Stampeding into the spotlight is 3 Lucky Hippos 2™ (23 October) from PearFiction Studios, a highly anticipated sequel that dials up the energy, humour, and feature set of the original. The three iconic Hippos return – bolder and brighter than ever – joined by a new bird guarding a new Bonus Wheel pot. With four new Frog Collectors, each bringing unique mid-spin mechanics, players are in for a cascade of multipliers, expanding reels, and potential jackpots. Coin Collect, symbol transformations, and stacked modifiers drive volatile, conversion-friendly gameplay, while the game’s vibrant art direction and unpredictable charm ensure strong promotional cut-through
Stacking up the action is Pile 'Em Up 2™ (21 October) from Snowborn Games, the sequel to the original retro-themed fan-favourite. This follow-up elevates the Cash Collect experience with the addition of the Extra Collect symbol, which upgrades all coins on the reels with fresh cash values before multiplying them with the Coin Booster for amplified wins. Trigger 10 Free Spins with three Scatters, where Collect and Extra Collect symbols land more frequently, culminating in the Super Respin for further potential. Each reel also unlocks a unique Bonus Game, with five Hyper Frames™-powered features and tiered frames leading to cash prizes or jackpots, multiplied up to 5x when gold frames are hit.
Adding some heat to the line-up is Chili Fusion™ (22 October) from Slingshot Studios, the latest instalment in the studio’s Fusion series. Five animated chili characters each bring a unique boost to the reels: Wild Multipliers, Wild Adders, Walking Wilds, and two jackpot tiers. Star-shaped Piñatas activate or upgrade these features mid-spin, while HOT MODE dramatically increases their appearance for further potential. Three Scatters unlock Free Spins focused on a randomly selected chili via a Bonus Wheel, while near-miss Scatters feed into a Free Spins Multiplier Trail, building value with every drop.
Crossing into new territory is Runaway Chicken™ (20 October) from Switch Studios, the studio’s first take on the fast-growing crash game genre. Players take on the role of an ambitious chicken dashing across nine roads, spread across three levels, in pursuit of ever-increasing potential prizes. With a simple tap mechanic, Runaway Chicken™ delivers a light-hearted, strategic twist on the crash format, tailored for modern lobbies and snackable gameplay sessions.
Shaking things up is Miami Reels Power Combo™ (22 October) from Foxium, a cocktail of vibrant features and summer-infused gameplay. Set on sun-drenched reels with a beach-club vibe, players collect ingredients to blend Free Spins, symbol upgrades, and Multi Grow multipliers into Power Combo™ bonuses. Each bonus game brings fresh juice to the reels; whether it’s extra spins or feature-boosting add-ons.
Lighting up the last stage for the week is Prize Ladder™ (20 October) from Northern Lights Gaming, a neon-soaked, fruit-themed slot with a dazzling game show twist. This Any Ways Rolling Reels™ title pays both directions, with cascading wins increasing symbol values on the Prize Ladder after each drop. Land three Scatters to trigger Free Spins, where those values are locked in, and hit Super Spins by filling reels 1 or 5 with matching symbols to clear the grid for potential payouts.
