In the entertainment industry, including online casino gaming, if the original release of a movie or series is loved the world over, it’s bound that the sequel will soon follow. And just like we’ve witnessed sequels for Star Wars or Godfather movies, we’ve also been witnessing several

sequels to some of the popular video slot games. Which is something good in our honest opinion. NetEnt and Microgaming have to be perfect examples of how video slot developers follow up their hot releases with even hotter and more entertaining releases. Buckle up, as we are about to take you through some of the best slot sequels featured here at WildTornado Casino.

NetEnt Following Up On Slot Successes

NetEnt is known industrywide for its innovative ventures. In Twin Spin Slot, the company decided to give us Twin Spin but then decided to fill our bellies with neon-like symbols in the follow-up, Twin Spin Deluxe. The sequel also uses the Cluster Pays system that’s activated once you land a cluster of at least nine symbols. This is as opposed to the original version which uses the 243 unique ways of winning method. While the symbols feel and look the same in the follow-up, the smoother visuals, enhanced soundtrack, and Cluster mechanics build on its predecessor.

The other entertaining sequel developed by NetEnt is Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business. This game is based on a comic book with the imagery resembling the panels of a comic, bringing life straight from the comic pages to the reels. Across the game’s 5 reels and 99 pay lines, you are bound to come across symbols that you can only expect from a spy-themed movie (Goons, Speedboats, Guns, Jack Hammer) and all the action arising from it. Free spins and sticky wilds make Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business the Skyfall of spy-themed video slot sequels.

Other popular Slot Sequels

Besides NetEnt, there are other popular slot sequels that you can choose to play online. Thunderstruck 2, from Microgaming, is one game that builds upon the original game that was released sometime in 2004. As you’ll expect, so much has changed in the online casino industry since 2004, and you’ll clearly see this in the Thunderstruck 2 slot. The game uses 5 reels and the unique 243 payline formation. Bets range from a low of €0.01 and climax at highs of €75 per spin. At maximum bet, the highest possible win from the game is set at 121,500, which roughly translates to x6,000 your bet. It also has improved graphics, sleek animations and features a medieval soundtrack.

Avalon II – Quest For The Grail slot game is also a Microgaming release and a sequel to the Avalon Slot. The original release was beautifully designed and featured magnificent rewards that attracted millions of players in large numbers, a factor that triggered Microgaming to release the second version. Avalon 2 has 5 reels and 243 winning paylines. To play the game, you need a minimum bet of €0.30 per spin and a maximum bet of €30 per spin.

Between 1990 and 1995, Hugo was a favorite TV character among the Danish kids. And in 2018, Hugo the troll has reappeared again, not in the TV shows, but as the main character in Hugo 2 Slot – a sequel to Hugo Slot. The game has been developed by Play’n Go and outlines the story of Hugo on his mission to find safety from Afsyklia, the evil witch. This game builds on the success of its predecessor and introduces plenty of in-game features that include bonus rounds and free spins game. It also uses more imaginative graphics as well as animations.

Sequels Are Definitely Better

There’s been a raging debate on whether sequels are really better than the original releases of movies or games. At WildTornado, we believe that sequels are much better than the originals. In the Godfather series of movies, Godfather 2 is hailed as the better version of the original release.

 

Similarly, we believe that all the aforementioned slots are better than the original releases. This is because software developers take more time to enhance the original releases by improving the game mechanics and increasing the number of in-game bonus rounds as seen in our Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business and Twin Spin Deluxe Slots. You don’t believe us? Why don’t you try for yourself and see what we mean? All these games are readily available in WildTornado’s slot game portfolio for you to play!
