The slots that people should try out in summer 2024

One of the most popular games right now has to be slots. Since the internet boom of the 1990s took casinos online, more people are playing this classic casino game from the comfort of home, at friends’ houses or while on a commute. And online slots have improved too, with a huge number of themes to try.

But what are the top online slots to play this summer? Read on to find out what’s made the cut.

Mega Joker

Let’s start off with a popular title from the team at NetEnt, Mega Joker. This slot game brings a bit of nostalgia into the mix, with a fast-paced, fruit machine style with 5 reels and 4 rows.

The stacked Joker Wilds feature gives a payout of up to 50x while the big yellow Scatter star is worth much more – with a potential payout of 400x your bet! If you’ve not tried it yet it’s worth giving it a go over the course of this summer.

Big Bad Wolf

This slot takes you back to your childhood days, bringing the story of The Three Little Pigs to life. While there are loads of slots out there with fairytale themes, Big Bad Wolf definitely stands out as one of the best and has even won multiple awards which is impressive to say the least.

The five reels are set in a countryside and the symbols are what you might expect: a pig with a straw in its mouth, a pig with a trowel, a pig with a paintbrush, a teddy bear and also your classic Ace, Queen, King and Jack. Players also benefit from a high RTP at around 97.34%.

Apollo God of the Sun


Greek mythology fans rejoice! We have a slot for you to try this summer if you haven’t yet.


Apollo God of the Sun has a recognisable format with two reel sets with five reels adding up a total of 100 pay lines. This game offers quite a few fun bonuses that take on this mythology theme, with Apollo himself being able to add Wilds to reels at the end of any spin. The mode called Muse of Music is a great one to get too, as it allows you to uncover treasures from the library of Alexandria which can get you an extra cash prize.

The RTP for this game is still decent but a little less than Big Bad Wolf, as it stands at 96.02%.

Gorilla Go Wilder

Some online slots real money fans will already be familiar with Gary the gorilla from Gorilla Go Wilder. Gary has been a character before in several of Next Gen Gaming’s titles but in this version he’s actually three-dimensional!

This is a great choice for those who may not get to get away on vacation this summer, as it has an island setting to it and brings holiday vibes into the mix with a beach and palm trees. The graphics are definitely a selling point for this game with some pretty impressive animations. While the music definitely adds to the immersive element of this particular slot compared to some of the others on this list.

Reel Rush

Another fruit and sweets theme slot for fans of a classic vibe is available in Reel Rush. The symbols include fruits like grapes, lemons, pineapples, strawberries and more, which definitely lends itself to a summer aesthetic! Freespins, respins and wilds are just a few of the great bonuses this game offers. It definitely brings a retro feel of fruit machine games to modern times and is bright and colourful to play. 

And a RTP of 96.96% is definitely another reason to give this slot a try!


Dead or Alive 2

We head to the Wild Wild West in this highly anticipated sequel from the gaming experts at NetEnt. Dead or Alive 2 is a perfect game for those who like a western theme, with 5 outlaw characters being brought into the mix including Jesse James, Apache the Kid, Bell Star, Della Rose and Billy the Kid too! A 5×3 reel slot with 9 fixed paylines, players can also enjoy on-theme symbols including whisky bottles, hats, guns, a sheriff’s badge and cowboy boots too!
