New Slots Round Up: 4th April – 10th April 2026

It’s another packed week of new slots, with familiar names and returning series, but will they outshine the newer ideas?

Monopoly Megapots by Big Time Gaming follows on Monopoly Rush Hour, Monopoly Tapcards, and Monopoly Deluxe in recent months – Big Time is really making the most of this IP. It’s combining the brand with the Megapots concept now – so a Megaways style grid and three ever-changing jackpots.

The base game is pretty dry, but the Monopoly IP starts to come into play in the Hold & Win round with Houses merging into Hotels which collect Coins, plus Property Cards merging into jackpots. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s competent fun, and with a max of 98,850x, it’s worth a few spins to see if you can win big.

Bling Blitz Diamond Drop by BGaming feels similarly flashy, but it’s a more simple affair in terms of its core gameplay. Landing any symbol on the middle row on any of the three reels scores a win – pretty basic. However, collecting Diamonds can trigger one of the 3 features that sit atop the grid. Indeed, we have yet another ‘3 pot’ game. Jackpot Spins award jackpots, while Colossal Spins offer giant symbols, and Hold ‘n’ Win switches to a 3 x 3 grid with locked coin values.

Derby Rush, also from BGaming, will probably remind you of Big Bass, unless you’ve been lucky enough to escape that series over the past few years. But instead of a fishing lake experience, we’re now at the races. There’s not much new going on gameplay-wise, but this is low to medium volatility, so if you want to feel like you’re winning plenty, even if the wins are low, give this horsey slot a go!

Magic Piggy OG is a strange release, especially when you consider it’s from Hacksaw – we’d normally expect a lot better from this legendary studio. It’s a sequel to Magic Piggy, a fun slot from back in 2023, but everything here has been scaled down. Normally slots get better as a series goes on, but this one is objectively worse. A smaller grid, less paylines, less lights to illuminate and trigger Piggies in the bonus round, a lower max win, less bonus buy options… Why you wouldn’t just play the original is beyond me.

And Sand and Ashes is another flat one from Hacksaw this week – very unusual. It’s just not that exciting, with a theme that’s been done many times before in slots. The Wild Scarab Multiplier is the main special feature with values ranging from 2x-200x. You can look to this week’s Game of the Week for a better use of a multiplier wild.

Wrapping up this section, Punk Rocker 3 from Nolimit City is the sequel to Punk Rocker and Punk Rocker 2 – who’d have guessed! But a few things have changed and it’s the weakest entry in the series.

There’s still plenty going on, maybe a bit too much – Punk Rocker 3 just doesn’t create enough excitement for the amount of visual business present on-screen. You’ve got the 6 x 3 board, with the Enhancer Train at the top (offering various benefits related to the Wilds on the grid), and the Wild Queue at the bottom (storing Wilds that are ready to jump onto the grid). As you can probably tell, everything revolves around Wilds, and there’s a max win of 19,089x that might tempt you into some spins, but it’s not even the highest max this week.

Game of the Week

Demon’s Gate from Slotmill plays things fairly straightforward to begin with – this is a tumbling cluster pays slot over a 5 x 5 grid with high volatility and an RTP of 96.02%.

The base games passes by without much fanfare, but the Multiplier Wild is introduced with the ability to boost cluster wins by 3x, 10x, 20x, 30x, or 100x. Also, once it’s helped form a win, its value jumps up by its base value, then it roams to a new part of the grid – Slotmill love roaming symbols like this and it certainly adds dynamism to Demon’s Gate.

Then things really kick up a notch or two in the free spins. Trigger this feature by landing 3 or more Bonus symbols, and now a new meter above the grid is revealed.

You can build this meter by attacking the demon mask Bonus symbols, and by doing so you boost the value of the ever-present roaming Multiplier Wild. You also increase the amount of free spins, so you’ll be hoping for plenty of those demon heads to power your round up. Once the Multiplier Wild gets up to around 30x and registers a couple of cluster wins on the same spin, you’ll be looking at a multiplier value of 90x – as you can imagine some big wins might come your way.

The art style here has a modern comic book vibe, and it goes really well with the epic Japanese samurai vs. demon theme. As usual, Slotmill have nailed the atmosphere and cinematic feel, with excellent, immersive animations. It feels like more involved than just a slot at times, as the samurai slices the demon masks in half to power some big wins.

Demon’s Gate is one of those games that’s easy to pick up and learn, but hard to put down. The max win of 10,000x is not that impressive relative to the other titles this week, but the Super Free Spins Bonus where you have two Multiplier Wilds might really get your blood pumping!
