Week 21/2020 slot games releases
Here are this weeks latest slots releases!
The latest Play’n GO release hit the market this week, a 3-reel video slot titled Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay. The game features a new character, Charlie Chance, as he lands himself in hot water and tries to outwit the devil herself to win his fortune. The unique and the retro style of the game are inspired by the works of animators such as Max Fleischer who pioneered the modern age of animation with classic characters like Betty Boop and Popeye. The choice of traditional fruit machine symbols on the grid also add to the timeless feel of this gridslot. This game is unlike anything we have previously seen from the slot supplier; it seems like, once again, they have broken their mould to deliver original, innovative content.
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has turned up the heat with its latest release Hot to Burn. The title takes the fast and fun gameplay of the traditional fruit machine staple and adds a fiery element with players being able to win up to 1,000x their stake. The 3×5 title offers a classic slot experience as players try to land all five flaming 7 symbols on the reels at the same time to win big.
Blueprint Gaming is rumbling into action with the launch of its latest slot Rhino Rampage, the first to incorporate the developer’s new Lightning Spins
iSoftBet, the leading online and mobile casino content provider, has launched its latest MegawaysTM slot title, Dragon Match MegawaysTM. Set in the heart of a sacred Chinese temple, this four-reel game offers players up to 3,136 ways to win and features cascading wins, with players looking to join two golden dragon symbols on the top tracker reel to form a complete dragon and trigger Free Spins. Dragon Match MegawaysTM also features iSoftBet’s unique symbol matching mechanic, where if the two symbols in the top tracker reel are the same, they turn into wilds, as do all matching symbols on the two reels directly below.
Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has travelled back to medieval times in its latest smash hit slot, Arthur’s Fortune. The 5×3 video slot contains a host of features for players to feast on as they join King Arthur and his legendary Knights of the Round Table in a quest for riches. The free spins mode is triggered if three or more Scatter symbols land simultaneously, with higher rewards for more symbols. During the bountiful bonus round, players are transported inside the castle where a wheel of fortune transforms a random symbol into wilds, leading to potentially huge wins, with more symbols transforming if more scatters hit the reels.
NetEnt has transformed one of the best-selling arcade games of all time for online slot fans with the release of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot, the new 5-reel, 5-row Cluster Pays video slot emulates the battle mechanics of the original title by pitting the player’s chosen character against opponents and letting the reels decide which fighter is victorious.
Casino content developer WeAreCasino has launched its new slot game Classic Cherries. The game was co-produced by Silver Lining Studios, one of the industry’s leading game development companies. This is the first game developed with WeAreCasino’s brand new Slotbuilder engine. Based on a cult classic theme, Classic Cherries gives the iconic fruits, bells, bars, and sevens, a modern makeover and innovates the retro game’s playstyle. This five-reel, nine-line slot exhibits brand new game features such as winning lines that start from the left or rightmost reel, multiple bonus game levels and mobile gaming enhancements.
Betsoft Gaming has released its latest slot QUEST TO THE WEST, which will take players East to West in search of untold wealth. The new slot features 5 reels and 25 paylines, delivering thrilling gameplay and stunning visuals. This game includes Walking Wilds, Respins, Instant Wins and up to 1260x your bet. Monkey King Walking Wilds will substitute for every symbol – grab three to enter the Free Spin round. Trigger the Quest to the West with three Monkey King Wilds. Each re-spin moves the Monkey King symbol one reel left. The spins will end when all the Monkey King symbols have gone, potentially stacking immense wins. Collect 15 or more Monkey King Symbols and fill up the Meter of the Heavens for an Instant Win of 1000x.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
