gladiator statues. The dramatic music creates a thrilling atmosphere, while the cheering spectators add to the excitement.

3 Gladiators vs Caesar has 20 paylines, and its RTP is 94%. This medium-volatility game features different gladiator coins as symbols, where a female and two male gladiators are the highest-paying. Plus, there are wild and scatter icons.

The game has only three features — Gladiator, bonus buy, and free spins. Landing two scatters in the base game triggers the Gladiator feature, which introduces more wilds.

Three scatters on the reels open the door to the free spins mode, which can award up to 600x your bet, but you must choose one of the two modes — Training or Deathmatch free spins mode. The first one awards 8 free spins, and the latter guarantees three levels, each with a multiplier. If you play everything right, you can win the maximum prize worth 2,930x your bet.

Baron Lord of Saturday (Play’n GO)

Are you up for a night out partying at the local graveyard? Play’n GO has just the game for you — Baron Lord of Saturday. The host of the party is Baron Samedi, the spirit of the dead in Haitian Vodou, famous for drinking, smoking, and partying, as well as being a patron of death.

Set inside a dark and eerie cemetery with skeletons popping everywhere, Baron Lord of Saturday is played on a 5×4 game matrix with 20 paylines. Although there are skulls and candles with dripping wax, the game has a friendly mood reminiscent of the old Scooby Doo cartoons.

Baron Lord of Saturday has an RTP of 96.2% and symbols including a Baron’s hat, a redhead woman, a voodoo doll, a cigar and rum, and Baron Samedi himself. However, if you are here for big wins, watch out for wilds, a random wild bonus, expanding wild reels, and free spins.

Aside from regular wilds, you can score three to six random ones on reels 2, 3, and 4. These reels are also called wild reels and can be triggered on any spin and expand vertically.
Hitting two scatters on reels 1 and 5 initiates the free spin round, which initially awards 8 FS. The best thing is that you can also get multipliers of up to 10x for the duration of the feature.

The Dog House Muttley Crew (Pragmatic Play)

Dog lovers, have you heard that Pragmatic Play is releasing another sequel to the uber-famous Dog House saga? The new installment, The Dog House Muttley Crew, brings back the same old characters, but they now wear pirate hats.

The game takes place on a pirate ship sailing on a calm sea. The 5×5 gaming area that takes center stage is tucked into a wooden frame and decorated with lanterns and rudders. The Dog House Muttley Crew is a cluster pay video slot with a 96.5% RTP and a maximum prize worth 7.500x your stake. Aside from the card royals, the game has well-known symbols — blue dog, purple dog, dog bone, beige dog, and turquoise dog.

The title is not very big on features, so you can only rely on wilds, free spins, and a feature buy for more lucrative wins. The wild symbol replaces all the other symbols (except scatter) and comes with a 2x–10x multiplier value.

On the other hand, the free spin round is triggered by landing three or more scatters anywhere across the grid. Depending on the number of scatters you score, you can win a direct 2x payout and 10, 15, or 20 FS. Landing an additional 2–5 scatters retriggers this feature and guarantees a further 5, 10, 20, or 30 FS. And if you want to buy yourself a direct entrance into the bonus round, you can do it with a payment of 100x, 250x, or 500x your stake.

Almighty Bear Megaways (Blueprint Gaming)

Although brown bears are one of the toughest species in the animal kingdom, don’t be afraid, as Blueprint Gaming presents them to us only in pixelated form. The developer’s new slot game, Almighty Bear Megaways, is a nature-inspired slot that introduces us to forest wildlife.

Taking place in a dark forest where blue lights float from the bottom of the screen, the game has a slightly magical feel, but still, the 6-reel, 2–7-row gaming area displays raging wild animals. There are up to 117,649 paylines thanks to the Megaways mechanics, and the RTP is 95%.

Almighty Bear Megaways features cascading wins, meaning that the winning symbols are removed from the grid and replaced by others falling down. The low-paying symbols are colorful card suits, while the higher-paying ones include a wolf, a deer, a lynx, a leopard, and a bear.

When it comes to features, players can expect mystery symbols, free spins with increasing multipliers, a gamble feature, and a feature buy. Mystery symbols can pop up in any position on the grid, and they all reveal the same random symbol type.

Almighty Bear Megaways requires you to land four free spins in the base game to initiate the bonus round. Once in, you will get 12 FS, but for any additional scatter, you are awarded 5 more FS. Free spins offer a win multiplier, starting at 1x and increasing by +1 with every cascade.

If you like to gamble, use the gamble feature before the free spins round begins. You can play through all your starting spins and win the amount displayed on the screen. But be careful, as you might also lose them all in an instant.
