Two new slots games are scheduled to go live at Microgaming online casinos from February 8. These include online gambling sites given a 5 star rating by TopCasinos, like 32 Red Casino, All Slots Casino, Platinum Play Casino and River Belle Casino.

One of the new slot games, titled Atomic 8s, is a sequel to Sonic 7s released last year. The defining feature is an innovation called Power Spins. The player can activate this feature if he so desires. Then all paylines are automatically enabled and an additional wager of three times the line bet is taken from the player. In return the symbols on the reels will pay out aligned left to right and also aligned right to left.

The symbols in Atomic 8s are taken from the classic three reel slots. They include cherries, bars and bells. However the 7s of Sonic 7s are replaced by 8s. The Atomic logo is the wild symbol. Five Atomic logo symbols appearing on an active payline offer a payout of 8,000 coins. The Radioactive symbol is the scatter symbol. Five Radioactive symbols appearing anywhere on the reels offer a scatter payout of 300 coins. This payout is multiplied by the total bet. Atomic 8s is a simple 9 paylines video slot game without any free spins or bonus games. But like Sonic 7s it will have a space of its own.

Microgaming has done a balancing act, because the other online slot game is the exact opposite. Titled Great Griffin it has a theme of medieval magic. The visuals are superb and the reels are set in a sorcerer’s castle. The symbols on the reels include magic crystals, spell books, potion flasks and mysterious plants. One of the special symbols is the legendary griffin with the body of a lion and the head of the eagle. The griffin is the wild symbol. In an innovative feature Microgaming has the griffin flying across the reels turning other symbols into wild symbols that double the payouts.

The hooded lady is the other special symbol. When the symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 the Pick Me Bonus is activated. The player picks one of the symbols to win a bonus amount, a pick again or a win all. When the hooded lady symbol appears on reels 3, 4 and 5, the free spins are activated. Three options are given to the player from which he must pick one. These options are 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier, 10 free spins at a 5x multiplier and 5 free spins at a 10x multiplier. Another highlight of Great Griffin online slot is that it has 50 paylines.
