Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, is proud to announce the launch of its 400th innovative new casino download game, ‘The Great Galaxy Grab’.

This flagship release demonstrates Microgaming’s pioneering dedication to delivering exceptional quality games that offer unrivalled graphics and player functionality in this remarkable and entertaining, rich-featured true video iSlot.

The Great Galaxy Grab features a host of enchanting characters presented in ultra-modern, CGI-style 3D graphics including the love struck Captain Bronzebeard and his robotic crew, who set off around the galaxy in search of Bronzebeard’s beautiful but scheming wife Scarlett and the precious heart she has stolen from his ship, the Galactic Galleon.

Players are invited across a tantalizing trek through the galaxy with each level offering a completely different and exciting gaming experience. The game’s cutting-edge technology means it remembers the player’s last location so that they may return to their position, if they have stopped playing the game and want to come back to it another time.

The Great Galaxy Grab background also changes inside the base game which evolves as the player progresses from one thrilling location to the next – helping to create a truly ‘out of this world’ player experience.

Interspersed with the unique trail of six different and diversely rewarding bonuses, players are offered numerous opportunities to claim up to ten Free Spins at a time, each with 3x multipliers and presenting an unsurpassed interactive player experience.

Microgaming has been the industry leader in innovative gaming solutions for over a decade. Recognised globally for its dedication to providing cutting edge, high-quality games and unique player experiences; the launch of its 400th game signals a momentous achievement for the esteemed company.

The release also demonstrates Microgaming’s ability to create its own market-leading brands, rather than relying on existing branded content for every game release, as many of its competitors do. This ensures that Microgaming drives the best possible payout and value for players.

Roger Raatgever, Microgaming CEO, says: “Microgaming strives to continuously deliver fresh innovative games, entertainment, excitement and big wins for players. Our 400th downloadable casino release ‘The Great Galaxy Grab’ has all of this and more. The advanced 3D graphics and captivating storyline demonstrate our ability to lead the industry into the future of innovative online gaming”.

With spring in sight, this month’s game releases from Microgaming set the pace with four fantastically-fun video slots offering entertainment and the opportunity to win big, as well as an innovative new poker addition to Microgaming’s prestigious Gold Series of table games.

Get into the swing with THE RAT PACK

THE RAT PACK is a new 5 reel, 30 pay-line video slot that includes a cool, swinging musical soundtrack, adding to the reward opportunities of a game packed with two Wilds, a free spin-generating Scatter and a new nudge-down feature.

The theme tips an era when ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ and the gang captivated show goers in Vegas. Featuring cartoon rat entertainers led by a swinging singer, these performers party the night away as they revel in the limelight.

The Rat Pack features not one, but two Wild symbols to help players build winning combinations and multiply winnings. Look for the 2x icon that doubles the win when substituting, and the unmistakable Rat Pack logo which adds to the reward opportunities.

Scatters, identified by a Gold Record symbol, are the key to the Free Spin feature, accessed when 3, 4 or 5 of the Gold Records appear and are held on the reels. This aspect of the game has a new nudge feature where the icon nudges down one position on the reel, presenting additional possibilities.

The game has a wide betting range that will suit all pockets, with a maximum bet of 75.00 capable of delivering 31 495.00 in the base game and a further 7 500.00 on Free Spins. The popular Gamble feature worth up to 10 000.00 is available to gamblers who take their chances at predicting colour and suit.

Going for gold in TRIPLE POCKET HOLD’EM POKER

This innovative poker offering pits the player against two dealers and delivers the chance to win up to 50 times the bet. This quality table game gives hours of absorbing and potentially rewarding poker action, which’s why it’s been branded TRIPLE POCKET HOLD POKER.

The new game joins some of the fantastic casino action available on the Internet today in Microgaming’s prestigious Gold Series of table games.

The goal of the player is to beat two dealers in the single deck, 52 card game which features advanced graphics and sound effects appropriate to a sophisticated offering of this quality. The player has the option to select which pocket cards they prefer, with the discarded set being awarded to the dealer. With two opportunities to discard, the player is forced to Hold and play the third and final set. When the right cards are held, there’s a possible 50:1 maximum payout on the ante bet.

With a wide betting range from 1.00 to 200.00, this new card game is enormous fun to play, easy to learn and will appeal to casino card and poker players alike.

Time to wax off that surfboard for BEACH BABES

The beach beckons in Microgaming’s new 5 reel, 25 pay-line slot BEACH BABES – a uniquely set-up slot where the accent is on Free Spins that keep giving…and giving…. through a triggering mechanism that remains active throughout every Free Spins cycle.

This is a game where players can win up to 30 free spins, boosted by a 6x Multiplier and accessed through a combination of Wild and Scatter rewards, all topped off by a double or quadruple your money Gamble feature worth 10 000.00 for those lucky enough to correctly predict colour and suit.

Surfing, snorkeling and beach-balling their way through the colorful theme graphics are a selection of stunning bikini-clad babes, but don’t look for the usual second screen bonuses in this game; in a startling departure from conventional game design, and in response to player demand, the action here is all about Free Spins…and spins-within-spins, all accompanied by a significant Multiplier. The pay-lines pay left to right, and 3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger a generous Free Spins bonus that can be as high as 30 Free spins.

Slot-surfers can bet anywhere from 0.01 to 0.25 cents with possible returns on a maximum bet of 62.50 of 25 000.00 in the base game, with another 150 000.00 achievable on Free Spins action.

Boxing clever in FIGHTING FISH

Fresh from the depths of the ocean where the fishy fisticuffs take place, FIGHTING FISH debuts with a heady mix of Re-Spins, Multipliers, Wilds, Scatters and a Gamble feature to provide thoroughly entertaining ringside slot play.

This 5 reel, 30 pay-line video slot carries an amusing undersea boxing theme illustrated by cartoon graphics of the Red and Blue piscatorial contenders for the Deep Sea Championship belt and their crustacean support teams, giving players a chance to double wins by betting on the victor, in addition to plenty of slot action.

The Blue and Red boxing fish are Wild in the game, and when they appear on reels 2 and 4, three free re-spins are awarded. The anemone-cornered boxing ring represents Scatter opportunities.
Providing players with a chance to double or even quadruple their winnings by choosing the right color and suit is the popular Gamble feature, which can add up to 10 000.00 to the player’s stash when the right choice is made.

Fighting Fish offers achievable wins totaling over 100 000.00 on a maximum bet of 75.00.

Roll out the red carpet for KINGS AND QUEENS

Making a right royal debut this month is the latest 5 reel, 20 pay-line multi-featured video slot KINGS AND QUEENS.

Royalty is the theme for this sumptuously illustrated game which offers dual-opportunity Wilds, Scatters delivering up to 10 Free Spins with as high as 8x Multipliers and a color-and-suit choice Gamble feature that can quadruple a player’s wins up to a maximum of 10 000.00.

To get to the Free Spin action and the big money, players need to see 3, 4 or 5 Royal Shield symbols across the reels, opening up the Free Spins feature and bringing into play the additional Wild function of the Treasure Chest and Kings and Queens’s icons, which enables the player to build better combinations during the Free Spins.

The Kings and Queens logo is the main Wild in this absorbing video slot, substituting for everything except the Scatter Shield to generate rewards throughout the game.
For those players who like to extend the thrill of wagering, there’s a Gamble feature that presents a chance to double or quadruple winnings up to 10 000.00 depending on whether the player can correctly predict the colour and suit of random Gamble cards.

Maximum bet on this game is 25.00, which enables the player to shoot for the top jackpot totalling almost 80 000.00.

One member at the Craps Online Casino placed a 25c bet and walked away with winnings totalling $119,593 from the popular Queen of Pyramids slot machine.

Just as the online casino is getting ready to honour its second birthday, another member at Craps Casino has a good reason to celebrate with the Casino at its party – she won astounding $119,593 on one spin of the reels. What makes this win even more unbelievable is that only 25c was the line bet placed on the winning reels.

Marie-Claire P. of Canada won the jackpot after just 20 minutes of playing online. The teacher, who currently resides in Quebec, only wagered the minimum line bet on the Queen of Pyramids progressive slot machine.

In a winning interview with Marie Claire, she stated that “I had a premonition a few days before telling me that I was going to win big and so I knew I had to play. When I saw my winnings I was in shock. I screamed, but I was very happy. I think I will spend my winnings on a holiday to Tahiti and maybe some home renovations”.

Marie Claire went on to say, “My favourite online casino is Craps Casino, the games have amazing graphics, the Support staff are excellent and the over all feel of the casino is a reliable one. I feel that this is one online casino you can definitely trust. My advice to other Craps Casino members would be to play according to what you can afford and play for the enjoyment of the games”.

In a twist of fate, only a few days prior to her big win, Marie-Claire forgot her casino client password and decided to immediately contact the 24/7 support team of Craps Casino to have it re-sent to her. “It was lucky that she contacted our team so quickly,” stated casino manager, Jean Russell, “If she had waited until a later date, the jackpot may not have been hers!”
