Leading software provider Microgaming has announced an exciting new slot to join its Jurassic Park franchise. “Jurassic Park: Gold” has been created in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms.

Alongside this blockbuster slot, Microgaming has unveiled a roster of exciting new games for February.

Reviving a Classic
Fans of Microgaming’s roster of trail-blazing slots can look forward to its latest offering, to be released later this month. “Jurassic Park: Gold” will be launched as a follow-up to the Isle of Man based software provider’s award-winning “Jurassic Park Online Slot”, which came out in 2014. It joined forces with Universal Games and Digital Platforms to revive the classic in the run up to the release of the “Jurassic World: Dominion” movie later this year.
Players can expect an immersive and action-packed game full of special features. Stormcraft Studios, which is experienced in crafting blockbuster games, developed the slot. Microgaming has worked with the creative studio many times before, including on the popular “Fortunium Gold: Mega Moolah”.
Since 2016, the South African studio has been responsible for some of the biggest titles, including “Mega Moolah”, “Thunderstruck” and Immortal Romance”. Founder and Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, Terence Igesund, was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on the iconic game. Igesund said:
“We’re hugely excited to have embarked on the next Jurassic Park adventure, bringing this incredible world to life for slot fans once again. Jurassic Park: Gold combines the enormity of a great global brand with the power of the popular Link&Win? mechanic, while immersing players in amazing audio-visuals.”
Players can try their hand at “Jurassic Park: Gold” from February 22nd, when it launches across Microgaming’s online platforms. The action takes place at the film’s famous dinosaur theme park, and features everyone’s favorite characters and fearsome dinosaurs. The drama is amped up thanks to an array of exciting new game mechanics.
The 5X4 reel, forty payline slot boasts numerous collection challenges, free spin features and multipliers. On top of that, giant jackpots are worth up to 8,000 times a wager. Players should keep their eyes peeled for the instantly recognizable Jurassic Park logo. That symbol acts as the game’s wild, offering either a 2X or 5X multiplier.
Packed with Features
Another key symbol to be aware of is the amber scatter symbol. Landing three or more of these on the reels grants the player entry in to the feature selections screen, where they can choose from four unlockable free spins destinations. With so much on offer, there are heaps of ways to play this game offering fresh surprises at every turn.
One of the most special features waiting to be discovered is the highly-volatile WildStorm free spins feature. This feature has already earned a reputation amongst slot fans, as it offers the thrilling opportunity to turn up to five reels wild on a single spin. What’s more, players can win up to 5,000X their bet.
While the free spin features in “Jurassic Park: Gold” are sure to generate a lot of excitement, its base game has a lot to offer too. The Link&Win bonus feature offer the potential for massive jackpot prizes. Collecting six or more Powerball symbols will trigger the reels to expand to 5X8, boosting win potential, while more Powerballs continue to unlock extra rows. A grid filled with forty Powerball symbols wins the gigantic jackpot prize worth 8,000X.
“Jurassic Park: Gold” is a slot packed with win potential, dramatic gameplay and stunning visuals. Fans of Microgaming’s original “Jurassic Park Online Slot” won’t be disappointed, as this game does the original justice while bringing the overall look and features up to date. Speaking on behalf of Microgaming, Head of Games Strategy and Partner Management David Reynolds stated:
“In true Stormcraft Studios style, the team behind Jurassic Park: Gold have done an amazing job of delivering an immense blockbuster game that lives up to its namesake. Building on the classic dinosaur-themed slot with some exciting new additions such as the Link&Win? mechanic, this latest instalment is sure to draw the same appeal as the epic original.”
February Slots
“Jurassic Park: Gold” isn’t the only exciting new slot Microgaming will debut this month. February will see a whole host of innovative games join the software provider’s eclectic portfolio. Amongst the games that have already been released this month are “Adventures of Captain Blackjack”, “Wolf Call” and “Hyper Strike HyperSpins”.
“Adventures of Captain Blackjack” comes from Just For The win, and features cash prizes, stacked wilds and free spins. Continuing the swashbuckling theme, jackpot prizes worth up to 5,000X can be won by unleashing the Kraken Wheel bonus feature. The Skull Cave free spins feature also offers the chance to win extra spins, multipliers and symbol upgrades.
Developed by SpinPlay Games, “Wolf Call” offers a whopping 1,024 ways to win. The Power Range feature awards an array of multipliers, and wild symbols can be collected to trigger the Diamond Jackpot feature. Fans may already be familiar with SpinPlay Games, thanks to its popular “9 Blazing Diamonds” slot, dropped in April last year.
“Hyper Strike HyperSpins” is the latest game to come from Gameburger Studios, and brings together two innovative mechanics. The HyperSpins mechanism allows players to respin individual reels, as they try to land up to nine Hyper Strike scatters. This can either award up to 2,000X the total bet, or launch up to 30 free spins with a 3X multiplier.
Another hot title to look forward to is “Aztec Falls” from Northern Lights Gaming. This jungle themed game full of free spins and sticky wilds goes live on February 24th. “Viking Queen” from GONG Gaming Technologies is already available to play. A visual feast, this Norse adventure comes loaded with multipliers and bonus features.
Fans of more traditional online casino games will enjoy Switch Studios’ “Perfect Strategy Blackjack”, which promises to be clean, crisp and modern. Switch Studios is also releasing “French Roulette” and “Wheel of Winners” with Microgaming the same month. “French Roulette” is the latest to join its suite of roulette titles, while “Wheel of Winners” boasts a retro TV game show setting.
