By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Feb 2, 2018
Four Divine Beasts From Habanero
Graphic and feature-rich slot based on Chinese Mythology
Habanero’s latest HTML5-built offer is a visually stunning, five-reel, three row slot titled ‘Four Divine Beasts’.
Based on a Chinese folk story, players are transported to an ancient world in which four beasts guard sacred treasures.
‘Four Divine Bests’ tells of the sky being divided into the four cardinal points, north, south, east and west, with each point ruled by a divine beast, the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise.
Microgaming Welcomes In The Chinese New Year
Sparking fireworks and fortune in February game release
Microgaming’s February slot release ‘Lucky Little Gods’ is perfectly timed to coincide with the upcoming Chinese New Year.
This five reel, 243 ways online slot is inspired by Chinese mythology, set in an ethereal realm hosted by two gods of fortune, while combining vibrant graphics and quirky Manga animations with divine bonus features.
The Golden Tree scatter can land on reels one or five in the base game, triggering the dancing tree animation and causing a cascade of golden coins that duplicate the coin award over the symbols below it.
Giving players a boost of luck, the golden Treasure Pot can land on reel three in the base game to grant players extra prizes, while the Little Gods can randomly materialise on any non-winning spin to award a cash bonus.
The Firecracker scatter triggers the free spins mode where reels one and five are wild for the duration to spark bigger rewards.
“The game studio have done an amazing job in creating a feature-packed slot that combines characters inspired by Chinese folklore with manga style artwork to give it a modern look,” commented David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming. “The fun animations of scatter symbols, base game features and free spins rewards really reflect the story and are sure to deliver players entertaining gameplay.”
Lucky Little Gods goes live with Microgaming and Quickfire operators on Thursday 1 February 2018.

Quickspin Preps Northern Sky
For February 13th launch
Quickspin is teasing the upcoming launch of its latest release ‘Northern Sky’, a Scandinavian themed, 5×3 avalanche slot with 9 paylines.
Set in the Scandinavian countryside, under the Northern Lights, symbols feature geometric stags, owls, bears and wolves who morph into dazzling gems.
Northern Sky offers re-spins on all wins and a free spin bonus feature using only the highest-paying symbols.
New RTG Slot Is Inspired By Jackie Chan
Fantasy Mission Force slot is based on the 1983 Hong Kong horror action film starring martial arts master Jackie Chan
RealTime Gaming’s latest online slot is now available, a 5 reel 20 pay-line production inspired by Chinese martial arts film legend, Jackie Chan and titled Fantasy Mission Force.
Game features include explosive bonus awards such as the Kaboom! feature which can deliver significant free game rewards by adding a Bickford Fuse to some symbols. Three or more of these trigger up to three extra free spins per fuse and can even blow the seven free spins into unlimited free spins.
A Scatter on the first reel with a Wild on the last reel triggers seven free spins. Prizes are tripled during the free games.
The theme spins the story of four World War II Generals that have been taken hostage by a group of misfits that include two kilt-wearing soldiers, a con artist and a femme fatale. Chan is depicted as one of two crooks who follow the action hoping to find a horde of money.
RTG have also announced the imminent arrival of another new slot, Shanghai Nights, with further games like Eagle Shadow Fist also in the pipeline.

Ancient Egypt Revisited In Latest Nextgen Slot
Three random bonuses in new game
There’s an odd jazz-like sound track backing on the new slot from NextGen titled Cleo’s Wish, odd because the theme is ancient Egypt centred on the legendary Queen of the Nile.
This 5 reel 25 pay-line game has stacked wilds, wilds, transforming symbols, scatters, multipliers and free spins, along with three randomly triggered bonuses – Cleos Parade, Cleos Wish Wild and Eternal Riches, all with the potential to boost rewards.
In the Add Wilds Reels feature in the base game, wilds can be randomly added to any position on any reel, and in the Guaranteed Wild Reels feature up to 5 reels can randomly change into Guaranteed Wild Reels where a wild symbol will appear on that reel for that spin.
Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
