January 26, 2009 (London, UK) — Virtue Fusion's Marine Mayhem, a groundbreaking multi-player slots game launched on major platforms this week, looks set to become one of the most successful games on the market.
"Marine Mayhem" is the latest offering from Virtue Fusion and combines the most fantastic elements of bingo and slots. This groundbreaking new format allows players to compete against each other at slots in order to win a share of the "Community Jackpot". The content and concept makes the game a unique proposition on the market.
Al Haig-Thomas, CEO of Virtue Fusion, said: "Marine Mayhem is yet another product that we're extremely proud of here at Virtue Fusion. Our aim is always to offer the best and most innovative products for our customers — and we feel we're doing exactly that with Marine Mayhem. We're looking forward to the feedback from our customers and seeing how the game shapes up in the marketplace. We're very confident it will be a success."
As well as being a groundbreaking idea, Marine Mayhem has a host of the usual fun elements that players are familiar with, such as the chance to chat with other competitors while the action is going on. In that sense it retains the appeal of other mini-games that are out there on the market. Following its launch this week, Marine Mayhem is available at all the major Virtue Fusion operator sites — such as Mecca Bingo, Mecca Games, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Bet365, Jackpot City and Blue Square.
Marine Mayhem has a high-octane aquatic theme and boasts state-of-the-art graphics with a standard five-reel, 20-line slot. It's fun and simple to play — players have between three and six minutes to pick up as many points as possible and whoever finishes in the Top 10 when the time is up will win a percentage of the "Community Jackpot", with their share of the prize pot based on their leaderboard position. The initial single stake value is 2p. Other stakes are set to be added in the future.
This original multiplayer slot format is unique in the gaming industry — which reinforces Virtue Fusion's position as the leading supplier of networked games. The pan-European-focused gaming giants are well-known for offering a fantastic range of new, innovative games as well as the biggest prizes, largest prize pools, greatest liquidity and the widest variety of products for their customer base.
