10/5/09 - Precious metals, ice age adventures and a high kicking kung-fu monkey
Precious metals, ice age adventures and a high kicking kung-fu monkey all feature in the latest game releases from the Isle of Man online gambling software provider Microgaming, along with an interesting new prestige poker game in the firm's acclaimed Gold Series.
In the video slot KUNG FU MONKEY angry apes guard the road to reward, in a 5 reel, 15 payline game with a comical martial arts theme. This is a big game with a Wild, two Scatters, Multipliers, Free Spins and an innovative three level, second screen bonus feature where players fight their way past simian ninjas and other threats to free a hostage and win further rewards.
The slot is loaded with brilliant colour graphics depicting the oriental characters on which it is centred; beautiful oriental maids, comical ninja monkeys and threatening baboons. Players who successfully progress to the third and final level will face the game’s meanest character, the Big Bad Boss gorilla, who can only be defeated by selecting the right combination of martial arts techniques. If all this action is not enough, there are the winning combinations which can be built up with the Wild symbol - the main mammal himself, the Kung Fu Monkey.
Joining the prestigious Gold Series games inventory at Microgaming is TEXAS HOLD'EM BONUS POKER, which adds a new dimension to the classic casino game by including side bet action. Once play begins, the appearance of icons, card flips and chip movements deliver an unprecedented level of gaming realism.
The game is played with a single deck of 52 cards, but unlike traditional Texas Hold’em, there is no bet after the river.
Innovative enhancements to the casino table include clear player views, an enlarged chip tray, rollover and ambient background music, all enhancing the casino feel of the game.
Microgaming’s PURE PLATINUM video slot puts the ‘bling’ into gambling. The alluring gleam of the world's most precious metal is immediately apparent in this new 5 reel, 40 payline-line video slot which is rich in opportunities such as Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins and Multipliers.
Decadent luxury is the theme here, with razor sharp graphics featuring expensive watches, glittering rings and platinum ingots that lead players to winnings and lucrative free spins.
In the final game in the October releases, Microgaming invites players to chill out in WOOLY WORLD, an ice age themed 5 reel, 20 payline-line video slot where the player navigates through a frozen landscape, encountering a host of prehistoric comic critters such as shaggy mammoths and cheery looking caveman, all rendered in high quality cartoon-style graphics.
Wild and Scatter features help the player to reap rewards and gain access to generous Free Spins and Multipliers, all capped with a Gamble feature where the correct prediction on colour and suit can double or quadruple wins.
You can play all these games here.
