New Slots Round Up: 1st November – 7th November 2025

It’s a strange week for demo slots, with some massive studios releasing games that are just OK rather than amazing. One or two stand out though – which ones are they? Read on for Thanksgiving and Christmas-themed potential fun.

Christmas Megapots from Big Time Gaming combines Megaways, jackpots, Hold & Win, and Christmas into an unmistakably Big Time-esque slot. There’s nothing new that you haven’t seen before, but fans of more traditional slots or land-based games will feel at home, especially during the festive season. There’s also a giant potential max win of 88,888x – wow.

Speaking of fans of more traditional slots, that’s who much of TaDa Gaming’s catalogue is squarely aimed at, and Dice & Drop is no exception. The most memorable feature here is how the Dice Wilds expand to all surrounding squares, so it’s fairly often that you’ll get a grid mostly composed of these wilds. Max win is low at 5,000x but RTP is decent at 97.01%.

Are you the kind of person who likes to watch more than screen at once, having your smartphone in your hand as you watch TV, for example? Well, Frozen Fruit offers up to six grids at one time to simulate that feeling of standing in a TV shop. It’s a lot to keep track of, but it’s a novel feature that could entice some players to keep spinning the reels here. Other than that, it’s a fairly easy-to-grasp slot with (frozen) fruit symbols and 10 paylines.

Disorder from Nolimit City is a prequel to the iconic Mental slot. I really wanted to like this one, because I love Mental – most people do. However, the art in Disorder was giving me AI vibes from the off – for example, the transistor radio that says ‘TRANSISTOR’ on it but has the last part of the word cut off by a big button.

That aside, this is a fun game that fits into the wider Mental universe really well. It fleshes out the story of how someone with an ideal family life could end up in a mental institution, and uses many of the same features as Mental, like Fire Frames. I’m sure most people won’t be bothered by the AI-looking artwork, and there is a great game to be discovered here.

Lucky Turkey from BGaming is a clone of Gates of Olympus, but as I seem to say quite often these days since Pragmatic Play’s departure from the sweepstakes scene, having clones of its games can actually be useful now. This one is centred around the life of a housewife and a Thanksgiving turkey, drawn in a cartoonish style, but it just doesn’t have the drama or finesse of Gates. It’s actually a lesson in how vital a slot’s visuals, theme, and overall presentation are.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, also from BGaming, is a rare sweepstakes slot with a famous IP attached, but this one has been lovingly done with mechanics that tie into the Star Trek universe well. In fact, this is kind of the game’s strong and weak point. It’s novel how things beam and move around the screen, but the animations and flow take up so much time compared to other modern slots.

There is a solid game here though, and it’s more original than you might expect. For example, if you trigger 3 or more respins in the base game, the winning symbols are taken to another screen and a grid is formed purely from these symbols – each type is then revealed in order and more cascading wins are formed for you. Some will really enjoy this title, especially Star Trek fans – the franchise is used well with great UI and sound choices. Other players could well find it cumbersome to play.

Big Stack Nutcrack feels like a bit of a dud from Print, at least compared to this studio’s usually amazing output. It’s actually a Christmas twist on Big Stack Lumberjack with nutcrackers that often get knocked over, creating wins horizontally, which is what you want. It’s just a little flat for Print, but still better than most other Christmas-themed slots.

Jungle Relics Dream Drop from Relax feels quite basic, but there are some cool things going on, like Expanded Wilds that move down from the top of the grid to the bottom, triggering respins all along the way. I can take or leave the Dream Drop mechanic, but this game is actually more fun than it first seems.

We finish this section with Jaws of Justice from Hacksaw. The theme is mechanized animals in a comic book visual style, and the main characters are sharks. Laser Sharks, in fact. When these guys land on the grid, they act as Wilds and can project themselves across the grid via laser beams, either horizontally, vertically, diagonally. I’m sure you can imagine just how this helps you out. It’s trashy and fun, and it will hit the spot for plenty of players.

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

Game of the Week

Five years ago, Iron Bank was released as a collaboration between Relax Gaming and CasinoGrounds, a popular casino streaming community. It felt like a slot made for and designed by slot players with some nifty features – namely Mystery Symbol, Expanding Wilds, and Multiplier Collect – laid out as choices going into the bonus feature.

The setting was a sunny Cuban town, home to a bank that you would be holding up with some animal friends (it’s similar to Net Gains in that way). Yes, Iron Bank had an interesting premise, and it helped create one of Relax Gaming’s stronger releases from the past few years.

Iron Bank 2 feels like an upgraded version of the original. The setting is the same but the visuals are now more sharp and colorful. The fundamental features remain the same, but tweaks have been made, and more choices are expected of the player in this new version.

The base game runs on a 6 x 4 grid in an all ways pays format with 4,096 lines. Symbols flesh out the setting and the ‘animals robbing a bank in Cuba’ storyline, and there are two switches visible to the left of the grid – these represent some of the choices I mentioned.

The first gives you ante bet-type options to increase your chance of spinning into the bonus features, and the second toggles between two main features in the base game. The question here is: would you like access to random Mystery Symbols (multiple symbols of the same type landing on the same spin) or Expanding Multiplier Wilds?

You can also straight up buy into the bonus round with three levels of intensity. As touched on earlier, you’re also given a choice between the three mechanics in the bonus round: Mystery Symbol, Expanding Wilds, or Multiplier Collect. I like Expanding Wilds where the two central reels can receive…Expanding Wilds. Each win retriggers another free spin, and if you get two Expanding Wilds at the same time, they combine for some truly massive wins.

The win potential in this game feels really high – I guess that’s what you get when streaming slot players have some input the mechanics and design. There’s a lot of continuity from the original Iron Bank which will be nice for fans of the original, although some may prefer the simple, streamlined feel of the original compared to the numerous choices and options available in this sequel.

Overall, Iron Bank 2 feels like a thoughtful evolution from Relax – more modern, more colorful, and with extra layers of strategy for players who enjoy having control, while still keeping the core storyline and charm that made the first game so appealing. Its setting is the opposite of Christmassy, but the max win is 50,000x, and at points, you feel like you might just hit it.
