Microgaming has announced the launch of Robot Butler. Although that might sound like some kind of automated servant that will save you from ever having to wash your car again, it is in fact the title of a brand new five reel video slots game. Robot Butler is one of two new online slots games that Microgaming has released as it prepares to exhibit its wares at the International Gaming Expo (IGE) in London next week (26-28 January), and comes hot on the heels of the Hellboy slots game that recently appeared at online casinos which use Microgaming technology.
The Robot Butler slots game might not take care of your personal chores, but it does feature the same kind of robotic servant that optimistic scientists all over the world are working hard to create. The game boasts 20 pay lines and puts you in a futuristic world where robotic assistance is as essential to your life as your mobile phone is today. Symbols include the playing card ranks 10, J, Q, K, A, a futuristic car, an even more futuristic residence, the Robot Butler himself and, lest we forget the real essentials, a pair of AA batteries.
If you get three or more Scattered Tray symbols on the reels from left to right then you will launch a free spins feature. Get the Robot Butler on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously and you will trigger a Robot Butler feature. Both bonus features give you the chance to win big money and a Gamble feature in the main games give you the chance to parlay even modest wins into something much more meaningful.
The other slots game that Microgaming has recently launched is called Arctic Fortune, and it has a ‘frozen wilderness’ theme that involves white wolves, Vikings, treasure maps and a thumping soundtrack which we love. What sets Arctic Fortune apart is that it is a five-reel game but it doesn’t have any traditional pay lines at all. Instead, prizes are won via multiplier combinations, free spins that can be re-triggered and a bonus game. To fully appreciate how all of this works in practice you will need to play the game for yourself, but we can tell you in advance that the concept works very well indeed.
Robot Butler and Arctic Fortune are already live at many casinos powered by Microgaming software, so visit 32Red Casino to try them out and see what you think.
