New Slots Round Up: 21st February – 27th February 2026

It’s a very busy round up this week as we break down the key new slot releases, followed by a deeper look at this week’s standout game.

Millionaire Megapots is the latest in the Megapots series from Big Time Gaming. Like Christmas Megapots, it’s a Megaways slot with Mini, Midi, and Max jackpots that randomize on every spin (they’re only winnable in the hold and spin round).

The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? IP feels nostalgic, and is used mainly when heading into the free spins – players can select ‘answers’ to try and improve the amount of free spins they get. Aside from that, this is a fairly average Megaways slot with a base game, free spins, and hold and spin round. There’s a lot going on visually, but not too much gameplay innovation. That being said, the gigantic max win of 91,000x may tempt some in.

Artifacts from Peter & Sons looks lush, as we’ve come to expect from this studio. It has a Medieval feel with a bunch of Middle Ages-type characters sat around the table/grid and suitable courtly music playing in the background. The grid is 5 x 3 with 243 paylines AKA an all ways pays system. Above the grid you’ll immediately notice the Reel Multipliers, which boost any wins that cross those reels, and beneath the grid you’ll see the Feature Boxes, which provide power-ups to affect the Reel Multipliers. In the free spins, the Reel Multipliers persist and build, rather than reset with each spin. Another tidy slot from this fun studio here!

Crowned Corners from Bullshark has a similar Medieval/historical theme coincidentally, but it’s filtered through a cartoon CGI lens – as Bullshark often does. As for the gameplay, each corner of the 5 x 5 grid here can reveal special symbols like Wilds, Wild Multipliers, or full lines of matching symbols. Other than that, you’ll be looking for all ways pays wins from left to right. It’s a simple and almost-fun concept – with something extra in the free spins round it might have made a great game, but all that happens in the bonus is you get an increased chance of corner symbols.

Epic Bullets and Bounty is the sequel to Bullets and Bounty which came out last summer. Both of these games carry on in the same vein as Hacksaw’s other gritty cowboy slots: Wanted Dead or a Wild and Duel at Dawn. Epic Bullets and Bounty also uses the DuelReels concept, where 2 cowboys shoot it out on an Expanded Wild, with the winner applying their multiplier. Then when you land a Bounty VS DuelReel, the Bounty Hunter can collect and add up multipliers from various victims, leading to bigger eventual multipliers. This Epic upgrade adds a few subtle changes like higher volatility and more attainable Epic Bonus round, but it’s largely the same game as before.

Ancient Egypt is an often-mined aesthetic for slots, and it shows up again in Relax Gaming’s 5 Tombs of Fortune slot. For the most part, this all ways pays game is dry like the desert it’s set in, but Scarab Symbols can show up and trigger certain advantages during free spins. We’re talking guaranteed Wilds, Multipliers, grid expansion etc. It’s fine but nothing too exciting, and the presentation here is dull too – Relax can do better.

N0w we have a run of 5 new slots from TaDa Gaming, all with at least 97% RTP, which is nice. 3 Coin Wild Tiger is one of those ‘3 pot’ games where you can trigger 3 types of bonus round (or a combination of types). Not too much new to see here.

Next, Clover Coins 3×5 is a 3-row, 5-reel coin game with 6 fixed paylines – players must line up Coins in straight lines from left to right OR right to left, giving a degree of flexibility to how wins are formed. You’ll be hoping for more coins than dead symbols, as well as Collect symbols – when these land in a winning line, they collect up all the Coins on the grid. Or, landing a Collect symbol in the middle of the board triggers a Lock Re-spin, essentially and hold and win round. It’s something a little different from your standard slot flow.

Fortune Hook Antarctic is a sequel to Fortune Hook, which is TaDa’s version of a Big Bass-esque fishing slot. This Antarctic outing is largely the same as its predecessor, but there are a few tweaks like more paylines and the addition of a Super Scatter symbol to trigger a more favorable bonus round. Of course, the visuals have been moved to an icy destination, complete with penguins. Unfortunately, the max win has dropped from 20,000x to 5,000x, but the RTP is unchanged at 97.00%.

Joker Coins Expanded takes place over a 3-5-3-shaped grid, with a total of 45 ways to win. It’s much like Clover Coins 3×5 – I guess that’s why they both have the Hit the Cash subtitle. We’re talking coin collection and Lock Re-spins.

The last of TaDa’s 5, Fruit Cha Cha Cha leans heavily into traditional fruit machine symbols – unsurprisingly, considering the title. However, rather than traditional paylines, this works via scatter pays on a 5 x 3 grid. You’ll also come across Bomb symbols, which explode all the surrounding squares, giving you a chance at another potential win. Then the game keeps track of which symbols have been part of wins, and once you’ve had a win with each of the 12, you’ll enter the free spins. Unfortunately, the max win is only 1,600x here.

Bonanza Billion Xtreme by BGaming follows on from Bonanza Billion, levelling things up with slightly increased stats (96.97% RTP and 20,000x max win) and Multipliers that now go as high as 1,000x (they could only reach 100x before). This is BGaming’s version of Sweet Bonanza, so you’ll be looking to land scatter wins of 8+ symbols or more on the cascading reels. Multipliers only show up in the bonus round, and I’ve never really loved any variation of this game, but Sweet Bonanza is one of the most popular slots of all time, so what do I know!

3 Easter Pigs Hop & Win from Gaming Corps reminds us that Easter is just around the corner, offering a simple reskin on the previous games in this series like 3 Pigs of the Caribbean Hold & Win. It’s another one of these ‘3 pot’ slots, our second this week, so you can trigger 3 different types of bonus round via the 3 differently-colored pigs. RTP is not great at 95.81%, unfortunately.

Now let’s get into this week’s Game of the Week!

Game of the Week

The Crypt 2 from Nolimit City is a sequel to the original from September 2023. While this is not one of NLC’s most popular franchises, it’s been deemed fit for resurrection, now with quite a few changes and more deceased rockers (Dead Legends) populating the reels.

Both games are all ways pays tumblers, with NLC mechanics like xWays and xNudge Wilds dropping in to modify the grid. But what about those changes?

Well, we still have 6 reels, but there are now 7 rows, and the top 3 are chained off by default. The way to unlock them is by landing Forsaken Fingers, a new special symbol that expands the grid and then turns itself into a Wild. If you manage to unlock the whole grid, you’ll have a massive 531,441 paylines available!

The Eye Collector is another new and powerful special symbol – when it lands, it collects the eyes from all the Dead Legends on the grid, and turns the total into a global multiplier. There’s also the Spider, which is activated by the Eye Collector, contributing more eyes to pump up the multiplier field.

The bonus round is also changed, this time with the title of Entombed Spins. Now, it’s all about collecting Gems to work through each Dead Legend and applying more eyes to each one, so that when an Eye Collector does land, the multiplier will be higher. And those multipliers persist, of course. Also, any unlocked squares persist for the duration of the bonus.

Sometimes when NLC releases a tweaked sequel the changes can be more subtle – maybe Das xBoot/Das xBoot 2 would be a good example of that. The Crypt 2 applies more wholesale changes, and so fans are likely to either prefer this or the original, depending on their personal taste.

The visuals are impressive and attention-grabbing, and there’s a lot going on gameplay-wise too, so it’ll take a while to settle in here, but once you do, it’s a real adrenaline-inducing experience, with complexity at the upper levels of what slots can offer. Max win has been upped to 31,248x, but it’s said to be achievable on 1 in around 22.8m spins!
