New Microgaming – Fortune Factory Slot Launched

Developer set to dazzle with Romanov Riches

Microgaming showcases a lavish new release, Romanov Riches, today (Wednesday), a game developed by Fortune Factory Studios exclusively for the tier one provider.

Players revel in the legendary riches of Russia’s czarist Romanov dynasty as they collect gems and stack up big prizes in this elegant five reel, 15 pay=line online slot, the first to be developed under the new Fortune Factory Studios brand.

On each spin, large Mystery Stacks on every reel are replaced with a single symbol. Landing matching stacks will trigger the respin feature, where triggering stacks are locked and the remaining reels respin. Mystery stacks transform to match the symbols in the triggering stacks on each respin, maximising the player’s chance of multiplying their wins.

Bejewelled rewards await in the game’s Wheel Bonus feature, which can be activated by landing full stacks of bonus symbols during the base game. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Bonus stacks trigger 1, 2, or 3 Bonus Wheels respectively. Wheels 1 and 2 award cash prizes, and Wheel 3 bestows a total win multiplier and a chance for players to win up to 1000x their bet.

The new game can be viewed here:

Phelan Sykes, head of game production at Fortune Factory Studios, said Wednesday: “With prominent mystery stacks, frequent respins and multiple bonus features, we’ve packed Romanov Riches with fast-paced action and a large variety of awards to chase.”

David Reynolds, games publisher at Microgaming, adds: “Developed by a team of experts with an impressive track record within the traditional video gaming and land-based spheres, Romanov Riches is a deluxe addition packed with entertaining and intuitive features. Boasting rich graphics, the game offers frequent chances for players to collect and increase rewards with a respin and Wheel Bonus feature that deliver a range of play. Romanov Riches is only a glimpse of what’s to come from Fortune Factory Studios, who have some fantastic games in the pipeline.”

Yggdrasil Launches Dark Vortex

Enter a portal to the world beneath for entertainment and reward

Yggdrasil‘s eerie new slot, Dark Vortex, launches in good time for operators’ Halloween campaigns today (Wednesday) and is the developer’s first slot to offer the new ‘Buy Bonus’ feature

In Dark Vortex, players aim to open a portal to the netherworld and enter a land with reward opportunity. When the Vortex is fully open, the stacked wilds and 3125 ways to win running from both left and right mean that players could win more than 7000x bet size with any spin. Players can open the Vortex either reel-by-reel in base-play or buy straight into the feature.

In base play players can open an ancient vortex with taller reels, more high pays and stacked wilds by hitting two bonus symbols on adjacent reels. Every additional adjacent bonus symbol will grow the portal and give additional Vortex spins. Expanding the Vortex to cover all reels starts Free Spins with wild stacks up to 10 symbols tall.

The new feature introduced with this game also offers a third way into Free Spins – by sacrificing 80x bet players can activate the ‘Buy Bonus’ feature and immediately enter the Free Spins round. This option is perfect for players who prefer fast-paced, high risk-high reward action instead of grinding out wins slowly within the base game.

Yggdrasil head of slots, Jonas Strandman, said Wednesday: “Our humorous take on the Lovecraftian universe is no joke – the more than 7000x max bet win is the third highest for any Yggdrasil game.

“Add to this the the innovative Vortex reels and the chance to buy straight into the Free Spins, and we’ve got a game that we know will be highly appreciated by seasoned slots spinners, while at the same time being a great gateway to the reels for new players.”

There’s A Circus In Town

Just in time for Halloween – Relax Gaming launches Zombie Circus

Relax Gaming unveiled its second network video slot Wednesday, a 5X3, 10 pay-line horror themed game titled Zombie Circus.

The game features all manner of the shambling undead, transporting players to a topsy-turvy world where masquerading zombies line the reels, just in time for Halloween.

Landing three bonus symbols on reels one, three and five triggers the ‘Zombie Waves’ mode, giving players the opportunity to battle the living dead, zap some zombies and win up to 15 free spins.

Simon Hammon, Relax Gaming CPO, said: “Zombie Circus combines engaging gameplay with an exciting new twist on the zombie theme. We are certain the Zombie Circus will be a big hit for all of our partners.”

Double Halloween Game Launch From Netent

Halloween Jack and Wild Bazaar launched

NetEnt is getting ready for the trick or treat season with the dual launch of horror-themed Halloween Jack and Wild Bazaar, a Middle eastern and mystical follow up to th developer’s global proven performer: Fruit Shop.

With a claimed RTP of 96.28 percent, Halloween Jack tells the story of a cursed jewellery box that forces its owner into unspeakably scary acts.

Great evil is unleashed in the 5-reel, 3-row, 20-bet line video slot, with terrifying features including free spins and Jack ‘o’ lector, as well as the walking wild, stacked hell hound wild and expanding grim reaper wild.

“Slots players love games themed around their favourite celebrations and festivals and Halloween Jack really gets into the spirit of the season,” says Bryan Upton, NetEnt director of game products.

NetEnt is further underlining its creativity and the diversity of its games catalogue this month with Wild Bazaar joining Halloween Jack in an exciting, same day double release.

Wild Bazaar is based on the top performing game Fruit Shop’s proven math – with some major differences. A little Middle Eastern Spice has been added both the theme and the players’ ride through newly added features in Wild Bazaar.

The game transports players to a magnificent, magical marketplace and takes them on a wild spin adventure as they search for hidden treasures among the scent of spices, vibrant fabrics and curios to launch features simultaneously for those big wins.

The 5-reel, 4-row video slot features stacked wilds, colossal wilds, linked wilds and x2 multiplier wilds – each hidden in colourful chests and each being able to be triggered at any time independently or together.

“Fruit Shop is a top game in our huge network and we have taken it to the next level with Wild Bazaar. We are delivering on proven performance to our operators and our players, but with some extra pay out potential in a buzzing and hectic Middle eastern setting”, says Upton.
