The Best New Video Slots for August 2023 You Have to Try

Piggies and the Bank™ Mega Fire Blaze by Playtech

Once again, Playtech has brought us a video slot that is part of the Mega Fire Blaze series — Piggies and the Bank™ Mega Fire Blaze, distinctive for its fixed jackpot prizes. Piggies, the main characters, invite you to help them rob the bank and win valuable prizes on the way. They include:

• Free spins
• Re-spins
• Bonus bet
• A maximum win of 4,150x your stake.

The game features a standard 5×3 grid with 50 paylines and has a slightly below-average RTP of 95.38%. This setup means you will score the winning combinations in the base game much easier, but they will not be that high.

This is why Playtech introduced Gold Wild Re-spins. Whenever the Gold Wild symbol hits the entire three-high reel, all symbols transform into stacked Gold Wilds and activate re-spins. The feature ends once all the Gold Wilds are removed from the grid.

If you are lucky to hit three or more scatters anywhere on the reels, the game awards up to 8 free spins. But in case any Gold Wild pops up on the playfield during this feature, it will automatically expand to cover the entire reel, turn every Gold Wild into a stacked Golden Wild, and activate re-spins — just like in the base game.

However, what players will be after is the popular Mega Fire Blaze™ feature, which brings four fixed jackpots — Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, awarding 20x, 100x, 500x, and 2,500x, respectively. Another great thing is that this game option gets activated by landing at least six coin symbols in the base game and can award up to 5x multipliers.

Hugo Legacy by Play’n GO

Play’n GO is undoubtedly a fan of a cute, cheerful troll Hugo, and if you are too, you’ll be happy to know that the developer is launching its brand-new video slot Hugo Legacy this August. Set in a grassy meadow in front of the troll forest, this game introduces cascading reels, a cluster pay engine, awards plenty of free spins, and has a maximum win potential of 3,000x your stake.

This medium-volatility game has an RTP of 96.2% and a 7×7 cascading grid matrix. As expected, Hugo Legacy abounds in dwarf characters (Scylla, Don Croco, Fernando, and Jean-Paul), the high-paying symbols, while the low-paying ones are all the mining equipment.

Interestingly, a telephone meter allows you to collect all the winning symbols from the removed clusters, and each counts as a +1 charge.

Once you collect 15 charges, you will trigger a random character modifier, each with different capabilities, while 35 charges award free spins of different strengths. If you score 40, 45, or even 50 charges, you will get stronger free spins that guarantee more character modifiers and wilds.

Hugo Legacy may not have a huge payout amount, but thanks to its standard RTP and attractive maximum jackpot options, it is a perfect game for most players.

The Goonies™ Hey You Guys! by Blueprint Gaming

Blueprint Gaming will release another branded video slot this August — The Goonies™ Hey You Guys! The developer has made several slots with the famous 1985 movie crew before, but this game will include even more movie references and focus intensely on the money symbol collection feature.

The 5×3 grid with 10 paylines is laid across the map as if the entire setup is on a pirate ship, and the upbeat music transports you back in time. The game has an RTP of 95%, and you must land at least three matching symbols to create winning combinations. There are standard low and high-paying symbols and a wild (a coin with a hole), which can substitute all the regular paying icons.

Once you spin the reels, you’ll notice that cash symbols are active on the first four reels on each spin. They award four jackpots — Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (100x), and Mega (2,000x).

If a Sloth symbol hits the fifth reel with cash symbols in view, it will expand to all positions, collect their values, and trigger the Respin Sloth symbol. Like a snowball effect, when the Respin Sloth collects all the cash symbols, it will set the Boost symbol free, which will, once more, gather all the cash symbols and activate the Super Collect Sloth symbol.

Scoring 3 scatters on the middle three reels awards 10 free spins and activates the bonus round, transporting you to One-Eyed Willy’s treasure room. Cash symbols are also present in this mode, but here they are collected on a meter. Thus, you can accumulate anywhere from 3 to 12 of them and receive between 2x and 10x multipliers, followed by 5 free spins for each.

Rocket Blast Megaways™ by Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play will take you to outer space to hang out with the extraterrestrial creatures in its new slot game — Rocket Blast Megaways™. Set somewhere in the Milky Way and accompanied by funky electro beats, this game will captivate you with its rocket feature, free spins, and a hefty maximum win potential of up to 10,000x your stake.

This 6-reel grid game welcomes 2 to 7 symbols on each reel per spin and features 117,649 win ways thanks to the Megaways™ mechanics. Plus, it is a highly volatile title with an RTP of 96.01%.

Features-wise, Rocket Blast Megaways™ contains all those options typical for Megaways™ games, such as free spins with a rising multiplier and a tumbles mechanic (removes the winning features from the grid). However, Pragmatic Play has included a new option — Rocket Feature. It gives the power to the Rocket symbol to transform all symbols lying underneath into wilds.

In addition, you can get up to 35 free spins if you land between 4 and 9 scatters. Another novelty here is that the game gives you a chance to bet on either the green or red wheel.

As mentioned, the bonus round contains a rising multiplier, starting at 1x and raising by 1 with every consecutive winning tumble. You’d be happy to know that the multiplier doesn’t reset until the end of the bonus mode, and hitting 3 scatters during this round qualifies you for 4 more free spins.

Goat Getter by Push Gaming

Fans of animal-themed slots, especially goats, will enjoy the brand-new video slot Push Gaming is releasing at the end of August — Goat Getter. In this game, the developer takes you to the pointy tree forest, with birds flying around and the grid laid across a stone-like structure.

In addition, you can also expect many other surprises in the form of:

• Free spins
• A gamble feature
• Cascade mechanics
• Coin Pot symbols
• A maximum win potential of 10,000x your stake.

Goat Getter has a 6×5 grid with scatter pay mechanics and an RTP of 96.40%. You must also know that an optional Push Bet option can increase your winning chances by 34% if you raise your stake by 20%. However, be careful, as this will lower the game’s RTP.

This scatter pay slot will award a win after you land at least 6 matching symbols on the grid in any position. Interestingly, the game features no wild symbols in the base or bonus round.

To spice things up a little, Push Gaming introduced the Coin Pot feature. Coin Pot symbols appear on the reels, carrying instant prize values. Landing 6 or more of them will activate this feature, which, in turn, awards a prize from 0.5x to 4x your bet.

Depending on the number of bonus symbols you land in the base game, you can receive up to 16 free spins and enter the bonus mode. There is a convenient Gamble feature that allows you to bet and receive extra FS before the round begins.

If you spot a Goat symbol during free spins, the little Goat will collect the value of all Coin Pots in view. The more Goat symbols you score, the faster you progress from level 1 to level 4 on a progression meter. Plus, each level awards 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x multipliers, respectfully, and 5 free spins on top.

Those impatient to wait for the bonus round can buy their way straight into it for 100x, 200x, or 4,000x a bet.
