Where's November's New MG Games?

[tim5ny]

I understand that MG was going to release new games each and every month in 2005. Has anyone seen or heard anything about this month's additions to the games line-up?

From Vegas Partner Lounge (Maple, Crazy Vegas, etc.)


MUCHOS GRANDE Get ready for action on this latest 5-reel, 15-payline slot. One look at these brightly colored screens will tell you that you're in for a hot time, with sacks of gold, chili peppers, ancient treasure maps and some mustachioed, happy hombres just waiting to point you in the right direction. Look out for the snakes - they're the Scatter symbols that can boost your winnings, whilst a muchos grande gold coin signals you've hit a Wild and thats more good news.

LOADED This video slot is a hugely entertaining 5-reel, 25-Line, multiple coin game with some brand new twists that are sure to give you good value: the Free Spin feature has a choice element through which you can select the number of free spins you want from the options of 12, 16 or 24, each with its own multiplier. The hip hop theme is captured in bright, amusing graphics with flashy boats, bling bling galore, limos, foxy ladies and cool dudes - look out especially for the top rapper Triple 7 who triggers the Wild symbol that can triple your wins.

MULTI-HAND VEGAS STRIP BLACKJACK This is the first in an exciting and innovative series of game styles developed on the multi-hand blackjack concept. The game is based on a much demanded multi-hand version of the usually single-hand game Vegas Strip, and it will appeal to the many players who like to play multiple hands of Blackjack simultaneously. In the multi-hand version a player can bet up to 5 hands at a time. Vegas Strip Blackjack is an American hole card game played with four standard decks of 52 playing cards that are shuffled before each game.

JACKS OR BETTER 100 PLAY POWER POKER - Jacks or Better expands the game to new levels of entertainment and hopefully rewards allowing you to play up to 100 hands of Video Poker at a time with a wide choice of wagers. In Jacks or Better every hand is dealt from a separate and independent deck of 52 cards. Outstanding features include an Auto Hold facility that holds the mathematically superior cards in the hand, but plays these only when you wish it. In addition to Autohold, the analyzer tables give guidance on current odds.

These are due out today sometime.

I'm guessing 32RED has them but, as always with the MG upgrades - it's not letting me in. I get "casino loading.... 100%"..."loading menu"... Then the screen disappears and just pops back up again. Same loading screen over and over again, to infinity and beyond.

I'll try again in a couple of days - and it will probably let me in.

I had to uninstall All Slots and Spin Palace after the last upgrade, as the software became unbearable... Please don't do it to 32RED too!!!!!

As I'm sat typing - the loading screen has finished and popped up again a total of seven times... Please post if you get in succesfully whilst I entertain myself with a bit of Cryptologic Marvel Slots!....

I've just spent the last hour playing "LOADED" and "MUCHOS GRANDE".

Loaded - graphics and sound bites are excellent, and it seems MG slots are just getting better. When one hits the bonus round you have a choice between 10 spins at 4x, 15 spins at 3x, or 24 spins at 2x. Hmmm, how lucky does one feel? And the scatter image animation of Triple 7 looks like he's flipping you off.

Muchos Grande - again, state of the art graphics. Has bonus map treasure which players can choose 3 mines for bonus cash.

There seems to be a Casinomeister tribute here - when one wins the bonus round, a evil Mexican laughs, and it's the same evil laugh sound bite I've been using in my webcast for the past 4 years

Waaah! I'm jealous!!! Not fair

I'll have to go and win a Marvel jackpot or something to make me feel better

Thank you. I thought that sounded familiar but couldn't place it.

 

[tim5ny]

I had a feeling the new games were due, but I had no idea that they were coming out as I was asking the question. Thanks all!

 

[Pinababy69]

I tried that Loaded today (in play mode) and the silly thing was hitting like mad, lol. Love the graphics and the sounds, and the payouts if they hold up. Side bets that as soon as I play for real it will be as dry as the desert?

 

[mikepipe]

new slots

I tried loaded and muchos...
Loaded white hot - many features, good wins. But muchos took it all away.
Excellent graphics, good sounds; very stilish slots!

 

[KasinoKing]

I played that Muchos - never again! What a heap of crap!
Took 165 spins (& $35 lost) to get the feature which paid a pathetic $12.

But.. Loaded I like!
25 lines is FAR to many, so I play it as a 15-liner... Nice $48 win of a 30c bet...

Hi Slotster,

I have the same problem as you have.
Are you already able to login to 32Red?
I already spend hours with their Support and IT people, but still not able to login.

Are there others having the same problem too?

No joy

I've uninstalled even, and downloaded the software again... Same story - Loading 100%,loading screen comes back up again... then again and again and again. I have to kill it in the end before ever getting into the casino. I really wanted to have a final crack at the prog challenge too..

I'm gutted 32RED is completely off limits for me now, and it's far and away my favourite casino

Been stuck to hammering Cryptologic for three days....

32RED, I realise this is not your fault - but if you do hear of a fix in the next few days, please drop me a line. Otherwise I'm doomed to a Cryptologic hell forever. Besides, if you don't let me back in soon - your profits will be halved this year Heh hee..

 

[satori]

The same thing happens to me (loading menu.. then pops back and begins again and never actually connects) at 4 different MG casinos so I don't think it's specific to 32 Red. Some of them began with the Halloween new game release and 2 more were added to the list with this release. It's weird that it is workinig for me at 2 others.

If there's a fix, I'd love to hear what it is. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Roxy numerous times and get the same results.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Interesting.

I have just added a complaint on this, 4 new games = 2 more dead casinos for me. I have just noticed though that not everyone is getting this at the same casinos.
I have managed to upgrade 32Red OK, but it is Music Hall and UK Casino Club that are broken. The previous upgrade Broke Royal Vegas, and I cannot join Roxy Palace. This piece of information should be useful to MG if they actually cared about this! Affected casinos lose a few customers each upgrade, ones who didn't want to leave, and ones that have cost money to attract. Downloading and reinstalling does not help. In fact it hinders, with Music Hall I just could not get it to recognise the presence of an upgrade and it just ran the old version. Support told me to uninstall, download the new one (all 177Mb) and reinstall. I now have the infinite loop on the loading screen.
I have looked into this, and it seems the software is repeatedly downloading and reinstalling the upgraded Viper core files, but is never able to recognise that it has done so, and relaunches the upgrade process again and again. This must be a programming fault causing a marker not to be set correctly at the end of the core upgrade process, so the second casino launch thinks it is the first and launches again. If I knew where this marker was, and what the value should be for the November update, fixing this problem would be easy!
If I find a way to do it i'll post it!

 

[vinylweatherman]

As I said..... EUREKA!!!!!!!!!!!

I refer to my new thread in Complaints, but I have just got back into Music Hall which was previously looping on the casino loading screen - yes it was dead simple, and is caused by a corrupt file.
I will have to do a little further work to check this is not a one off, nor something that has to be corrected every time I want to play.
I will post my results on my own thread entitled "Microgaming, what a mess". I will try to post the solution in an understandable manner (with screenshots), and it does not involve deleting cookies, temporary files, faffing around with firewall settings etc.

I'm having the same problem here. I've tried everything they suggested but still can't get the casino to load.

 

[satori]

Did you see Vinyl W's thread in the Complaints forum? He posted a fix which worked for me today.. it's very simple (just delete one file) and hopefully it will work for you too.

First of all, I downloaded the new games from several MG casinos with no problems.

But I really like "Loaded" too. It is very unique in the way that the
wild (triple 777) triples the pay. Combined with the bonus game multiplier
and the high pay for the rare combinations, the max pay is huge.

But be warned, this slot has a gigantic variance compared to other slots (and generally slots allready have a high variance). I was on a roll and getting
the bonus games like 10 times in a row. (they paid 500times my bet total) After that I didnt get it in 400 rolls and ever since it has been equally rare,
and all my winnins is lost again.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Variance

I find Thunderstruck like this sometimes, seems to do a very large number of spins with no win at all, and many bonus rounds are poor. Occasionally though, it will hit big, although not the main Jackpot.
Wild hammers or shafts pays 1500x line bet, which is tripled if hit in free spins for a whopping 4500x line bet.
Slots that seem to play with low variance, such as Munchkins, Cabin Fever etc, all have low payouts on the line wins, but they hit far more often.
As we get to know the new games we will learn this, so thanks for your tips about Loaded.

You should be able to fix this problem as follows.

Step 1. Uninstall the casino/casinos that are giving you this problem.

Step 2. Goto Start, Click Run.

Step 3. Type REGEDIT and hit enter.

Step 4. Goto Edit and Then Find.

Step 5. Type Microgaming and when it is located Click the "Thumper" tab, now you will see all the current casinos you have or had installed on your computer, now right-click on the casino that is giving you this problem and then click DELETE. Exit REGEDIT and re-install your casino.

"WARNING!" Make sure you write down your casino account before you delete the listing.

This should fix your problems and any problems you enounter with the casino/casinos.
