Upcoming Slot Releases This Week – New Online Slots (July 6 – July 12)

Pragmatic Play can't decide what kind of studio it is this week. Monday it's Big Bass Blast, the same genial fishing trip it's cranked out a dozen times, electrified reels notwithstanding. Wednesday it's Out of the Woods, where four hikers end up as mounted trophies on an owl cult's wall. Hacksaw runs the same hot-and-cold streak, a comic-book airport checkpoint on one day and a burning prehistoric wasteland on another, while Paperclip just shrugs and plays its Greek gods dead straight. Forget finding a theme that stitches this lot together, there isn't one. 

What ties the week is under the hood: a fish-collection loop, lightning wilds that chain across reels, a checkpoint meter juggling twelve features at once, respins that stack multipliers higher each drop, and reels that catch fire and spread it. Loud artwork, all of it pulling different directions. The ones worth playing are where the machinery does something the paint job only promises.

From a fishing loop to a checkpoint in meltdown, here's everything landing this week.

Big Bass Blast (Pragmatic Play)

Release Date: July 6

Big Bass Blast is Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom keeping the fishing franchise reeling in another entry, this time with a jolt of electricity bolted on. A speedboat idles on a forest lake ringed by mountains, but crackling energy divides the reels and races up tubes around the grid — a theme mashup that either sparked from a genuine idea or got stapled together to keep the series moving. Either way, the underlying game is the familiar Money-symbol-and-wild collection loop, freshened at the edges rather than rebuilt.

The 5x3 grid runs 10 paylines across nine symbols, 10-through-A royals at the bottom, then tackle boxes, rods, dragonflies, and floats. Five royals pay 5x to 10x, five premiums 50x to 200x. The engine, as ever, is the Fisherman Wild: it lands on the outer reels, substitutes for everything but the scatter, and sweeps up the fish Money symbols worth 0.5x to 500x, carrying a random 2x, 3x, or 10x multiplier of its own in the base game.

Three or more scatters open free spins, where collected Fishermen build the round, every seventh adds five spins and steps the collection multiplier up through 2x, 3x, and 10x. Three helper features can also fire, dropping in Money symbols, hooking extra wilds, or triggering a Bazooka that reshuffles the non-wild symbols. A 100x feature buy and a 50% ante bet round out the options.

At 96.50% RTP and high volatility, Big Bass Blast tops out at 5,000x, a modest ceiling for the series, which fits a game that's more about the steady collection rhythm than a single explosive hit.

King of Gods (Paperclip Gaming)

Release Date: July 6

King of Gods sends Paperclip Gaming up to Mount Olympus, with a brooding Zeus enthroned to the right of the reels, a golden eagle perched on his sceptre, and the grid framed by marble columns wound with ivy. The symbols keep the mythology tidy — Greek-styled royals at the low end, then winged sandals, a lyre, a plumed war helmet, and a glowing Medusa up top. It's a well-worn theme handled with enough polish to feel considered rather than lazy.

The 6x4 grid pays 14 fixed lines, three or more from the left. The whole game runs on lightning. Wilds substitute for everything but the Bonus symbol, and when one lands where its expansion would complete a line, it stretches to fill the reel and reveals a multiplier between 2x and 100x. Any win passing through expanded wilds is multiplied by the sum of their values — and after each expansion, lightning can strike again, spawning a fresh wild on a random reel and chaining for as long as each new one keeps forming a win.

Bonuses scale by trigger: 3 Bonus symbols award the King Bonus, 4 the God Super, 5 the Epic God Bonus, each giving 10 free spins. The higher tiers guarantee a wild on every spin, and Epic God holds every expanded multiplier to a 10x floor. Buy-ins run from a 3x Extra Chance up to the 1,000x God Spin X.

The chaining wilds are the whole draw here: one lightning strike can cascade into several expanded reels, each stacking its multiplier onto the same line. That's where the 25,000x lives. High volatility and a 96.00% RTP round it out, a game that sits quiet until the lightning decides to keep going.

AFK Airport Security (NoLimit City) 

Release Date: July 7

AFK Airport Security is comic-book chaos dressed up as a TSA checkpoint. The art is all scratchy, exaggerated caricature — a bug-eyed guard, a shady traveller stuffing something into his shirt, a hulking passenger hiding contraband — set against a bustling terminal, with X-ray-blue weapons, grenades, and cuffs as the low symbols and the checkpoint crew up top. It's crude and knowing in the way this style of studio tends to be, and it wears the joke openly.

The 5x3 grid pays 243 ways, but the real hook is the feature meter running along the top. 

Twelve separate features can fire at random on any base spin, in any combination, resolving in a set order: security-search wilds, class-upgrade multipliers of 3x to 10x, symbol splits, mystery reveals, full-reel wild expansions, and a global air-mile multiplier among them. It's a game about how many of those twelve stack on a single spin.

Bonus symbols scale the free spins by tier:

• 3 for Economy – 7 spins, one locked feature
• 4 for Business – 7 spins, two random features
• 5 for First Class – 7 spins, three random features

Every extra feature that fires during the round sticks for the rest of it and adds a spin. Buy-ins run from a 1.4x Bonus Booster to the eye-watering 4,500x 12-Mile High Club, which guarantees all twelve at once.

The ceiling is a precise 19,693x rather than a round number, and it's built for the moment a pile of those features converge, high volatility, feast or famine, exactly as the style promises.

Out of the Woods (Pragmatic Play)

Release Date: July 9

Out of the Woods is Pragmatic Play following the grim streak it opened with Hell Butcher, this time into backwoods horror. Four hikers stumble onto a cult of owl-worshippers armed with medieval weaponry, and the game doesn't flinch from where that goes — one scene has the four running for their lives, the next has their heads mounted on the wall like trophies. A giant carved owl looms beside the reels over a shadowy forest, with the terrified foursome as high symbols and 10-through-A royals snapped in bear traps at the low end. It's nasty, funny, and a clear signal the studio is chasing darker ground.

The 5x4 grid runs 25 paylines, and the engine is the Multiplier Wild. It only ever lands fully stacked, carrying multipliers of 1x to 4x from bottom to top. Any win triggers a respin where the stack slides down and reveals fresh wilds on top, each one worth one more than the last, and a gold-rimmed wild that reaches the bottom sends the stack lurching 2 to 10 positions in a single move, spiking the values fast.

Three or more scatters award 10, 15, or 20 free spins, where the mechanic carries weight across stacks: each new stack begins at the highest multiplier the previous one reached, so the round compounds rather than resets. Special bets run from a 5x ante to a 10x Super Spin, and buy-ins reach 500x for super free spins opening at 10x to 14x wilds.

That compounding is where the 10,000x lives, not in one lucky spin, but in a run of respins that keeps handing the next stack a bigger head start. Medium volatility keeps it from feeling as punishing as the theme suggests.

Grug Make Fire (Hacksaw Gaming)

Release Date: July 9

Grug Make Fire drops Hacksaw into a prehistoric fever dream — wildfires tearing across the land, dinosaurs prowling the horizon, and a hulking caveman named Grug glaring in from the left of the reels. The high symbols are snarling dino heads in blue, purple, green, and red, the lows are runes carved into cracked stone, and the whole thing has the studio's usual grimy-cartoon energy. It's daft and it knows it.

The 5x4 grid pays 14 lines, but fire is the entire point. When a Burning Wild lands, it torches every symbol on the reel above it: low symbols burn into plain wilds, while high symbols become Burnt Wild Multipliers carrying additive values from 2x all the way to 200x, stacking together when several join a win. FS scatter symbols burn too, upgrading their free-spin values when they catch.

Two bonuses sit on top. Grug Find Food (three scatters, 6–18 spins) keeps the base mechanics, while Grug Fight Dino (four scatters, 8–24 spins) adds a progressive Wildfire Bar that fills as you win and hands out Burnt Reels at each level — up to 5 at once by the top tier. Feature buys cover both, plus a bonus-hunt and a FeatureSpins mode.

Everything routes back to fire: the more reels burn in a single sequence, the more Burnt Wild Multipliers pile onto the same line, and that convergence is what carries the game to its 10,000x ceiling.

AFK Airport Security wins the week on sheer nerve. 

Every other release here is built around one idea done well; this one throws twelve at the wall and dares them all to hit at once. A single spin can quarantine the dead weight, run the survivors through a body scanner that upgrades them, slap a 10x tag on a symbol, split reels, expand wilds, then cap it with an air-mile multiplier — and none of it is scheduled. It sits flat for stretch after stretch, comic-book caricatures staring blankly out of the checkpoint, until five features misfire in the same direction and the whole board goes off. 

The free spins make it worse in the best way, locking every feature that lands so the chaos compounds. Somewhere in that pile-up is a 19,693x ceiling, not a round number, because nothing about this game is tidy.

Here's the split that matters this week: how long each game makes you wait, and how big the payoff is when it lands. 

AFK Airport Security is the longest fuse, dead spins for stretches, then twelve features detonate together and the board loses its mind. Grug Make Fire and King of Gods are the chain reactions, fire spreading reel to reel and lightning leaping across the grid, both building as long as they keep connecting. Out of the Woods is the slow accumulator, its multiplier stacks compounding through respins instead of bursting. And Big Bass Blast barely makes you wait at all — small, steady, a 5,000x ceiling and a rhythm you already know by heart. 

Fast and modest, or patient and explosive: that's the real choice on the table this week.
