New Power Spin Feature at Microgaming

Microgaming has come up with yet another exciting idea to offer its online slots fans. The new feature will be released, along with the slot game Sonic 7s on June 9th, 2011.

The new feature is called Power Spins, and although players need to place an extra wager in order to enable this new feature, it does come with some exciting benefits.

In order to make use of the Power Spins feature, players need to make sure that all their regular paylines are activated. The additional wager that must be placed for the Power Spins feature is equivalent to 3x the line bet.

The following example simply describes how the wagering for the new Microgaming Power Spins feature works. If a player is wagering £1 per payline, the amount paid for each spin in which all the paylines are activated is £9. Adding in the Power Spin feature will cost an additional one third of the wager, which means adding another £3 to the £9 wager. The total cost of the spin will now be £12.

When using the Power Spins feature, winnings are doubled when players get a wild symbol. If there is more than one wild symbol when using a Power Spin, the winnings from more than one wild will be added to each other if they appear in the same lucky win. This means that two wilds at the same time would mean a win that is multiplied by four, rather than only 2x had there been only one wild symbol. No matter how many wilds appear, players cannot win more than 8x when this feature is activated. Without this new slots feature enabled, the slot itself is certainly not one of Microgaming's most exciting slot games.

Sonic 7s is a 5 reel and 9 payline slot game. It features both the exciting new Power Spins feature and wild symbols. Although there is the new Power Spins feature, there are no free spins, and there is no bonus game, Time will tell if this slot game is a hit at Microgaming powered online casinos, because players have become used to the excitement and fun of features such as free spins, and interactive bonus games.

Microgaming always strives to offer new and exciting features to their online slot players. The online casino software company has made the decision that rather than releasing about four game releases each month, as it used to, that it will rather release slots with new and exciting features less often. This will translate into about four new game releases per quarter, rather than each month.
