As we welcome in another New Year, we are also welcoming in another batch of brand-new online slot games. January is the month of the year where online slot sites are at their busiest as people spend the cold winter evenings in their homes. Therefore, there are always some excellent slot releases every January.

We have for you below our pick of the best slots released in January 2026.

ONLINE SLOT TRENDS FOR JANUARY 2026

Two new Monopoly slot games have been released this month by Big Time Gaming and NetEnt – Monopoly Deluxe and Monopoly Money Line. Monopoly slots used to be really fun and popular so we are excited that they have made a return again. NetEnt and Big Time Gaming are heavy hitters too so we are sure both slots will be well-worth playing. They will both be medium volatility slots too which is good news for those of us who enjoy quite regular wins mixed with fairly big wins.

One of SlotsHawk’s picks of the month is Volted Up Wild Surge by PearFiction Studios. This slot sees two different bonus games which you can choose from. Giving such choice to us players in slots is always advantageous and we will always credit the studios who give more choice to players – so kudus to PearFiction Studios for that.

NoLimit City have released a further two slots this month too with Duck Hunters: Happy Hour – the sequel to the 2025 most played slot of the year and Golden Shower. Both slots have the highest possible volatility levels. Speaking of which, we expect a continued trend in 2026 of studios producing high variance slots.

Push Gaming have released two slots this month too with Bait N Bank and The Great Banker. Push Gaming continues to grow in popularity and their slots usually hit the mark and consist of modern game features and are often some of the highest RTP slots on the market.

STEPHEN’S MONTHLY PICK: VOLTED UP WILD SURGE

I love a slot which gives more choice to players so Volted Up Wild Surge was an easy choice to take my slot of the month. In addition, Pear Fiction Studios are a world-class studio with a great team. Therefore, if you are struggling to figure out which slot to play, you cannot go wrong with Volted Up Wild Surge.
