Realtime Gaming Launches New Slot Game
A brand new video slot game has been launched by the casino software giant, Real Time Gaming. The five reel Polar Explorer video slot game is a reminder that summer won’t be around forever, and takes players through an icy adventure where wild animals live in freezing temperatures.
Realtime Gaming’s Polar Explorer video slot game boasts a number of exciting features, not least of all the snowflake symbol which triggers one of three winning features. Players will be led to the Hidden Treasure bonus game which takes place in an icy cave. Here, they’ll be offered extra free wilds. The Explorer feature, on the other hand, awards players with five extra free games and when this happens, reels number four and five consist only of wild symbols – for extra winning potential. The other bonus feature is the Discovery Feature, where players are awarded 8 free spins where they’ll be able to benefit from at least one wild and grouped wilds on the reels.
In addition, the arctic themed Polar Explorer video slot offers a Feature Guarantee system in the game, which guarantees that 125 paid spins will be triggered should it not be won randomly. All in all, this new RTG slot game promises plenty of entertainment, not to mention unbeatable rewards for online casino gamblers.
Virgin Games Creates Exclusive New Slot Game
Virgin Games, through its online casino site Virgin Casino, has announced that it will be launching an exclusive new slot game in honor of the creator of the Virgin brand, Richard Branson. The game, Necker Island, is named for Branson’s luxury island which is located in the British Virgin Islands. The massive fifty pay line Necker Island slot has an extra row of symbols for even more ways to win. It will be created by Genesis Gaming and launched on Microgaming’s flash QuickFire platform at Virgin Casino.
“We wanted to create a game exclusively for our Virgin Games players – something that only we could offer and that truly summed up being part of the Virgin community. As such, we thought it would be ideally fitting to have a game created by Genesis Gaming that was themed around Sir Richard Branson’s luxurious private island,” said Warren Eloff for Virgin Games. “As an operator, offering our customers seamless game play is crucial, and as a Virgin company maintaining brand integrity is a must. Using Microgaming’s QuickFire platform has delivered on both counts - offering both easy integration and allowing us to give our players a unique Virgin Games experience.”
