New Slots Round Up: 6th June – 12th June 2026

By my reckoning, Le Prechaun is the 14th game in the Le series (including reskins) from Hacksaw. It’s not quite at Big Bass levels of repetition, but it’s fair to say that some players are getting bored of this IP, especially with some of the new releases barely bringing anything new to the table. So where does the punnily-named Le Prechaun fit into all of this?

This is similar to other previous versions, namely Le Fisherman. So it’s cluster pays (with volatility upped to medium), but it has introduced one new feature: Position Multipliers. It’s where any Wilds that are part of a win mark their square with a 2x multiplier frame, and this can multiply any more cluster wins that land on that spin. This square will also become a highlighted Golden Square, so the multiplier contributes if a Rainbow triggers Special symbols to land (Coins, Clovers etc) too. Plus, in the free spins, these Position Multipliers are sticky.

The bonus round plays out like the one in Le Fisherman – further FS Scatter symbols are recorded in a meter, unlocking more free spins and Position Multipliers (inspired by Big Bass). So while the new addition might seem small at first, it can have a big impact on your win totals. Of course, the theme is Irish, so it’s fun to see Smokey the Raccoon in a verdant forest, and Le Prechaun has done just about enough to warrant its existence.

Here’s another sequel, this time in Gaming Corps‘ all ways pays 3 Pigs series. Back in March last year, 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot was released. It wasn’t too amazing, but at least it came before this ‘3 pot’ mechanic oversaturated the market. More than a year on, we’re inundated with such games, so I was really hoping for a substantial progression in 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog.

We still have the Red, Yellow, and Blue pigs atop the grid, representing ‘Sync’, ‘Multi’, and ‘Extra’ flavors of the bonus round, but now to the left we have a meter which triggers a wheel spin once filled. There are more types of Collect symbol now too, creating higher base values in wins. There’s also a DemiHog symbol that can land in the free spins to upgrade the round. This is another game that does just enough to warrant a sequel (it’s actually quite complex), although if you don’t like 3 pot games, I wouldn’t bother in the first place.

It’s easy to think of our next slot as a Sugar Rush clone, but while Multi Rush from BGaming does use the cluster wins/doubling cell multiplier idea, it adds a couple of extra features into the mix. On any random spin, a multiplier can appear on the grid, boosting any overall wins further. Plus, in the free spins – where cell multipliers build over the course of the feature – Multi Sync Cells are created at the start of the round, and when wins land on any of these highlighted cells, the highest multiplier available in the chain is used for all cells.

These changes are subtle but they do help Multi Rush feel like its own game. And Sugar Rush is no longer available to sweeps players anyway (since Pragmatic Play pulled out of the vertical). Return to Player and maximum win are both about average here at 96.15% and 10,000x respectively, by the way.

Wildhalla from Slotmill has some great artwork and a spark of something great in the gameplay, but it just doesn’t have the X factor needed to make it truly replayable. In the base game it starts off as a simple, non-tumbling 40 payline game, but then Walking Wilds soon start to appear, triggering the associated respin sequence. These roaming Vikings start on the right of the grid with a random multiplier, and each respin moves them one space to the left.

If they make it all the way to the first reel without being called back (by a Reset symbol), they get removed from the board. Of course, you’ll be hoping they help form wins along their journeys, and with high multipliers (the multis go up when they’re involved in a win). But the problem is the multipliers usually don’t go very high – they generally get cut off around the 5x mark. Despite the game being rated highly volatile, it feels like there’s always a ceiling on the wins you can get here, and most players won’t be a fan of that idea.

Monster Quest from Big Time Gaming feels like another game that had potential, but when you get down to it, it’s just a generic Megaways/Hold & Win slot dressed up in fantasy clothing. Dragons, Monsters, and Knights work like Coin symbols, and landing 6 in the base game will trigger the Hold & Spin round.

Here, more Dragons, Monsters, and Knights land, and the Knight ‘fights’ certain Dragons and Monsters, absorbing their value and removing them from the grid – it’s like a glorified, selective Collect symbol really. Also many of the Dragons and Monsters have ridiculously high values but the Knight never takes them on, so what’s the point of them being on the board? Accordingly, the max win is a massive 99,900x, but good luck getting anywhere near that.

Game of the Week

Tanked 3 First Blood 2 is the sequel to Tanked released at the end of 2024. There was no Tanked 2 by the way – Nolimit City has skipped that one, going straight for a Rambo-influenced title!

The original was heavily based on ELK’s wildly successful Pirots series. I hesitate to call these slots – they’re more like self-playing strategy games, where you watch characters in tanks gather resources, upgrade themselves, and snowball into increasingly ridiculous combinations. It’s a very different feel to all the other slots we’ve covered in this round up, and – even for Nolimit City – there’s a LOT going on. Let’s cover the fundamentals here.

The grid has a 4-5-6-5-6-5-4 formation, with each square looking like a honeycomb cell. The main thing to look out for is whether the 4 characters are adjacent to gem symbols of the same color. For example, if the blue character is next to any blue gems, it will eat them up, scoring wins and picking up any other symbols along the way.

This could include Coins, Tank Boosters (Rocket, Loot Rocket, Grenade, Hatchet, Airstrike), Bombs, and more. These other items can be used against the other characters, or might even expand the grid. So each ‘spin’ can go on for quite a while as the action unfolds on screen. After the grid has settled, if there are spaces left, more symbols will tumble in – that’s when you remember this is technically a slot.

The important thing to note is that it’s mainly the Gems and Coins that score you wins – the rest of the action mainly reshapes the grid and the location and condition of the other characters.

3, 4, or 5 of the Bonus beer mugs will lead to the free spins where things stay largely the same, but with upgrades like sticky Coins (until collected). Overall, the RTP isn’t amazing at 95.99% but the maximum win is tasty at 25,548x.

Tanked 3 First Blood 2 is one of those games you have to play to ‘get’. ELK games like Pirots aren’t available to sweepstakes casino members, so the best alternative in this space is easily the Tanked series. Nolimit City has moved the franchise on here with plenty of fun updates from the original, and this is worth a session this weekend, at least.
