Amusnet, Swintt, Relax Gaming and a dozen other suppliers released new online slots during Week 40, 2026, with launches ranging from licensed branded ties to incremental franchise instalments. Titles announced include Amusnet’s Fortune Spells Buy Bonus and Cherry Cherry Baby, Swintt’s Diamond Tornado, Relax Gaming’s Money Train 5, Blueprint Gaming’s HBO-licensed House of the Dragon™, and Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus 2500.

Slot releases week 40 2026: who launched what

Amusnet published two new video slots. Fortune Spells Buy Bonus extends an existing magic-themed property with a Buy Bonus route into the feature and keeps the familiar wizard, fairy and unicorn characters. Cherry Cherry Baby revisits the fruit-slot template with retro visuals, Scatter mechanics and a Free Spins feature.

Swintt deployed Diamond Tornado, a Premium slot positioned as high volatility. The supplier says Diamond Tornado runs on a 4-3-3-3-4 reel layout, includes progressive multipliers and four local jackpots, and can pay up to 6,000x the selected stake.

Relax Gaming released Money Train 5, the fifth entry in its Money Train franchise. Relax previously described Money Train 4 as the series’ “last stand” but reversed course after player demand. Money Train 5 retains core mechanics from earlier releases while adding extra features and options.

Blueprint Gaming launched House of the Dragon™, an HBO-licensed slot developed in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences. The title is built around a collect-led feature set and adds a Dragon's Wheel mechanic that triggers a base and bonus money-collect process when a Dragon's Wheel scatter lands alongside a collect symbol.

Pragmatic Play published Gates of Olympus 2500, the newest Gates of Olympus instalment. The game brings back Zeus, reintroduces the tumble mechanic and offers multipliers of up to 2,500x plus four bonus game modes. Its tumble mechanic pays when eight or more matching symbols land anywhere on the reels and then triggers another tumble.

Booming Games released two titles in this batch. Mr. Oinkster's Key to Riches is a 5x3 slot with 40 fixed paylines, a central Wild Reel mechanic and a maximum win potential of 4,000x. The supplier also released Gates of Hercules 10,000, a 6x5 grid game with cascading reels, random multipliers and a free spins bonus offering increasing multipliers and a stated maximum win potential of 10,000x.

GAMOMAT introduced Throne of Atlantis, a six-reel game inspired by Greek mythology and the legend of Atlantis, made available exclusively through GAMOMAT’s G-RGS. The title pays anywhere on the screen and includes a Tumble Feature where winning symbols disappear and remaining symbols fall until no further combinations form.

Evoplay added Piggy Bank: Coinstorm to its Piggy Bank series. The 3x3 slot places collectible bonus coins on reels one and three with values from 1x to 15x, and those coins can carry Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots.

Games Global and exclusive partner Stormcraft Studios launched Immortal Romance ASSEMBL'EM™, a 5x3, 20-payline slot introducing the ASSEMBL'EM™ mechanic. The mechanic comprises five upgradeable feature cards — Unlocker, Collector, Jackpots, Multiplier and Adder — each with Ruby, Gold and Diamond tiers.

DEGEN Studios released Holy Wilds, built around a Holy Light Wild mechanic, escalating multipliers and three Free Spins modes culminating in a Demon King feature. The primary interaction triggers when Demon symbols land on reels two to five and the Priest converts symbols into Holy Light Wilds.

Spinomenal’s Wild Dragon Express - Hold & Hit 3x3 joins the supplier’s Hold & Hit 3x3 series on a 3x3 grid and includes a Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except Bonus and Bonus Collect. Red Rake Gaming released Triple Fiesta, a 5x3 HTML5 slot with 25 paylines and a Mexican celebration theme centred on a Skull Coins feature that can unlock one, two or all three minigames by collecting different coloured coins.

BGaming expanded its Divine Queen series with Divine Queen: Power of Sun, a sequel to Divine Queen: Heart of Ice. The game uses a pay-anywhere mechanic — eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay — includes cascading wins and "Cell Multipliers" that double when a cell is part of consecutive wins up to a maximum of ×128.

Mechanics and commercial positioning operators should note

Several suppliers emphasised maximum win potential and jackpot structures: Swintt’s Diamond Tornado (up to 6,000x), Booming Games’ Gates of Hercules 10,000 (10,000x) and Mr. Oinkster’s Key to Riches (4,000x). Progressive multipliers, local jackpots and collectible coins recur as design motifs across multiple releases.

Tumble or cascade mechanics appear in Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus 2500, GAMOMAT’s Throne of Atlantis and BGaming’s Divine Queen: Power of Sun. The tumble/cascade interaction is used both to extend base-game play and to layer multiplier mechanics or Cell Multipliers.

Collect-led feature sets show up in Blueprint Gaming’s House of the Dragon™ and Games Global’s Immortal Romance ASSEMBL'EM™, where collect mechanics feed upgradeable systems or wheels that unlock money-collect outcomes and card-based progression.

Operators buying new content should assess grid sizes (from 3x3 to 6x5), volatility positioning, jackpot connectivity and whether games use exclusive distribution channels — for example, GAMOMAT’s Throne of Atlantis is exclusive to G-RGS.

What suppliers and platform teams will need to implement

Integration checklists for operators and platform teams will focus on:

1. Jackpot and progressive network routing for titles with local or multi-tier jackpots.

2. Feature-rule verification for collect mechanics, ASSEMBL'EM™ card progression and Buy Bonus purchase flows.

3. UI adjustments for non-standard grids (3x3 and 4-3-3-3-4 layouts) and for tumble/cascade animations that affect session performance.

Content teams should also validate maximum win reporting and RTP configuration against commercial agreements; several suppliers explicitly state maximum win multiples and jackpot tiers in their product notes.
