Microgaming Annonced Four New Games Releases - 3 Slots And 3 Card Poker.
Microgaming is announced four new June launches at GIGSE 2006 - games that offer World Cup video slot casino action and also cater for progressive and non-footballing video slot players.World Cup Mania
All the excitement of football's greatest tournament is here in a video slot game. The action extends through five reels and fifteen paylines that enable casino players to bet up to $75 and go after significant rewards through a series of Scatter, Wild and Bonus rounds that can yield as much as $112,500.00 a throw.
The referee's whistle appearing across the lines is the signal for ten free spins (and free spins or bonus rounds within those spins) where winnings are multiplied by a factor of three, and the Wild Footie ball symbol can help deliver the great bonus opportunities in this game. That happens when five of the gold winner's trophies present across the reels to trigger an outstanding Free Kick Bonus, where the player is one-on-one with a flying goalie (and some familiar names on the background hoardings) With twelve optional "shots" an additional payout of up to $12,500.00 is possible in World Cup Mania!
Cashanova
Clear play guides, simple navigation and sharp, brightly coloured graphics accompany a sense of humour and a slight sense of the ridiculous in this cutting edge video slot game with 5 reels and 30 lines of payout. Check out the unruffled, strutting hero, Roger Rooster's antics, as he pursues the voluptuous Henrietta Hen to her luxurious nest with a range of unique gifts from chocolate corncobs to eggcentric jewellery. Players should keep a lookout for Roger's favourite reading material, as Henhouse Magazine is the Scatter symbol that can lead to wins multiplied by the total bet placed by individuals.
Megaspin Major Millions
A new genre starts here in one of the most well known frequently played progressive slots on the Internet. A game that has created a number of instant, one-cash-payment millionaires and added significant amounts to the bank balances of hundreds of players worldwide. This is just like 5 reel progressive slot Major Millions, but with the MegaSpin difference.
Instead of playing one machine, MegaSpin puts up six for player entertainment, increasing their chances of hitting that really big and almost unlimited progressive jackpot that every slots player dreams about. Using the Maxbet function, this is achievable at an increased playing speed, heightening the excitement and the chances of a range of wins leading up to the big one.
Multihand 3 Card Poker
Standard 3 Card Poker rules apply here: the player can face off against the dealer by staking the Ante bet, Play bet, as well as an optional Pair Plus bet whereby the game pays out according to the rank of cards, this is also used to determine their Ante bonus, of which both are independent of the dealer's hand.
Multihand 3 Card Poker has superbly crafted graphics that faithfully capture the look of real tables - with the green felt, leather and brass contrasting with the bright colours of the chips. The rules of the game are easy to refer to at any time and the presentation features an innovative shading technique on the cards that is very effective.
Now, instead of playing one 3 reel, 3 pay line machine at a time, players can keep the equivalent of a whole bank of slots to themselves, with six different machines simultaneously on screen and all the opportunities that this presents for some monster wins - especially if players use the maximum bet of $18.
It's a little like a super video slot development of the multihand video poker concept and Microgaming believes that it's going to be just as popular.
Roger Raatgever, Microgaming CEO, comments, "We are proud to be showcasing these releases at GIGSE. They demonstrate topicality and state of the art gaming experiences in a range of categories that will keep operator offerings fresh and players wanting more. We're sure our partner operators will love these and the rest of the games lined up as part of our busy release programme over the course of this year."
These latest four are part of Microgaming's ambitious schedule of 60 releases in all planned for 2006. Come and have a demonstration on stand 501. The games will be deployed to Microgaming online casinos from May 31st.
Microgaming can be found powering many of the world's most profitable online casino sites and the world's leading poker network [Prima Poker]. As a founding member of eCOGRA, Microgaming is also at the forefront of an initiative focused on setting the highest standards in online gaming industry, most notably in the areas of fair gaming, responsible operator conduct and player protection.
