Microgaming Launches Three New Games
Date Posted : October 20, 2008

The monthly Microgaming update is complete and we now have three new games to play. Three of the new games are slots with Bob's Bowling Bonanza, Johnny Specter and Spikes Night Out. The fourth game is a new updated version of European Blackjack using the Gold Series advanced format.

Bob's Bowling Bonanza. 

With a big 5 reel, 30 pay-line structure that includes reels morphing into bowling lanes, this game will generate hours of fun and the chance of some huge rewards.

The theme is amusingly created by colorful, quality cartoon graphics featuring Bowling Bob and his babe Babs, along with trophies, bowling shoes, pins and balls, all supporting a big, entertaining game with Wild, Scatter, Bonus Game, Expanding Reel and Gamble features to keep the action fast and furious.

The Perfect Game is an important feature of the game, triggered when the Strike symbol appears simultaneously anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. When triggered, the reels morph into bowling lanes, where the player delivers a virtual ball toward the serried pins - the number of pins knocked down is multiplied by the triggering bet with the possibility of winning up to 20x per lane and 3 full strikes.

Another winning symbol is the bowling ball itself, which acts as the Scatter helping the player to create winning combinations. The Strike is Wild and substitutes for all symbols - a major advantage in building winning lines.

Jonny Specter

This 5 reel 20 line slot is something special, with a ghostly wandering Wild, an ectoplasmic Bonus game and a freaky Free Spin Feature with a wild reel, all wrapped in a full color theme with instantly recognizable phantom busting elements such as a Pscho Kinetic Energy safe, spook zappin' guns, haunted mansions and Jonny's own unique emergency response vehicle.

Rewarding symbols to look for here are the greedy green ghost that randomly haunts the reels - one is guaranteed on every spin - with which winning combinations can be built into bigger wins. Then there's the haunted mansion, which inhabits reel 5 and triggers the bonus game-within-the-game, where players are invited to capture one of three ghosts to win a prize.

Finally, there's the neon ghost-sighting symbol that enables the player to zero in on up to 13 generous Free Spins carrying a 2x multiplier - get 3, 4 or 5 of these and enjoy the guaranteed added benefit during each free spin of a reel haunted at random that turns all symbols on that reel wild to complete valuable combinations.

Spikes Night Out

With great graphics, awesome sound effects and a slew of features that includes Wild, Scatter and Bonus opportunities, this is a game for which players will definitely want to ante up more than a mere bone, promising loads of fun and some exciting chances to take out more than was put in.

The Doggy Time Scatter symbol provides great building blocks for good fortune, and on reels 3, 4 or 5 trigger a second screen bonus feature where players make up to six canine picks to win generous prizes.

The Spike's Nite Out symbol is appropriately Wild and has wide substitution powers which enable players to achieve outstanding combinations that can earn up to 150 000 coins, in this case it even substitutes for the scatter!

This is a good game for low-rollers, too - bets from 0.01 a line up to 0.20 are accepted, with a maximum overall bet of 30.00 per spin.  With this kind of investment in Lady Luck, players can earn up to 30 000.00 in the base game and a further 1350.00 on bonuses.
