While the end of 2017 is on the horizon, we didn’t expect to see plans for 2018 this early. NetEnt surprised us, however, in dishing out their plans for Q1 of 2018 with five brand new video slot titles that you can find at any NetEnt casino upon their release.

Each slot offers something different and we have no doubt that they’ll set the trend for what we can expect from other developers over the course of 2018. So, without any further ado, here is all the nitty-gritty details of the slots to expect in the first quarter of 2018 at your favourite mobile and online casinos.

Twin Spin Deluxe – 10th January 2018

Kicking off with January, our first game from the Swedish slot developer is Twin Spin Deluxe, a pseudo-sequel to Twin Spin. Some gamers have been fortunate enough to experience this slot already as it was released at the start of September to some NetEnt casinos out there.

NetEnt promises that this new incarnation will incorporate all the benefits of the original with a few twists thrown in. The fact that many of the beta-users have already dubbed it Twin Spins: Cluster Pays makes this an obvious clue. We await this long-anticipated sequel with baited breath!

Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse – 24th January 2018

Probably a Halloween slot released a little too late (or too early?), Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse is set to arrive to every NetEnt casino towards the end of January. A direct sequel to their Phantom of the Opera slot (which was stellar!), we cannot wait to see how this one will play it. We imagine many of the mechanics will be similar and expect to encounter one or two scares as we experience the story of the ill-fated opera house and its titular phantom.

Fruit Spin – 8th February 2018

Going into February now, we can expect this completely new and original slot called Fruit Spin to launch towards the beginning of the month. Similar to the Twin Spin Deluxe, a lot of details are already known about it.

So, expect to see a re-tread of classic fruit machine aesthetics and cool gameplay. The game has already been available at Mr Green casino for some time, which is a NetEnt casino with great prominence in the iGaming community. Head over there now and try it out for yourself!

Asgardian Stones – 22nd February 2018

Return to Norse Mythology at the end of February with Asgardian Stones! As NetEnt was established in Sweden, it’s use of Norse mythology is a premise for one of their future slots. And what we might get is an epic version of that mythology in a fully-rendered slot wonderfully realised by NetEnt.

We’re sure casino sites aren’t short on these kinds of gamers, but we’ve yet to see NetEnt actually make one of them themselves. Expect to see Thor, Loki and Odin as potential characters featured in this game.

Miami Pursuit – 22nd March

Finally, we reach Miami pursuit – the last game expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2018. There’s all sorts of directions NetEnt could take with this game. It could go the whole Scarface route where a literal pursuit takes place between cops and criminals in glorified 80s fashion. Or it could just be a car race. Until NetEnt releases more info, we’re in the dark. Knowing them, however, we can expect to see more details emerge long before the slot’s actual release. Or perhaps even a sneak video preview!
