Keep reading for a more detailed lowdown on these hot games of Q2, 2023.

Top 10 Monetary Wins

Wanted Dead or a Wild

Wanted Dead or a Wild took the top spot by a wide margin of almost €14,000. This amazing win was from a bet of just €10 and was produced by a massive multiplier of x6,408.

The game features three bonus rounds, each triggered by the appearance of a variety of scatter symbols. The Duel at Dawn bonus round awards ten free spins with extra VS symbols in the mix. These VS symbols in the base game also turn the entire reel they land on wild, two gunfighters then appear and battle it out to decide which of two multipliers is applied.

The second feature is The Great Train Robbery, a simple round of ten free spins with sticky wilds.

Lastly, there’s the Dead Man’s Hand bonus, which takes place in two phases, the first sees three refilling spins provide wilds and +1 multipliers which will then apply in the second phase where prizes are then awarded.

Mega Fortune

In second place is the aptly-named Mega Fortune, which delivered a €50,821 win from a multiplier of x1016.43 - less than half the game’s maximum multiplier of 2,162x.

The game’s free spins round is triggered by three or more of the champagne symbols appearing on the grid. Winnings paid out during this round will have an additional x5 multiplier applied to them.

Jackpot prizes can be won in the bonus round, which is activated when 3 or more bonus wheel symbols land. You can then spin these wheels to reveal coin or jackpot prizes.

Legacy of Dead

This twist on the ever-popular “Book of” format came in fourth place with a €32,630 win from a multiplier of x1631.5.

Legacy of Dead is set in an Egyptian temple, complete with flaming braziers to set the mood. The wild/scatter symbol is a burial chamber and landing three or more of these awards a round of eight free spins. When the round begins, a special expanding symbol is chosen at random, as is typical for a “Book of” slot but there are a couple of twists.

The first is that the special expanding symbols don’t need to be adjacent to create wins. The second and most exciting is that retriggering another ten free spins during the round brings another special expanding symbol into play, creating greater epic wins.

Top 10 Multiplier Wins

Wolfkin

Red Tiger Gaming’s Wolfkin took the top-spot for the highest multiplier win of the quarter by a wide margin with a truly monumental x30,653.67 multiplier.

The game features the Wolfkin Super Wild, which can appear at any time on the third reel and if any Stone Wolf scatters appear on the grid at the same time, they will be transformed into Wolf Wilds. If these Wolf Wilds form a 5-symbol winning line, they pay out x12 the bet.

On any spin, the Wolfkin Super Wild can spread its wings and remove symbols from the grid, allowing Stone Wolf scatters to fall in their places to be transformed in Wolf Wilds.

The free spins round is triggered by three or more scatter symbols and for the duration of the round the Wolfkin Super Wild is locked in place.

Dead or Alive 2

While Wanted Dead or a Wild dominates the highest monetary wins table, holding three positions, Dead or Alive 2 has the highest multiplier wins table covered, taking the second, fifth and seventh spots.

The game’s scatter symbols really are gold, unlocking three different bonus games, as well as paying out a massive 2,500x should you land five at once.

The first of these bonus games is Train Heist, sees each wild symbol that appears grant +1 free spins and a +1 multiplier that then persists for the remainder of the round, with a further +5 free spins being awarded if the multiplier reaches x16.

Then there’s the Old Saloon where there are sticky wilds a 2x multiplier on all wins, and finally High Noon, the most volatile of the bonus games, boasting a max potential win of 100,000x the bet.

Gonzo’s Quest Megaways

Taking third place in the rankings with a x15,700.3 win is Gonzo’s Quest Megaways.

The game features the popular cascading symbol mechanic, with each “Avalanche” of new symbols increasing the multiplier applied to wins from 1x to 2x, 3x, and finally 5x. There’s also the “Earthquake” feature, which occurs at random, removing all low-paying symbols to allow high-payers to fall into the spaces created.

The adventurous conquistador’s best chances of finding his own private El Dorado, is on the free spins round, which is activated by three scatters symbols and awards nine free spins, with further scatters each adding an three more spins. During this round, the “Avalanche Multiplier” is raised to 3x, 6x, 9x, and 15x.
