Trick or Treat? Microgaming Launches Its Thrilling Halloween® Online Slot

,
MicrogamingISLE OF MAN – Today, Microgaming unveils its Halloween® online slot.
Following the signing of a licensing agreement announced in July, Microgaming has developed an online slot based on the 1978 American independent slasher film. The movie was directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starred Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. It centres on the character Michael Myers, who on Halloween night in 1963 at the age of six, murdered his sister. 15 years later, he returns to the fictional midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois, to continue his killing spree.
Microgaming’s Halloween online slot is a 50 line game with the reel set representing Michael’s dark and derelict house. Much like the film, Michael persistently stalks the game; players may see him lurking in the window or behind the clothesline. The game also features iconic sound bites from the movie, along with the chilling soundtrack.

Feature rich, the slot introduces Wandering Reels, a group of three reels that spin together. The Wandering Reels contain Jumbo Blocks, which are large 3×4 high symbols that span three reels. The Wandering Reels can stop in one of three positions at random in the base game, which determines the reels and lines played, adding significantly to the sense of anticipation of the game. The feature allows for big wins, especially when it sticks to the leftmost position on the reels.

Adding suspense to the game, the Trick or Treat Wheel Bonus is triggered by three bonus symbols in the base game, and offers players the opportunity to multiply their stake with cash prizes, until they enter either the Boogeyman Bonus or Free Spins.

The Boogeyman Bonus is a pick bonus that takes place inside Michael Myers’ house. With the bonus’ atmosphere representing the eerie nature of the film, players must escape Michael, as finding him ends the bonus round. Leaves reveal cash prizes which are combined with a multiplier that increases every time the player finds a cash prize, moving them closer to escaping the house. Players may find an immunity weapon, which can be used to prolong the bonus round if Michael is picked.

Free Spins are triggered on the bonus wheel if the player lands on any character (Laurie, Loomis, Annie or Lynda), except Michael. Nine free spins are awarded, during which, the triggering character will replace all other high symbols, including Jumbo Blocks. The Free Spins round takes place at night time and the Wandering Reels move to fixed positions over the nine free spins.

“Our Halloween online slot is a celebration of the classic horror film. The game studio creating this game are big fans of the movie and brand, and I think the passion they have is evident in the game. The design and storytelling is superb and it presents a range of environmental effects that add to the suspense. This is combined with a feature rich game engine that will continually thrill players. As Sheriff Brackett says, ‘It’s Halloween, everyone’s entitled to one good scare’.” David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming

Microgaming signed the agreement for Halloween through Compass International Pictures, brokered by Creative Licensing Corporation.

“The mechanics on the ‘Halloween’ game from Microgaming are truly exceptional. They developed new pay tables and new ways to win that I think fit beautifully within the game.” Stephanie Kupperman, Director of Business Development for Creative Licensing

“There Can be Only One” – Microgaming Signs Licensing Agreement for Highlander™

,

MicrogamingISLE OF MAN – Microgaming has signed a licensing agreement to develop an online slot based on the original “Highlander™” film.

Released in 1986 and directed by Russell Mulcahy, “Highlander” is based on a story by Gregory Widen. The movie is set between 1980s New York City and historical Scotland, and features an immortal Scottish swordsman, Connor MacLeod played by Christopher Lambert, who must confront the last of his immortal opponent to win the fabled “prize.”

Since its release, the film has developed an enormous cult following, inspiring a franchise which stands strong to this day.

“Highlander is seen as one of the great cult hits of the 80s. With its action-packed storyline and hefty rock inspired composition, it is a fantastic brand for an online slot. The game studio is busy completing the slot that captures all of the movie magic. The game’s features will incorporate the historical Scottish Highlands and gritty New York City, with a classic movie poster art style and blistering guitar tracks.” David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming

The 243 ways game goes live on Wednesday 6th December. Microgaming has signed an agreement for Highlander through Studiocanal, brokered by Creative Licensing Corporation.

“Many of the iconic characters from classic “Highlander” are featured in the slot, including Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, Roxanne Hart as Brenda Wyatt and Clancy Brown as The Kurgan. We think fans are really going to enjoy revisiting this epic story, and seeing their favourite heroes and villains in game format.” Stephanie Kupperman at Creative Licensing

Playtech Launches Game-Changing Age of the Gods Live Roulette

,

Leading slot brand available in Casino and Live and linked to pioneering 4-tier progressive jackpot for the  ultimate cross-sell gaming experience

London: September 27th 2017 – Playtech has unveiled Age of the Gods Live Roulette providing licensees with the ultimate cross-sell, progressive jackpot product, and slot fans with twice as many chances to win huge cash prizes with every spin of the wheel.

In a first of its kind move, and the first Live Casino Playtech ONE experience, players can play one of the industry’s best performing slot brands across both casino and live casino, offering two unique experiences while also doubling their chances of winning massive jackpots when playing the live product.

Aligning with Playtech’s market-leading progressive jackpot network, the Live product shares casino liquidity for the first time while also offering players the ultimate desktop and mobile gaming experience. Due to this Playtech ONE innovation players have the chance to not only win on the table if they hit the right number, combination of numbers or colour, but also to simultaneously win huge cash sums across a four-tier jackpot with every spin of the wheel.

This is the first of many Playtech ONE experience games that will feature jackpot functionality.

To ensure that both Live casino and Casino players enjoy the product Playtech designed the game in order that the base game of Roulette is unaltered, but while also enabling players with the chance to win big for a minimal contribution.

With every spin, a small percentage a player’s stake goes towards a four-tier progressive Age of the Gods Mystery Jackpot meaning that there is a jackpot level for every and any type of player. This allows you to win both on the green baize and receive potentially huge sums by unlocking the multiple jackpots on offer.

The ability to share casino liquidity via a Live Casino product gives operators innovative ways to market the Age of Gods brand including driving traffic into the Age of Gods games and rewarding players in real-time using both Free Spins in casino and the Live Casino free spins equivalent of Golden Coins.

Players have instantly taken to the game with jackpots across the four-tier system being won daily including a bet365 player who claimed a £40,000 prize within hours of the product being deployed across the Playtech Live Casino network.

The entire look and feel of the game – including a new dynamic user interface designed to showcase the jackpot ticker and present real-time jackpot notifications – has been developed to fit around the best performing Age of the Gods suite that has leapt to the top of the slot charts and taken the casino world by storm since its launch a year ago.

One of the most impressive new elements is a state-of-the-art 26m custom-built video wall that further enhances gameplay by allowing Playtech to render any imagery needed to support the game and show real-time information on jackpot winners and promotions across both Casino and Live.

The new game is just one of a host of new experiences, dedicated environments and products to be launched within Playtech’s new studio in Riga, Latvia that opened at the beginning of 2017.

The site is the world’s largest Live Casino studio with an 8,500-square metre capacity built on top of the city’s fortified 16th century walls in the heart of the Old Town, an area that dwarfs any existing Live Casino area in the market today.

Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said: “Age of the Gods has been a phenomenal success in casinos across the industry and continues to drive incredible growth for Playtech and our valued partners.

“The innovative and market-first launch of our new Age of the Gods Live Roulette linked to a four-tier progressive jackpot that offers massive cash prizes, will significantly increase the cross-sell of the product for our licensees across both channels and enhance the gaming experience for players.

“Playtech has again demonstrated its determination to lead the Live Casino market through innovation and by working side-by-side with our leading licensees. And yes, there is much more to come!” Akad added.

Pile on the Pounds with Habanero’s Cake Valley

,

Premium slots and table games provider Habanero is giving players the chance to watch their dough rise with the release of baking-themed slot Cake Valley.

The 243-ways game, which features top-of-the-range graphics and crystal-clear sounds, serves up three different ‘Jelly Selector’ game modes that each provide a unique gameplay experience.

The red mode, for example, unlocks four continually moving spots which offer eight free spins as a feature when easily filled with four matching symbols.

The yellow mode features the same pattern, but with three moving symbols required to be matched, unlocking 12 free spins, while the green jelly bean mode delivers 15 free spins if two symbols match in the moving spots.

While the red jelly mode may appear to be the most elusive, it does also give players higher winnings, with the original landing symbols locked in but still moving when the free spins are spinning.

Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Cake Valley’s ‘Jelly Selector’ gives players the chance to choose their mode based on their preferences.

“This unique control, as well as great graphics and sound effects, means Cake Valley is set to be one of Habanero’s most innovative to date and we are sure it will prove to be very popular.”

Cake Valley now joins Habanero’s existing stable of 77 quality video slot titles, 10 table games, and 10 video poker titles, which are integrated into over 60 operators and aggregators and available in 25 European and Asian languages.

Their games, which deliver great visuals, immersive soundtracks, and intelligent math to keep players engaged, are offered via a proprietary platform and come with their own dedicated customer service managers.
