New Microgaming Games Including King Cashalot and Tunzamunni

Published : 2nd of September, 2004

This month we see another software update from Microgaming and more new games. Two new progressives have been added to the line up which are sure to become very popular as well as two new bonus feature video slots. The stand out addition is King Cashalot - one of the new progressives.

King Cashalot is a five reel, nine line game with a fixed coin size of 5¢. The jackpot starts at a big $100,000 and max bet is 45 coins or $2.25. This is half the price of Treasure Nile which has a base jackpot of $40,000. To win the progressive you need to line up five wild kings.

Apart from the big top jackpot the game is also the first progressive from Microgaming to have a bonus game. Hitting three dragons on the middle three reels awards a pick a box bonus where you get three chances to pick up a big prize. Overall the game is fun to play and is set to become very popular.

Another game added in this update is Tunzamunni. Again Microgaming have added something different that we have not seen before. In this case it is the first nickel spinning reel type slot. It has a max bet of five coins and a starting jackpot of $10,000 - pretty good considering max bet is just 25¢.

The game has a jungle theme mixed with the red, white and blue theme. Lining up a white, a red and a blue seven with max bet wins the top jackpot. As you would expect the rest of the wins are much lower than $10,000. Second highest pay is $250 - still not bad when you look at the max bet.

In addition to the new progressives you will also find Tally Ho, a five reel nine line bonus video slot with a free spin feature. The game has a British hunting theme and offers the highest free spin multiplier that we have seen online. Three horns activates ten free spins with all wins quadrupled.

It looks like Microgaming have decided to increase their game range on a regular basis. This is great to see as it is always nice to have something new to play when you log in to your favorite casino. We have already seen Major Millions, Cash Splash, Fruit Fiesta and Lotsaloot released with five reel versions so the remaining progressives should be coming soon.
