New Slots Round Up: 27th June – 3rd July 2026

I don’t always review TaDa/JILI slots because there are so many of them and they’re usually quite similar, but seeing as this feels like one of the quieter weeks in recent memory, let’s take a look at TaDa’s offering this week.

Lucky Cerol 500 seems to be another slot based around a Brazilian streamer personality – we had Fortune Yuri 500 from the same studio featuring Yuri22 last year, and this time Lucky Cerol 500 features Lucio dos Santos Lima AKA Cerol. This game is a fairly simple one with 3 reels and 5 paylines, but Super Wilds, Multiplier Wilds, and Cash Wilds keep things moving. There’s a changing multiplier off to the side of the grid too – it applies when each of the 9 symbols on the grid are involved in wins. Still, there’s not much to truly excite players here.

Ottoman Treasures from TaDa brings in a Special Reel above the main 5×3 grid, and if a Bonus coin lands on reels 1, 3, or 5, the corresponding symbol on the Special Reel comes into play. That could be free spins, jackpot sums, or the advantage of spreading the same symbol across reels 2-4 to make wins more likely. If you do land the free spins, the remaining 2 reels of the Special Reel get unlocked, upping your chances of Bonus coins hitting. It’s a neat concept and feels like the kind of creativity TaDa could employ more often.

Iron Sight seems to be a reskin of Hacksaw classic Duel at Dawn for selected casinos only. Duel at Dawn is still one of the most popular slots ever, and arguably Hacksaw’s best cowboy slot, so it’s always great to revisit. Not much has changed here apart from the name, some minor alterations to the visuals, and an improved RTP. That last point is most welcome though, taking the game from 96.30% to 97.47% – that’s pretty significant, especially with many slots failing to make it past the 97% mark these days. I had a great test session on this reskin, maxing out the demo bet wager at 50 and running the Deadly Duels FeatureSpin to guarantee at least 2 VS Reels on every spin.

Wonder of Circus from Backseat Gaming is set in a theme park in the clouds with symbols such as a laughing clown, candy apple, and popcorn bucket on wheels – that last one is a little strange but let’s go with it. The game itself is rather simple with 15 paylines on a 5×5 grid, so you’re mainly waiting for the Lucky Wheel symbol to land and spice things up – or so I thought.

This symbol produces a wheel spin and whatever number you land on is apparently the number of Wild Reels that should appear for a respin – that’s according to the rules. But in the test version I played, those Wild Reels never appeared. The Lucky Wheels landed pretty infrequently too, so this turned out to be a very boring slot that could be broken too? I’m not sure what’s happening with Backseat – this studio used to be one of my favorites, but since its split with Hacksaw things have felt off somehow.

Lucky Tiger 2, the third slot from TaDa this week, is the sequel to Lucky Tiger from a year ago. In that game, we had 5 paylines on a 3×3 grid and the ability for Stacked Reels where 3 of the same symbol would land on 1 reel. And when that did happen, if the Stacked Reel formed a win, the multiplier held by the tiger would be used.

In Lucky Tiger 2 it’s a similar story, but now we have a Special Reel above the grid (much like in Ottoman Treasures), and the multis shown here (plus the multiplier held by the tiger) can be pulled in when a Stacked Reel forms a win. It’s not a bad little slot – better than the TaDa average. 97.00% RTP is decent, while the 5,000x max win is just average.

Max Win Machine from Hacksaw is perhaps what happens when slots reach their logical conclusion. Who needs all the fancy mechanics and bells and whistles? Let’s just have 3 reels and 3 possibilities, with one of them being the max win. Yes, all that’s available in this 3-reeler is dead symbols or 7s. 1 7 gets you 1x, 2 7s gets you 10x, and 3 7s gets you 10,000x. Strangely, the game still finds ways to crowbar in bonus buys where you can do things like…up the chance of landing 7s.

It feels like a tongue-in-cheek slot on one hand, but it is also similar to some of the simple originals-type games you’ll see at online casinos these days, perhaps reflecting easier concepts for the influx of new players – or just for those times when even experienced players want something easy to digest. However, I didn’t really like this; the art of playing a great, creative slot is something I enjoy, and it’s completely lacking here. RTP is 96.22% while the max win is – of course – 10,000x.

Game of the Week

Wild Bison Stampede is not normally the standard of slot we feature in Game of the Week, but it’s slim pickings this week – so here we are.

It’s not a bad slot per se – it’s very rare to see that from Slotmill as there’s always a certain level of competence to the gameplay and the visuals – but this is basically a reskin of Fortune Pandas from just over a year ago. I mean, that game itself wasn’t the most exciting, with random Stacked Wilds being the main attraction, but Slotmill clearly thought it was good enough for a reskin here.

The theme has been transported from China to North America with most of the usual array of wild animals, although we don’t always see raccoons, so that gave me a smile. Then there’s a rocking blues-style soundtrack, and arguably the best feature of this game is the voiceover which will interject now and then with phrases like “C’mon now!” and “Round ’em up!” It gives the game some personality, for sure.

As for the gameplay, it’s fine, but nothing we haven’t seen before. As I mentioned above, we’re talking Wilds and Stacked Wilds that can help form wins on the 40 paylines. If you land 3 Bonus symbols you’ll kick off the free spins where Wilds and Stacked Wilds become sticky, making wins even more likely, but those wins are never guaranteed.

Players can probably have most fun with Fast Track bonus buy options, selecting things like guaranteed Stacked Wilds for 40x the wager. So don’t come here looking for crazy innovation, but you will find another competent slot from Slotmill with a pretty fun take on the North American theme.
