Online gambling software developer and provider Microgaming has launched eight new Bingo side games that include video slots, scratchcards, casual games and UK-pub style slot games.
Bingo side games are playing an increasing role in the Bingo gaming industry, and are often undervalued, said a company spokesman this week. Side games offer an excellent form of entertainment within the Bingo room whilst players wait for the balls to be drawn.
Big Break, Harveys and Don Deal all feature in August's video slot releases; Big break is a 15 payline playful slot, with monkeys and apes where the Lucky Break symbol on reel five allows wins not only from right to left, but left to right too. All high symbols act as Scatters, and will multiply the win by the total bet.
Harveys is a five reel, 25 payline slot, packed with between 6 to 30 recurring Free Spins, and up to 25x multiplier. Players can hit the champagne and snail symbols to reap rewards.
Don Deal is a three reel, 1 payline slot offering significant rewards.
August's casual game is Three Wheeler, which uses three spinning wheels instead of dice. Each wheel spins independently of the others, and every position on the table is a bet on the outcome of 1, 2 or 3 of the dice. In order to win the win line, it must match the pre-placed bet total.
Joining the impressive portfolio of scratchcard games available to Microgaming Bingo licensees are Hairy Fairies and Turtley Awesome. Both games include charming characters that scratch away to reveal sumptuous rewards. Players must match three symbols by picking from 9 or 12 choices, for the chance to win a top prize of up to the initial stake x 2 500.
UK-pub style slot games Lucky Darts and Billion Dollar Gran, are the final two games to launch in August. Lucky Darts is a bright and colourful attention grabbing game played across three separate screens; a main reel, a super game and a feature game.
Billion Dollar Gran is packed with novel symbols such as cups of tea, jewellery boxes, pearls, battenburg cake and knitting. Win spins are awarded based on reelwins on the reels games. Three Bowl symbols on the win line also activate a video feature game.
