Slot Sequels in 2021: Sometimes, when something is genuinely good, there’s real demand from the consumer for more of the same. It’s why sequels exist in film, literature, and gaming. For example, whenever a great film has been released, there’s usually been a sequel. Shrek 2. Toy Story 2. The Godfather 2. Terminator 2. It also explains why there’s no Battlefield Earth 2. You get my point- also play Fishing Frenzy slot game.
Slots games online are no different. That’s why the slots developer Play’n Go has released their first sequel of 2021 entitled House of Doom 2: The Crypt.
House of Doom 2: The Crypt
Fans of the original will know that this is a sequel to 2018’s House of Doom, and what’s more, Play’n Go have collaborated with rock band ‘The Crypt’ for a Heavy Metal-cum-fantasy themed slots game which won’t disappoint.
However, Martin Zettergen, CPO of Play’n GO, recognises that the secret to a good music-themed slots game is not just to rely on a popular band to draw in players.
“Some slots based around bands have put no effort into gameplay. They’re relying on the fanbase to play the game purely because they recognise the faces. You need to make sure that it’s still a game that players would enjoy, even if you stripped away the slot’s band theme.” – Martin Zettergen, CPO of Play’n Go [1]
The slots game itself slot is played using 5 reels and 20 pay-lines and comes with three different game zones. There are free spins features, wilds, and a maximum win of 6000x your stake.
The RTP percentage is slightly above average at 96.25% and stakes range from 20p to £100. It’s definitely one of the sequels of 2021.
Any other slots sequels this year?
Interestingly, Czech gambling company Synot Games has also published some important goals of its 2021 product roadmap, including plans to launch sequels for its top performing games.
As part of an interview for SlotCatalog, Business Solutions manager Filip Hlaváček confirmed:
“We have a couple of sequels planned for our top performing games, such as Joker 50 Deluxe and Book of Secrets 6. There is even talk of one for Respin Joker.” – Filip Hlaváček , Business Solutions Manager, Synot Games [2]
Respin Joker, thought to be a certain contender for a sequel this year, is arguably the biggest success story of the Synot Games portfolio.
Hlaváček notes that the success of Respin Joker is down to the fact that it’s exactly what a ‘classic slot’ should be.
“It has symbols perfect for mobile play, it’s simple, but shows complex and exciting outcomes, its gameplay speed is suitable for sessions of any duration and with a comfortable volatility. If you long for a classic slot, or want to go back to the roots of slot machines, you should definitely give Respin Joker a go.” – Filip Hlaváček , Business Solutions Manager, Synot Games [3]
