December sees two new slots released by Microgaming, the slots developer that really doesn’t rest on it’s laurels. In addition to the recent Highlander game, the prolific company has released Holly Jolly Penguins and Wacky Panda, which will be available on various bingo and slots sites that use Microgaming titles.
Holly Jolly Penguins is very much a festive slot, themed around Christmas and the arctic. The game is a five-reel slot with 45 paylines, which are fixed. The game follows a cast of nine penguins which each have their own personality. A big draw to this game is the stacked wilds that feature two of the penguins, Lorenzo and Quincy. This is definitely a route to bigger wins.
The Sledding Penguins scatter is also fun, having a special scatter pay for three or more on the reels, plus they can trigger free spins. This is a game mode to watch out for, as it can retrigger up to a total of 80 free spins! This is sure to spin up some festive fun. The game has a light-hearted soundtrack and feels like a holiday slot without being too on-the-nose about Christmas, so it should appeal to players who want something new.
The other new title is called Wacky Panda, which is perhaps a good choice for those who are already sick of Christmas! This game is much more colourful and exotic, so it may help you to warm up a bit. This is a classic 3-reel game with just one payline, so it’s simple and casual, but still very fun and a good choice for slots newbies. Players can choose a coin size up to 3 coins, with wins of 3333 times the bet.
The game’s cast is five pandas, again with personalities and a cute Asian art style. The pandas are well animated so don’t think that 3-reels means an old-fashioned game. This is a great slot for a quick, relaxing flutter, without having to go too old-school.
David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, said: “December is decked out with two more game additions from Microgaming, on top of our latest branded title, Highlander online slot. Holly Jolly Penguins is perfect for the festive season and features a cast of penguins ready to spread the cheer with scatter pays and retriggerable free spins. Meanwhile, Wacky Panda is fun, fast-paced and has a flexible bet selection that adds a modern twist to the classic three-reel setup.
“2017 has been a very busy year for Microgaming with a wealth of new games released, including blockbuster branded titles from the action-packed Jurassic World™ and Highlander™ online slots, to the thrilling and the theatrical, The Phantom of the Opera™ and Halloween® online slots. Not forgetting the launch of EmotiCoins earlier this year, a slot born from an idea pitched by staff at Microgaming’s very own innovation initiative.
“We are very excited to showcase new content as we go into 2018, so watch this space as Microgaming will be revealing another wave of exciting releases and announcements to shake up the New Year.”
