The first slot game release from Microgaming for the month of September sees the release of Banana Odyssey, a 5 by 3 reel, 10 pay line slot, developed exclusively for Microgaming by Slingshot Studios.

Initially announced that the slot was in development back in February during the London Affiliate Conference, Banana Odyssey features Astro Chimps who are battling it out for the prize of the Banana Planet.

James Buchanan, the Director of Global Operations at Microgaming, commenting on the release of Banana Odyssey, said: “We always strive to deliver a diverse, quality content portfolio to meet the needs of our operators, and Banana Odyssey is testament to this.”

“Originally conceptualised by Twin during one of Microgaming’s interactive games concept days with operators, and following a two-month exclusivity period with the operator, the game is now available to our wider customer base. Slingshot Studios have done a tremendous job creating an energetic, fast-paced slot, successfully combining popular game mechanics of respins, expanding wilds and free spins.”

“Engrossed with aesthetically pleasing visuals and a foot-tapping soundtrack, Banana Odyssey is a captivating new addition to Microgaming’s library of games.”

While the head of Slingshot Studios, who developed the game on behalf of Microgaming, Richard Vermaak, said: “We are over the moon to bring Banana Odyssey to the market. There’s a great deal of humour, energy and attitude in this game, packed with punch and visual clarity, and balanced with mathematical and aesthetic personality. The entire experience is designed to deliver that to the player.”

“Its clean and punchy style makes the win potential easy to track, and the win events themselves are designed to elevate the player experience. The game pays both left-to-right and right-to-left, giving it a fantastic hit rate. There’s never a dull moment on this adventure.”

“Our intention was to make players feel like they are constantly progressing on a journey with brothers Buck and Chip to the Banana Planet.”

“The music and visual effects highlight the heightened potential of the various states in the game, whether it be base game, respins or free spins, drawing players into the intergalactic atmosphere. We cannot wait for players to experience the exhilarating journey in Banana Odyssey.”
