More Treats From Microgaming In November
In addition to much anticipated The Phantom of the Opera slot
Microgaming will release another two slot games in November in addition to its ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ production.
Inspired by the vast plains of Africa, ‘King Tusk’ will take players on a wild adventure in this five-reel, 25 payline online slot. The safari-themed game includes majestic elephants and exciting wild features, realised through beautiful artwork and audio-rich backtracks.
The slot features a mystery wild in the base game which can be triggered randomly when the elephant within the King Tusk logo makes his call. During which, a herd of elephants will stampede onto the reels, turning a random symbol wild or a wild symbol into a vertical wild reel.
Landing three King Tusk symbols will award 10 free spins and activate the opportunity for players to choose from three different free spin games: Dance, Stampede or Gone Wild.
Each spin in the Dance feature will add a wild onto the reels, with each wild sticking for five spins to increase the chances of winning big. During the Stampede feature elephants will charge across the game to randomly turn two reels wild, while the Gone Wild feature can turn all elephant symbols wild. All bonus features can retrigger 10 additional free spins to keep the adventure going.
‘King Tusk’ offers wins of up to 62,000.00 credits and will launch with Microgaming and Quickfire operators on Wednesday 22 November.

Microgaming’s third November offer ‘Lucky Links’ brings the bright lights and an exciting casino atmosphere to players in a five-reel, 20 payline online slot format exclusively created for Microgaming and Quickfire by Just For The Win.
Combining classical good luck charms with a sparkling light show brought to life by vibrant graphics, this slot pays both ways.
At the heart of the game is the Lucky Links feature which adds stacks of linking symbols on the reels that lock into place. The re-spin feature is triggered when a cluster of Lucky Links symbols land on the reels. If additional Lucky Links symbols lock in place during the re-spin, players are awarded additional re-spins to increase the potential for bigger wins.
During the feature, a power bar pulsates to build anticipation and the music and synchronized lights intensify.
Lucky Links goes live with Microgaming and Quickfire operators on Wednesday 15 November.
