Just Slots, a Malta based iGaming software developer, has announced the launch of its latest title, ‘Unholy Mystery’, set to release on 7 August. Building on strong momentum, this marks Just Slots’ fifth release since the breakout success of their debut game, Sugar Heaven.

Just Slots stays true to its roots with a familiar reelset and fan favourite features like Hotspin and Bonus Buys, both proven hits with players. To make it a standout experience, unique features and mystery symbols have been added to the mix. All the mystery symbols landing on the reels reveal the same symbol, and may include multipliers up to 100x, giving huge winning potential with every spin.

The game features a cast of interesting characters, adding personality to the experience. During the free spins, the background comes alive, bursting with vibrant colours and playful animations that showcase exceptional attention to detail, making every frame a feast for the eyes. The game is brought to life by music compositions that complement the experience, making each spin feel like part of a celebration.

It’s a celebration of what makes gaming fun, and we can’t wait to see how our players respond.”

Just Slots continues to surprise and reinvent with bold new themes and distinctive game concepts, ranging from the candy coated charm of Sugar Heaven, to the historical fantasy of Shogun Skylord, the futuristic mythology of Cyber Egypt and the mystical allure of Book of Arcane 100. Unholy Mystery will go live on the 7 August and will be playable on leading sites such as Gamdom.com, Stake.com, CasinoDays.com, 500.casino, Bitcasino, Sportsbet.io and more.
