Upcoming Slot Releases This Week – New Online Slots (April 13–19)

This week doesn’t try to follow a pattern, and that’s where it gets interesting.

Paperclip Gaming kicks things off with something more mechanical and layered, while Hacksaw Gaming and Pragmatic Play step in midweek with two completely different ideas of how a slot should pay.

You’re looking at linked multipliers that build quietly, delayed-hit mechanics that wait for the right moment, and a familiar collection system that’s been refined rather than reinvented. Different pacing, different pressure points, no single rhythm tying it all together.

A mix of systems this time, some that build, some that wait, and one that just keeps feeding into itself until it finally connects.

Link Quest (Paperclip Gaming)

Release date: April 13

Link Quest by Paperclip Gaming plays like a system that rewards patience more than hype. On paper, it’s a 6x6 grid with link-style connections, but the real focus is on how wins grow rather than how often they hit.

Each row carries its own multiplier, and those values stack depending on how far your connections stretch across the board. It doesn’t explode instantly, instead, it builds quietly, then cashes out when everything lines up across multiple rows. Wilds come with their own multipliers too, feeding into that same system and pushing totals higher than they initially look.

At 96% RTP with high volatility and a 10,000x max win, it’s not chasing constant action. It’s more about positioning and timing, when the links connect properly, the payout feels earned rather than random. Not flashy, but definitely calculated.

Boom (Twist Gaming)

Release date: April 14

Boom plays more like a trigger than a spin. You’re not waiting for lines or clusters to connect. Each round fills the 5x5 grid with monsters, then a weapon steps in and decides how much of it survives. A pistol might clear a couple of symbols and move on, while a rocket or BFG can wipe out most of the board in one go. Whatever gets taken out, that’s your win.

Bombs and multipliers are the real targets. If a weapon hits them, the value jumps fast. If it doesn’t, the spin ends without much happening. It’s very binary in that sense. The bonus round upgrades the weapon pool, removing weaker options and making stronger ones appear more often. That’s where the bigger hits are expected to come from.

With a 97% RTP, high volatility, and a 10,000x max win, Twist Gaming’s Boom keeps it simple, it either lands properly, or it doesn’t.

Power of Ten (Hacksaw Gaming)

Release date: April 16

This one strips things back visually, but the mechanics are anything but quiet. Everything revolves around the Power Wheel, land one, and it sits there until the spin resolves, then fires off a prize that can jump from 10x all the way to max win territory.

The base game can feel empty at times, but that’s intentional. It’s waiting for those wheels to stack. When multiple land together, their values combine, and that’s where things start to move fast. The bonus rounds double down on that idea, either increasing the frequency of wheels or letting them stack before triggering all at once.

With a 96.23% RTP, high volatility, and a max win that reaches into serious territory, this is very much a “wait for the hit” type of slot. It doesn’t pretend to entertain every spin, it’s here for those moments when everything lands together.

Big Bass Trophy Catch (Pragmatic Play)

Release date: April 16

If you’ve played any Big Bass game before, you already know the rhythm, but Big Bass Trophy Catch tweaks the formula just enough to keep it from feeling like a straight replay.

The core is still about collecting fish values during free spins, with fisherman wilds pulling everything in. The difference is how the feature triggers and evolves. Free spins can activate through collection rather than just scatter hits, and once you’re in, multiple modifiers can stack, more fish, more collectors, or boosted payouts across the board.

It runs on a 96.5% RTP, high volatility, and a 5,000x max win, so expectations are pretty clear. Long quiet stretches are part of the deal, but when the bonus lines up with the right modifiers, it can escalate quickly.

Familiar, yes, but slightly sharper in how it builds momentum.

Power of Ten takes this one, and it’s not even trying to compete for attention.

Most of the time, it feels quiet. Spins go by, nothing dramatic, nothing flashy. Then a Power Wheel drops in and just sits there like it knows something you don’t. When it finally activates, that’s where the shift happens. One turns into two, two into a stack, and suddenly a dead-looking spin isn’t so dead anymore.

That’s the whole trick. It doesn’t hype every spin, it waits for the right one.

With a 96.23% RTP, high volatility, and a max win that can stretch into proper territory, it’s built for players who don’t mind the silence before the hit. No distractions, just a setup, and a payoff if it lands.

This week doesn’t line up neatly, and it’s better for it.

Link Quest is slow and deliberate, asking you to wait for the board to come together. Boom cuts straight through that, deciding outcomes in a single move, either it lands or it doesn’t. Power of Ten barely reacts until it suddenly does, while Big Bass Trophy Catch just keeps looping its formula, relying on the bonus to carry everything.

Some of these ask you to sit through quiet spins. Others don’t give you time to think at all. That’s the split this week, either you’re building toward something, or you’re waiting for it to drop in one shot.

You’re not picking the “best” slot here. You’re picking how you want it to play out.
