Microgaming Wins Award For Terminator 2 Online Slot

October 13, 2014

The first Global Gaming Awards were held on September 29 in Las Vegas. The awards covered many categories in both online gambling and land based gambling. In one of the most sought after categories, Digital Product of the Year, the software provider to many Canadian online casinos Microgaming emerged winner.

A press release from Microgaming stated that it “impressively fought off nine other shortlisted companies in the category of Digital Product of the Year to take home the prize”. The software provider was recognized for the high quality of its online casino games. One of these games, Terminator 2 online slot which launched in June 2014, was singled out for special mention. Terminator 2 branded slot was acclaimed for its action-packed player features and incredible representation of the iconic blockbuster film.

In the press release, Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, commented on behalf of the software provider. He said that the company was honored to win the award for Digital Product of the Year. Raatgever added that the award was special because it was voted for by a panel of peers which comprised the biggest names in the gaming industry. Companies involved in the gambling industry were nominated based on their accomplishments in the past year. A panel of 50 industry leaders selected the winners in each category. The judging process was carried out under the oversight of the official voting adjudicator KPMG Gibraltar to ensure accuracy and transparency.

Though Microgaming won this award for its Terminator 2 slot game, Raatgever also mentioned another branded slot game Jurassic Park, which was released in August. This one was of equally epic proportions. Terminator 2, sub-titled Judgment Day set new standards in visual and sound effects. Microgaming has successfully reproduced the stunning graphics and audio on the reels through the use of original film footage and soundtrack. A single scatter symbol activates the free spins feature, which sees the slot expand from a 243 ways to 1,024 ways game. Jurassic Park online slot brings alive the island where dinosaurs roam freely. In the free spins players are randomly awarded one of five dinosaur-themed features. These include innovative offerings like wild reels, mystery multipliers, split wilds, wild multipliers, winning wilds and running wilds.

Both these branded slot machines are live at Canadian online casinos powered by Microgaming such as Platinum Play, Royal Vegas and 7 Sultans. This award from Global Gaming will renew interest in these fantastic games.
