New Slots Round Up: 29th November – 5th December 2025

After the smorgasbord of slots in last week’s round up, things are looking very sparse this week. Still let’s take a look.

Fruitillionaire from AvatarUX is nothing we haven’t seen before. This style of slot with three types of hold and win round – represented by three differently colored objects above the grid – is so common these days we really need a name for it.

The concept can be found in games like Coin Trio in a land-based setting or 3 Hot Teapots online. In fact, AvatarUX used the very same idea only a few weeks ago for 3 Power Genies. We could call it something like the Triple Pot genre.

So that’s what we have here, and it pretty much always combines with a Hold & Win round and jackpot tiers. You can still get kicks from it – in Fruitillionaire the three different bonus round benefits (singularly or in combinations) are an increased amount of spins, reel expansion, and the addition of Special Symbols: Rows, Reels, and Full Board Boosters. However, the base game is very dry and I found it hard to spin into the bonus round organically.

That leaves us with the Game of the Week below – it was an easy choice this time!

Game of the Week

Crazy Ex Girlfriend from Nolimit City is a lot of fun, especially if you like multipliers. It’s also a bit of an assault on the senses when things get going in the bonus rounds, so it’s good to ground yourself in the rules of the base game if you want to stand a chance at following the action in the later levels.

The grid is an odd shape with a 2-4-4-4-2 formation, but you soon get used to it. It also creates a possible 1,024 lines because this is an all ways pays game.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, there are a couple of major ones you need to be aware of. The first is the xSplit symbol, a Nolimit City favorite – when it lands, it adds 2x to every square on that row. The second is Rebound Spins – here wins trigger respins for all non-winning symbols, adding +1 to the multiplier on each square for each non-winning symbol. It’s an elegant mechanic that forms the core of Crazy Ex Girlfriend. It does remind me of Serial by the same studio, but that slot didn’t have the building multiplier element, which is a game-changer.

Now for the bonus rounds, where there are three levels. The first gives you a Sticky Wild on reel 2, the second gives you two Sticky Wilds on reel 2, and the third gives you a whole reel of Sticky Wilds. Not only that, but the multipliers don’t reset with each spin – they build over the course of the round. And everything moves very fast, including the music.

Yes, let’s touch on the theme. The story is all about what a crazy ex girlfriend might do to a guy, rendered in a kind of brightly-colored, 90s cartoon style. And the music has to be heard; it’s worth firing up the game just to experience it, and how it gets more intense – or serene – with the gameplay.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend is a tidy little package. Once you understand the basics, you’ll be away and able to rack up some massive wins in the bonus round, especially if you experiment with the Print Spins which add varying levels of multipliers to the whole grid from the start. The max win of 9,999x is relatively low for NLC – and very achievable with the bonus buys – while the volatility rating is ‘Extreme’.
