Microgaming’s Latest Slot Release Comes With High Volatility
Many of the top gaming software development companies look to end the year and the decade with a bang. New releases are a big part of the gaming industry’s continued expansion. Leading the charge all year long has been Microgaming as one of the biggest players in the game.
The company website, www.microgaming.co.uk, recently featured the latest slot release; A Dark Matter. Pushing the innovation bar has always been a big part of Microgaming’s strategy for new offerings. Teaming up with Slingshot Studios, this latest release is right on the mark.
A Dark Matter is a mysterious quest in the setting of a quaint English town. There have been a series of unexplained disappearances in Stonehurst to plague this once sleepy hamlet. That has all changed with the presence of eerie Wraith Manor.
The game’s central character is Nathan Highmore. He is a paranormal investigator for Scotland Yard. He is tasked with searching the reels for the Manor’s hidden secrets. Backed by a ghostly audio soundtrack, the stage is properly set for this quest. The starting point is the gates of Wraith Manor. This is a house shrouded in a deep mystery and a menacing presence. A Dark Matter is a five-reel slot offering a high level of volatility.
Some of the top features include:
- Invading Wilds
- Bidirectional Paylines
- An Enigmatic Cast of Characters
It all comes together in what should be one of the top Microgaming real money slots of the year. Invading Wilds unleash their supernatural power. Originally landing on reels two and four, they can spread to additional reels. This could create a block of six wilds.
If stacked wilds land on reels two or four during the same spin, the invasion spreads to the middle reel. This creates a block of nine wilds with a very lucrative win potential. Doorknocker scatter symbols are uncovered in the base game. Three or more will trigger A Dark Matter’s free spins. This also grants entry to Wraith Manor’s lounge and an initial 12 free spins. Players can earn an additional free spin for each additional scatter symbol.
The spooky soundtrack starts to intensify when the Invading Wilds consume the middle three reels. Caught up in all the excitement, players soon realize this unearths a 2x win multiplier with high win potential.
Just in time for Halloween, Microgaming released A Dark Matter on Oct. 22 exclusively to its casino operators.
James Buchanan is the Director of Global Operations at Microgaming. He added the following comments to this latest slot release:
“Slingshot Studios have successfully created a high volatility slot experience with an engaging storyline, intricate artwork, and atmospheric sounds. The addition of Invading Wilds and Bidirectional Paylines offers an exciting and rewarding gameplay experience. With win potential of up to 2,400X, the player’s bet during free spins.”
The Head of Studio at Slingshot is Richard Vermaak. About the game’s design, he added, “our aim was to create a truly theatrical experience coupled with high volatility gameplay.”
