December 9, 2010 (CAP PR Wire) — The world’s biggest online gaming software provider, Microgaming, has unveiled four new games, just in time for Christmas. With innovative slots, roulette and a new addition to the Gold Series, these new games are already live on some sites.
In Santa’s Wild Ride, the first of Microgaming’s December releases, Santa trades in his trademark sleigh and reindeer for a Harley Davidson motorcycle as he cruises around, giving winning opportunities to fortunate players.
Three elves present players with a choice of Wilds, letting them choose from stacked Wilds, expanding Wilds, and trailing Wilds — all empowering players to create better winning combinations. When three, four, or five of Santa’s Harley keys appear across the reels, 25 Free Spins are triggered, in which all wins are doubled and the increased choice of Wilds can be deployed.
Santa’s Wild Ride also includes random Wild multipliers between 2x and 4x, and a bonus feature when the gift symbol appears on reels two and four, which will award between 1x-10x total bet. With a maximum bet of 7.50 and a betting range between 0.01 and 0.05, this is a game that can deliver long periods of great entertainment with the addition of numerous chances to win.
Caribbean Draw Poker is the latest addition to Microgaming’s Gold Series. This five-card draw poker variant uses a standard 52-card deck in which the player competes against the house dealer. There are two games on offer: the main five-card draw game and an optional bonus bet that can be played simultaneously, based on the initial hand dealt to the player.
The game includes a progressive jackpot worth 20,400.00 on the main bet, with a minimum of 50,000.00 available on the progressive side bet. Available chip sizes range from 1.00 to 100.00, making Caribbean Draw Poker suitable to all players.
Royal Feast is the latest five-reel, 15 payline slot game from Microgaming with a medieval theme. Players are invited to join the King, his courtiers and even the royal chef in this outstanding game which includes a Wild, Free Spins, Scatters, Multipliers and the popular Gamble feature.
When two or more Royal Crown symbols appeal on the reels they will trigger five Free Spins, and for every scatter that lands during these spins, the reel is held and the feature begins again, retaining all previous wins. If all five scatters are held, then the player reaps the maximum scatter payout for five spins.
The final game to launch in December is Premier Roulette, the innovative new European roulette variant from Microgaming.
Players are presented with a variety of customizing options that enable them to create and save personal table layouts. In addition to its customization possibilities, Premier Roulette’s features include a 3D wheel zoom and autoplay option, as well as controllable game speed in the range normal and turbo modes.
The screen layout offers players a history of previous spins, cover percentages and provides for mixed chip piles in sizes ranging from 1.00 all the way through to 200.00.
