Ten years ago when Microgaming decided to build a Flash software platform, it started to select the most popular and famous slot machines from its existing slot gaming downloadable content and then convert these games into flash slot machines. This policy was applied by the company for a long period of time. This plan changed recently as the company started to add new flash slot games that are not available on its download slot machines section. Most of the games were developed by the company and some of them were developed by other companies. Microgaming’s interest in the flash platform seems to be increasing as the company started to add new games to the flash platform more than the download platform.
For instance, one of the famous flash games is provided by Genesis Gaming, it is called Drone Wars. Judging from its name, it is themed in the future and it includes symbols to fit that theme. The symbols include laser guns, astronauts and spaceships. One of its main features is the Drone Wars Battle Plan. It is triggered when 3 scatter symbols at least appear on the reels. In this feature, the user will have to pick a type of attack, either the Space Attack or the Planetary Attack. Space Attack gives the player a total sum of 5 free spins on the slot machine. Drones start to attack the reels’ symbols following every spin. Then the drones vanish and the symbols remaining on the reels become wilds. On the other hand, if the player picks the Planetary Assault, the player is tasked to annihilate the drone base and he will earn credit for every drone he destroys.
It is known that Microgaming provides its players with an amazing variety of video poker games, even more than any other software developer. One of the most famous video poker slots is called Double Double Bonus Poker.
The payout table of Double Double Bonus Poker is the same payout table of Jacks or Better with only some minor differences. In Jacks or Better, the payout is twenty five coins for 4 of a kind. In Double Double Poker Bonus there are 5 different types of 4 of a kind poker hands. The rewards for such hands vary between fifty coins up to four hundred coins. In order to compensate for such increase in the payout, the payout for 2 of a kind has decreased from 2 coins to only one coin. This reduction in the pay is very effective on the players because 2 pairs occur a lot, with a percentage of 12% and on the other hand, 4 of a kind only occurs less than one percent.
The five different kinds of 4 of a kind in Double Double Bonus Poker are as followed:
– 4x Aces and the 5th card being a two, a three or a four. The payout for this kind of 4 of a kind is four hundred coins which is the highest pay. It is ever more than the payout of the Royal Flush.
-4x Aces and the 5th card being any other card. The payout is one hundred and sixty coins.
-4x 2s, 3s or 4s and the fifth card being an Ace, 2, 3 or 4. The payout is also one hundred and sixty coins.
-4x 2s, 3s or 4s and the 5th card being any other card. The payout is eighty coins.
– Any other kind of 4 of a kind and the payout is fifty coins.
There is a very famous feature in most of the internet slot machines, this feature is the
Gamble Game and most software developers add this feature to their slot machines. For instance, many slot games provided by Playtech and Microgaming hold this feature. This Gamble Game gives the players the chance to double and quadruple their earned payouts. Of course, this rewarding chance comes at a price as it is very risky. While players can double their earned payouts, they can also lose it all if they lose in the gamble game.
Hitherto, the Gamble Game provided by Microgaming is very simple. In order for players to engage in this gamble game, the player will have to wager all of this payout that he won from the slot machine. The player then starts to guess either the color or the suit of the upcoming game card. If he guesses the right color, the player’s pay will be doubled. If the player guesses the suit of the card right, he will quadruple his pay. Of course any wrong guess will make the play lose his original payout form the slot game.
Microgaming has launched a new slot game called Untamed Bengal Tiger. It was launched in May of this year. This game has a game called Your Gamble. It is basically a more advanced edition of the Gamble Game. The same rules apply, the differences is in the platform and the graphics. It is optional and it is activated the same way as the Gamble Game.
