The Isle of Man’s Microgaming have been titans in the online casino market since the early 90s, in fact they are widely recognised to have launched the world’s first proper online casino software in 1994. With that level of pedigree and experience it comes as no surprise that Micogaming slots are some of the most widely played in the world.
The unrivalled playabliity and thematic content in all Microgaming online slots is one definite reason for their success, but on par with this is the developer’s huge progressive jackpot network. It has paid out over a billion euros to date, with one lucky punter winning a Guinness World Record jackpot of €17,879,645.12 from a 25p spin. You can find more info here about the specific game he played to win this huge amount, it’s called Mega Moolah Ludicrous stuff. Let’s take a look at some of the best new slots from Microgaming.
Shogun Of Time
Online slots don’t get too much more wacky than the bonkers title Shogun Of Time. The only way to describe it really is cyberpunk meets feudal Samurai era Japan – the action revolves around a cyberpunk clone that meets a Japanese samurai… must we say much else? It certainly is a strange synthesis, but after a few spins on the reels you have to admit it really works much better than anybody would have thought.
The graphics on Shogun Of Time are halfway between the traditional outlook of Japan, and a hugely modernised version of its capital city Tokyo. Microgaming have opted for a 4×3 reel format here with 81 ways to win, however this all changes once you delve deeper into the game’s many bonus rounds and features. With a fairly impressive RTP of 96.02% this slot is bound to be a 2019 smash hit.
Ancient Fortunes: Zeus
The image of the Ancient Greek god Zeus will forever be etched into the public consciousness, especially after films like Hercules and many other superhero films that use his image as an influence. Zeus may just be one of the most powerful gods in any kind of religion, so it makes ample sense to properly immortalise him in the shape of a good old online slot title.
Released in April 2019, Ancient Fortunes: Zeus is a medium variance slot with a quite comfortable 96.02% RTP. The action unfolds across a typical 5×3 reel format with a relatively small 5 pay lines – this does not have to be a bad thing though, if anything it can make it easier to derive a winning strategy. A maximum 70,000 coins ensures that this new slot from Microgaming is sure to do well.
Agent Jane Blonde Returns
The original Agent Jane Blonde slot game was an absolute smash hit more than a decade ago, and Microgaming have done the clever thing and finally made a remake that threatens the initial title in the series for fun. All the bonus rounds and features from the initial iteration are there, but this time there are some incredible new things to get excited about. Not one a title to sleep on in 2019.
