Microgaming Launches MegaSpin Slots

It is quite common to see players in land-based casinos playing more than one game at a time. While this can be a way of simply losing faster it is also not such a bad strategy as casinos will often put a machine with a high pay out percentage next to a machine with a low one. By playing two you might be able to even things out and at least get one of the games to hit.

Up until now you could only ever play one slot at a time at online casinos. Today that has changed with the introduction of the MegaSpin slot series from Microgaming. Available at all of the casinos with the Viper software update these games are based on three of the most popular classic slots.

What are Mega Spin Slots?
The three games that have been converted to the MegaSpin range are Double Magic, High 5 and Fantastic Sevens. You can choose to play four, six or nine games at once. You can select the amount of games by hitting the games button located under the reels.

Seeing as you can play so many games at once, Microgaming have taken a great step in reducing the minimum coin size on all of the games. This has dropped from a quarter to ten cents. This means you can be playing all nine games on the Double Magic version for just $1.80 per game.

The highest coin size remains at $5 so if you have a big budget you can really go to town with bets of well over $100 a game. Of course with bigger bets you stand to win a lot more if you should hit the jackpot.

The pay tables and max bets on all three of the games remain the same as the classic versions. Double Magic offers a top hit of 1,600 coins, Fantastic Sevens offers a nice 2,500 coin prize and High 5 comes in with the biggest of them all - a 15,000 coin top prize ($75,000 at the $5 denomination).

High 5 MegaSpin
Identical to IGT's 5 Times Pay, High 5 features a X5 and X25 wild win multiplier. Three wild symbols award the highest win of 15,000 coins.
Play four, six or nine games at once

Double Magic MegaSpin
One of the most popular slots online is Double Magic. It is very similar to Double Diamonds and offers a X2 - X4 multiplier. Now you can enjoy the game in the MegaSpin format.

So are the MegaSpin Slots Worth Playing?
One point to note is that the MegaSpin slots are not at all like multi-hand video poker. Each game spins totally independently of the others. In essence you are just playing the same classic games at a faster pace.

Having said that, they are really entertaining to play as one press of a button gives up to nine shots at the top jackpot. This really adds a whole new level of excitement and entertainment. If you are one of those players who enjoys playing more than one game at a time then you should definitely check out the MegaSpin range of slots today.
