Microgaming Announces Two New May Releases

Added: April 25, 2014

When it comes to new game releases, Microgaming has really been on the ball so far this year. They have had a number of new games with a focus on three specific categories. The first category is big new titles that follow in the footsteps of their previous classics. The second category has been mobile games that give players a chance to take awesome new titles on the go. The third category has been slots designed specifically for casino tournaments. Many of these games have been released on multiple software platforms, and the new releases for the month of May are no exception.

First up is the Football Star video slot which is designed to be a game that football (soccer) fans want to take advantage of. Microgaming is known for their pokies, and that's the theme here as they come out with new ones for the upcoming month. Football Star uses the 243-ways format that Microgaming has been favoring a lot lately. Something that's pretty amazing is that you can get a 10x multiplier in the free spins bonus round that gives you 25 chances at free prizes. This is a huge value in addition to the stacked wilds and rolling reels feature.

Cool Wolf is the next game up, and it also uses the 243-ways format. It also uses wilds, rolling reels and a free spins bonus feature. This game has a hilarious theme with a cartoonish wolf who likes to roll up in his pink Cadillac with cheerleaders in tow. Like Football Star, this game releases on May 8 on the Flash-based and downloadable platforms. Football Star, however, will also be released on the HTML5 platform that Microgaming has been focusing on a lot over the past 12 months or so.

Microgaming Head of Casino Mike Hebden released a statement that said, "We know it's important to offer timely and relevant games to our operators' players and that's why we're releasing Football Star in May. This game adds to our collection of football-themed games such as Shoot! and Soccer Safari, which we know will be popular over the next few months. To celebrate the release of Football Star to our operators, we're launching a brilliant promotion whereby operators on our network can give their players the opportunity to win a real-life Football Star experience, in Rio, in July! For us, it's not just about delivering a game; it's about delivering the ultimate experience."
