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 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.
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.
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.
