When it comes to the nitty-gritty of specific games, we are always keen to talk to our industry partners who specialize in the individual game experience. We couldn’t think of anyone more expert or appropriate to talk to about slots than Mr Slots.info himself, Maxime. So, we sat down with him to learn a little more about his website and discover which games he is most excited about in 2026.

Hi Maxime, welcome to Casino Life Magazine. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Online slots are a massive reason that the iGaming industry is thriving. With increased smartphone penetration, online slots are ideal for casual and seasoned iGamers alike. Before we hone in on the specifics, could you tell our readers a bit more about your website and your interest in the games?
Maxime
Hi there, and thanks so much for giving me this opportunity to talk about our site, slots.info. I know I am biased, but I do genuinely believe that we offer a unique perspective for our users. While there are plenty of online casino review sites, few (if any) offer the insights we do.
My personal passion for slots goes way back, and in 2009 I launched a German-market-specific site dedicated to them. I acquired Slots.info in August last year, and it really felt like ‘coming home’. Our mission is to create the most up-to-date and honest resource for slots players on the web. We work closely with major industry players but remain fully independent.
The site offers an extensive selection of slots, and we have recently added hundreds of new and upcoming titles. We like to think we have built a foundation that will last for years and be a place players can return to again and again to get all the information they need. We’ve made a promise to be the best, and we are determined to deliver on that promise.

Well, it doesn’t sound like you’re the kind of man who is easily distracted. Is it all work for you these days?
Maxime
Well, as Mark Twain famously said,
“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
And I really feel that I have been lucky enough to do that. However, it is all far from play, and we work very hard to deliver the best information and experiences to our users. I also love sports, and my biggest problem is finding time to fit all my activities in. Fortunately, my big passion, slots, is now so much more than just an activity.
Gamification Summit
What is it that makes a great slot game, in your opinion?
Maxime
It really is a combination of factors, and every player is looking for something different. However, regardless of personal preference, games must be licensed, fun, and fair. The easiest way to ensure these criteria are fulfilled is to see what the top software providers have on offer. We recommend that players familiarize themselves with reputable, established companies, as they generally provide high-quality, fair play. Even the best in the business will occasionally turn out a dud, but our expert review team is there to flag any that do not ‘cut the mustard.
At slots.info, we feature games from 49 software suppliers, including White Hat Studios, Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, and Hacksaw Gaming. We have to have a special shout out to Big Time Gaming too as they revolutionized the slots business with their Megaways™ mechanic by offering thousands of ways to win.

Ok Maxime, so what are the most highly anticipated games for 2026
Maxime
That is like asking someone which of their children is their favourite. All the games are highly anticipated. We live for new slot releases! We have a Fresh Off The Reels page that lets players discover new games and exciting features. We have a continuously updating list (which can be viewed in various ways) with all the latest titles. The hottest from February and March include:-
- Big Bass Raceday Repeat Pragmatic Play
- Tut’s Treasure Tower Pragmatic Play
- Dark Spiral Hacksaw Gaming
- Wild Skullz Pragmatic Play
- The Crypt 2 NoLimit City
- Haunted Crypt Pragmatic Play
- Rolling in Treasures Pragmatic Play
- Hot Ross Hacksaw Gaming
- Mummy’s Jewels 100 Pragmatic Play
- Superstar Sevens Hacksaw Gaming
Rolling Treasure scored 5/5, and is definitely worth a whirl! While the April calendar is not looking so busy yet, we cannot wait to try out Hacksaw Gaming’s Dynasty of Death, which is due for release on April 30th, and is rumoured to be a 5-reel, 4-row slot with fixed paylines and a mystical treasure-themed setting.
Hacksaw Gaming’s Martin Masters Atlantis also looks like a great game (though no demo is available yet), with an underwater theme and a formidable x10,000 max win potential. We can’t wait to try out the Jackpot Marlins and find the Hidden Epic Bonus. However, we will have to wait as it is not due for release until April 23rd. As soon as we get our hands on it, we’ll let our users know whether it was worth the hype.
Sometimes we just have a rumour, and as we like to be ahead of the curve, we will report on rumours and update them when we have more information. We do not want our users to miss out on anything, so we have a Rumoured Online Slots page – our very own Rumour Mill. We uncover developer leaks, analyze whispers, and speculate on what is coming down the line. While none of it is confirmed, our experience shows that rumours are usually based on reality.
Gamification Summit
So where do the rumours come from?
Maxime
Well, without giving away too much, we have our sources! For example, we have heard that NoLimit City is working on two highly anticipated titles – Punk Rocker 3 and Tombstone Begins.
We are like trained sniffer dogs, and developers often leave clues on what they are working on. At Slots.info, we keep abreast of:
- Industry forums and Communities
- Developer Social Media accounts
- Trademark and Patent Filings
- Job Postings
- Industry conferences and events
- Whispers from our followers
This section of our website is the very first step in anticipation. We hear a whisper, list the game and wait for the details to be confirmed!

Fascinating! Thank you
