February’s slots releases from Microgaming
Published on 6 February 2009
Online casino games developer, Microgaming have announced the release of three new online slots games this month. Heat, an athletic rodent and fishing bears are the themes of Microgaming’s latest additions to their portfolio of online games.
The first new slot is called Burning Desire and features the same concept as the Wagerworks Triple Fortune Dragon game in which they are no paylines as such but 243 different ways to win.
A jackpot of 30,000 credits can be won in the main game and up to 90,000 credits can possibly be yours by playing out the free spins bonus. To initiate the free spins bonus, you need to match between 3 and 5 gold coins to initially earn 15 free spins. These free spins can be retriggered and wins can carry a 3 times multiplier in the free spins round. There are also scatter wins and the Burning Desire symbol acts as a wild.
The second slots offering from Microgaming this month is the athletic rodent-themed Track and Fieldmouse. The game has 3-reels and 1-payline and features holds and nudges in the traditional British pub fruit machine format.
In keeping with the athletic theme, there are three levels of winnings, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Of course the gold winnings are more lucrative than silver and the silver awards are more lucrative than bronze. Up to 5,000 credits can be won by matching the 5 times Jackpot symbol. Other symbols on the reels include, the fieldmouse himself, medals, victory torches and winged shoes.
The last of Microgaming’s new slots this month is the fishing-themed Bearly Fishing about bears going fishing. It has 5-reels and 25-paylines whereby 12,000 credits can be won in the main game and up to 72,000 credits by retriggering the free spins bonus.
Once you have earned an initial 15 free spins the fishing basket icon is key, as it acts as a scatter. On entering the free spins bonus you must choose one of three fishing locations and the number of flying salmon which has been caught by baby bear. This determines your multiplier in the free spins round, which can be up to 6 times your normal reward. Just like in Burning Desire the free spins bonus can be retriggered a number of times.
Bearly Fishing also has the popular Gamble feature used in many slots. This feature gives punters the opportunity to gamble their winnings and double or quadruple their money won from their previous spin. To win the gamble you need to correctly guess the colour and suit of the playing card.
