Released on 7 October 2026, Soju Power Maxways is the second most recent Microgaming slot in this catalogue, after Moonlight Romance – Twilight (14 October 2026). It publishes a 95.95% RTP, High volatility, a 10,000x max win and bets of 0.10 to 20.00 — yet its format field carries a feature name, 'Wild Multiplier', where a reel layout would normally sit. This review reads it against the two other Maxways titles on file.
Released on 28 January 2026, Luck of the Devil: POWER COMBO is the newest of the 11 Power Combo entries in this catalogue. Five reels and 40 lines, a published RTP of 96.20%, High volatility and bets of 0.20 to 20.00; the max win is not published. This review maps where those figures fall within the series.
12 Skulls of the Dead is one of 22 MG slots that publish all of RTP, volatility, max win, bet range and release date. Published RTP 96.00%, High volatility, a 3,000x max win and bets of 0.20 to 80.00. This review centres on that 3,000x — sixth-lowest of the 52 published caps — and an 80.00 top bet no other title in the catalogue shares.
Joker Loko's Multiplier Trail is a five-reel, 25-line slot released on 24 September 2025. Its published 96.13% RTP is 0.02 points off Microgaming's 96.15% median — effectively dead centre. Volatility is High; max win and bet range are not published. This review compares it with the five other 25-line titles.
Bears Make Bank! Power Combo is the only one of the 11 Power Combo entries graded Medium-high for volatility. Released 13 August 2025, five reels and 40 lines, published RTP 96.15%. Max win and bet range are not published. This review looks at where that uncommon grade sits in the catalogue.
Released in July 2025, Andvari the Golden Fish is an ocean-themed 5-reel, 40-line slot with a published RTP of 96.24% and Medium-high volatility. Neither a max win nor a bet range appears in the catalogue. This review places those figures among Microgaming's eight 40-line titles.
Almighty Poseidon Empire is a Microgaming slot with no blank fields on its spec sheet: RTP 96.19%, High volatility, a 2,000x max win, bets of 0.20 to 40, and a 5-reel, 20-line layout. Set beside the Athena and Dionysus 'Empire' titles, the numbers show it took a different direction from its siblings.
African Wilds puts a lion and an explorer on the barest of frames, three reels and a single line, in a 2025 release. Published RTP 95.94%, Medium volatility, bets of 0.01 to 300. Its spec overlaps almost entirely with Lucky Shot, which uses the same frame, except for an RTP gap of 3.78 points.
Hades Lost Treasures is a 5-reel, 3125-ways slot from October 2024, with a published RTP of 96.23% and High volatility. Of the six dated Microgaming Greek-myth slots, five publish both a max win and a bet range; this is the one that leaves both fields empty.
Go! Fishing: Reelin' Fortunes is a 5-reel, 20-line fishing slot released on 14 May 2025, with a published RTP of 96.05% and Medium-high volatility. It shares its format with the catalogue's other fishing title, Fish 'Em Up, but the two publish very different amounts of information.
The three dated Almighty Empire entries are all marked High, yet the layouts could hardly differ more. Different structures under one label.
A cap of 2,114× — not a round number. And how its label splits from a Microgaming sports slot sharing the same RTP.
The Lucky Twins name covers everything from Low to Very high. A brand name says nothing about volatility.
One numeral apart in name from Froot Loot, listed the same day — and at the opposite volatility. Both publish an RTP in the 92% range.
Three of the four 'Retro Roller' titles share an entire spec sheet. What the suffix groups together.
Its 97.49% is the highest published RTP among Microgaming slots — and two titles share it. What the two have in common.
Three 9-line slots from 2012 share an identical spec sheet — the same numbers dressed as jungle, beach and party.
The earliest-dated Microgaming slot on the site. How far a spec sheet without an RTP can be read.
The highest published cap in the site's entire catalogue — yet a lower volatility index than its predecessor, Tombstone R.I.P.
The highest volatility index in Nolimit City's catalogue. Against the original, index and cap move by very different amounts.
A sequel that adds two mechanics to the original Mental's three — and the index and cap rise with them.
A game sitting exactly at 5 on Play'n GO's 1-10 index. Its remake changes not just the grade but the grid size.
A game whose spec sheet gives a hexagonal column layout instead of a reel count. Against its remake, hit rate and cap both change sharply.
Across three instalments the hit rate barely moves. The volatility index and the cap are what change.
A remake that nudges Wolf Gold's RTP, volatility grade and cap up by one step — a gentler change than most remakes.
The '1000' remake with the biggest grade jump: from the original's Medium straight past High to Very high.
A rare '1000' remake whose volatility grade matches the original. The same suffix does not always mean the same change.
A remake with the same RTP as the original and only the volatility grade and cap raised — proof that an unchanged RTP can hide a changed game.
The longest feature list in Booongo's catalogue, with Megaways and Hold & Win named in the same game.
One of the least-described entries in Booongo's catalogue: a line count and a release date, and nothing else.
The grid stays, but in the sequel 'Hold and Win' leaves both the name and the feature list — a telling change at a studio whose titles double as format labels.
A follow-up that adds free spins to the original Dragon Pearls set-up — and a look at how many Booongo Hold & Win titles also list free spins.
The instalment where free spins first appear in the feature list of Booongo's flagship series. With no figures published, the feature list is what changes.
Released on the same day and at the same RTP as Mahjong Ways 2, with a very different cap. It shows how little a single RTP says about a game's character.
On published specs alone it is almost indistinguishable from Mahjong Ways — a good test of how far a half-published spec sheet can go.
Sequels do not always raise the cap. Dragon Hatch is an original with a higher published cap than its follow-up.
The only Fortune title whose spec sheet spells out its row layout. That the middle reel is one row taller is published structure, not guesswork.
Line PG Soft's 3-reel Fortune titles up by release date and only the win cap climbs; the RTP barely moves. Fortune Tiger is the third step.
The first of the four Thunderstruck titles. Read from the original's side: how a series that began as a 5-reel, 9-line slot in 2012 changed its format by 2022 — and how little its published figures moved along the way.
The only entry in the series with a different RTP. A look at the switch from 9 lines to 243 ways, and at what the 96.65% figure — set against three siblings at 96.10% — does and does not tell you.
The series' newest entry and its widest format (1024 ways). More than ten years on, RTP and volatility match the original, while the bet range is not published at all. It is also the only series title with a feature name recorded in the hub.
One of the few Microgaming slots whose volatility the studio publishes as Low. Paired with Thunderstruck (High), released the same day, this review reads what a 'Low' label does and does not tell you.
Volatility is Low, yet the max win is 10,000x. The pair looks mismatched, but they answer different questions, so there's no contradiction. Published RTP 96.27%, five reels and ten lines, bets 0.10 to 25.00. This review covers reading the volatility grade and the cap as separate facts.
A six-reel cluster-pays slot starring a chef panda. Published RTP 96.15%, High volatility, a 15,000x cap and bets of 0.20 to 40.00 — the second-highest cap among Microgaming cluster titles that publish one. Compared here with Whale Rush from the same family and Mighty Panda, another panda-themed cluster game.
Six reels, 117,649 ways and an 18,000x cap — only nine Microgaming slots that publish one in this catalogue go higher, and within the 117,649-ways format it shares the top spot with Curse of Medusa. Published RTP 96.10%, High volatility, bets 0.10 to 20.00.
A cluster-pays slot starring a crowned whale calf. Published RTP 96.04%, Very high volatility, a 10,000x cap and bets of 0.20 to 20.00. This review looks at cute art sitting on top of a Very high grade, and at the two multiplier features the studio lists.
All three listed features start with 'Power'. What the Power Combo naming tells you, and what it doesn't.
One of 14 cluster-family titles among this catalogue’s 145 Microgaming slots. What its listed 'Candy Meter' does and does not tell you.
All three 'Almighty … Empire' titles carry a High label, yet each is built differently. The differences under one label.
The format field says Cluster Pays; the feature list says Pay Anywhere. How to read a record carrying both.
A horror theme with a Low volatility label. Mood and volatility have nothing to do with each other.
The Pay Anywhere payout model — neither lines nor clusters — and how the studio records volatility as a number.
Format, label, cap and minimum bet all match Gates of Olympus; only the RTP differs. What that gap does and does not mean.
What changes when cluster pays — adjacent groups instead of lines — is combined with tumbling.
A cluster slot whose feature field does not name free spins. Unlisted and absent are not the same thing.
What the Money Collection mechanic refers to, and what a Medium label and a 2,100× cap say together.
What sticky and multiplier wilds do, and how the published figures split from the Megaways version.
Its listed mechanics match The Dog House exactly, yet the label and cap differ. The same parts list does not make the same game.
Set beside the original Great Rhino, the published figures show how much a format change alone rewrites the spec sheet.
What the Megaways label actually promises — and what this title's spec sheet leaves blank.
A Megaways slot whose published feature list includes an Ante Bet. What that entry means, and what the studio leaves out.
The Evolution entry on this site with the least published description. An ice-fishing concept, a physical set, a host and a round-based bonus — those four are all that is known. This review looks at how far a one-line description can take you.
One card per side and the round is over — the shortest format among live card games. What 'Super Speed' changes is the gap between rounds, not the rules. This review separates the two and compares the published scope with Microgaming's Dragon Tiger.
A blackjack table listed with the live casino titles, but with no dealer. Going by the brand page, an RNG decides the cards and only the visuals are live-style. This review looks at what the 'First Person' label does and doesn't mean.
A live game show run on a single large wheel. No cards, no roulette pockets — the wheel's segment layout is the rulebook. And that layout is not published. This review looks at why published information matters even more in a wheel game.
A standard European roulette table with one extra layer on top: random multiplier numbers. The roulette underneath runs on rules everyone knows; the layer on top has no published figures at all. This review reads the two layers separately.
Exactly the same 96.14% RTP as its sequel, yet the index more than doubles — RTP saying nothing about volatility.
The series index jumps from 9.96 to 24.78, then comes back to 21.01. Sequels do not always get wilder.
The maximum bet is 1. The highest hit frequency and the narrowest bet range in this batch.
The lowest hit frequency and the highest cap in this batch — published figures pointing to the extreme end.
One of the lowest indices in this Nolimit City batch, yet a 150,000x cap — index and cap moving independently.
Nolimit City's signature title stacking three x-mechanics. Here its index and cap sit beside Mental II's.
A rare Habanero title with no published max win. The blank stays a blank rather than an estimate.
The original's cap is higher than the Deluxe version's. Within the same Very high grade, a follow-up does not necessarily carry the bigger cap.
Where most Habanero titles publish five RTP builds, this 2014 release lists just two.
Eighty-eight lines, yet graded Low. A reminder that line count and volatility are separate figures.
3x3, eight lines, graded Low, capped at 188x — a small build whose figures all point the same way.
Habanero publishes RTP only as a list of builds, with no default named. This title's list runs to five builds, from 86% to 98%.
The same High grade as Book of Dead, but index 9 — showing where the top of that grade sits.
The most unusual bet range in this Play'n GO batch: a 0.3 minimum and a 90 maximum.
The oldest of the three Tome titles, yet the highest default RTP — and the lowest cap.
Within the same Medium grade, the index splits into 4, 5 and 6. The three Fire Joker titles show what the grade alone hides.
The series opener is graded Medium; its follow-ups climb the grade ladder one rung at a time. This reads the original as that starting rung.
Play'n GO's signature line slot, published with both a grade and an index. The 2026 follow-up keeps the index but changes the cap and bet range.
The highest published RTP and the lowest index in this NetEnt batch. The sequel moves both figures the other way.
Put the 243-ways original and its two follow-ups on one scale and you can see how index and cap shift as the route count grows.
A spec sheet whose split RTP shares do not add up to the headline figure. The unexplained remainder is itself the thing to read.
A rare case where RTP is published split into base-game and bonus shares. Same index as the original, different cap.
The only title in this NetEnt batch with an RTP below 96%. The gap to its sequel is wider in index and cap than in RTP.
A classic sitting near the bottom of NetEnt's volatility index. Set beside its own sequels, the index and the win cap move together.
The board's second Booongo review. Where 3 Royal Coins sat at this catalogue's minimum build — 3x3, five lines — this title sits at the other end: a 6x7 grid with 117,649 ways. And the same record also carries a 649-line figure. A rare case where both notations appear at once.
The missing first lesson in this board's payline → ways → Pay Anywhere sequence on pay types. A rare pair where the grade and the cap move together — a 2/5 (Low) volatility mark and a 2,500× cap, both low in the same direction.
Same catalogue, same western setting, and an index roughly half of Fire in the Hole 3's 30.93. This pair — hit frequency held almost steady while the index and cap drop hard — shows that even inside one studio, the extreme is not the standard.
The board's second PG Soft review. A diamond-shaped grid with a different row count per reel that multiplies out exactly to the published 576 ways — a rare chance to check the arithmetic — plus another look at this studio's maximum-RTP disclosure habit.
The board's third Play'n GO review. In a franchise known for cluster and grid formats, this is the one Reactoonz title published with a 16,807-ways pay type. A rare case of the pay type itself splitting within one franchise.
The board's first Hacksaw Gaming review. If the PG Soft review sat at the half-empty end of the disclosure range, this studio sits at the other — volatility as a number on a five-point scale, RTP as a list of configurations rather than a single figure. The subject here is what to be careful about when a spec sheet is full.
The board's first Booongo review. This studio's catalogue publishes no RTP and no volatility, but states structure — grid, line count, feature list — all the way down. With zero published figures, a 3x3 five-line title becomes the test of how far structure and catalogue statistics can carry a reading.
The board's first PG Soft review. This studio publishes only RTP and the win cap — no volatility, hit rate or bet range — so the flagship title becomes a study in what a half-empty spec sheet can and cannot tell you.
The grade says medium, yet the win cap is higher than a HIGH-rated title on the same weekly list. A rare pair for learning that the grade word and the cap tell different stories.
The flagship of a studio that publishes volatility as the number 30.93 rather than a word like "high". No title demonstrates better that volatility labels are studio-specific rulers.
The standard textbook for "Pay Anywhere" — neither paylines nor ways. What it means for a combination to be defined by count rather than position, taught on screen.
Why a 2017 release is still the reference point for grid slots — and a showcase of Play'n GO's disclosure density: a grade, a 1-10 index and a hit rate, all published.
A 6×5 cascading-ways build that layers an idol stage over Greek myth. The screen rhythm alone explains why the volatility label reads "very high".
The gentlest introduction to the Link & Merge format — and the only title in this set rated medium-high rather than high or above.
The clearest on-screen demonstration of fixed lines versus variable ways — and it pairs the set's highest published RTP, 96.59%, with a very high volatility label.
Same format as Queen of Cairo: Royal Maxways, same volatility grade — and four times the win cap. The pair shows how coarse a volatility label really is.
The best screen for learning to tell a wild symbol from a linked-feature marker — precisely because the gold emblems do both jobs.
The Break Away series in a candy palette — a clean case study in how colour grouping supports feature recognition.
A demonstration of how a sports theme absorbs status display — the scoreboard metaphor does real UI work.
A plain video slot with no special format — the baseline. You need to know what standard looks like before variation means anything.
