Loe seda artiklit eesti keeles siin

Pragmatic Play is joining the forces with its first real Megaways slot. Great Rhino Megaways offers up to 200,704 ways to win and comes with several Free Spins volatility settings.

Overview

Megaways slots are licensed from Big Time Gaming and Pragmatic has now acquired a license for this new slot. They have played it quite safe and releasing a familiar slot with Great Rhino concept that you might have seen from William Hill and Pragmatic earlier. This new variant is quite nice, but dont offer that much new in the gaming front.

Visually you will see the same African layout that is already in the previous games with some exotic background sounds and drum effects. Basicly this slot is a perfect example how Megaways slot works and looks.

Game Play

This slot is played with 6 reels and they have 2-7 symbols on them. The familiar bonus reel is located above reels 2-5. And no surprise here, when a winning combination is achieved, it will trigger a chain reaction where the winning symbols are removed and new symbols will cascade into the empty slots. This will continue until there is no winning combinations.

Features

It is all about Free Spins here. Golden Rhino is functioning as scatter, and you need atleast 4 of them to trigger the free spins feature. Here is a small change though, you can choose from 4 different Free Spins modes:

15 free spins with starting multiplier 1x.
10 free spins with a starting multiplier of 5x.
5 free spins with a starting multiplier of 10x.
Mystery: Will award random number of free spins and random multiplier to start with.

Every tumble/cascade during the free spins will increase the multiplier by 1 and there is no upper limit. Free Spins are re-triggered if you get 4 or more scatters and will then add 5 extra free spins.

There is also a extra feature which is called Ante Bet. When available, player can increase the bet which adds more scatter to the reels and doubles the chance of free spins. This feature is not available in all countries. In some cases, you have also possibility to buy the Free Spins feature.

Chanz verdict

Great Rhino Megaways is not bringing that much new to the table. Pragmatic Play has taken the safe route here for their first release in this genre, and we think it is a good approach. This is a well done Megaways slot with smooth animations and slick gameplay. Max win is also up to 20,000 times your stake so there is a good potential in this game. Only negative side might be the volatility, this slot has been classed as extreme volatile with 10/10 so there will be lots of dead spins in the base game. All the magic will happen in Free Spins mode. Come to chanz.com and test this slot when its released!

Play’n Go is back with its 6th slot on heavy metal series. This time it is time for the Canadian thrash metal band Annihilator to feature this new slot. They have been around over 35 years and released 17 records but have never been in big leagues. There is only one member who have been in the band from the beginning, Jeff Waters. Rest of the members have changed frequently to chase new careers, like in the band Spinal Tap.

Overview

If we compare this slot to the previous one, Testament, it feels a more calm and relax with its theme. It simple looks littlebit more like a regular slot. This is propably a good thing, if you think about average slot players. It is an entertaining slot with smooth graphics and spooky music. This game uses 3 rows, 5 reels and 10 paylines. It is classified as high variance with score 8/10.

Features

Fun palace: When you land Doll scatters to reels 2, 3 and 4 you will trigger this pick feature. Simply pick a doll to reveal prizes. When you reveal a reward higher than 10x the feature will end and win is collected. If you collect free spins scatter during this feature, the Set the World on Fire feature is launched.

Set the World on Fire Free spins: Land 3 scatters anywhere during the base game. 8 free spins are awarded with expanding wild which will be visible all the time. This wild will move randomly left or right during the spins. It can then expand between 1-3 symbols in height. If it lands on highlighted position, the whole trail will turn to wilds. Any scatter that lands during this mode, will bring you 2 more free spins.

Command: This feature pops randomly during the regular game play. When it is activated, any wild symbol on screen expands to cover a reel. If there is no wins, there will be a respins until a win is achieved.

Chanz verdict:

Well, after playing the Testament, Annihilator is music to our ears, not as loud and more comfortable to play. It also has huge win potential with 5,000x the stake. Annihilator is an old band, and that feeling has been transferred to this slot. We could describe it as a warm-up band for the other heavy metal themed slots released lately. It has good features and is very playable for all players, so try your luck today at chanz.com !

Im sure everyone remembers Berry Burst Max from NetEnt? This slot used 5×3 grid and cluster pays. Well, take that slot and change the symbols and you get East Sea Dragon King. It seems to be popular now just to revamp some old slots with the Asian theme.

Basics

The slot has marine theme as you can guess from its name. Actually, the Dragon King referred here actually exists in Chinese culture and goes with name Au Guang. This Dragon is bringing fortune to everyone who sees it, thats why it is very suitable to a slot like this.

East Sea Dragon King has 5 reels and 3 rows with cluster pay system. Cluster pay means that when 5 or more symbols are connected anywhere on the grid, you will win. Maximum combination is 15 of a kind of the same symbol. This slot has set to high volatility.

Features

Well, there is not much happening here. There is a wild and respin feature.

The wild can appear during the base game and respins. As it says, it will substitute any symbols and if it lands during the regular game it will transform to an expanding one.
The expanding wilds will cover an entire reel and will also trigger a respins while staying locked. If you get more wilds during the respins, surprise surprise, you will get another respins.

Verdict

This slot is very volatile but it still have possibility to win up to 6,000x your stake. Due the volatility, you can expect lots of dead spins. Otherwise, there is nothing new in this release expect the graphics and sounds. If you are into high volatility slots and Asian theme this is your game (or BerryBurst Max). Otherwise you might want to check some other games that you can find from chanz.com !

Thunderkick is coming back with a 2nd version of its Beat the beast series. First one was ofcourse Kraken’s Lair. The Mighty Sphinx is taking completly another direction, and is not anywhere near the sea. It is located in the ancient Egypt, which is a popular theme currently with all game providers.

Overview

The Mighty Sphinx looks very similar to Kraken’s Lair. Well, ofcourse the theme in the background has changed and the symbols, but even the setup is the same with 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 paylines. Highest paying symbol is the Sphinx who will give you 250x your stake for five of a kind. Kraken is worth half of this.

Thunderkick has classified this slot as highly volatile, even higher than the Kraken’s Lair.

Features

Mystery feature can start randomly on the base game. When activated, up to 3 wilds/scatters are placed on any reels.

Free Spins feature starts when 3 Sphinx Emblems appear anywhere on the reels. It starts with 10 spins and on every spins 1-3 Emblems are place randomly on the reels.

Chanz verdict

There is no major issues with this new release, but it is not anything magnificient either. It has quite high potential with it the max win of 4,444 the stake, but it is still lower than the 1st edition Kraken’s Lairs. It has great entertaining potential with decent wins, so try this slot at chanz.com when it is released!

Play’n Go already has a quite many slots within the Joker series but it seems that new slots are still developed within this niche.

Overview

We all know the Fire Joker, which is the most popular slot in this series. You might wonder if we still need a new one, but this one is littlebit different as you can already guess from the name.

The game is played in classix 3×3 setup, no surprises there. Paytable is including the usual symbols like cherries, grapes and lemons, bars and lucky 7’s. Lucky Seven is valuable symbol, 5 of them will pay you 5 x your stake. Since there is only 5 paylines and with these you can land 3 kind of combos of five of a kind.

The slot has been classified as medium in volatility so it has decent action most of the time to keep it interesting.

Features

The main symbol here is the Joker, which is also a wild and pays 8 x your stake when you get three of them. When you get one or more Joker, the will lock and Re-Spin will start. If a new Wild/Joker appears, it will also become sticky, and you will be awarded a new Re-Spin. This feature continues until no more new wilds are locked in the reels.

If you get 4 or more wilds/joker during the Re-Spins, the multiplier wheel is activated. This wheel has values of x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10 and it is applied to the total wins during your Re-Spins.

Chanz verdict

While this game does not bring that much new to table, it is a nice way to spice up the old version. The Re-Spin function is really nice especially when you hit the multiplier wheel. And as the game is quite ok in volatility also, it is nice way to spend some time at chanz.com !

In the corners, there is blockers which can be removed when certain points are achieved and the full potential of this game is revealed with a free grid that has whopping 7776 ways to win.

This slot is set to medium volatility and has stamp of 3.5/ 5 on variance. The game is boosted with the Tumble system, that we know for example from NetEnt’s all time classic, Gonzos Quest. This means, that when there is a winning combination, it will be removed from the screen and new symbols will “tumble” to the screen causing a cascade reaction.

Features

Symbol unlocking feature will release one blocker after two succesfull “Tumble”. So in clear text you need to win 2 times in a row to remove one blocker. When one of the corner blockers is removed, it will then launch one of the other features.

Mystery symbols will be added to the grid when you unlock the left corner blocker. These will then be transforming to a paying symbols randomly.

Transforming symbols will launch when you release the top right blocker. It will transform 3 lowest paying symbols on the grid to high pay symbols.

Expanding symbols will start when you unblock the bottom left or right corner. Reels 1 & 2 or 4 & 5 will combine and big expanded symbol will land.

Free Spins are launched when you clear all 4 corners. It will give you 5 spins and uses the whole grid. These free spins cant be retriggered. During the free spins there will be functions randomly applied that were described earlier.

Chanz verdict

When we tested this slot, we were not that excited of the basic features, and the best one to win is of course the Free Spins. This game has huge wining potential with up to 19000 x stake and with its relative low variance, it is quite fun to play anyway since there is lots of happening in the screen.
