Microgaming Releases Two New Games in March 2010

Released: March 22, 2010

Microgaming has done something in March 2010 that they have not done for years. They have only released one new slot machine into circulation at their online casinos and in total they have only brought two new games to bear. Why this is nobody has been able to determine as of yet, but doubtless Microgaming does have their reasons for the dip in release amounts for this particular month.

Although the number of new releases is down, the quality of excellence that has come to be expected from this online casino company has not changed at all. The new slot machine is called Cashoccino and it is a slot machine that follows a coffee theme (i.e. cappuccino).

By the numbers, Cashoccino is an online video slot machine that will be available at many of the Microgaming online casinos. It comes with five reels and thirty pay lines as well as a maximum jackpot of 10,000 coins that results from a maximum wager of 600 coins in total because 20 coins per line must be wagered.

Of course, this is relatively normal for a Microgaming slot machine. Where the real strength of this slot machine comes from is of course the totally unique theme that it has. The coffee theme is an interesting one with symbols for café latte, espresso, mocha and many other famous coffee types. The card rankings from 9 through Ace are rendered in different coffee shades and even the scatter symbol actually contains the word on it but that word surrounds a rendering of a coffee cup. If you are a java lover, you will definitely appreciate the Microgaming release for this month.

In addition to the video slot machine, Microgaming has also brought Triple Action Hold ‘Em Bonus Poker to their Gold Series of online casino table games. This game, played with just a 28-card deck, has no cards in it below the rank of eight. It contains a number of exotic bets that can be made in addition to the game against the dealer and there is no doubt that this game will intrigue strategy and statistical buffs for some time to come.
