Strictly Slots November 2022

Here’s a totally subjective lineup of what I consider the top 10 new slot games revealed at G2E BY FRANK LEGATO

A s longtime readers of Strictly Slots know, every fall, the casino industry stages a huge trade show, the Global Gaming Expo (G2E),at which the slot manufacturers roll out the new games that will be released over the subsequent months.It’s like the auto industry’s rollout of the “new model year.” You may have seen my cover story last month highlighting the new games for the coming year. However, something else I do every year is publish my own personal“Top 10” among the new games.This is a completely sub jective list of what I thought were the best games launched at G2E. Note the word “subjective.”This is com pletely my opinion, based on the 38 years

(whew!) I’ve been writing about slot machines.The fact I thought these games were cool doesn’t mean you will like them as much,or even that they will be popular in general.They’re just innovative,fun games to watch out for. Here’s my lineup of slot games to watch for in the coming months:

1. Fruit Ninja Frenzy Everi Holdings

While there were a lot of games that caught my eye at G2E, I have to say this one was my favorite. First introduced as one of the base games for theTournEvent tournament system,Fruit Ninja Frenzy has at its heart a“frenzy”of player interaction in a fast-paced bonus event, as various pieces of fruit fly across the screen and the player physi cally swipes and slashes the touch-screen to obliterate as many pieces of fruit as possible within a short time, revealing bonus awards each time.This game is a blast.
