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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.​
