New Branded Pokies from Microgaming Coming Soon

February 13, 2014

Australian players will soon be able to log in to their favourite Microgaming casino and they should be able to find a variety of new ‘branded’ pokies, all of which are scheduled to arrive at around the same time in the summer of 2014.

In January and February 2014, Microgaming announced on several different occasions that it had obtained licensing agreements with Studiocanal S.V, Universal Partnerships & Licensing and HBO Global Licensing to develop a Terminator 2 themed pokie, three Jurassic Park themed pokies and a Game of Thrones themed pokie.

All of these new slots will have 5 reels and 243 ways to win per spin and they will most likely end up on Microgaming’s flash, download and Quickfire platforms. You should also be able to experience these new pokies in the real cash mode and in the free play mode. Speaking about these new games in Jan/Feb was the Microgaming CEO, Roger Raatgever;

“We are incredibly excited to be developing an online slot around the Terminator 2 movie – it is a brand which has mass appeal and lends itself perfectly to the world of online gaming.” He continued, “As explosive as the film, we are in the process of creating an action-packed, jaw-dropping slot; it's a classic in the making!"

The president of Creative Licensing Corporation (which represents Studiocanal for Terminator 2 licensing), Rand Marlis, said, “Microgaming has vast experience in licensing brands and we have every confidence that the Terminator 2 online slot will be a massive success. Working with Microgaming is a real pleasure and we look forward to a long-lasting and successful relationship.”

These words came directly from the Microgaming website, and from a press release dated January 20th, 2014. One week later (Jan 27), and while speaking about the new Jurassic Park pokies, Microgaming’s CEO said, “Jurassic Park is a seminal movie - its stunning visual effects and computer-generated imagery set a new benchmark in the industry.

It's a film that we can draw parallels from in terms of our game creation and our aim to deliver the most visionary and imaginative gaming experiences to the end player. The Jurassic Park brand is legendary, and our game development team is busy creating an all-mighty slot for release later in the year.”

Most of these new branded pokies were actually previewed at this year’s ICE Totally Gaming event which took place in London, England, at the ExCel centre between 4th - 6th February.

These currently unreleased pokies will all have entertaining bonus rounds with captivating graphics for players to enjoy, together with impressive sound effects and smooth player controls. Each slot will have Scatter Symbols and Wild Symbols to look out for and they will also all have Free Spins Bonus Rounds to win big prizes from.

As soon as any images/screenshots become available, or any information in general about either of these new pokies becomes available, we will let you know straight away so keep checking back with us on a regular basis.
