This month's regular new game releases feature unusual adaptations of the Wild and Bonus concepts across a range of four games: the Mad Hatters and Starscape video slots, Spanish 21 Multi-hand Blackjack and Bonus Deuces Wild video poker.
Star of the latest releases is a major 5 reel, 30 pay-line video slot branded Mad Hatters, which is themed on the famous and quirky tea party from the Alice in Wonderland fable. This is a nutty tea party with a difference, where with a little luck and good interactive judgment players really can have their cake and eat it!
It's a game with some unique "firsts" for online gaming, with a variety of winning ways on more pay-lines and up to 50 free spins, and innovative Extra Wild and additional Wild features over and above Pick a Bonus, Scatter, Free Spins, Multiplier and Wild opportunities.
Backing the fast action on this dynamic and compelling new game is the Mad Hatter's Tea Party theme, presented through pinpoint-sharp and brightly coloured graphics that introduce weirdly garbed guests, scrumptious pastries, fragrant teas and all manner of cute and mysterious figures.
Look out for the crazy cuckoo, because this activates an on-screen bonus feature where the player can choose three out of five birds and add the wins to pay-line rewards. And those wins can be pretty insane - up to 11 100 coins. Hope for the rabbit in the magician's hat that is our Scatter symbol, too because the appearance of these across the reels activates the Free Spin function where players can rack up the most free spins ever in a game on the Internet... up to 50. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet, and wins within those free spins are multiplied by x2.
All of these features can contribute to the cashier cage bottom line, with up to $50 000 a possibility on the base game, another $50 000 achievable on the free spins multiplier and to top off this tempting cake, a bonus cherry of up to $2775. And there are plenty of lesser amounts to reap in between. Play can be for as little as a cent or as much as the high roller maximum bet of $75.
The second video slot on the release list this month is Starscape, a future themed game which uses truly stellar graphics to create a huge galactic presence around an exceptionally smooth-running 5 reel, 25 payline format with a host of entertaining features, all designed to give an out of this world playing experience.
Starscape has Wild, Scatter, Pick a Bonus and Mystery Multiplier features, all delivering repeated chances to add value to bottom line winnings and presented on Viper - the most complete, player-friendly gambling platform on the Internet.
The high detail space-age theme on this game leaves players star-struck with brilliantly coloured Saturn and its rings, giant Jupiter, fast moving icy asteroids and a fire-storming Sun so real that the heat is almost palpable! The Bonus screen that appears when the huge Scatter spacecraft glide majestically across the reels, triggering a giant window into the vastness of space is especially noteworthy, with 25 interstellar map grids to find a mystery multiplier that hyperdrives wins by up to 20 000 coins.
This beautifully presented video slot has a maximum jackpot that can blast the player to $70 000 in the base game, with a further $37 500 achievable on bonuses, all accompanied by a planet load of thrills and excitement that will keep players engaged for light years!
The latest video poker in this month's game releases is like having 4 Jokers in a pack of cards - the four deuces (or 2) cards are Wild.
This online thriller is branded Bonus Deuces Wild video poker, a game that has proved immensely popular among land casino gamblers. Any deuce can substitute for any other card of any other suit - it really is like having four Jokers in the pack, and it gives a new and very appealing twist to a great casino standard.
When a player has one or more deuces in a final hand, the outstanding Viper software will automatically assign it a suit and value to give the highest possible payout with reference to the other cards held. This player-friendly facility ensures that it is a lot easier, and much faster to create potentially winning hands.
The screen layout on Bonus Deuces Wild video poker has been developed with the video poker player front-of-mind and features an uncluttered design with large, easily read cards dealt with smooth precision from the 52 card deck. The paytable is generous, with the top ranking hands winning 5 000 coins on a Royal Flush, 2 000 on 4 deuces with an Ace and 1 000 on 4 deuces together.
Played at 5 coins a hand, in the range 0.25c to $5 a pop, the maximum bet is $25 a hand, and at that level the jackpot could deliver a generous $25 000. The game also features a Gamble opportunity where up to $3 200 can be won.
Microgaming's final game in this month's releases has been developed as a result of keen demand from the online player community for a Spanish 21 Blackjack game in the high action multi-hand BJ gamestyle.
Spanish 21 Multi-hand Blackjack is played as a hole card game with 8 Spanish card decks consisting of 48 cards each (the regular 52 cards without the 4 tens) The game is a faster paced multi-hand version of a popular single hand blackjack genre, giving players the option of betting on up to 5 hands at the table.
Blackjacks pay 3 to 1, Insurance 2 to 1 and the Dealer stands on all 17. There is a player payout bonus on this game, too - Spanish 21 Multi-hand Blackjack awards this whenever the player reaches 21, with the amount dependent on the number of cards taken to get there, and on condition there has been no doubling down.
The fine graphics on the game are in appropriate full colours, with all controls easily and logically to hand and the rules of the game upfront on the table. This is a game that caters for a wide range of playing styles and bankrolls, and players can gamble from denominations as small as $1 a hand right the way up to a high rolling $200. The chip pile resizes to make up the current bet with the least possible number of chips.
