Battle Of The New Microgaming Slots: Hot as Hades, Party Island and Supe It Up

18+

As usual, we round up the new video slots we can expect from Microgaming this July.

And as usual, we have the unfortunate honor of saying that of the three, only two are mobile, and it’s not the brand new jazzy one with the video and bonus games.

Ah well. Microgaming have promised to make the new Bridesmaids slot coming in August will be out on mobile as the same time as online, so we should just enjoy the small victories, and see what we get this month.

After all, didn’t we rediscover the wonderful Fish Party slot game in June, a game we had forgotten about? A crime by our books as it has a 6,480 times your bet win.

So, in the spirit of hopefulness, perhaps Party Island and Supe It Up can compete with the wonderful looking Hot as Hades.

Hey, don’t laugh. Optimism is a wonderful quality.

What to expect from the Hot as Hades slot

Best way to find out is to watch this 2 minute video:

A 5 x 3 reel, 20 line slot, this is a pretty tongue-in-cheek take on the popular Greek mythology theme.

Your host is Hades, the lord of the underworld, lava swimmer, rock dancing, flaming headed god.

We can tell you that Hot as Hades slot will be a fairly mid variance slot, with a top possible win of 2,000 times your bet. So basically, fun, with lots of animations to keep you entertained, and the occasional big win to get the heart racing.

The two bonus features in the Hot as Hades slot:

• Super mode free spins: triggered randomly, you’ll be awarded with 5 free spins. Hades will then show up on screen and award you with 3 wilds that will remain sticky for the remainder of the bonus games. You are guaranteed to get 3 wilds, but you might get these on the first or the last three of the 5 spins. You just don’t know.
• 3 or more scatter symbols: will send Hades on a cinematic quest to find the Crystal Helm. Much like in the game Avalon 2 (based on the original awesome Avalon slot), there are 5 levels to this quest. Each time you get the scatters you progress through one of the levels, beating off monsters and gods. But is essentially a pick me bonus that gets bigger on each successive open of the quest.

We have to say, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. And with an original soundtrack, and pretty fun graphics, we suspect this will be a pure hit for Microgaming online casinos.

“We’re very proud of our Hot as Hades slot. We’ve combined a popular theme, the highest quality design work and a perfectly balanced slot engine to create what we believe is a flagship game.

After months of hard work, we’re incredibly excited for the game’s launch and we hope our players enjoy playing the game as much as we enjoyed creating it!” Mike Hebden, Head of Casino Games at Microgaming stated.

Head to Ibiz… We mean, Party Island!

After the graphically fun Hot as Hades, we suspect that opening up the Party Island slot machine will be a major disappointment.

It’s basically a fairly generic 5 reels, 9 payline game which takes as it’s inspiration a long weekend in Ibiza. You get Aces to 9 symbols, as well as cocktails, dancing night, babes in bikinis and DJ tables.

All in all, fairly standard stuff.

• 3 or more scatters will trigger 15 free spins with a 2x multiplier on any wins.
• Get up to 3,000 times your bet.
• Wild symbols and gamble feature.
• Win up to 3,000 times your bet

Basically, probably a good solid addition, but nothing we haven’t seen before.

Especially as it was released in 2011 as an online slot machine.

Rev your engines with the Supe it Up slot

A hot rod of a slot, this 25 payline 5 reel game is for the inner motor head in you, or at the very least, the 10 year old inside of you who love monster trucks.

Again, this is a fairly old online game, release way back in 2006, so the graphics and sounds won’t be anything out of this world, but you can see why they decided to turn it into a mobile slot.

Up to 30 free spins with 6x multipliers

This is the big selling point of the Supe it Up slot and what will get your engine revving with anticipation.

You get a 6x multiplier no matter what. But 3, 4 or 5 scatters trigger a generous 20, 25 and 30 free spin bonus game, which is more than most.

More interestingly, the wild comes with a 2x multiplier as standard. So during the free spins that a potential 12x multiplier on any win.

That tells us two things:

1. There’s a 2,400 times your bet max win.
2. The free spins will be hard to catch, so you’ll need a little patient.

The good news is that the wild with the 2x multiplier comes in the base game as well, so you can generally expect to get a few decent wins even in the base game as you wait for the free spins.

All in all, of the two mobile slots, it’s definitely the one that seems to be the best.

But not quite as good as Hot as Hades.

Still, at least you can play on both Party Island and Supe it Up, right now, at great Microgaming casinos.

Where? A great place to start is Go Wild Casino, which gives you €$1,000 in deposit bonus + 150 free spins.
