One of the world-leading online gaming software providers, Microgaming, has launched four new slot games onto the market this month.
Basketball Star
The first, Basketball Star, couldn’t have been introduced at a better time, with the 70th NBA season just getting underway in the USA. Basketball Star has already been causing a stir within the industry, as it features an impressive 243 ways to win. The symbols on the 5 x 3 reel slot include five shots of basketball players, a gold medal, water bottles, pair of trainers, and a tactics chats. A basketball represents the scatter symbols, and the game’s logo is wild.
Bonus features
Microgaming has gone all out with its bonus features. The first, Rolling Reels, sees the symbols of a winning combination disappear and more fall into place, giving players the chance for another win.
The Wild Shot feature can also be triggered at any point during the game; this gives players a free spin with two wild reels. There are 25 free spins up for grabs when the reels show three or more scatters.
Crowd-pleaser
Commenting on the launch of Basketball Star, Mike Hebden, Microgaming’s head of casino gaming, said: “Packing the excitement of a major league final, we’re confident the game will be a crowd-pleaser. Plus its simultaneous release ensures players are able to enjoy the game no matter their preferred playing device, adding to the industry’s biggest portfolio of mobile games available to our operators.”
More releases
Microgaming hasn’t settled for just one new release though, as alongside Basketball Star, are the launched of three highly anticipated slots: So Many Monsters, So Much Candy, and So Much Sushi. These mobile-optimised slot games were previously released for PC and Mac in September, and are all 5-reel, 25-line video slot games, just with different themes.
