New functionality and fresh games in v. 5.0 software upgrade
Wizard Gaming, the Isle of Man registered online gambling software developer that has attracted surpisingly few licensees despite an appealing and mainly slot inventory, has launched version 5 of its software. The upgrade carries fresh functionality and new games.
New functions include:
* Autoplay will now resume after bonus and free spins features have completed
* Groove City and Rocket Girl display a Cash + Bonus popup when the player hovers over the payout area on the bottom left of the screen - an innovation that will be added to all games in future.
* The Cashier now prompts players to accept or decline bonus offers
* Minor improvements to the Cashier, Registration and Game History user interface
* Blackjack animations improved.
* Blackjack keyboard shortcuts updated for greater usability and quicker play.
