Special Sneak Peek Of Microgaming’s Karaoke Party Slot

18+

As always, Microgaming have kindly provided us with a special video preview of their latest online and mobile slot machine.

And, as usual, we examine the slot video frame by frame to find out whether you’ll be rocking out to another great Microgaming slot game, or singing sad songs into your whisky.

Out August 3rd, it’s always worth checking out what this great video slot studio is up to.

Watch 1 min Karaoke Party slot video preview

It’s got bright lights, groups of young hopeful singers, and 1 minute footage of what looks like a pretty standard Microgaming mobile game.

So? What did you think? Suddenly felt the urge to sing I Will Survive or Celebrate Good Times?

For a Karaoke Party, there a serious lack of Karaoke

You’d think that they’d have a few good tunes on there you could sing along to, right? I mean, this is Microgaming. One of the biggest slot game casino providers in the world.

They don’t have the cash to splash on a couple of one hit wonders who will be happy to give up their single?

But, fine. We suppose this isn’t a big slot release for them, so they didn’t want to spend the money on what isn’t a branded slot.

That’s always a good sign of a good time, right? Someone who wants to spend just enough to give people one drink, but not enough to get them drunk.

All we are saying is that if IGT could spend a little cash getting the rights to ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ for their Pharaoh’s Fortune slot, which has nothing to do with the original band, this Karaoke Party slot could have had one decent song.

But it is full of racial and karaoke stereotypes

Other than the generic Ace to 10 symbols, which have no particular personality, the high paying symbols are a bunch of Karaoke stereotypes.

We would like to apologise in advance for the description of these, but Microgaming left us little choice.

• You have the pop star wannabe, plenty of boobs, but with a pop princess look to her.
• You have the 3… strippers? We want to say strippers. We suppose they could be out on a hen/bachelorette party if we are being gracious?
• Then there’s the corny couple doing the love duet. Probably the one that most resembles real life.
• Single Asian guy… Are we… are we allowed to write that? His only defining feature is his race?
• A group of… Oh come on Microgaming! More Asian guys? Really?

Look, those last two wouldn’t bother us if it wasn’t for the fact that the corny couple have a slight… eastern… look about them as well.

Not all people who love Karaoke are from Asia you know. Sure, you could leave the loved up couple in there, but maybe they could have represented a broader stroke of people joining in this Karaoke Party slot.

If we want to play on an Asian slot, we’ll open up the Asian Beauty or the Wild Orient slot games. At least those respect rather than mock the culture.

Going back to basics with 9 paylines and free spins

Alright, so we weren’t fond of the theme.

But can you blame us? Even if we allow that 50% of people who enjoy Karaoke might be of Asian descent, this theme feels kinda lazy.

Like the Microgaming designers are taking some long vacations this summer, and only the interns are left to hold the fort.

That scatter symbol is just a bunch of dice being rolled. When was the last time you took dice with you to the Karaoke booth?

Celebrate good times with 150,000 cash win

Ok, now we are talking.

Microgaming are promising that this Karaoke Party mobile slot will have big enough wins to make things interesting.

And actually, if you look at its set up, we know we will probably like it.

Why? Because it has 9 paylines, with 15 free spins that come with a 3x multiplier.

You didn’t see it on screen, but we’ll bet our Dance Party Wii game that the wild will come with a 2x multiplier as well.

How can we be so sure?

Because we’ve seen these numbers and mechanics before.

It’s the same ones that made the original Thunderstruck slot so good, and one that Micorgaming have used again and again in their various slot machines.

Don’t believe us? You can also play on Agent Jane Blonde if your prefer, or the Summertime slot, or Ladies Nite if you want something a little corny.

It’s like, every few years they bring out a new theme to remind players that they have really good games.

Should we look forward to this Karaoke Party slot?

Personally, we think there are far more exciting releases due out this August 2016.

NetEnt’s Secret of Atlantis out on the 24th of August, for example. Or even the crazy looking, but original, IGT Tokidoki branded slot coming on the 11th.

But Karaoke slot will be out before all of those.

So no doubt when you see it at Microgaming casinos on the 3rd of August, you’ll have a little spin.

And no doubt, you’ll have fun

Because the mechanics have proven popular with players, you’ll even have a good time.

But take it from us, you can easily have the same good time right now by simply opening the always classic Thunderstruck slot machine.

And you don’t have to wait weeks.

Just open an account with Go Wild Casino, and get 30 free spins no deposit on Avalon + 230% first deposit bonus, or if you’re in the UK, get £10 free to spend on any Microgaming slot you want at 32Red casino.
