Leading software developer Microgaming has offered up its latest batch of fresh online slot games for players to enjoy over the festive period. After working closely with its cherry-picked roster of independent studios, the operator has revealed that an exciting and diverse range of games will join its acclaimed portfolio this month.
This Christmas has already proved to be a lucky period in more aspects than one for fans of the Isle of Man’s leading casino software firm. Microgaming has just announced that its popular “Mega Moolah Goddess” online slot has been triggered for its biggest win yet. One lucky winner, who has not been named, hit the jackpot to win a staggering €3,947,030.58.
The progressive Mega Moolah jackpot was hit on the ancient Egyptian themed slot on November 16th, although it has only just been publicly revealed. It marks Microgaming’s tenth payout worth seven figures or more on the progressive jackpot network this year. CEO at Microgaming, John Coleman, was over the moon to break the news:
“I’m delighted to see another spectacular win strike on a Mega Moolah slot, particularly as it’s a historic moment for Mega Moolah Goddess. Congratulations to the player!”
The “Mega Moolah Goddess” win has brought the total sum paid out by Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network to more than €1.5 billion. In all, more than 22 million payouts have been awarded. The Egyptian adventure game is one of eight Mega Moolah titles that include “Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon”, “Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah” and “Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah”.
In September, another of Microgaming’s top progressive jackpot slots won a lucky player a breathtaking €3.8 million. The win was struck on “Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WowPot Megaways” just four days after the game went live. The winner, a Swedish player, was the fourth millionaire to be created by the progressive jackpot.
Festive Slots
Microgaming kicked of the festive season with not one, but two cheery new games to get players in the mood for Christmas. “Plenty of Presents”, from the team at Just For The Win, follows Santa as he delivers gifts to people around the world. Players can expect free spins, multiplier wilds and a maximum bet win of 25,000X.
“Book of Mrs Claus” takes players on a trip to the North Pole to see what Santa’s other half is up to. This slot, from Aurum Signature Studios, features expanding wilds during free spins and offers players the opportunity to respin individual reels for extra chances to win. Both “Plenty of Presents” and “Book of Mrs Claus” went live on December 1st.
Another new game to look out for is “Fortune Rush” by Pulse 8 Studios. Featuring the special rush symbol, high symbols are randomly selected triggering respins when three or more matching symbols land on the reels. Three respins are also rewarded with a Lucky Draw, offering even more ways to win.
Empire Shields from Gong Gaming Technologies was released on Microgaming platforms on December 6th. Players will discover charged Toppers above the reels, which can activate a range of innovative features. These include a double reel, expanding wilds, extra wilds and multipliers. With every spin, the Topper feature’s shields move one place to the left, creating new ways to win in this fantasy adventure.
From December 7th, Microgaming fans can try out “Amazing Link Riches” from SpinPlay Games. This game certainly boasts the luck of the Irish, with its free spins, pick feature and many cash prizes. The Amazing Link feature gives players the chance to discover a pot of gold, brimming with coins and jewels.
To trigger this mechanic, six or more four-leaved clover symbols must be landed on the reels. These lucky symbols can also be landed during the feature, increasing the game’s win potential. Players can even win a mega prize worth 5,000X their bet, if they fill all 15 places on the reels.
Innovative Features
The latest slot from Crazy Tooth Studios, “Golden Hook” is a fishing game like no other. This immersive game looks very different to other slots as it doesn’t utilize the conventional reel layout. It features the popular WiNCREASE mechanic, a multiplier feature and a randomly triggered Golden Hook bonus. In the bonus round, players can dive under water to catch fish as they swim by for extra cash prizes.
On December 9th, Snowborn Games’ hotly awaited “Cat Clans” went live, and it’s just as creative as fans of the studio will expect. The action takes place in the Scottish Highlands, where clans battle it out to land multiplier wilds and win a free spins round with sticky wilds and up to 20,000X wins. There’s a twist though, all the clan members are cats! The four felines compete for the ultimate title in the Clan Battle Bonus by collecting golden paws.
“Arctic Enchantress” by Neon Valley Studios is another icy slot perfectly suited for the festive season. Out on December 14th, players can look forward to its Link&Win mechanic, free spins and wild symbols.
