29.07.2005

Online gambling software provider Microgaming's July 2005 new game releases include a 50 Power Play Poker VP, and three feature-rich video slots with widely diverse themes.

This month's flagship is a unique and highly entertaining 5 reel, 20 payline video slot that oozes wealth and the high life. Cashville has it all and then some. Wild and Scatter symbols, Free Spins, a double your money Gamble feature and for the first time a choice of 4 entertaining and rewarding bonus benefactors. The result is an impressive range of thrills and excitement packed into a major game with serious and varied reward potential.

Using a rich colour palette and the latest graphic design techniques and gaming technology, the theme introduces a variety of amusing bonus symbols and personalities, including oil baron Bill Bullion and a choice of oil rigs, the blue rinsed Dame Von Deeds with her tempting property portfolio, a suave Sir Sterling with his many bulging bank vaults and the extraordinary art collection of blonde widow Betty Boodle. Enhancing the monetary theme further are gilt-edged share certificates, Havana cigars, priceless jewelry and lots of lovely greenbacks.

In keeping with the overall ambience of wealth and success, the maximum jackpot on this game is a tempting 500 000 coins or 100 000 in currency, and lucky players could add another 9 000 in currency to that through the bonus feature.

In last month's releases Microgaming introduced the Golden Goose bonusing program with 2 of an intended 4 new slots using the innovative concept. In a remarkably short time the Golden Goose Bonus seems to have enjoyed a positive reception from the player community, encouraging the company to launch the third game in the series called Genie's Gems. With magic lamps and a generous genie this entertaining 5 reel, 20 payline, 10 coin game, with Wild and Scatter symbols, a Free Spin Bonus Feature, and a Gamble feature will have wide appeal delivering plenty of entertainment.

For an additional wager of five coins per spin, players have the option to activate the Golden Goose bonuses...creating more chances to win significant rewards.

Mythical household critters have nibbled their way through the graphics in the fun third slot in the July releases, branded Munchkins, a 5 reel, 15 payline video slot that boasts win-boosting Wild and Scatter symbols, a very generous x20 Free Spin Bonus Feature....and a chance for player to double their money on the popular Gamble screen.

The new game takes a light-hearted look at the folklore surrounding the tiny gluttons, which are mythical creatures of the night who eat everything from missing car keys and lost socks to mysteriously disappearing homework books.

Final game in the latest tranche is 50 Play Power Poker Deuces and Jokers, the latest in a series of 6 gamestyles that Microgaming is offering in this popular VP genre that offers fast action and big jackpots paying up to 120 000.

In Deuces and Joker every hand is dealt from a separate and independent deck of 53 cards instead of the normal 52 cards. The extra card is a Joker and is a wild card and substitutes for all cards to complete a winning hand. The Deuces in the deck are wild and substitute for any card to complete a winning hand. The Deuces are cards with a face value of 2.

When a Deuces or Joker card is dealt, a suit and denotation are automatically assigned to the card giving the player the highest possible payout for the hand.

Deuces and Joker 50 Play Power VP operates on the peerless Viper software platform, where in addition to autohold, the analyser tables give guidance on current odds and cover permutations to help gamblers make the right decision - a valuable player tool that enables faster and more accurate play

With razor sharp, clean and lean graphics allied to generous pay tables, it is likely that this new 50 Play game will feature high on the play lists of most VP fans.
