Despite the fact
that former U.S.
facing online casino
software developer,
Microgaming, cut off
the bulk of its
gaming business (for
reasons just
stated), the same
development team
that came up with
Microgaming's Viper
series of online
casino games has
been keeping itself
busy with even more
new game releases.
In many ways, that's
to be expected, for
Microgaming has long
since promised to
launch a minimum of
new releases
throughout the year.
Being one of the
most prolific online
casino software
developers in
business today,
Microgaming's
portfolio now
exceeds well over
three-hundred casino
games. And in
keeping with the
Holiday season, the
latest batch of
games includes a
festive themed slot,
not to mention two
other video slots,
which depending on
what you like to
celebrate, could
also be considered
of the festive sort.
The slot which most
invokes the Spirit
of Christmas is
called "Deck the
Halls". This 5-reel,
30-payline video
slot machine is
certainly "decked"
out with all the
"bells and
whistles", offering
free spins,
multipliers,
scatters, wilds and
stacked wilds.
Symbols to look out
for are the "Deck
the Halls" logo,
which serves as the
wild and multiplier,
and the Santa Claus
symbol, which sets
the stacking feature
into motion for both
the base game and
free spins mode.
Speaking of free
spins, winnings are
doubled on these
when 3, 4 or 5
Christmas bells show
up on the reels. Up
to 10 free spins can
be earned at once,
with the opportunity
of even more free
spins being
activated with the
stacking feature.
What could arguably
be interpreted as
just as festive as
"Deck the Halls" is
Microgaming's latest
Wild Western themed
game called "Sunset
Showdown". This slot
sets five reels into
motion and offers
players the chance
to wager on 25
paylines. Good'ol
cowgirl, Annie
Calamity, is the
symbol you want to
hit here - acting as
a wild and
multiplier that
doubles winnings and
can trigger three
re-spin bonuses. The
top prize is
£61,130, and
quadruple winnings
can be earned on a
showdown gamble
feature - true Wild
Wild West style.
Taking it down yet
another five
paylines is
Microgaming's latest
5-reel, 20-payline
video slot called
"Reel Baron". If
you're a fan of
airplanes and
aviation, this slot
has something to
offer in
entertainment alone.
Antique fighter
planes adorn the
reels on "Reel
Baron", not to
mention the Baron
Wings themselves,
which serves as the
wild symbol.
Scatters,
multipliers and free
spins are part of
the pot, with 10,000
coins awarded in the
base game and up to
100,000 on free
spins.
