November 2010
ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming (www.microgaming.com), the world’s
largest provider of online gaming software, adds four exciting new
Side Games to its Bingo offering, demonstrating its commitment to
providing the very best all-round content to its operators. This
month’s games feature a double bill of glittering gems, magnificent
sevens and a highly infectious new slot game with a medical theme.
Neill Whyte, Head of Bingo at Microgaming said: “These latest
Side Games are further evidence of Microgaming’s continued
commitment to offering the very best entertainment mix possible.
With player enticement and retention paramount for our operators,
Side Games are an increasingly important element of our Bingo offering
and we are constantly striving to add top quality content. November’s
Side Games provide a real sense of variety, with video slots, AWP
style games and instant wins, which we’re sure players will
respond very well to.”
REEL GEMS is the latest five-reel slot to join Microgaming’s
portfolio of Bingo Side Games. The jewel-laden game features 243
Ways to Win and showcases Microgaming’s new re-spin feature.
Reel Gems is focused on the glittering theme of precious gems and
offers diverse winning opportunities through a mix of Wild, Scatter,
Multiplier and retriggering Free Spins.
When 3, 4 or 5 Diamond Ring symbols appear on the reels it will
activate 15 retriggering Free Spins, which triple all wins, with
the opportunity of up to 120,000 coins on this feature alone. Rewards
can be reaped by using the glistening Reel Gem logo as a substitute
for other symbols, delivering up to 40,000 coins in return.
MAGNIFICENT 777’S is an AWP style game with three reels,
holds and nudges. The game’s symbols are a mix of coloured
seven’s and stars, and wins are awarded when three of a kind
symbols appear on the win-line. Red Sevens are worth up to 200 times
the original bet, Blue Sevens are worth up to 10 times and any mix
of Red and Blue Sevens are worth up to double the original bet.
When a coloured star appears on the middle reel’s win line,
a random number of winning spins are awarded, with the value of
each added to the balance at the end of each spin. A Bronze Star
pays out lower end total, a Silver Star pays out middle range total
wins, with an odd chance of paying a high total win and a Gold Stars
pays out high end total wins. The reel band also has ‘dash’
symbols that do not produce a three of a kind win, but they will
break up potential wins.
PHAROAH’S GEMS is the second game in November’s double
bill of gem themed Side Games and takes the form of a three-in-one
instant win card. Big prizes are the aim of the game and players
have three chances to win in the pharaoh’s tomb, with the
opportunity to take home up to 7500 times their original stake.
The game’s theme is the grandeur and opulence of Ancient
Egypt, as players are challenged to search for the treasures of
the pharaohs. With three games on offer, discovering a win in the
treasure chest in game 1, matching a gem to the winning symbol in
game 2, or revealing a prize from the Nefertiti statue in game 3,
all lead the player to riches.
GERMINATOR is a highly infectious slot style game where a host
of colourful germs act as the symbols. The aim is to match three
or more similar germs in a horizontal or vertical line to win. When
a row of germs are involved in a winning line they are “cured”,
allowing the germs above to cascade down and fill the gap, offering
players the chance of even more wins.
If three or more bonus pills appear on the grid at the end of the
game, the Medi-Bonus will trigger, allowing players to remove an
entire strain of germs from the screen. The maximum jackpot for
a single winning line is 360 coins, but players can benefit from
an infinite number of cascades, greatly increasing their win potential.
