The leading online casino software developer, Microgaming has announced two new games to see the light of day this March. The first one is an unexpected quirk of the all times favorite Texas Hold ’em poker, while the second game is a video slot with the taste and aroma of a freshly brewed cappuccino.
There have been endless variations of the Texas Hold ’em poker theme in the online casinos. Now there will be one more among the immensely popular Gold Series games. It is called Triple Action Hold’em Bonus Poker, and like all of table games from the Gold Series it features realistic up-to-date graphics. What is special about it is that all the cards from Twos to Sevens were removed from the deck. Out of the regular 52 poker cards only 28 remain, starting with Eights and up. The player has to gather a higher hand than the dealer, while using a score of different betting options.
The other new game that will be available to play in all the Microgaming-powered online casinos this March is called CashOccino. It is best enjoyed with a cup of refreshing hot coffee, and all the cappuccino-fanciers will be delighted at the soft brown coffee shades of the main screen and milk-white background of the reels, hinting at the whipped cream taste. This 5 reel 30 payline video slot features famous coffee brands, such as Mocha, Espresso and Latte among its winning symbols, which also include high value card symbols. A shiny red button with a cup of cappuccino acts as the wild. The same symbol is used for the scatter, when drawn on a primer cap of a golden cartridge.
There are two things that distinguish this video slot from the others, apart from its unprecedented design, of course. The first one is the Extra Bet feature. The player may choose to increase all his bets by 50%. This will not only increase the payout of all the wins, but also unlock some major advantages. When three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the screen, the free spins feature is triggered. It normally gives 15 free spins, during which all the payouts are tripled, but if the player opts to hit the Extra Bet button instead of the Spin, before triggering this feature, he will get 30 free spins instead of 15. Besides that, even two scatter symbols on the reels will give him a free spin. And the second important difference of CashOccino from other video slots is its remarkably high fixed jackpots that range from 1000 to 10,000 coins. If the player is lucky enough to get 5 wild symbols in a row, he will receive the highest jackpot prize available, which might give him as much as $10,000 of casino credits if he bets with the maximum coin denomination value of $0.05 and wagers 20 coins on each line.
