Some slot games are released in a series with sequels to popular games that may add more features or release a seasonal variety of the game. This is common for games that spike in popularity and become fan favourites. Some of the most popular series of online slot games include Age Of The Gods, Fishin Frenzy, and Big Bass.
Age Of The Gods
Age Of The Gods is a slot series based on Greek Mythology throughout the entire series, taking a closer look at different elements of the overall theme to develop a variety of different games. There are now over 30 different Age Of The Gods games within the series since it launched in 2016 including the popular Age Of The Gods: King Of Olympus.
The most recent game of the series was Age Of The Gods: King Of Olympus Fire Blaze Xtreme, released 8 years after the first game. It’s clear to see by looking at the first and most recent game that the theme has continued and been maintained well. Despite the 8-year gap between the first and most recent games, the overall look and design of the game remain relatively unchanged, maintaining the theme and making it easily recognisable. The symbols appear to be based on one another with slight differences. One vast difference between the games is the playing experience, which has a completely different layout and different bonuses available.
Age Of The Gods now has a different variety of casino games, including a live casino roulette game, however, it is the original that is the most popular in the series. Released in 2016, the original Age Of The Gods is the favourite among players. It features a very simple 5×3 playtable with 20 paylines, designed to be in the clouds of a Greek colosseum and interesting bonus symbols that vary depending on which God is matched in a combination. This design and gameplay is what allowed the game to project to what it is now, and it is clear to see why it is a player’s favourite.
Fishin Frenzy
Blueprint Gaming released the first of 14 games in the series, starting with the original Fishin Frenzy, in 2014. Over the course of the next 11 years, different varieties of this popular slot were released, however, it took 4 years for the second title of the series to launch, with 13 released in the five years from 2019 to 2024.
The most recent of the series was released in late 2024 with Fishin Frenzy Bubble Bonanza. It is noticeable between the two that the game has tried to maintain the theme by using the same familiar symbols. The background design is relatively the same, too, with the ocean being a dominant feature. The newest game does have the addition of more bonus features, but the overall design has been maintained, making it recognisable and keeping all the same aspects of the game that are loved by players. Over the development of the series, the Fishin Frenzy brand has introduced a variety of holiday-themed games, including a megaways version of the game.
Fishin Frenzy Megaways comes out on top as the most popular and general favourite fishin’ frenzy game. It features a 6×5 playtable and 15,625 different paylines in comparison to the original game’s 5×4 grid and 10 paylines. Furthermore, the original release featured a relatively simple format, which has since been expanded upon in recent years.
Big Bass
Big Bass is one of the biggest online slot game series in the world, with the first of the series, Big Bass Bonanza, being released in 2021. Over the next four years, 23 games were released, each featuring various play styles and themes.
The most recent addition to the series is Big Bass Return To The Races, a direct sequel to Big Bass Day At The Races. But how has Big Bass changed over time? Unlike the previous two games series mentioned, Big Bass has undergone a relatively large change in comparison. Whilst the first and most recent game has a totally different theme, the letters and numbers of the card symbols have remained the same colour but undergone a more clean-looking design than the originals, showing the development in terms of the design of the game. It is recognisable and has a more modern look. What makes the game even more recognisable is the use of the fisherman within the game, which has been used in every Big Bass game, building a character to go with the game and keeping players engaged as the game series develops.
Similar to Age Of The Gods, one of the early games of the series takes the number one spot in terms of the favourite and most popular games. Despite being 4 years old, Big Bass Bonanza is still the most popular of the series with its more simplistic slot mechanics and design. The game features fewer bonuses than other games in the series, but the simplistic design and easy-to-use mechanics have made for a fan favourite game.
