PokerRide joins arsenal of games, while Wowpot is upgraded
Tuesday 2nd November 2004
Jackpot Madness is releasing two games- one brand new and one improved version of one of their players’ favourites. The new game is a new release by Microgaming- a progressive called Poker Ride, based around the existing land based table game Let it Ride. The improved version of WowPot is also being launched.
Poker Ride is a new game tapping into the current popularity for poker. The action centres around poker and features the high quality graphics and sound effects. A spokesperson for Jackpot Madness, Francine Haliva said of the new game: “The progressive jackpot for Poker Ride is the first Jackpot Madness table game jackpot to pay ten percent of the jackpot for a Straight Flush, similar to land based casinos. Players of Poker Ride can enjoy progressive poker action and all the other fantastic features found on Microgaming’s Viper software platform where Poker Ride is available.” To celebrate the launch Poker Ride will be featured as the site’s December game of the month.
Wowpot has already proven to be a favourite game for Jackpot Madness players, and is now upgraded to a 5 reel, 15 playline version. Basic elements of the game remain the same with the WowPot symbol remaining wild. Should a player get 5 of these symbols aligned on the 15th playline they win the progressive jackpot. Haliva added comments on the new version of the game: “There are now even more ways to win WowPot, as the additional paylines ensure that the game has a high hit rate. In addition to the wild symbol, the game has multiplier and scatter features. Like the original Wowpot, the 5-reel, 15 payline version is particularly suitable for the beginner to intermediate player, although players at all levels are certain to love it.”
