UNDERSEA MAGIC IN NEW MICROGAMING RELEASES
Five new games
include a subsurface Tomb Raider!
Game designers at top software provider
Microgaming have combined the popularity of the undersea environment with the
multi-feature, big win thrills of the Tomb Raider format to produce the flagship
of five new games releases this week.
Branded Mermaid's Millions, the
lead game features multiple opportunities to win on waves of jackpots, free spins
and bonuses with bets that can range from as little as a cent up to a dollar.
Jackpots of $37 500 are achievable on a max bet, and can be boosted threefold
to $112 500 if hit in a free spin.
The 15 payline, five reel format is
set in an ocean floor fantasy world replete with richly textured, bright colour
graphics of glamorous mermaids, shy lobsters, bulging treasure chests, jolly Neptunes
and other sea creatures. Be sure to look for the cool, laidback seahorse!
Two of the other games in the release, Frost Bite and Cabin Fever slots have
a seasonal resonance for the majority of players located in the northern hemisphere,
where winter is in full swing. Both are strongly themed to meet a player trend
which indicates that games relevant to a particular season attract more attention.
Marketing manager Mark Fredericks says that the company's research, and
the impressive popularity of earlier seasonal releases like Summer Break and Ho
Ho Ho slots suggest that there is a link between seasons and game themes that
leads to more player action.
"When you combine the right theme with
the excitement of feature-rich games that have been a runaway success like Thunderstruck
the results are convincing," he says.
Other games launched this week
include a new single deck video poker branded Aces and Eights and a completely
updated craps dice game titled Vegas Craps. Market tests on the latter, which
captures the look, sounds and action of what many regard to be the most dynamic
and thrilling casino game, suggest that Vegas Craps will appeal to a wide cross-section
of players.
- Mermaids Millions
This is the flagship game of the latest games release and builds on the outstanding popularity of the Tomb Raider TM slot machine. Similar in style, Mermaids Millions offers 5 reels, 15 paylines with multiple coins and wild and scatter symbols. As with the Tomb Raider TM slot, Mermaids Millions offers
a free spin feature as well as a bonus feature game. The scene is an undersea fantasy world complete with richly textured bright colour graphics of glamorous mermaids, shy lobsters, bulging treasure chests, jolly Neptunes and other sea creatures. - Vegas Craps
This new incarnation of Craps offers more betting positions and a full range of bets from $1 to $100 with very attractive odds. The new rules employed in Vegas Craps give this variation a very authentic feel and is sure to be a hit with seasoned Craps players. - Frost Bite
This 3 reel 1 payline slot should be a hit with the slots player. Frost Bite has a seasonal icy cold theme which Microgaming apparently expect to receive a warm reception from players in the Northern hemisphere :-) - Aces and Eights
This new video poker game adds to the already very impressive stable of video poker machines available at many Microgaming casinos. Video Poker is an incredibly popular game both on and off-line and the addition of Aces and Eights will for sure add to this popularety of the classic video poker game. - Cabin Fever
Another seasonally themed game that players enduring the cold winter months should relate well to, is Cabin Fever. This video slot offers 5 reels with a massive 20 paylines and a bonus feature of not 15 but 20 free spins! As well as Mermaids Millions I've found this slot particularly addictive and I'm sure those of you who enjou playing slots will enjy this one.

new games are available on a wide range of Microgaming-Viper powered online casinos.
