Sometimes online casinos run promotions on the earliest online slots that have been very popular in the past and still draw traffic from an older generation of players. Every games supplier has such video slots in its portfolio. Here is a look at the best golden oldie online slots from Microgaming. These are still live at online casinos like Lucky Nugget, Jackpot City and All Slots.

Thunderstruck was one of the earliest video with the Norse mythology theme. The awesome graphics and animations put it way ahead of its time. Thor, the god of thunder is the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property. It also awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins, which imparts high variance to the slot machine. The other high paying symbols are Thor’s hammer, staff, horn and castle and thunder. The pair of Thor’s pet rams is the scatter symbol that awards payouts multiplied by the total bet. The symbol also triggers 15 free spins in which all payouts are tripled. The feature can be retriggered. Thunderstruck also includes the Microgaming gamble game.

The legend of King Arthur is one of the most popular from Britain. Avalon, the magical and mystical isle in the legend, is the subject of another of the Microgaming golden oldies. King Arthur is personally absent from the slot game, but the high symbols are royal paraphernalia and the low symbols are regally crafted playing card icons. Avalon is the wild symbol and also awards the highest line payouts. The Lady of the Lake played an important role in the Arthurian legend. She awards the scatter payouts and triggers the free spins feature. You will be awarded 12 free spins with an up to 7x multiplier. The treasure chest becomes the second wild symbol in the feature.

Tomb Raider was the first branded online slot. It was based on the Lara Croft video games. The game logo is the wild symbol and awards the highest line payouts. The other high symbols are plan of the tomb, Lara Croft and tiger. Another Lara Croft symbol awards payouts multiplied by the total bet and triggers 10 free spins in which all payouts are tripled. The free spins can be retriggered. The idol activates a bonus game on the second screen. You have to pick idols to win bonus credits. These are randomly determined from within a slab that depends on the number of bonus symbols in the trigger.

Microgaming later released sequels on all three slots, but these could not surpass the popularity of the originals.
