The well-known resource Big Win Board has published a list of, in their opinion, the best slot machines of 2018. The list contains quite unexpected options for me, so I would like to know the opinion of other players. The list goes from 10th place to the best.
In my opinion, Fat Rabbit from Push Gaming is absolutely deservedly included in the list. This is a fun, bright and unusual slot machine, but certainly one of the best or at least the most memorable this year. This game culminates in a bonus game where the rabbit eats carrots and grows to mega size if you're lucky.
This game would not even be considered in my list of the best slots of 2018. But according to the Big Win Board, Quickspin's Ivan and the Immortal King with 10,000x potential, great graphics and interesting features deserves ninth place. The theme is a Russian folk tale about Ivan and Koshchei the Immortal. This is perhaps the most remarkable thing about the slot, as the theme of Russia is rarely touched upon, and even more so Russian fairy tales.
Having released the Valkyrie slot machine, ELK Studios, as it were, rose from oblivion a little. Such an epic mood, combined with a good potential (5,000x), gives the right to 8th place. And in terms of graphics, ELK Studios has always been on top.
MegaWays slot releases never go unnoticed. Blueprint Gaming were one of the first to buy permission for this slot mechanic and with Primal MegaWays they changed my idea of their level. This is a really decent slot machine. 6x5 reels, up to 30 free spins with multipliers up to 6x. Even nicer is that the bonus game guarantees a win of at least 10x. If at the end of the round there is less, the free spins are restarted.
The Big Win Board notes that Play'n GO, who are the developer of this slot, combined the mechanics of White Rabbit with the graphics of Dragon Born and got a good slot. Indeed, external similarities are correctly noted, and the bonus round is similar to White Rabbit. It feels, of course, not the same, if you know that the mechanics are borrowed. But that's pretty good too. I wouldn't call it one of the best slots of 2018, but the slot is decent.
It was Dark Vortex, and not any more high-profile release from Yggdrasil, that was included in the list of the best of this year. Perhaps you were expecting to see the mega novelty Nitro Circus here, or the continuation of the epic Viking saga, Vikings Go To Hell. But no. Considering all the components, the resource decided that one of the best is the Dark Vortex slot machine. Unusually for Yggdrasil, in this slot they offer the opportunity to buy a bonus round.
Some, probably, have already forgotten about such a developer as Thunderkick. At one time, they could be considered a Rising Star. But now they are hiding in the dense shadow of competitors. Their releases often go unnoticed, and slots get lost among the more hyped ones. Wild Heist at Peacock Manor is a really interesting slot machine. There are graphics and bonuses and even a story. In general, it will be very interesting. I advise you to try.
One of the top positions in the list of the best slots of 2018 should have definitely gone to the MegaWays slot. Extra Chilli from Big Time Gaming fits in perfectly. This is a very close game to their famous Bonanza, but with some minor innovations. For example, players can purchase bonus spins. It is also possible to risk playing on these spins - you can risk and get more free spins or lose.
Undoubtedly, Vikings is one of the most anticipated releases of this year. The slot machine is actually worthy of the second place. A very powerful slot, you will not say anything. Appeared in the NetEnt casino relatively recently, and players have been waiting for much more than six months.
For their efforts and original ideas, Push Gaming deserve to show off in the first place. Their slots open and close this list of the best slots of 2018. Jammin' Jars feels very fresh and different. The first place, in my opinion, was given to him fairly.
