Multiplayer Viper software launched

Online gamblers will be able to compete head to head with other fans of games like Lara Croft Tomb Raider and Thunderstruck with the introduction of new multiplayer Viper software from Isle of Man based Microgaming.

All Jackpots Casino, a Microgaming licensee in the Jackpot Factory group is among the first to launch the innovative software which can be downloaded for free to power tournaments that allow players to compete in multiplayer contests on popular games.

All Jackpots Casino claims it is hosting 35 or more MPV slot tournaments, including a $20 000 weekender tournament and 16 "free spin" tournaments. While buy-in levels vary, all players start off with the same amount of coins in tournament play, as they try to amass as many coins in the allotted time period as possible. Depending on the tournament, the top finishers win cash prizes that are high in relation to the buy-in.

"What makes these tournaments so exciting is that players can see how they fare against other slot players," said David Brickman, spokesperson for Jackpot Factory. "The idea behind this concept is multiplayer online poker, which has proven to be very successful in its own right."

The MPV upgrade comes just a week after the online casino's multi-language Viper software launch that allows French, German, Italian and Spanish speakers to play in a their native language.

Powered by Microgaming and accredited by eCOGRA, All Jackpots Casino features over 300 casino games, as well as 21 progressive slots.
