There’s still time to grab a slice of Pragmatic Play‘s £1 million prize pool on Fury of Anubis. The promotion runs until Sunday, 5 July. It’s the kind of offer that reminds you why mid-week slots can be properly rewarding if you time it right. Beyond the giveaway, this week brings five genuinely interesting new releases and a couple of substantially updated guides that are worth checking out if you’re serious about understanding how slots actually work.

Updated Guides Worth Reading

I’ve given two of our most popular guides a proper overhaul. The Megaways Slots guide now covers why the same game pays different RTPs across different operators, breaks down the maths behind those eye-watering 117,649 ways to win, and includes updated UK regulatory information alongside current top picks.

The Jackpot Slots guide is completely refreshed too. Every game now comes with a personal verdict and transparent RTP breakdowns so you understand the true house edge. New sections tackle the multi-version RTP trap, must-drop jackpot mechanics, actual odds, and how UK winnings work tax-free. If you’re playing progressives, this one’s essential reading.

Five New Slots Hitting This Week

Hell Butcher (Hacksaw Gaming) is a visceral 6×6 grid slot with Cluster Pays mechanics. Starting at 20p, it runs tumbles with successive multiplier wins and features four chained prisoners beneath the grid. Land a Hell Butcher Wild and it hooks one prisoner, doubling its value up to 128x in base game. Four free spins modes push multipliers to 512x. You’re looking at a strong 96.55% RTP and 20,000x max win.

Aliens Among Us (Pragmatic Play) combines a 6 reel, 19 payline layout with expanding alien wilds on central reels worth up to 200x. Multiple aliens stack their values across the middle section. Two free spins modes boost alien frequency, and you’re looking at 96.36% RTP with 15,000x max wins.

Supreme Zeus spins 5 reels with 1,024 ways from 10p. Super Cascades drive wins whilst a CoinWays mechanic in free spins multiplies Bronze, Silver and Gold coins reel-to-reel. Three free spins modes lead to 100 free spins in Last Ascension mode. 96.39% RTP, 12,500x max win.

Sunnydaze Asylum plays on 5 reels with 3,125 ways from 20p. Tumbles trigger multiplier scatters that reveal Silver multipliers (up to 100x) and Gold multipliers (up to 10x), which interact differently during cascades. 96.53% RTP, 10,000x max potential.

AFK Airport Security is a tongue-in-cheek travel slot on 5 reels with 243 ways. Base game randomly triggers up to 12 different features including expanding wilds, symbol multipliers up to 10x, and more. Three free spins tiers (Economy, Business, First Class) come with 7 spins and one to three persistent features. 19,693x max wins.

Max Win Machine keeps it simple: 3 reels, single payline, 5p minimum bet. Only two symbols (Lucky Seven and Nope), paying 1x, 10x, or 10,000x. High volatility, 96.22% RTP, hits roughly every 13.2 spins.
