New Slots Round Up: 10th January – 16th January 2026

We’re fully back into the swing of things with 10 new slots to round up, including many sequels and reskins. Let’s take a look.

Wild Woof Returns from Gaming Corp plumbs the same theme as The Dog House – Dog or Alive. Namely, dogs as cowboys, although here the bad guys shown on the ‘Wanted’ poster are cats! In fact, this slot is a sequel to Wild Woof from back in 2023, so it does precede The Dog House’s foray into the Wild West.

There’s now an extra reel on the grid, but apart from that it’s the same kind of game as the prequel – all ways pays with global multipliers landing from time to time. Unfortunately, the RTP has dipped a little, along with the max win. Still, it’s not the worst slot you could play this week.

Olympus 7s Dream Drop from Relax has an ever lower RTP at 94.00%, which is never what we like to see. The theme is obviously connected to Ancient Greece, with appearances from some of the most popular gods from the pantheon. The visuals and animations are arguably the best thing about this title, but what about the gameplay?

The base games works as an all ways pays slot on a 6 x 4 grid, while the bonus game revolves around ‘Mini Slots’. These are eye-catching symbols that land on the main grid then spin like classic 3-reelers, building up wins for you one after another. For me, it’s a little flat and cumbersome overall.

Duck Hunters: Happy Hour is a sequel to Duck Hunters, one of my (and many other’s) favorite games from Nolimit City in recent times. Unfortunately, barely anything has changed for this release. NLC does tend to do these subtle sequels, but it’s especially hard to spot much that’s changed here. Maybe the way the Bomb reveals a new random symbol, plus some updated visuals, and then a slight tweak to some stats. Other than that, there’s not too much new to see. Of course, it’s still a great game.

Crypto Bro from AvatarUX is definitely NSFW. As you can probably tell from the title, it parodies much of what’s trending in the world of trashy, influencers these days, but with a few quite risqué graphics and animations. It’s the third all ways pays game so far in this round up, and the bonus feature is achieved by landing 3 or more Bonus symbols.

Here, Moving Wilds come to the fore, shifting around the board to create wins, and when they expire, they add cash to the Wilds Collector, which unleashes a Whale Spin at the end of the round. It’s actually an interesting rhythm, but the overt theme won’t be to everyone’s taste.

3 Power Dragons, also from AvatarUX, is a return to a more expected slot theme, but the gameplay is also more low key. The action takes place on a small 3 x 3 grid with just 5 paylines, and there’s not technically a bonus round, just the opportunity for different Multiplier Wilds via the three different colored dragons.

Big Time Gaming is a provider with some of the biggest brand collaborations in the business, and this time we have a sequel to Monopoly Megaways in the form of Monopoly Deluxe. This new version looks very similar to the old one on the surface, and the grid is still Megaways-style, but once you start playing you’ll realize there are quite a few fundamental changes.

Now the Monopoly guy doesn’t move around the board when you win, he moves on every spin, and there’s no sense of building up houses or hotels for free spins like before – now the amount of houses on a property signifies a multiplier. In some ways it’s a more streamlined game, and in others it’s lost that sense of ‘playing Monopoly’. Still this can be a lot of fun!

To cut a long story short, Zeus Ze Zecond from Hacksaw is a reskin of Le Zeus, rather than a sequel to 2024’s Ze Zeus. The visual style here is amazing, but the gameplay is something we’ve definitely seen before, down to a T. Basically, if you enjoyed Le Zeus and its ‘Mystery Reveals’ (called ‘Wonder Reveals’ here), you’ll likely enjoy this!

Next up is Tiki Thunder from Slotmill, clocking in with a massive potential 40,000x max win. It’s a very Slotmill game, with major similarities to the Ragnarok/Emberfall series. Essentially, your global multiplier doubles with each cluster win and resets with each spin, but when you get to the bonus round, the multiplier doesn’t reset – it builds over the course of the round to potentially lead to some giant wins.

I really enjoyed the dark Tiki theme here, and the visuals and animations are excellent – as we’ve come to expect form this studio – but it is hard to escape the fact that we’ve seen this very mechanic multiple times before from Slotmill.

Rounding out this section is Pharaoh’s Last Wish from Relax Gaming. It’s another cluster pays game, this time on a 6 x 5 grid, and there’s a strong progressive feel. This is because each win fills up meters at the top of the screen, so you can work your way through each, unlocking bonuses features as you go.

But it’s a strange type of progression because the bonus round isn’t even available till you’ve reached Level 5, which takes quite a long time. The beauty of most slots is that you can often hit big suddenly, whereas this feels like a strange, long grind. If you want something with a similar idea but better execution, I recommend Big Fruit Theory, a recent release from Popiplay, (which actually imitates Gems Bonanza).

Game of the Week

Some weeks it’s tricky to pick the Game of the Week, but this time it wasn’t – Suck is easily the standout.

For a start, it’s an original concept rather than a sequel, but it’s also executed so well, which is what we’re coming to expect from Shady Lady. It’s another in the line of one-word titles from SL too, joining the likes of Laced, Sew, and Swoll.

Another thing we’ve come to expect from SL is a theme that really pushes the envelope, and – dare I say – makes you think. The general premise here is you’re following a day in the life of Tucker, who really loves eating burgers after work, and then heading to the liposuction clinic just across the road!

To be honest, the base game, which takes place at a burger restaurant, is a little basic. This is another cluster pays game, but with Hot-sauce symbols which show up and distribute multipliers, and giant Burgers which reveal many symbols of the same type. But once you unlock the bonus round (with 3 Bonus symbols), the fun really begins.

Now Tucker is at the liposuction clinic, and the goal is to remove as much fat as possible, as this means you’ll be hitting the biggest multipliers. These multis get applied to cluster wins on the main grid, but there’s one important step in-between – you must trigger the liposuction machine into action to gain any multipliers at all. You do this by landing Bonus symbols, which increase the amount of green in the machine’s gauge – basically you want to give yourself the best chance of the gauge’s needle landing in the green when it inevitably rotates at the end of each spin.

It’s one of those elegant mechanics that just works, and it’s fleshed out within the game’s grisly theme for maximum laughs and gasps. The ‘twist’ in the tale at the end of the bonus round is hideous, and the nagging wife animation during the big win screen is laugh out loud.

There are myriad bonus buy options to play the game exactly as you want, and I had some pretty tasty wins in my test session, for what it’s worth. The RTP is 96.10% and the max win is 20,000x, which is also great.

Thank you Shady Lady – it’s another hit from this excellent studio to start off 2026.
