This Microgaming (Apricot) release stacks rolling reels with mystery symbols, a Firepot mechanic, and a generous free spins feature, creating bursts of cascading wins and jackpot-style excitement. The design rewards chained combos, so patience and steady bankroll management tend to pay off. Learn more about its symbols and bonus rounds in our review of 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger.

Classic charm with a modern twist: Irish Charms (Pragmatic Play)

Mythic fights and free spins: Sword of Ares (Pragmatic Play)

Sword of Ares is a six-reel video slot steeped in ancient Greece. With a 20-payline layout, a Multiplier Collection feature, tumble mechanics, and a 15-free-spins bonus, it’s designed for players who like layered bonus systems that build through the round. The buy-free-spins option gives you control over how quickly you reach the high-volatility moments, but remember that buy options typically increase variance and bankroll risk.

Providers powering the drops — who made these games

The new drops come from trusted studios featured at PokiesCity, including Microgaming (Apricot) and Pragmatic Play, both known for tight math models and rich bonus engineering. Microgaming’s long history shows in multi-feature titles like Boom Pirates and 8 Golden Skulls, while Pragmatic Play focuses on crisp mechanics and accessible volatility in games such as Irish Charms and Sword of Ares.

Tips to get the most from these releases

Start small to assess volatility and bonus frequency, and use the coin-size options to control session length. If a title offers a buy-free-spins feature, weigh the immediate thrill against higher variance and bigger bankroll swings. Keep an eye on game-specific wagering contributions if you plan to use bonus funds — not all slots contribute equally towards bonus clearance. These simple habits bring clarity and fairness to your play and help maintain momentum without overreaching.

Play smart and stay in control

New game drops are designed to entertain and surprise, not to guarantee wins. Set deposit limits, try time-outs if you need a break, and use self-exclusion tools if play stops being fun. PokiesCity provides multiple responsible-gambling options and clear terms so you can keep your sessions balanced. Ready to try the new lineup? Spin responsibly and enjoy the fresh features.
