Right on the heels of the branded slot game release, Hellboy, Microgaming has now released another two slot games. The two new slot releases are Arctic Fortune and Robot Butler.

Arctic Fortune is set in wintry, frozen, Arctic conditions. It is an adventure through the wilderness where players can search for untold riches. The slot game features icy landscapes, fierce warriors, wolves, and filled to the brim treasure chests that can be found in some rather sinister looking places.

This slot game is a 5 reel slot which has no specific paylines. Players will, instead, win by combinations of multipliers, free spins, and second screen bonuses. The second screen bonus game is triggered when a player sees three, four, or five treasure maps on the reels. Players can win up to a maximum of 40 re-triggering free spins in the second screen bonus round. It also comes with various different multipliers that can multiply winnings up to six times. It is worth keeping an eye out for the Arctic Fortune Shield, which acts as the wild in this game, since this icon helps players to build wins when it is located on either the second or the fourth reels.

Robot Butler, is fairly different from Arctic Fortune. This slot game is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slot game, with Robbie the Robot Butler as the main attraction.

When the robot icon is seen on both reel one and reel five at the same time, players get a chance to enjoy the Robot Butler bonus feature that will have been triggered by the robots. For the bonus game, the player will choose an item, which the robot needs to find. Depending on the success of the Robot Butler, players will receive their rewards. The Robot Butler bonus feature also offers free spins, which include the possibility of re-triggering free spins, which come with mystery multipliers. Players will know they have won these free spins when they see three butler’s tray icons appearing on the reels.

In order to make Robot Butler even more attractive to players, they will be able to enjoy the much loved gamble feature. The gamble feature lets players either double or quadruple their winnings if they can predict correctly the color and suit of the next card that will appear.

Many online gaming software providers have been releasing new games at this time. The push by online casino software companies to release new games at this time is not only because we have just entered 2010, but because the IGE-ICEi shows will be happening in London later this month. The IGE (International Gaming Expo) and ICEi (International Casino Exhibition Interactive) will be taking place at Earls Court - London from 26th to 28th January 2010.
