Ladbrokes Casino and Jackpot Factory’s Wild Jack Casino are among the first on the Internet to launch the latest game in the hugely popular Microgaming Gold series table games.
New Multihand Hold’em High, like all Microgaming Gold Series games, has outstanding photo realistic graphics that add dimension to online play. This sophisticated, top-of-the-line game really does set the benchmark for other casino software developers to attain in terms of smooth, fast realistic card action and generous gambling opportunities.
Designed to appeal to both casino and poker players, this new game combines in our view the best features of each, mixing stylish table game action with classic Texas Hold’em Poker.
Dealing from a single deck you can play up to 5 poker hands at once, using the community cards to complete your hands. The original 2 cards dealt must form part of the final hand for payout and the minimum win hand is 2 pair, Jacks or Better paying out at 1:1. The unlikely but occasional Royal Flush rewards you handsomely with a 500:1 payout. The side bet option in new Multihand Hold’em High can top up certain wins too (King & Ace of Spades pays 50:1, King & Ace suited 25:1, and any 2 cards of the same suit pays 5:2).
All in all, we think this makes for one of the more entertaining casino games - the team at CasinoLabRat.com has declared new Multihand Hold’em High a ‘gotta try it’ game.
(BTW: Our casino game ratings start at “not even with a long pole”, “don’t bother”, “yawn” and “they’ve got to be joking!” through to “fun, but not for long”, “yep, can get into this”, “gotta try it”, “you’ll love this” and ”why play anything else?”).
Check out new Multihand Hold’em High - for free play for real money - in the “New Games” section at these two popular Microgaming casinos:
>>Ladbrokes Casino (Sorry, no US players - lots of currencies and a wide variety of payment methods are accepted at this popular and safe global gambling specialist)
>>Wild Jack Casino (Players from around the World including those from 39 States of the USA are welcome to become members at stylish Wild Jack Casino. Wild Jack is a member of the Jackpot Factory Group of online entertainment sites)

On May 6th, Microgaming’s new Cashapillar, Sure Win, Alley Cats and Quest for Beer slot machines were released and we’ve been playing them ever since. HoldEm High, a cool new table poker game also has succeeded in taking up way more of our time (and money!) than we’d initially anticipated (and we’ll blog on this game separately soon, as it’s worth a detailed look).
So, what do we think of these new Microgaming slot releases? Well… overall, not as good as last month’s new slots - but still well worth a look, aand we’re damned fussy…and they are finally enticing enough to break the Tomb Raider II addiction I’d developed!
First up, Cashapillar - it’s gotta go first as it’s just so different! With like, a quizillion paylines this slot game is a bit weird (100 paylines and a 5×5 reel game grid) - and max bet is 1000 coins a spin. So you can win big - but also lose big really quickly! The max wins of up to 2 million coins when betting max and 6 million coins during free spins is amazing and in all our test play we always ended up with more money than when we started! Unusual.
Cashapillar’s game graphics depicting friendly insects all decked out for the catepillar’s 100th birthday party are a little odd. Sort of “Through the Looking Glass” stuff - rather trippy. I’m also not too sure about the New Orleans style birthday tune that plays on win lines. Annoying after a while. 3,4 or 5 bonus birthday cake symbols activates the free spins - and free spins can be retriggered during free spins! Yay!
So if you like snails, bees, butterflys horned beetles and catapillars…and the chance to win big - give Cashapillar slot game a whirl. If the very thought of bugs has you reaching for the bug spray - and a 100-payline line slot fills you with panic as you like to follow the payouts, then this one’s not for you!
The next new slot, Quest for Beer, features an axe throwing bonus game that is triggered by 3 or more scraggly but somehow comely blonde pigtailed girl (beer wench!). When a tankard of beer appears on reels 2,3 and 4 the free spins feature triggers. (10 free spins with winnings doubled - and in this game they can be retriggered within the free spins win! Yay! The bonus game can also be triggered within free spins - an even better yay!) Overall I dod not think much of the graphics and found this slot a bit boring after a couple of bonus games… yawn.
The Alley Cats Slot - you guessed it - features ten pin bowling cats! In the bonus round you do get to bowl over objects like a lava lamp, broken bottles and even a tied up little puppy. (I could not choose the dog, so don’t know if the folks at Microgaming reward or penalize you for being cruel to animals). You can also score 20 free spins (with winnings doubled). Unfortunately neither the bonus game or free spins can be be retriggered during free spins which I always think is a bit miserly! This new slot has colourful graphics and is a bit of fun. Worth a look.
Sure Win Slot has a horse racing theme complete with Psssst! Tipster. It’s been available a few months exclusively at Ladbrokes Casino (with jockeys wearing special Ladbrokes livery!). Sure Win is a stylish slot that gives you a chance to win up to 560,000 coins. 3,4 or 5 scatter “tipsters” trigger the free spins feature for 12 free spins at x4 multiplier, (16 free spins at x3, or 24 free spins at x2). Sure Win includes a Gamble feature so if you’re really lucky you can quadruple your winnings.
Check them all out in the “New Games” section at these two popular Microgaming casinos: (You can play these games as a guest for free or join up and play for real money)
Yukon Gold Casino (a wild west gold rush theme that welcomes players from around the world including those from 39 States of America)
Ruby Fortune Casino (a stylish UK owned casino offering you 750 real money chips without a deposit to try the games for free for an hour - you can keep your winnings. Sorry, Ruby Fortune cannot accept USA residents)

A new no download slot Microgaming slot at Ladbrokes Casino really does combine the fun of a pub fruity style slot machine with a bingo game as the bonus round.
Called Bingo Bango Boom this 3 reel UK Pub Slot has a minimum bet of just 30p and maximum bet of £10. Not bad when you consider the jackpot on offer is a cool £50,000.
Similar to a number of recent AWP (Amusement with Prizes) slot machines (like Stallionaire, Geegees, Abra-Kebab_ra and Apocalypse Cow) the basic Bingo Bongo Boom game involves accumulating bingo balls on an 8-step trail ladder - as you play standard 3 reel slots with nudges, holds, etc.
Complete the trail of bingo balls to trigger the main bingo game feature. The Bingo Bango Boom feature can be won by matching up 4 numbers on one of your bingo cards based on the balls drawn. Lots of feature games are involved with stoppa, selector, Nudge Mania and more as win options to determine your payout.
In our play testing having started with £200 we regular reached £350-450 based on bonus game payouts. Fun.
Enjoy Bingo?…try new Bingo Bango Boom slot for free (no registration or download is required) or for real money at Ladbrokes Casino.

Now here’s a fun casino game that’s worth a look if you’re a slots fan - especially if you are in dire need of a holiday! Railway buffs will also find this game fun.
Jackpot Holiday features a cruise ship and a train zipping around a map of Europe as you spin bonus icons on the slots reels.
The bonus features accumulate as you play, triggering the “plan your cruise” feature game (choose from 5 destinations, 4 activities and a prestige, adventure or leisure tour) or “pick your journey” train trip feature game (seaside or mountain journeys) for bonus payouts.
Very cool. It’s an ‘Instant no download’ casino game and you can play for free with a 500 Euro balance each time you click or you can deposit and play for real money. (To fund that real holiday?)
Jackpot Holiday can be played for free or for real money at Eurobet Gaming. (Sorry, no US players)

£20 TV Offer!
The UK gambling industry has undergone some fairly radical changes over the last year or so and the bookies and casinos are testing the waters by advertising on TV and through other media to try to catch your eye. Some campaigns have been more successful, and deemed legal by the authorities, while others have ended up being reviewed for “political correctness” and pulled (like PaddyPower’s Man Breasts ads).
To celebrate the launch of their very first TV advert Ladbrokes Casino are offering all new players to Ladbrokescasino.com £20 worth of chips FREE!
This means you can experience the excitement and fun of real money Casino play for FREE and still collect your winnings! No deposit is required, and you can even try out the latest new Tomb Raider - Secret of the Sword slot machine or play the photo realistic High Streak blackjack.
You actually have nothing to lose. No deposit is required to try out your choice of casino games at Ladbrokes Casino with these free real money chips.
>>Click here for more details on Ladbrokes “Quench your thrill buds” promotion.
>>If you’ve not seen the advertisement you can even play the “Pedro TV ad” on your PC. It’s funny, and worth a look even if you don’t wish to play!

Well, I’ve finally found a re-release of a Microgaming slot I can really rave about - and no, it’s not the recent Tomb Raider II Secret of the Sword (but that’s good too!)
This time it’s Break Da Bank Again. This slot is a great re-release of a long time favourite, ultra popular, slot machine. The new game’s graphics are pretty cool (like the photo realistic bank vault, the gold bullion, the wads of cold crisp notes so real you can smell them!, checks with lots of zeroes and the beautiful gleaming sapphires…) Lots of shiny valuables! Mesmerising! It’s all mine, mine, mine I say… !
Sorry, that’s a bit screw-loose. The little graphic in this blog just does not do it justice. There is however just something sleek and ultra rewarding about this new slot machine. You can win a massive 375,000 coins on this and have lots of free spin win chances too (up to 25 free spins at x5 multiplier). Break Da Bank Again is by far my favourite out of April’s new releases - and they are ALL well worth a look.
Double O Cash (as in 007 and Bond, James Bond) is a far more racy 5 reel slot game (but I still prefer Breaking that Bank!). The background theme music is very Bond and the shaken not stirred martini features a lot. Unfortunately an annoying bling bling bling sound accompanies the spinning reels. (I suggest you switch off ‘game sounds’ in the options menu but keep background sounds… but it’s your call.)
Helicopter gunships, fast cars & motorbikes, leatherclad Bond Girls (female assassins), the dude with the cigar and white cat (who is that?) and Jaws biting through a chain…all great animations.
3,4 or 5 adjacent “Bond watches” triggers 10 to 30 free spins but unfortunately free spins can’t be retriggered within free spins in this game. The Mission Bonus Game (well, the one I’ve been lucky enough to play so far - there may be more like in Secret of The Swords!) dives the Bond-mobile underwater to defuse mines for payouts. Win up to 100,000 coins…
And for a slot game with a completely different look and feel, Celtic Crown features a particularly saucy looking celtic Princess (perhaps modelled on the game developer’s naughty Irish girlfriend?) and an anxious looking Celtic Prince (I wouldn’t trust that vixen either!), and of course lots of shamrocks. I like the bonus round of presenting gifts to the royals and suggest you check it out for a bit of slots fun. Free spins galore so far in my test play…
Good luck at the slots!
Mike
