Christmas slots from Microgaming

News on 17 Dec 2008

Online gambling software developer Microgaming has just released its December game releases, featuring three new slots to occupy players over the holiday season.
In keeping with the generous spirit of the festive season, Microgaming’s latest video slot release DECK THE HALLS offers a sleigh-load of winning opportunities through Wilds, Stacked Wilds, Scatters, Multipliers, Free Spins and Free Games in a truly entertaining 5 reel, 30 pay-line game.
In Deck The Halls, a feast of Christmas icons unfold on the screen in a burst of colour, sound and brilliant graphics of Christmas trees, reindeers, roast turkey, blazing log fires and gift stockings on the mantelpiece, capturing the essence of the festive season.
Watch out for Santa Claus who delivers the popular stacking feature in both the base game and in the Free Spins awards, along with the distinctive ‘Deck the Halls’ logo which is the Wild here, substituting for most symbols to build cash generating combinations in which wins are doubled up to 2.4 million coins. Those double-your-winnings Free Spins appear when 3, 4 or 5 Christmas bells spin up, generating 10 free spins in which more spins can be re-triggered and an innovative further stacking feature within the game can be activated. It’s a thoroughly entertaining package full of integrated but diverse gaming features that players everywhere will enjoy.
With a betting range as low as 0.01 and up to 0.05, a maximum bet of 15.00 can bring rewards of 15 000.00 in the base game and a festive bonanza of 120 000.00 from the Free Spins – enough to ensure a jolly Yuletide for all involved.
Gun-slinging gals win prizes for players in another new slot in Microgaming’s big 5 reel, 25 pay-line range. Branded SUNSET SHOWDOWN, it’s redolent with gunsmoke and gals in a colourful Wild West setting, the theme presented through vibrant graphics depicting boots ‘n saddles, six-guns and tempting bags of money.
Cowgirl Annie Calamity acts as the Wild in this game and helps to put winning combinations together that multiply the line when substituting and then expand, triggering 3 re-spin bonuses when wins are doubled if she appears on reels 1 and 5.  Annie’s deadly six-shooters are the key to a spectacular second screen game and dramatic sun-set showdown with seven baddies – each with a huge reward on his head. Blasting five villains from the surrounding roof-tops, awesome Annie earns the player rewards.
It wouldn’t be the Wild West without some high stake action, which is provided by the popular Gamble feature offering players the chance to double or quadruple their winnings and round off a great Western adventure.
With the right combination of bets and good fortune that can deliver a top prize of up to 61 130.00, it’s enough
The wagering range on this low volatility, 97 percent payout slot is from 1p to 25p a line, with a maximum bet per spin of GBP 62.50. With the right combination of bets and good fortune that can deliver a top prize of up to GBP 61 130 – enough to lure any cowboy or girl away from robbing banks!
There are Iron Cloverleaf medals and the chance of soaring, roaring rewards in Microgaming’s comical take on aerial combat in the new high-flying 5 reel 20 pay-line slot REEL BARON. Enter a bygone age of flimsy biplanes, begoggled aviators and Wilds, Scatters, Multipliers and Free Spins to come out ahead as an ace on a slot that offers medium volatility and an average 96 percent payout.  That can mean achievable wins as high as 10 000 in the base game and up to a bank-boosting 100 000 on Free Spins.
The bright, sharp graphics depict a medley of antique fighter planes together with Microgaming’s own four leaf Iron Clover medals, bombs, Zeppelins, flying helmets and shiny brass compasses.  These act as Scatters, guiding the player to winning combinations and 10 Free Spins with a new escalating Multiplier feature that can really send winnings skywards.
And for a flight on the Wild side, there’s the Reel Baron Wings, ready to build winning lines and boost cash balances for the lucky player. A game to suit all pockets, the wagering range starts at 0.01 and goes up to 0.50 a line with a maximum bet per spin of 100.00.
