Microgaming Releases Three New Slots Games Based on Wildlife
Microgaming, a software provider for online casinos well-known for its wide game portfolio comprising feature-rich slot machine games, has released new slots games based on the theme of wildlife. The games will go live at online casinos powered by the software provider, in June. One of the games is Untamed – Giant Panda. With this release, Microgaming will be deviating from its standard practice of not launching more than one game in a short period, from the same series. The predecessor of the game is Untamed – Bengal Tiger, which was brought out at online casinos in May.
Untamed – Giant Panda
In Untamed – Giant Panda, players will get to explore the forests in China where the Giant Panda lives. Besides the fact that both games are from the same series, there is another similarity – they are based on animals which are endangered. Through these games, Microgaming is doing its bit to raise awareness about such animals.
In Untamed – Giant Panda, players will get to make the most of 243 options for winning. The video slot game comes with four features – Your Gamble, Brilliant Wilds, Lucky Nudge and Collect-A-Wild. With Your Gamble, players will get to make changes to the gambling odds. This can be done based on their gaming preference. The option allows players to retain a percentage of their earnings.
Brilliant Wilds is a feature that works during the rounds where free spins are activated. The wild symbols that show up on the screen are held in place for the rest of the free spins. Lucky Nudge is a feature that allows players to take a quick look at the scatter symbols a little below or above the reel edges. This will give players an idea of the symbols that are likely to activate the free spins. With Collect-A-Wild, a reel can be turned wild for a maximum of four spins. For this, you will have to collect four wilds on the reels.
Safari Surf
Safari Surf, another game from Microgaming’s video slots portfolio, is from its All-Pays category. It comes with a bonus feature called Safari Surf Wax. This can be activated if at least three scatter symbols show up somewhere on the reels. During the game, fifteen of the Surf Wax symbols show up. The player will then get multiple chances for selecting the symbols.
Based on the icons he collects, the player will get a certain number of prizes. In case a selected symbol shows the word ‘Collect’, the round will come to an end. After this, the total prizes he earned during the rounds will be awarded. The symbols may include another option – Win All. If the player selects this, he will be provided with the prize amount mentioned beneath all the symbols in the round. The game will then go on to the next round.
White Buffalo
The third game that players can look forward to at some of the Microgaming casinos is White Buffalo. The setting of the game is in the North American Great Plains. The video slot machine has twenty-five paylines and impressive graphics which create a unique environment for playing. The game has free spins rounds which are activated at random. In these rounds, players can get six spins free.
Some of the regular symbols like the Ram, Elk and Moose transform into icons of the White Buffalo. You can activate the free spins several times in the game. In case you get a new set of free spins during this round, they will get added to the ones yet to play.
Untamed – Giant Panda can be played on the Flash platform from Microgaming, as well as its Viper version which has to be downloaded. Surf Safari and White Buffalo will be available only on the former. Some of the online casinos where players can expect to access the latest offerings from Microgaming are Casino Splendido, Spin Palace, Platinum Play and All Slots.
Untamed Bengal Tiger
Among Microgaming’s previous releases was Untamed Bengal Tiger, a game in which players get 234 ways for winning. The range of total bets allowed on each spin is between 0.30 and 4.50 credits. Some of the regular symbols in the game are those of a forest and deer. A Bengal tigress, tiger and a cub are others. The game also features high value cards in the range of Ace to 10. The animation and graphics in the game are brilliant. One of the wildlife scenes depicted well through animation is that of a tigress and her cub playing with each other.
The scatter in the game is an icon of the tiger’s eye, which pays the scatter payouts. The symbol can activate the twenty free spins. An interesting feature in the round is called Trailing Wilds, in which a line of wild symbols is generated when the symbols move down the reels.
