Microgaming’s Casino Games launch, August 2011

 

ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming (www.microgaming.com), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, announces an array of enthralling new games for release in August across its Download and Flash platforms and through QuickFire, powered by Microgaming.

 

Multi-Player Isis is the latest addition to Microgaming’s range of Multi-Player games and is based on the well know Video Slot Isis. Multi-Player Isis has an ancient Eqyptian theme and consists of 40 Paylines, Free Spin features with variable Free Spin Multipliers, as well as stacked Wild Symbols for maximum entertainment. The new game provides players with the opportunity to experience a community environment where they play alongside fellow slot players, all partaking in the same game. To enhance the sense of community, there is also a chat facility available which allows all the players within a room to socialise and share their excitement.

 

ISIS is similar to its predecessor, Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth, whereby all players in the room are able to partake in the bonus round should one player trigger it. Players collect Free Spin Multipliers as the main game progresses and each time two or more scatters land, a Free Spin Multiplier is awarded. This Multiplier will qualify the player to participate in an industry first bonus round which is a shared Free Spin’s feature. It is possible for players to obtain a maximum of a 500 times multiplier for this exciting new bonus round!

 

Multi-Player Isis will be available on Microgaming’s Download platform.

 

Triangulation takes the features of a traditional slot game and incorporates them into an electrifying new game. The aim of Triangulation is to complete a chain of matching adjacent coloured triangles anywhere on the triangular grid. The exciting part about Triangulation is that once the players have been paid their wins, the game removes and replaces all winning triangles to offer more chances of winning.

 

If three or more Bonus symbols remain in view, the Swap Out Bonus Game is triggered and the player selects three triangles to be turned into Wild symbols, awarding big wins.

 

Triangulation will be available on QuickFire, powered by Microgaming and Microgaming’s Flash platform.

 

Spingo is the latest table game to join Microgaming’s gaming portfolio and is based around a bingo-style draw machine that draws numbered bingo balls onto a roulette-style wheel. Players can bet on numbers 1 � 10 and a selection of colours, either separately or as a combination from both, with a unique 3D wheel and realistic ball movement, players can have more fun and more chances of winning big money.

 

Spingo will be available on QuickFire, powered by Microgaming and Microgaming’s Flash platform.

 

Mount Olympus: The Revenge of Medusa is a fantastic new 5 reel, 25 payline Video Slot, based on the Greek mythology of Medusa. The evil snakes from the Greek Myth are no longer evil, instead they bring luck to your players game. Each Player chooses their favourite snake when the Bonus feature is activated and the Player can collect an entire Wild reel.

 

When triggered, this spectacular Bonus feature awards five Free Spins. Before each spin, the player picks one of five snakes writhing in the head of the Medusa. Each pick reveals how many Wild reels they have won for that Free Spin.

 

Mount Olympus: The Revenge of Medusa will be available on QuickFire, powered by Microgaming.
