May 26, 2010 (CAP PR Wire) — Microgaming (www.microgaming.com), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, today launches three new Bingo Side Games to its network of operators. May’s games feature exciting new Video Slot action along with a traditional pub fruity slot.
Carnaval is the latest five reel, nine payline Video Slot from Microgaming, with a wild festival theme. The game features Wild and Scatter symbols, with all symbols paying left to right in consecutive order, except for the Scatter symbol, which pays in any direction. The Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols, apart from the Scatter, to complete a winning combination, but only appears in reels two, three and four. A betting range of 0.25 – 45.00 should suit experienced gamers and first timers alike.
What A Hoot is a five reel, nine payline Video Slot with a Wild and a Scatter symbol. A bunch of crazy owls provide the symbols for this slot, along with acorns, chestnuts and a Jar scatter symbol. A Wild Tree symbol substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations, except the Jar scatter symbol. With a flexible betting range of 0.01 to 45.00 and a maximum jackpot of 25,000.00 coins, players would be wise to join in the action with the band of feathered fruitcakes.
Winning Wheels is a three reel traditional pub fruity slot with a three in a row feature entry. The game has a colourful motor sport theme with reel symbols featuring chequered flags, racing drivers, helmets and bottles of champagne. With classic nudge and hold features, and a gambling range of 0.10 to 10.00, Winning Wheels is sure to be a huge hit with gamers and motor sport fans alike.
