MULTIPLAYER TECHNOLOGY BOOSTS THE CASINO EXPERIENCE

Ambience and excitement in new online casino direction

Microgaming has again showed its flair for innovation and cutting edge online gambling technology with the launch of the first Multiplayer Casino software at Riverbelle Casino.

Based on the positive player response to online multiplayer poker, the use of the latest developments in this technology to create more exciting casino gaming and environments represents a significant step forward that will ultimately give players the ability to gamble with their contemporaries all over the world on a wide variety of games.

Although Riverbelle is pioneering this exciting new product, the Trident group expects to have it available on the King Neptune's Casino and Trident Lounge casino shortly, and other groups are expected to quickly follow suit, rapidly broadening the market penetration of the new concept.

Players are being encouraged to try out the new software amid initial reports that the gameplay is fast, fair, smooth, and the interaction outstanding.

Using chat facilities and high resolution graphics in conjunction with the advanced software, Multiplayer Casino (MPC) creates additional gaming ambience and boosts the overall gambling experience.

There are three categories of slots:

Multiplayer Standard Slots is a global Slot Bank game where gamblers play with each other on slots in several slot rooms.

The slot rooms contain eight slots.

A player may only sit at one slot machine per room.

All slot machines are visible to all the players.

To take part in a game a player is required to place a bet. The slots will spin individually as each player activates.

Multiplayer Community Slots is a global Slot Bank game where gamblers play in company.

Community Slots have regular and community payouts.

Community payouts are payouts for community winning symbol combinations. Players are only paid out for community wins if they are seated at a slot machine and have placed a bet on the winning spin.

Each game is played on an individual basis, and wins are according to a standard pay table.

This does not apply to community payouts. These are the top three wins depending upon the game and the slot room. This payout is for each of the players present in the slot room, who took part in the spin where the payout was won.

Each win combination has a standard payout and may have a Community payout. The player with the winning combination receives the player payout and the balance of the players receive the Community payout.

Multi-Player Pot Slots is a global Slot Bank game where gamblers play against each other for a central pot. The player with the highest points at the end of the spin, wins the pot.

Points are awarded at the end of each spin. The number of points is dependent on the winning combination formed on the payline. The points awarded are re-set at the end of each spin.

Pot Slot is when the amount wagered is added to a common pot, less a small service fee. At the end of the spin, the player with the highest points, wins the pot.

The new technology is not confined to slots, and Blackjack players can also enjoy this new gambling experience.

There are many Multiplayer Blackjack tables to choose from with different betting limits and the most popular American and European rule variations.

Players can chat to each other during the game and can play together to try and beat the house.

Players can play at a table with chosen companions or simply join other Blackjack players from all around the world at the 3 and 5 seat tables.
