Its features can deliver wins up to 5,000x the spin bet, accompanied by animated effects. Players follow dwarf gold hunters into dark caverns, where ‘Gold Spins’ offers a free spins round with 10x up to 1,000x multipliers. An ‘Ante Bet’ option also raises the chance of triggering the free spins game.

Narcos Mexico - Red Tiger
Narcos, a NetEnt title based on the Netflix hit series, brought players into the shadowy world of Colombian cartels during the 70s and 80s. The television story later shifted to Mexico, before Pablo Escobar’s era, in another successful series. For the slot Narcos Mexico, NetEnt sister studio Red Tiger Gaming adapted its music and characters for the reels. The result was a notable follow-up to the earlier game.
The game offers up to 10,000x the bet across 5x3 reels and 243-ways-to-win, carrying forward the layout of its predecessor. ‘Cartel Spins’ lets players gamble winnings for larger prizes through substantial multipliers. Planes may pass above the reels and drop random wilds, while a mafia boss can double a win after any winning spin.
- RTP: 95.70%
- Pay ways: 243 ways-to-win
- Reels: 5x3
- Min/ Max Bet: 0.20–10.00
Moon Princess 100 – Play’n Go
Play’n Go expanded its cluster pays slot lineup with another entry in the studio’s ‘Grid Pay Slots’ collection. The collection includes over 36 games, among them 30 cluster pays titles. The original Moon Princess, built around 20 pay lines, remained one of the developer’s top 10 most played slots globally. Moon Princess 100 is the series’ third game, following the cluster pays release ‘Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom’.
Moon Princess 100 brought the series’ latest instalment to the online casino market. Three anime princesses help form cluster wins on a 5x5 grid, with cascading reels triggering whenever a cluster lands. Players can collect symbols on a metre to pursue up to 100 free spins, with 100x multipliers available. Princess Live, Star and Storm may also appear at random to add wilds, turn symbols into one type or remove symbols to create winning clusters.

- Reels: 5x5
- Min/ Max Bet: 0.20–60.00

The release added another game to Relax Gaming’s portfolio.
The Great Pigsby Megapays follows The Great Pigsby, a 243-ways-to-win slot. Its setting nods to ‘The Great Gatsby’, the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, with players transported to Pigsby’s mansion. Megaways reels offer 117, 649 ways-to-win and a stated maximum win of x20,000. A Megapays progressive jackpot is another possible feature. The game also includes Re-spins, Wild Re-spins, and the top-paying Pigsby symbol can spread across the reels at random.
