Pragmatic Play enhances Live Casino offering with new table games

March 1, 2022 by Admin

Pragmatic Play’s live casino offering has received a fresh influx of content with a selection of new gaming tables for its Live Casino portfolio.

The firm shared in a recent media release that it was “launching numerous new tables” in its baccarat, speed baccarat, and blackjack ranges.

The company explained that 15 new tables in total have been added to its blackjack product for Live Casino and that online casino operators can access this fresh content via a new studio.

The statement continued, saying,

“Play enhancements include popular side bets ‘Perfect Pairs’ and ‘21+3’, while a ‘Bet Behind’ option makes each seat of the table multi-player. The ‘Early Decisions’ feature makes gameplay smooth and engaging.”

The company also mentioned that Speed Baccarat would be receiving 2 new gaming tables. Speed Baccarat is a variant of the classic where each game round lasts only 27 seconds with a betting time limit of 12 seconds. The cards are dealt face up once the betting time elapses to keep the gameplay as smooth and rapid as possible.

Pragmatic’s classic version of baccarat has also gained another table with the additions to both varieties currently live and ready to play.

Upgrades

The provider added that several of the new tables are equipped with technology that allows for “bespoke customisation, to accurately represent operators’ brands”.

Yossi Barzely, the chief business development officer at Pragmatic Play gave his take on the new development, adding,

“Alongside new and innovative game types, we’re also committed to regularly enhancing our existing range of classic player favourites. We’re delighted with the additional options now available.”​

Stakelogic and Jelly invoke the might of the gods in Might of Zeus

February 4, 2022 by Admin

Stakelogic’s new action-packed title is a stylish Greek Odyssey that features free spins, sticky wilds, monumental multipliers, and prizes worth up to 7163x your stake.

Might of Zeus is a product of the Greenlogic initiative, a partnership program by Stakelogic that empowers fledgling studios to develop game concepts with the assistance of state-of-the-art logic and back-office integration.

Epic Tale

The pokie’s theme draws from Greek mythology and is integrated into the five-reel, 1,024 ways to win format. The rich visuals feature striking stone pillars and a storm brewing above Mount Olympus. The Greek gods Zeus, Hera and Poseidon appear as symbols alongside playing card royals, rendered in elaborate cursive.

The aptly named Gift of Zeus is a feature that can randomly activate on any spin. You are transported to a cut-scene where the leader of the gods transforms a high-value symbol into a wild for the duration of a respin. If any instances of the chosen symbol land on the reels, they will become sticky and another re-spin will be triggered. This process repeats as wilds keep appearing.

You can also take advantage of the Boon of Hera Free Spins. You activate this feature with 3 lightning bolt scatters that reward you with 10 free spins where golden Hera symbols accumulate in a collection meter and award you extra free spins and 3x multipliers.

The feature also includes 2x multiplier wilds that appear when the Gift of Zeus is triggered. If you’ve only landed 2 scatters on the reels, you might still have a chance as the random Bolt of Zeus feature can add the third scatter that you need to reap godly wins.

If you’re into games of chance, this pokie has one more surprise up its divine sleeve with the Herculean gamble mode where you can increase the value of your base game wins by guessing the colour or suit of a concealed playing card.

A Worthy Contender

Salvatore Campione, the head of Greenlogic commented on the new release, saying,

“Having already worked with Jelly on the hugely successful Jade of the Jungle, we’re delighted to be teaming up with the talented studio once again to bring players another electrifying release in Might of Zeus.”

Pragmatic Play goes treasure hunting with John Hunter and the Mayan Gods pokie release

December 23, 2020 by Admin

Following the release of its treasure map-based Da Vinci’s Treasures pokie, Pragmatic Play now transports you to the jungles of  Central America in John Hunter and the Mayan Gods.

This pokie is the fifth instalment in Pragmatic’s highly acclaimed John Hunter series. You join the game’s rugged hero on a treasure-finding quest in the Mayan jungle in this three-reel, five-row, and ten payline pokie. The stakes are high as you employ divine helpers in the shape of ancient gods who help you uncover your glittering rewards.

Your betting options range from NZ$0.01 up to NZ$100, so whether you’re a casual player or a pokie high-roller, the game has a comfortable entry point for you. John Hunter enlists a Mayan priest to guide your ascent of a pyramid where you will unlock free spins and possibly receive a reward of 2,500x your stake.

Bonus features and symbols

This adventurous pokie adopts a theme that depicts the ancient civilisations of the Aztec and Mayans. The appropriate styling has been applied to the symbols to bring this to vivid life. The low-value symbols are gold-lined card royals, and John Hunter gives off Indiana Jones vibes, sporting his trademark stubble and a weathered Fedora. The high paying symbols are represented by a gold chalice, a knife, a ring, and the Quetzalcoatl. The Mayan Priest and John Hunter represent the most valuable symbols, giving you the largest payouts for matching three or more on the reels.

A golden Mayan mask is the wild symbol that triggers the expanding wilds feature, upgrading symbols to even the odds of you landing high-value combinations. The scatter symbol is a Mayan Temple and landing 3, 4, or 5 of these activates the free spins feature as well as awarding you 2x, 20x, or 50x your stake, respectively.

The pokie’s look and feel are topped off with an action-infused soundtrack to complement its high volatility gameplay and generous RTP of 96.51%.

Kiwi punters certainly have a lot to look forward to with the revelation of this new release and Pragmatic Play is just as thrilled. The John Hunter series has enjoyed huge success with its previous incarnations, namely, Book of Tut, Tomb of the Scarab Queen, Aztec Treasure, and Da Vinci’s Treasure.

Pragmatic Play’s Chief Business Development Officer, Yossi Barzely took the chance to express that excitement in a press release, saying, “Creating this iconic iGaming series has been a very exciting journey, and we feel confident that this latest adventure will be warmly received.”

If the successes of this pokie’s prequels are anything to go by, Pragmatic should soon realise their ambitions for this fresh release.

February 21, 2020 by Admin

iGaming development studio NetEnt is globally renowned as the creators of some of the most enjoyable online pokies in the industry. When their latest title, Ocean’s Treasure made its debut, it made a significant splash in the iGaming world and garnering lots of attention. True to the studio’s form, the pokie is an absolute triumph. The game features a dynamic gameplay grid that transforms as you spin and a menacing Kraken that lurks above the reels. This pokie is definitely a must-play for fans of all types.

True to its name, Ocean’s Treasure plunges you into the depths of the lost city of Atlantis. The pokie sports 5 reels and 3 rows which are surrounded by stone sculptures and other remnants of the fabled civilization. The visuals shift and morph as you play, telling the story of descent, deeper into the mythical core of the lost citadel. The engrossing imagery is a fitting accompaniment to the rich offering of features, which include Stacked Wilds, Free Spins, and Level Multipliers.

Deeper descent

The most prominent feature of Ocean’s Treasure is undoubtedly the Level Multipliers. Other than a guaranteed way to line your pockets with treasure, it is a visual delight. A combination of 3 or more Scatter Symbols activates this feature, hurling you into Atlantis. Keep your wits about you, a beast lurks in the watery shadows.

If a Wild makes an appearance during a free spin, the game’s appearance changes as you transition to a new level. The multiplier is also enhanced, increasing with each successive level ascension.

February 9, 2020 by Admin

Evolution Gaming is a household name when it comes to live casino games.  So, their announcement of the upcoming release of 12 new games has been met with no small measure of enthusiasm from the industry and players alike. The developer is set to unveil their new releases at the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) London event, as part of the company’s 2020 official corporate strategy.

Out of all the new titles, Evolution seems most excited about Crazy Time. A company rep described the upcoming release as the “craziest, most entertaining live casino game ever developed.”

Here’s a glimpse of what to expect from Crazy Time

Evolution Gaming is adding to an already impressive catalogue of titles with this new influx and they expect a positive response from the market.

Brand new horizons

Many fans are likely anticipating new Game Show tie-ins, which are Evolution’s most popular titles; however, the company rep remained tight-lipped regarding specifics. The studio did reveal that they are aiming for significant growth in 2020 and will maintain their classic casino game focus while also making use of the latest technology to boost the appeal and functionality of their offerings.

A taste of things to come

Evolution broke their veil of secrecy to reveal a few choice titbits. The names and details of a few of their new batch of game creations were unveiled.  Mega Ball is a lottery-Bingo mashup, with the chance for players to walk away with an earth-shaking 1,000,000 times their original bet jackpot.

The first-ever Live Casino Craps is also set to emerge from the new releases. No further details regarding how exactly the dice game will play out online were made available.

Instant Roulette is another exciting title waiting in the wings and has been touted as the fastest live casino game version of this classic gambling pastime in creation.

Power Blackjack and Speed Blackjack will also feature in the mix, with the first allowing players to multiply bets on their initial two cards, and the second being a ‘speed’ version with traditional rules.

The last on the list of current disclosures is Lightning Baccarat. Everyone will have to remain in suspense for details about the as-yet unrevealed titles until their official debuts.

Jungle Jim returns in Microgaming’s latest online slot sequel developed by Stormcraft Studios

November 9, 2019 by Admin

Fans of online casino software developer extraordinaire, Microgaming, will be pleased to hear about its latest release that brings back one of its most popular characters.

Developed exclusively by Stormcraft Studios, Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx is the charismatic leader’s second epic quest for lost treasure, this time taking players to the mysterious sands of Egypt.

“We are so excited for the return of this iconic character in Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx.”

Much anticipated sequel:

Originally announced back in July, Microgaming showcased the then-upcoming video slot on a specially designed stand at iGB Live!, which took place at RAI Amsterdam.

The next chapter in the fan-favorite series takes players to Egypt, where they search for the Lost Sphinx in the 5×4 reel, 35 payline online slot that grows to 5×5 reels and 50 paylines at key junctures of the game. Matching the excitement of El Dorado, this surefire hit is packed with features including the Isle of Man-based developer‘s popular Win Booster mechanics and Rolling Reels with 10x multiplier trail.

Big-win potential:

Against a star-filled desert sky, the action opens in the base game to a 5×4 reel grid and a multiplier trail that gets a boost during free spins up to 10x displayed above the reels. Winning symbols are blasted away by Rolling Reels on each successive win, as fresh symbols drop down, which creates the opportunity for additional wins with increasing multipliers.

Once a player has achieved three back-to-back wins in the base game, the grid will expand to a 5×5 configuration that unlocks 15 extra paylines and awards a 4x multiplier. A bonus respin is additionally awarded to players on a non-winning reveal.

Bonus spins:

The action heats up when three scatter symbols appear on the reels. When that happens, players follow Jim, grappling hook in tow, as he ascends into the 5×5 reel, 50 payline chamber of the Lost Sphinx to be rewarded with the treasure of a dozen bonus spins and a multiplier trail worth up to 20x.

During the feature, players will be aided when golden Sphinx symbols appear on the center reel, helping them in their effort to reach the elusive 20x multiplier as each symbol collected awards another spin and advances the multiplier trail to the next higher level.

The frequency of bonus spins that are triggered can be significantly improved by players with activation of the Win Booster, during which it only takes two scatter symbols to gain access to the highly sought after feature.

“The team at Stormcraft are very excited to launch this long-anticipated sequel, Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx.”

Jim’s back!:

Commenting on the return of one of our favorite characters, Director of Global Operations for Microgaming, James Buchanan, said in an official press release…

“We are so excited for the return of this iconic character in Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx. Jungle Jim is ready to dig up incredible rewards with a win potential of up to 6,250x. The combination of innovative game mechanics and a graphically rich visual experience makes this latest installment of Jungle Jim a game not to miss!”

Intriguing storyline:

Terrence Igesund, Executive Producer for the South African game studio, added…

“Jungle Jim is back and ready for his next big adventure!

“The team at Stormcraft is very excited to launch this long-anticipated sequel, Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx. With decades of industry experience behind us, we set out to create a beautifully crafted and highly engaging gaming experience, loaded with innovative features and great win potential. The intriguing storyline supported by Jim’s entertaining antics should ensure that this game becomes a fan favourite!”

There’s a lot going on in Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx, which is now available exclusively to Microgaming casinos.

Stormcraft Studios:

Introduced by Microgaming in June 2018, the independent game studio, Stormcraft Studios, that supplies exclusive content to the online gaming giant is responsible for successful titles such as Dragon Shard, Agent Jane Blonde Returns, and the steampunked-themed, Fortunium, which was the innovative developer’s first official game release and was unveiled on day two of ICE Totally Gaming 2018.

New Releases from Microgaming

October 5, 2019 by Admin

Microgaming has unveiled a host of brand new releases to delight their fans:

Banana Odyssey

Microgaming roars through the final frontier of space in Banana Odyssey. This exclusive title comes out of Slingshot Studios, who also created Zombie Hoard and Cash of Kingdoms.

The game follows the journey of Buck and Chip, two astro-chimps on a space adventure for the Banana Planet’s legendary riches.  The game is a high energy, five-by-three reel, 10-payline online slot. The features include free spins, expanding wilds and respins.

Bunches of bonus features await the space-traveling enthusiast, when the wild symbol lands on one of the three middle reels and expands to fill the entire reel, triggering the cosmic respin feature. When this feature is activated, the expanded wild remains locked in place as the remaining reels respin. Any additional wild that lands present an opportunity to trigger even further respins, ramping up the chance of rewards.

Free spins are also the starts of this game. Landing three scatter symbols on reels two, three and four triggers 10 free spins with the potential for locked expanding wilds, setting up great win potential in the space race.

Aurora Wilds

Neon Valley Studios, burst onto the gaming scene with their vividly enchanting debut title, produced exclusively for Microgaming.

Aurora Wilds is a five-reel, ten-payline online slot, themed around the magical Pacific Northwest. The game features expanding wilds, respins, bi-directional paylines, and the Jackpot Wheel. Players are gently immersed in the shimmering visuals of the Northern lights which serve as a backdrop

Totem animals jig wildly along the reels as gleaming wild symbols emerge on reels two, three and four. When the wild symbol lands, it expands to fill the entire reel, locking into place and awarding a free respin. A total of three successive respins can be triggered as additional wilds land during the feature.

A gentle, lilting soundtrack matches the game’s visuals perfectly, only changing when three scatter symbols land to trigger the Jackpot Wheel, which guarantees one of four jackpot prizes, awarding up to 2,000x the player’s bet

Tweet Hearts

This slot is themed around nesting love birds and their lush, tropical jungle home. This finely feathered five-reel, 17-payline slot boasts a variety of features, including the Double Lucky Line, Random Wilds, free spins and three different types of wild symbols.

Players joining the journey of the parrot pair will discover the Double Lucky Line, throughout the game, on the middle row across all five reels. When double symbols land on the Double Lucky Line, they are counted as two symbols for any winning combinations or free spin symbols.

The Random Wild feature, present throughout the base game, triggers two to six symbol positions to turn into wild symbols before the spin stops, transforming the reels into a wild zone.

Free spins are triggered when five or more free spin symbols land, immediately awarding 10 free spins. For each additional free spin symbol, an extra spin is awarded, up to a maximum of 25 spins in total.

During the free spins round, Lucky Wilds unlock extra double positions throughout the reels and award additional free spins. These transform into a double position for the duration of the free spins feature, increasing the potential to hatch amazing rewards.

Players ready to spread their wings and soar to new heights of winnings are bound to fall in love with Tweethearts.

Book of Oz: Lock ‘N Spin

This five-reel, ten-payline, high-volatility online slot opens up a brand new chapter in the acclaimed Book of Oz series. All of the magical wonder of the original breakout game, released in December last year, returns to conjure up brand new ways to win. The spellbinding Hyperspins™ Lock ‘N Spin and 2nd Chance features await to thrill both mobile and desktop players.

The Hyperspins™ Lock ‘N Spin feature within the base game, allows players to lock up to four reels and then respin in an attempt to complete massive wins or trigger the Free Spins feature. Locking reels offer players the chance to achieve near wins or reap the benefits of five Book Scatter symbols, giving rise to potentially spellbinding rewards.

The Book symbol doubles as both a wild and scatter. Finding three, four or five Book symbols triggers the Free Spins feature, rewarding 10, 12 or 25 free spins respectively. The Book of Oz blesses players with a special symbol that will expand on the reels during free spins and unlock astounding win potential.

The new 2nd Chance feature emerges during free spins and gives players a choice between choosing to keep the original symbol or reshuffle for a chance to upgrade their special expanding symbol. As the special symbol expands and illuminates on each reel, win potential grows up to 5,000 times the initial bet. Landing three or more Book symbols within the free spins feature will grant further free spins.

Boom Pirates

Captain Mary and her motley pirate crew feature as brilliantly drawn and animated characters in this seafaring adventure. This slot boasts a treasure-trove of gems for players to discover, including the all-new Wonderways™ and Foxify™ features.

The Wonderways feature, unleashes cannon fire to transform the five-by-four reel grid into an astonishing nine-by-six reels, offering over 10 million ways to win.

When activated, Foxify gives players the chance  to increase their chances of triggering the game’s three treasured features; raising the initial wager by 50%  and triggering a grid explosion.

Captain Mary periodically swings by during the game, turning non-winning spins into a five-of-a-kind winning combination.

When the captain gets the crew in the mood to sing sea-shanties, YO-HO-HO scatter symbols land on reels one, three and five. Finding all three symbols will activate free spins launching a special treasure hunt. When the Boom Pirates cannon is fired, activated Wonderways remain open for the duration of the free spins. This combined with the fact that any three scatters landing offer an additional five free spins, provides the potential for tantalizing rewards.

Players may also purchase free spins for the pirates’ price of 100x the initial bet. This buy-in feature allows players to access free spins at any point throughout the game.​
