MICROGAMING ANNOUNCES NEW GAMES FOR OCTOBER 2012​


ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming www.microgaming.co.uk, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, is today announcing a trio of new games for October.

The Twisted Circus is a unique five reel, 243 Ways to Win Video Slot which takes players right into the heart of the big top. Players will meet a cast of dark and delightful characters, including fire eaters, snake charmers, a Bearded Lady and a musical monkey, who are all lead by the brilliant and flamboyant Ringmaster.

The Ringmaster may be small, but he has a big influence on rewards in this absorbing slot. If players can match three of his special symbols then they will gain entry to his Circus Bonus Match, where they can win big prizes by matching another three symbols on a 16 space screen. The game is packed full of features; including two different wilds and three scatter tickets which trigger up to 13 free spins with triple multipliers.
All of these entertaining features make The Twisted Circus a game to look out for. The mesmerizing graphics will charm you and take you straight into the Ringmaster’s unforgettable Twisted Circus World.

The Twisted Circus will be available on Microgaming’s Flash and Viper platforms.

Phantom Cash is a five reel, 25 line Video Slot that promises to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. With Halloween on the horizon this slot lets players chase ghosts ‘n ghouls with the famous Victorian ghost hunter duo of Thurmingham and Carstairs.

Players will need to be prepared for plenty of action if they trigger the Ghost Zap feature, which will double their bets and give them the opportunity to win big. Even better, when both hunters appear they can reel in the ghosts together to quadruple their bets and bring on even more free spins.
Players will marvel at the exceptional animation and sound effects as they explore a whole new haunted world in the search for rewards.
Phantom Cash will be available on Microgaming’s Flash and Viper platforms.

The Joy of Six is the latest major five reel, 30 payline addition to the Microgaming Video Slot portfolio. This themed slot lets players compete with one another in a vibrant and colourful casino environment. Players will get to experience the excitement and thrills of craps, the popular dice game, all to a backdrop of atmospheric cheers and sound effects.

The Video Slot’s main attraction is its free games bonus feature, which allows players to roll the wild dice to multiply their wins. At the end of the free games feature or any base game reel win, the player is given the option to try and double or quadruple their winnings via the gamble feature.
Players will become immersed as they compete for the chance to win substantial rewards and learn about The Joy of Six.
The Joy of Six will be available on Microgaming’s Flash platform.
 
All three of the above games have been live at Butlers Bingo since yesterday and I just spent my lunch hour giving them all a try. My own personal preferences put them in the order: Phantom Cash, Twisted Circus, Joy of Six. Is that your preference too?

I'll be honest... I was expecting something totally different when I heard about 'The joy of six'... turns out it's dice based :( (Who else remembers the book I'm thinking of? Do any parents out there still use it these days?)

Well if you're as old as you look in your avatar, I'd be surprised if you could handle anything more exciting than a couple of dice anyway...! :p

I only played a few spins on Phantom Cash, but I played quite a bit on Twisted Circus.

The graphics are very pretty, and I like the sounds. But the bonus round doesn't pay very well, even top pay is only 80x bet. I got free spins once, and they didn't pay any remarkable sum, nor did I see any real big potential, short of hitting five scatters during freespins.

Lots of dead spins, and even 5OAK wins don't pay remarkably well, even for five wilds.

That said, I didn't lose a whole lot on it.

I'll check out Joy of Six at some point I'm sure.

Hey ! less of the old man comments.:eek: If I remember rightly you're old enought to be my... well, slightly older brother? :)

I believe he is half the age of the guy in the avatar, but I agree, he do behave like an old butler:D

I'm quite sure I dont follow you, ma'am. And by the way, I have drawn your bath and polished your tiara for this weekends grand ball. ;)
 
Well I have to admit, I like both of them, Twisted Circus`s main bonus round has covered an aspect that has made many of us - scream /facepalm, slam head into keyboard, slam keyboard into someone else`s head etc, and that aspect is - When selecting a hidden icon, cash amount and you have several two from three`s it`s nearly always the lowest amount one to get picked, that makes a set, TC can cover this if you say, pick a wild, several different characters, and then pick another wild, you have a few x3 bonuses, the best I have had as yet are two full sets, also, unlike it`s 243 win line counterparts it isn`t scared of dropping a few nice combo hits in, very, very impressed with this slot ;).

Phantom Cash also has a unique bonus round, the key here is the two ghost zappers to land simultaneously and increase the multiplier, I had a nice hit with one ghost left and got a full line with a zapper ofc, a bonus round that really could yield some great returns if you manage a retrigger or two, and once again, a fun slot to play.

Wtg MGS Slot Dev team, for actually creating not one, but two, completely unique slots with main bonus rounds that both guarantee a minimum return :thumbsup:.
 
I agree with you sevenths, I have been hitting good amounts on both of the games too. What I don't like so much is the bonusround, but not for the prize, but because it takes too long to finish.
I can't even go and take a cig waiting for it to be over since I have to chose:rolleyes:
A typical gambler with no patience, I know:o

ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming (www.microgaming.co.uk), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, has announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products to create video slot games based on the hit Syfy series, Battlestar Galactica™.

One of television’s most critically acclaimed programmes, Battlestar Galactica, reached over 14 million viewers, worldwide, during its final season. The story of the last remnants of humanity, struggling to find a new home while fleeing from their deadly Cylon enemies, has captured the imagination of millions around the world. Not only did the television series lead to a new generation of fans, it also resulted in three prestigious Emmy awards.

Battlestar Galactica, which is produced by Universal Cable Productions and ran for four seasons on Syfy between 2004 and 2009, evolved into a captivating tale of humanity under siege. The programme has strong international appeal based on its gritty realism, intense storytelling as well as an outstanding cast of actors. Combine these ingredients with the experience and professionalism of Microgaming and the result can only lead to the creation of a hugely successful gaming product.

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, says: "We are thrilled to be creating video slots which are light years ahead of the rest, based on one of the best television programmes of our time. We know we will do the Battlestar Galactica brand justice and that we will not only please our own base of players but exceed the expectations of the show’s fans. We plan to use our market leading software and years of expertise in the gaming industry to ensure that our video game slot will match the success of the show."

“We are very happy to partner with Microgaming on the Battlestar Galactica online video slots,” says Christopher Lucero, Director of Global Consumer Products for NBCUniversal Television. “We’re confident that Microgaming can capture all of the action of Battlestar Galactica with the real-life exhilaration of online gaming; creating an exciting brand extension for Battlestar fans and gamers around the world.”
The hotly anticipated game is due out later this year.
