Microgaming Studios Release New online Slots

Added: November 26, 2018

The Microgaming independent studios are churning out new games with clockwork regularity. Microgaming has created a group of such studios and therefore is able to provide a variety of new games every month. The latest video slots to go live are Crystal Rift from Rabcat Gaming and Astro Legends from Foxium. These new video slots are live at all Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Royal Vegas and Spin Palace and can be played from desktops and mobile devices.

Crystal Rift has the standard 5 reels and 3 rows structure with 25 fixed paylines. The symbols are crystals of different shapes and colours. This works well on the smaller screens of smartphones as well. The white crystal is the wild symbol. After the payouts are made in a spin, the symbols in winning combinations are replaced by new ones. This is called Bonus Falls. If new winning combinations are formed then the process repeats. The Bonus Falls continue till there are no new wins. At the start of a Bonus Fall a randomly chosen Wild Grid pattern will be shown on the reels. If you achieve three consecutive Bonus Falls each symbol in the wild grid space become a wild symbol and will be held fixed for the remaining Bonus Falls. There are four levels of grids with different payout potentials.

Astro Legends, on the other hand, has a unique structure and a unique bonus feature. The symbols are laid out in a gem-shaped reel consisting of 22 cells. Payouts are awarded for clusters of five or more like symbols. The high paying symbols are gem stones and the low paying symbols are the usual playing card icons. The Astro Legends are Lyra and Erion. Lyra is a shape shifter that plays the synthesiser. Erion is some kind of menacing genie. Both of them take part in the innovative gaming features. In the randomly triggered Sonic Respin feature, the winning clusters are held and the other cells spin again. If the existing clusters are enlarged or new clusters formed then the process repeats. Multiplier Wild symbols can enhance payouts between 2x and 5x. The Lyra Spirit feature is triggered by collecting stars. Lyra takes her wolf form. You have to choose from three different lanes and the wolf has to sprint for freedom. You gathering gems along the way collecting bonuses. Erion has to hit the wolf, but she has three lives. If you complete the run for freedom then a 20x multiplier is applied to the total bet.
