Microgaming May 2010 Slots Previews

If you know that Microgaming is going to release Thunderstruck II this may, you’re only partially updated. Microgaming is also releasing two other slot games next month, in its online casinos.

One of those games is a 5 reel and 25 pay line video slot game named Lady in Red. It is a throwback to the Jazz band ruled times, backed with music from the 1930s. The Lady in Red is the wild symbol, and her appearance on the reels doubles the payouts when she forms part of winning combinations. Scatter symbol is the Paparazzi, with his old fashioned flash bulb camera. It activates free spins bonus round, wherein the player is awarded up to 25 free spins at tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered. Even though there are no progressive jackpots in Lady in Red, there is an attractive fixed jackpot of 12,500 coins, which is triggered when five Lady in Red Logo symbols align in one of the active pay lines. Other game symbols on the reel include the Band, the Red Roses, the Cognac, alongside high value card symbols. Finally, one could wager 10 coins per pay line (i.e. 250 coins per spin), with coin size varying from 0.01 to 0.20. This makes Lady in Red an affordable game even for the low rollers out there.

The other one on the block has a female in the lead, and it is named Queen of the Jungle. The woman is the Queen of the Jungle, and the setting African forests. The game symbols include Monkeys, a Tarzan type he-man, Fruits and high value card symbols. The Queen of the Jungle is the wild symbol while the Monkeys symbol is the scatter symbol. The Passion Juice symbol triggers the free spins, while three or more Monkeys symbols activates a bonus game on the second screen wherein players can choose from three games. Monkey Gift Bonus and Monkey Fetch Bonus are bonus games wherein players get to pick an item to reveal the bonus amount. The Monkey Chop Bonus is interesting as it lets players pick coconuts until one does not break. On the wagering front, the coin size ranges from 0.01 to 0.50, offering more wagering options for the players.

Thunderstruck II, along with Lady in Red and Queen of the Jungle is set to release on May 5, 2010 in all Microgaming online casinos.
