Coming May 4th: The New Microgaming Win Sum Dim Sum Slot

18+

And we’ve got a sneak peek video to show you, full of every juicy detail, and soy based wins.

That said, May the 4th, other than being Star Wars day where we will have all movies playing in the background in the office, is also the day we get the Rift slot from Thunderkick.

And sure, most of you will say that there’s no way that a little casino software like Thunderkick games can compare with the studio giants that are Microgaming slots but…

Well, let’s not jump to conclusions shall we? Let’s see what this behemoth has to offer come May 4th.

Special video preview of Win Sum Dim Sum slot

We love it when video slot software gives us a little preview of their games ahead of time. Makes it easier to be judgemental.

So what did you think? Meh?

Yeah, ok, so the graphics are not much more interesting than the So Much Sushi slot, which though pretty, always kinda made for an odd theme.

Is this Android / iOS slot trying to make us hungry? Are we supposed to be entertained by a steaming plate of Chinese dumplings? Or get taken back to that really bad blind date we had last month?

It’s not a fun cooking theme, like in the Ninja Chef slot, or based around a more general theme, like in Spring Break.

Here you literally have dumplings, tea and high card symbols. Yum…? Exciting…? We don’t know.

At least the name is pretty clever. Win sum… some… Dim Sum… Gettit?

Don’t let the theme put you off, it hides big wins

That’s the good news. If you looked at the video of this Win Sum dim Sum slot machine you’ll see that most of it’s appeal is that, at 15 paylines, it resembles the old fashioned Microgaming Games.

It’s not 243 ways to win, it’s not got a million bonus features.

What it has is expanding wilds, scatters and free spins. It’s nice to see this provider go back to basics every once in a while.

Win 3333 times your bet during the free spins

There’s no doubt that the main draw here will be the free spins games, much like almost every other good Microgaming slot game.

3 scatters triggers 15 free spins, but the nice bit is that you’ll get expanded wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 – not just 3 as in the main game.

As you can see from the video, it can lead to some pretty big wins.

Should we be worried about Dim Sum Win Sum?

Yeah, there’s a good top win hiding in there. And yeah, those expanded wilds and 15 paylines certainly sound promising.

But, our concern is that, should the free spins bonus games take a while to show up, we’ll end up bored or broke.

Bored because the theme is pretty generic and unexciting, broke because we’ll be waiting forever to get those free spins.

Still, it’s all theory till we get to play this mobile slot on May 4th 2016.

A high return to player rate and hit frequency

What gives us hope is some of the hidden number you can’t see in the video, but that we’ve managed to get straight from the source.

The return to player rate sits at a high 96% to 97%. That means it should be a fairly generous machine.

The hit rate, or how often you’ll get a win, is about 34% to 35%, which again, is quite frequent.

Not many go much high, except perhaps for the Halloweenies slot, but that one goes too high – the wins are so frequent, you only get pennies rather than wads of cash.

It won’t change world, but we will still play

It’s a Microgaming slot isn’t it? So, of course, the moment it’s out, we’ll be the first to play.

Why? Because even a mediocre Microgaming mobile game is better than most peoples best.

That said, out of the two, we are slightly more excited about Thunderkick’s Rift slot game out the same day. It’s a little more imaginative, and with a unique theme and feature, just more exciting.

No doubt we will be eating our words come May 4th. But short of anyone bringing out an actual Star Wars slot on that day, these two competing machines will certainly occupy our minds.

You know, in between discussing whether Han Solo shot first or not.

Who will have this Microgaming slot on May 4th?

Most good Microgaming casinos of course.

But you don’t have to wait till next week to enjoy some of the best games around.

You can, in fact, take 30 free spin on the always classic Avalon slot, no deposit needed at Go Wild Casino. Unless you’re in the UK, in which case you can enjoy £10 free at 32Red casino.

Fancy playing somewhere with a little more variety than just Microgaming?

We’ve been having great fun at Guts, who has recently added WMS games, and where you get 10 free spins on Piggy Riches + £€$300 in bonus on your first deposit.

Lots of choice and the may the force… no wait… wrong post.

We mean, cough, good luck.
