SLOT INNOVATIONS AND A NEW VP IN LATEST MICROGAMING RELEASES

7 September 2007

A little risque, a lot of action in new games releases


Four new games have been launched over a wide range of online casinos this week. Two complementary 5 reel, 9 line video slots - one with a deft feminine touch and the other with more masculine appeal head up the list of new games from Microgaming, augmented by the latest 4 handed video poker game in the Power Poker series and a big 5 reel 20 pay-line slot with a circus theme.

HUNKY HEROES and DOCTOR, DOCTOR will appeal to the ladies and gents respectively, with different themes but a similar fast action format that delivers winning opportunities through Wild, Scatter, Free Spin, Multipliers and Bonus features.

These games are the first to be released with two new features - the innovative "Sneak A Peak" and a cumulative Free Spins + Multiplier function.

Attractive, sexy graphics and some amusing game guides get players in the mood and showcase attractive examples of community service and medical heroes of the two genders. Wilds and scatters give the player an opportunity to win free spins with multipliers.

When the Sneak A Peak symbol unzips on any position on Reel 1, the corresponding position on Reel 5 is reserved...and if any one of the key heroes lands and matches up, the bonus - and up to x25 multipliers - is unpacked in a second screen feature, with a scratch card choice of 12 from 15 opportunities for free spin and multiplier rewards up to $1 350.

In the base game players can take home up to $10 000, whilst on the Free Spins and Bonus opportunities $100 000 is achievable. Opening the game up to a wide range of players, wagers from a cent to 25 cents are accepted.

BONUS DEUCES WILD POWER POKER is the latest 4 handed game in Microgaming's popular Power Poker range of VP games, and delivers a fast and exhilarating video poker experience.

With three variations on the “5 of a Kind” win and the 2 card doubling up as a 2 and a Wild, this latest addition to the inventory presents opportunities to achieve maximum wins of $100 000, or a second highest reward of $64 000.

The game is played with 1 x 52 card deck per hand, with betting levels of 1 to 5 coins per hand and very high potential rewards on a wide range of betting options spanning 25 cents to $5. On a maximum bet of $100 the maximum payout of $100 000 is achievable, and a gamble feature can take that up another $3 200 if the player makes the right call. Because it operates from the Viper software platform, Bonus Deuces Wild players are supported by an range of relevant player assists and auto play to give additional analytical and tactical playing precision.

THE GRAND CIRCUS is the fourth and last game in the current batch of releases. The colourful cartoon style graphics on this 5 reel, 20 pay-line video slot grab the attention and bring back warm memories of the days when the arrival in town of the circus, with its clowns, animals, acrobats, ringmasters and the Big Top itself, generated excitement and anticipation.

Score 3, 4 or 5 Big Top scatters across the reels and this triggers the second screen bonus opportunity, and players can win up to 20 free spins with multiplying power to boost winnings, a mystery bonus or bonus prizes. In Free Spins the bonus reward may be suspended, but the player can win up to 250x amount wagered in lieu.

Among the notable features of The Grand Circus is the Pick a Bear chance to win prizes through 3 choices from the 6 bears available.

This is a slot offering the opportunity to win up to $20 000 in the base game, $45 000 in the bonus game and $52 240 on Free Spins.
