Microgaming’s January releases
Published on 14 January 2009
Online gaming developer Microgaming, have started the year by releasing the usual four new games this month. They are 3 new slots: Liquid Gold, Polar Pioneers and the sequel to the popular Mega Moolah game; Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive. Microgaming have also brought out a new online video poker game called Joker Poker Level Up Poker.
Joker Poker Level Up Poker features four levels which players need to progress through with more money being on offer to win, the higher the level. Players can win up to 8x their bet and each pack has an extra Joker which acts as a Wild to increase the winning opportunities for players. The jackpot in this game for a royal flush is 5,000 credits. There is also the choice of playing the Gamble feature which has been used in many slots and video poker players which allows you to double your winning bet.
The first of Microgaming’s new slots this month, is the 5-reel, 20-payline Liquid Gold game. As much as 25,000 credits can be won in the main game and by retriggering the free spins bonus (which initially gives you 10 free spins when triggered) up to 50,000 credits can be won on a single bet. There are also wilds, scatters, multipliers and great graphics in this new slots game.
Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive has the same turbocharger feature as Mega Moolah but adds to the original with new 4-tier jackpots and a 5x multiplier. This new game just like the original Mega Moolah carries with it a progressive jackpot worth at least $1 million as long as you get the winning combination of the Mega Jackpot playing the maximum bet. The Mega Jackpot is the highest tier jackpot you can win in the game, below it are the Major, Minor and Mini jackpots. There are also wilds, scatters and you can gain 10 free spins by getting the right combination. Whilst playing out these free spins there is a 5x multiplier.
The last of the new slots games from Microgaming – Polar Pioneers has a wintry Arctic feel. The background graphics show an Arctic explorer with his compass, ice-pick and pack of husky dogs. The game itself features 5-reels and 25-paylines with scatters, wilds, free spins and free spins which can be retriggered whilst playing out free spins to earn more free spins. There is also a new second re-spin feature and the Gamble feature whereby you can double or quadruple your winnings by guessing the correct colour and suit of the playing card. Up to 30,000 credits can be won in the main game with double that amount being available by continuing to retrigger free spins.
