New slot technologies; will there be a new Megaways?

In recent years, game providers like Yggdrasil and Red Tiger have introduced new slot technologies, hoping to emulate the great success of BTG's Megaways concept. Good examples include Infinity Reels (Reel Play), Popwins (Yggdrasil) and Nolimit City's xNudge and xWays game mechanics. Some concepts were very popular and are still popular today. Others have flopped.

Gigablox

After the failed game mechanisms Popwins and Splitz, Yggdrasil is now trying it with Gigablox. In online slots with Gigablox, symbols of different sizes appear on the playing field at each spin. The symbols can be 2x2 in size, but also 6x6. In our opinion, Gigablox does not pass 100% as a brand new mechanism. Mega Blocks or Colossal symbols have existed for some time. In Netent's Asgardian Stones and Spinata Grande, for example, you encounter 3x3 mega symbols. In Gigablox it's mainly about the fact that the mega symbols appear in different sizes, but you probably understand our point, reported https://aolbroadband.in/real-cash/.

The first Gigablox release called Lucky Neko: Gigablox saw the light of day back in June 2020. This was followed by games like Hades, Gator Gold and Golden Fish Tank 2. With fruitful collaborations with studios like Peter & Sons and Bulletproof Games, Yggdrasil seems to be going all out to get gamblers 'hooked'. Top-Casino will continue to keep a close eye on Gigabox to make a final judgment.

Chaos Clusters

No Mega Clusters, but Chaos Clusters. That is what Swedish game maker Quickspin wants to create a furore with this spring. The Chaos Cluster mechanism with trademark allows for more winning combinations and even longer win chains. More details are not known about the new concept at this time. The debut Azticons Chaos Cluster with jungle theme also features a feature that converts symbols and helps you create clusters plus a free spins bonus with progressive multipliers. We are curious to see what kind of reactions the release of Azticons Chaos Cluster will bring to gamblers.

Infinity Reels

We at Top-Casino are very fond of slots with Infinity Reels, introduced in 2020 by Reel Play in the casino game El Dorado Infinity Reels. The idea behind Infinity Reels is child simple: every time you make a winning combination, one complete reel is added to the grid. Theoretically, this process can continue indefinitely. If no more winning combinations are made, the grid is transformed to its original state. Despite the high fun factor, the concept is only embraced by a handful of providers. Meanwhile, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger and Relax Gaming have released games with this mechanism. Big boys like Pragmatic and Play'n Go do not. Infinity Reels or InfiniReels are in any case not as booming business as Megaways.

Megaquads

Even the pioneer of groundbreaking game mechanics, Big Time Gaming itself, has taken a shot at a second big hit after their blockbuster. Their latest creation Megaquads (launched in late 2020) is characterized, like Megaways, by the large number of ways to win. In Megaquads, you play on four sets of reels simultaneously, which can also be merged at certain times. Unfortunately, after the release of Slot Vegas Megaquads and the Fully Loaded variant, we have not spotted another Megaquads slot machine (from BTG or any other provider). This leaves the counter of Megaquads games at two.
