Microgaming Converts Max Damage To Online Slot

November 3, 2014

The cartoon style character Max Damage will be back at Microgaming online casinos on November 5, but as a video slot game. In September 2012, the leading online gambling software provider from Isle of Man had launched its first arcade casino game titled Max Damage and the Alien Attack. This popular game has nine levels and six lives, and sends players on a mission to defend Earth from alien invasion.

Many players at Microgaming online casinos have been waiting for another arcade type online casino game, perhaps a sequel to Alien Attack. The sequel, if one can call it that, has come in the form of a video slot featuring the space hero Max Damage. This slot machine is in the standard 5x3 reel format with Microgaming’s trademark 243 ways to win. It exhibits alien-like symbols, vibrant and glowing animations and a retro soundtrack to put together the perfect arcade environment of the 1980s.

And the Max Damage online slot is rich in features. The Max Damage logo is the wild symbol and it can appear in stacks of three on the reels to reward players generously. Three or more Alien scatter symbols will activate a free spins bonus round that awards 15 free spins with doubled payouts. If an alien spaceship appears on the reels during the free spins, Max Damage will enter the scene and blast the intruders away, awarding extra random bonus payouts.

Mike Hebden, head of casino games at Microgaming, said that when Max Damage and the Alien Attack was released in 2012, the players got a new type of online casino game. He added, “The natural next step for us was to take this in-house brand and enhance it - not only by branching out with a new online slot but improving the existing game, to ensure its longevity.” He informed that the new game will be released simultaneously by operators using the Microgaming and QuickFire platforms.

On November 5, Microgaming will also launch Riviera Riches as a mobile game on its HTML5 platform. Riviera Riches is often referred to as a combo game. It is popular at Microgaming online casinos because it combines two of the most popular land casino game concepts, slot machines and roulette, in a setting of the luxury and opulence of the famous Riviera. Riviera Riches is a 5 reels, 15 paylines online slot machine with wilds, scatters and rewards that can soar as high as 1,500 the bet. Now you will have the Riviera in the palm of your hand.
