An Interesting 2017 on Cards With Microgaming’s ICE Revelations

Last week the ICE Totally Gaming 2017 program was a grand success for Microgaming. The leading iGaming software developer made a series of announcements, leaving its competitors at a loss, struggling to return to the limelight.

Revelation of the Jurassic World Slot

The Jurassic Park slot from Microgaming has been on the market for quite a few years and been a grand success too. However, players have been clueless on whether a new sequel would be released after the release of the film Jurassic World in 2015.

The attendants of ICE 2017 were no longer left guessing, especially after viewing the dinosaur themed bar that the developers had set up. It was also officially announced that the sequel will be released during the summer of 2017. Additionally, an upgraded slot for the online Jurassic Park game is also on the cards this year.

With the release of this game, players will be able to enjoy a vast array of base game features that will be randomly triggered at different stages of the game. There will be a variety in the categories of spin modes in the game.

Phantom of the Opera

Microgaming is keen on securing licenses from Hollywood, in order to make branded content for the slots. With Jurassic World, the software developer is already on the front foot. The popular gaming giant also announced at the ICE 2017 that works are in progress to develop a new slot for Phantom of the Opera.

The slot is licensed on the film released in 2004, starring Gerard Butler and directed by Joel Schumacher. The musical spectacle has been witnessed by more than 140 million people over the world. When the slot is released in the Q3 2017 at Microgaming casinos, it will be enjoyed anew by the fans.

Coming Soon: Castle Builder II

The third announcement that stole the attention of attendees during the conference was the release of Castle Builder II. This slot is charted to release in Q2, 2017 at the participating casinos. The subsidiary studio of Microgaming, Rabcat, first released Castle Builder. In 2013, it bagged the EGR award.

In the new sequel, the players will need to construct their own castles, just like the original version. It will include the elements of fun, integrating social functions in the game. However, the scaling of the new game is set to be much higher, with 75 castles in 15 kingdoms, along with 300 characters.
