Alley Cats and Quest For Beer from Isle of Man-based developer feature bowling and Viking themes
Tuesday 13th May 2008
Software provider and games developer Microgaming has announced the launch of its new Quest For Beer and Alley Cats video slots.
Quest For Beer is a Viking-themed five-reel, 25-payline video slot featuring colourful and humorous graphics. Stumbling into Lars The Lanternjaw's Great Hall gives the opportunity to axe open barrels of prizes within with the most important being the Beer Tankard, which acts as a wild and substitutes for most of the other symbols.
There are also free spins and the sexy Beer Wench, which acts as a scatter and gives entry to the Axe Throwing bonus feature. This takes place in the Great Hall where five beer kegs act as targets. Throwing three axes at the five kegs rewards the player with beer and cash prizes while successfully filling a tankard with beer can reveal potential riches of up to 40 times the triggering bet.
Quest For Beer also features a gamble feature where wins can be doubled or quadrupled depending on a player's successful selection of colour and suit.
Alley Cats is a five-reel nine payline video slot featuring a backyard bowling alley and a variety of felines with their eyes set on trashcan targets. The new game offers players up to 50,000 credits in the base game but this can be doubled using free spins alongside an additional 2,700 points playing the second screen bonus feature.
The key to unlocking the rewards is the Strike! symbol, which acts as a scatter and can additionally trigger a choice of free spins or bonuses.
The symbol can deliver up to 100 times winnings alongside triggering 20 free spins in which all wins are doubled or a second screen bonus that gives the player three chances to bowl for prizes on six skittles.
