You may have heard already about Microgaming's latest
online casino game release. Included in this batch of
games was the video slot "First Past the Post". Being
hot off the software developer's desk, so to speak,
"First Past the Post" isn't available at every
Microgaming online casino licensee just yet. That all
depends on the licensing agreement Microgaming has with
its casino operators. It also depends on just how quick
to act an operator is in getting the new video slot
seamlessly added to its portfolio of downloadable games
or Flash platform (if the game also has a Flash
version).
This is exactly how it works in the online gaming
world. And it's precisely the reason why you won't find
the same number of games at every Microgaming powered
online casino (or any other software powered casino for
that matter). In general, Microgaming casinos offer the
largest selection of games as a whole. Yet, for some
people, it's not the number of games that matters - and
it doesn't! But more on that in another article. For
now, let's bring our attention to Casino Rewards'
popular gaming destination: Casino Classic.
The popular
eCOGRA approved online casino,
Casino Classic, was one of the first casinos to
publish a press release announcing the availability of
"First Past the Post" (which they already have added to
their game previews page as well). I'm not entirely sure
why Casino Classic devoted an entire press release to
just this one game when there were several other games
worth mentioning in Microgaming's latest release.
Perhaps it's the fact that "First Past the Post" is
themed on the popular pastime of horseracing, which is
the subject of many an online bet (at least in Europe).
And while Casino Classic is indeed open to U.S.
players (with some restrictions - see our
Microgaming Restrictions page), their player base
spans a broad range of countries throughout Europe.
Casino Classic's software platform is now available in
French, German, Spanish, Danish, Italian, and of course,
English. And let's not forget the fact that "First Past
the Post" is a twenty-five payline game offering up to
$10,000 in winnings just on its quadruple gamble feature
alone.
So, if you want to be one of the first gamblers to
spin the reels on "First Past the Post", Casino Classic
is a worthy place to do so. They offer both a Flash and
downloadable version of their software platform
(although I don't believe "First Past the Post" is
available in Flash just yet). Casino Classic also allows
players to open "fun money" practice accounts and real
money accounts. Customer service is available 24/7,
including live chat via their website and software
platform.
