Microgaming to launch Japanese-based Casino Games

Microgaming, a privately owned casino game developer that provides a full-software platform to most online casino sites, has released a press advisory announcing their newest casino products which is based on the popular Japanese arcade games - Pachislo and Pachinko. These games which are equipped with unique features, will be created in an online casino format by Microgaming's game designers.


Based on the press release, Microgaming tends to introduce two Pachislo three reel, five payline games, and one Pachinko game. The launch date of the said games has not yet been announced, as well as the divulged details on the list of online casinos that will host these new games. However, online casinos can expect a lot from these new products. Innovative features have been added to the games making them more appealing to most players. The Pachislo and Pachinko games will be available in a variety of languages which will slot in nicely with Microgaming’s new multi-lingual software package. They will be offered to online casino operators as a stand-alone product within the Microgaming portfolio.


During the press advisory, Microgaming's Head Mike Hebden stated that the launch of Pachislo and Pachinko has proved that Microgaming has always been a market leader when it comes to introducing innovative products. He clearly stated, “Microgaming has always led the way when it comes to launching innovative products and the launch of Pachislo and Pachinko is no exception. This latest proposition demonstrates our commitment to exploring new markets and tailoring our offering to an increasingly diverse range of operators and players. We have worked hard to ensure that our new portfolio of games captures the sights, sounds and game logic of authentic Pachislo and Pachinko games, and we’re extremely confident they will prove a hit with players all around the world.”


PACHINKO

Pachinko is a popular Japanese arcade game that resembles a pinball machine minus the flippers. A ball is fired at a controllable initial speed into the machine and falls through a layout of pins. If the ball falls to the bottom, the player loses; but if the ball falls into one of the pockets, a jackpot is won. Originally the device was entirely mechanical but now the electronic versions are more popular.


PACHISLO

Pachislo looks like a three reel classic slots machine with a difference: each reel can be independently stopped by separate buttons. After the player acquires the requite skill, his chances of obtaining winning combinations increase. The other features of Pachislo games are the Big Bonus and Regular Bonus.


In Japanese arcades the players can exchange balls won only for gifts because gambling is illegal, but in the Microgaming version real money players can expect to receive cash payouts.
