Upcoming Slot Releases This Week - New Online Slots (October 5 - October 11, 2026)

The first full week of October brings a fresh wave of new online slots, with releases between October 5 and October 11 covering plenty of ground. Pragmatic Play leads the charge with sharks and seaside cash grabs, while Hacksaw Gaming creeps into a cursed attic and Paperclip Gaming sends a ghostly crew through a haunted crypt.

Themes run from the ocean floor to a sunny shoreline and a moonlit graveyard, so variety is never short. Mechanically, expect progressive Money symbols, pot-building Collect features, cascading cluster pays and ever-climbing wild multipliers.

Each of the latest online slots below comes with its key stats, release date and a short review, so you'll know what's worth tracking down.

Sharks circle the seabed, a band of ghosts goes soul-hunting in the crypt, a pelican fishes for banknotes and cursed dolls cause chaos in the attic.

Deep Sea Frenzy (Pragmatic Play)

Release date: October 5, 2026

Pragmatic Play trades bass and krakens for sharks in Deep Sea Frenzy, an ocean-floor slot where swaying seaweed and a calming soundtrack set a deceptively peaceful tone. That changes fast once the bonus hits and the music turns full shark-movie.

The game runs on a 5x4 grid with 50 paylines, and golden Wilds appear on every reel except the first. A max win of 16,000x the bet gives this medium volatility release plenty of bite.

Money symbols worth 1x to 200x the bet land on the first four reels, while Collect symbols stick to the rightmost reel. Landing 8 or more Money symbols alongside a Collect pays them out and triggers 5 free spins. Collect symbols can also carry a multiplier or a +1 Spin bonus.

The twist is that Money symbols turn progressive in free spins, starting at 1x and climbing every spin until they reach 200x from the 12th spin onward. An Ante Bet lowers the trigger to 7 Money symbols, and the Bonus Buy feature costs 170x the bet for 5 to 8 spins decided by a card pick.

Ghost Rush (Paperclip Gaming)

Release date: October 5, 2026

Paperclip Gaming heads for a moonlit crypt in Ghost Rush, a cartoon-horror slot crowded with grumpy wizards, armoured knights, torch-bearing skulls and colourful spirits. A crowned skeleton king looms beside the reels, giving it a cheeky, Halloween-ready look.

The game plays on a 5x5 grid using cluster pays with cascading wins, where 5 or more matching symbols must connect horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols explode and fresh ones drop in until no clusters remain.

The Ghost Wild is the star, never exploding but repositioning into a freshly cleared cell after every win it joins. Each of those cascades adds +1 to its multiplier with no upper limit, and a cluster pays at the sum of all Ghost multipliers inside it.

Prize coins sit on the board until the cascades end, then every active Ghost multiplies them in turn. Three, four or five Bonus symbols unlock the Ghost Bonus, Super Bonus or Epic Bonus, each with 10 free spins and persistent multipliers.

High volatility and a max win of 25,000x the bet make this one for patient multiplier hunters.

Pelican Payday (Pragmatic Play)

Release date: October 6, 2026

Pelican Payday joins Pragmatic Play's casual-friendly POP range, swapping big-name franchises for an original star: a cheerful pelican who would rather reel in banknotes than fish. The rocky shoreline backdrop and laid-back mood make it a natural fit for quick mobile sessions.

The action sits on a tall 3x5 grid with 10 paylines, and there are no wilds on the reels. Card royals, hooks, boxes and fish fill out the paytable, but line wins mostly play second fiddle.

The real focus is Money symbols worth 0.5x to 10x the bet, or one of four jackpots topped by the Grand at 1,000x the bet. In the base game, the pelican Collect symbol only lands on the rightmost reel to scoop them up.

Three lighthouse Scatters trigger 8 free spins, where Collect symbols can land anywhere. Money values build into a persistent pot that every Collect pays out, and 3 more scatters add 8 extra spins.

With low volatility and a max win of 5,000x the bet, this one is built for relaxed, steady play.

Demonic Dolls (Hacksaw Gaming)

Release date: October 6, 2026

Hacksaw Gaming heads into a dusty attic for Demonic Dolls, a voodoo-flavoured slot fronted by two stitched-up troublemakers. They look more mischievous than menacing, though they grow noticeably nastier as you move into the bonus rounds.

Wins come from cluster pays on a 5x5 grid, with 5 or more matching symbols needed to connect. Royals, buttons, wool, axes, honey jars and bow ties make up the paytable.

Wild Rattle symbols are the engine, carrying additive multipliers of 2x to 100x. When two Wild Rattles of the same size share a win, a respin kicks in and they merge into a 2x2 Colossal Wild Rattle, which can grow again into a 3x3 version.

Three, four or five scatters unlock All Dolled Up, Bad Omens or the hidden Playtime is Over bonus, each with 10 free spins and progressively more Wild Rattles. Feature Spins options and two bonus buys are on hand for anyone who'd rather skip the wait.

Medium volatility and a max win of 10,000x the bet round out a quirky, easy-to-follow package.

Ghost Rush takes this week's top spot thanks to the biggest ceiling on offer, a max win of 25,000x the bet. It also packs a multiplier system that keeps escalating long after most slots would have reset.

The Ghost Wild gains +1 every time it joins a winning cascade, with no cap on how high it can climb. When it comes to Prize coins, Ghosts multiply rather than add, so every extra Ghost on the board sends those values soaring.

In free spins, Ghost multipliers persist for the entire round, and every Bonus symbol that lands adds 1 extra spin. The Super Bonus starts with 2 Ghosts and the Epic Bonus with 3, each already carrying a boosted multiplier.

With high volatility and a 96.00% RTP, it's the release to watch for anyone who loves chasing ever-growing multipliers.

From shark-filled depths and a sunny shoreline to a haunted attic and a moonlit crypt, this week's new slots cover a lot of ground. Pragmatic Play keeps things breezy and bold in equal measure, Hacksaw Gaming brings its trademark wild-multiplier mischief, and Paperclip Gaming adds another Stake exclusive to the calendar.

Casual players have an easy-going collector to settle into, while multiplier chasers get merging wilds and endlessly climbing Ghosts to sink their teeth into. Each release brings something different to the reels.
