As we draw nearer to the end of 2014 the team behind RealMoneyOnlineCasinos.com thought this would be the perfect time to look back at the three most popular online slot machines to be released this year.
As we are sure you aware there has been an incredible amount of high quality slot releases this year so it was a pretty touch choice. We decided to narrow it down to the top three slots based on the feedback from players and the slots of choice turned out to be Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, South Park Reel Chaos, and Game of Thrones – all of which are fantastic and offer opportunities for huge wins thanks to their bonus features. Below you can view a screenshot and learn more about each game.
Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
Where to play: www.DrakeCasino.eu Rating: 10/10 Developer: Betsoft Gaming
Dr Jekyll & MR Hyde was by far the best 3D slot machine to be released by Betsoft Gaming in 2014 and saw their trend of stunning graphics and animated scenes continue to impress players. It is based on the old tale written by Robert Louis Stevenson which told the story of a man with split personalities – Jekyll, which has his good side, or Hyde, which was his evil side. Like the majority of games by Betsoft Gaming it contains 5 reels and 30 paylines, and allows for a maximum bet of $75 per spin – with a win of up to 480,000 credits available. The slot is set inside Dr Jekyll’s laboratory and symbols include the Mansion, fireplace, policeman, laboratory book and more to fit the theme perfectly. It is the bonus features which make Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde so popular though, with a total of five on offer which are: Wild Hydes, Blue Potion Bonus, Free Spins Game, Frenzy Bonus, and Potions Bonus. Our favorite is the free spins game which requires an accumulation of 100 red potion symbols landing on the reels and there are no set amount of spins – the feature only ends when an accumulation of 12 blue potion symbols have landed on the reels.

South Park Reel Chaos
Where to play: www.MrGreen.com Rating: 10/10 Developer: NetEnt
South Park Reel Chaos was a sequel to the first South Park slot machine released by Net Entertainment, and it certainly exceeded expectations thanks to the incredible bonus features included. This time NetEnt designed the game around the character’s superhero exploits, as featured in season 14 of the hit TV series. As is the norm with games from NetEnt, South Park Reel Chaos contains 5 reels and 20 paylines, offers a maximum spin of €100 each time, and contains a maximum win of 650,000 coins. As you would expect from a NetEnt licensed slot, the characters are used as symbols in the style of their alter-ego’s including Professor Chaos, Cartman as Coon, Kenny as Mysterion, Stan as Toolshed, and Kyle as the Human Kite. There is also a bonus game revolving around each of the four main characters – Cartman (stacked wilds), Kenny (multiplier bonus), Stan (multiplying re-spin), Kyle (overlay wilds). Plus there is the Mintberry Crunch Epic Bonus Spins feature which sees Mintberry Crunch battle against General Disarray, Evil Minions, Anime Professor Chaos and standard Professor Chaos and should you see victory in all four battles you are in for a big reward!

Game of Thrones
Where to play: www.32Red.com Rating: 10/10 Developer: Microgaming
The most highly anticipated slot machine from Microgaming this year was Game of Thrones, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. It is a licensed slot based on the hit television series which has been airing since 2011 and has gained fans around the world. Interestingly the Game of Thrones slot machine offers players the choice to play in 15 paylines mode, or 243-ways mode which is a great touch. Sadly for fans of the series there are no character symbols of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, or Tyrion Lannister on the reels which would have been great. Instead the symbols and free spins bonus feature revolve around the four houses – Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, and Targarven. The Barartheon free spins feature can prove to be hugely rewarding with 8 free spins with an 8x multiplier attached, while Targerven offers 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier attached.

We are very much looking forward to reviewing new slots released throughout 2015 and anticipate that the games will be bigger and better than ever, which always seems to be the case every year. Speaking of big, one of the other biggest slots of the year which narrowly missed out on our list was Net Entertainment’s new progressive jackpot Mega Fortune Dreams which has already created several millionaires and we are sure there will be many more lucky winners next year!
