While it's getting hotter than March outside, things are also heating up in the online gaming world, thanks to a brand new slot game from Microgaming. The new Hot as Hades will have you turning up the heat and winning big in no time!
This brand new game is available to play from this week (8th March) and has launched on the Flash and Quickfire platforms. It's also available to download, so you'll likely find it on all your favourite Microgaming casinos within the next couple of weeks.
The slot has been a long time coming, as the head of casino games at Microgaming, Mike Hebden, notes that the team have spent months of hard work coming up with this final product. As a result, Hebden is very proud of the finished product, and believes that the Hot as Hades slot has the potential to become a flagship game for the brand.
Plenty of crafting went into creating the highest quality designs for the game, and alongside the perfectly balanced slot engine and popular theme of the game itself, it's fair to say that this game will do well. Players should certainly enjoy playing the finished product.
This new 5 reel 20 pay line slot game is, as you might expect from the name, based on the God of the Underworld form Greek mythology. Go with him on adventure to Mount Olympus along with his three-headed sidekick, Cerberus.
The game opens with a high quality 3D mini film, setting the scene and planting you firmly alongside Hades on his journey to Mount Olympus. This theme continues throughout the game with high quality animations depicting the journey upwards. This additional extra to the game is part of Microgaming's bid to showcase their dedication to creating new, higher standards of not only individual games but general game development.
There are plenty of great features for players to benefit from in the game too, alongside the captivating animations and graphics. For example there's a free spins mode which can be triggered at random in the base game. This offers 5 free spins initially, with 3 held wilds. Not only this, but wins during the free games offer a 2x multiplier, making for a lucrative bonus indeed!
A further bonus feature is available in the form of the Quest for the Crystal Helm bonus. This is triggered by spinning 3 or more of the scatter symbols in the base game, and offers players the chance to win up to 100,000 coins. You'll come up against a load of characters from Greek mythology in this bonus, such as Medusa, Poseidon and of course Zeus in order to try and bag a huge payout.
This new slot game isn't all that's happening in Microgaming HQ as a number of existing games are also being updated and improved over the coming weeks. An updated version of the Chainmail slot is also due for imminent release, now in HD, and also mobile versions of the Party Island slot and Supe It Up game are also expected to drop this month so keep your eyes peeled for those!
