Microgaming announce new slot releases

Provider Microgaming is to launch two new online slots next month.

Football Star is a five-reel, 243 ways-to-win game themed, as its name suggests, around the world’s most popular sport.

The slot, which offers up to 25 free spins with a 10x multiplier, boasts familiar features such as Rolling Reels and Stacked Wilds, available in both the base game and free spins round, alongside a new feature, Striking Wild, which occurs randomly in the base game to strike an entire reel wild.

Cool Wolf is a five-reel, 243 ways-to-win game with a light-hearted, retro theme featuring a shiny pink Cadillac, smiling hero and set of cheerleaders.

Wilds, free spins and Rolling Reels are all on offer, while the game’s maximum jackpot is £105,000.

Both Football Star and Cool Wolf go live on Microgaming’s Flash, download, HTML5 and Quickfire platforms simultaneously on 8 May, five weeks before the start of the World Cup.

Microgaming head of casino Mike Hebden said: “We know it’s important to offer timely and relevant games to our operators’ players and that’s why we’re releasing Football Star in May.

“This game adds to our collection of football-themed games such as Shoot! and Soccer Safari, which we know will be popular over the next few months.”
