Multi-Player Gaming for Slots Players
Multi-player gaming for slots players has finally arrived with a brand new title from Microgaming that looks set to change the nature of online slots gaming forever. Online poker, bingo, blackjack and roulette players have long been able to enjoy the benefits of multi-player gaming, leaving slots enthusiasts feeling more than a little out in the cold. But now a Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth Special Edition has been launched, and online slots have suddenly taken a quantum leap forward that brings the slots experience right up to date.
The ability to hold conversations with other people who are playing the same online slots game means that slots can develop the same sense of community and socialising that other games already have. Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth is played in virtual rooms, and each room has six of the games installed. You are assigned a seat in one of the rooms when you choose to play the game, and although most players will be quite happy with that random allocation, there is a feature which allows you to change slot machines or rooms at the click of a button.
The Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth Special Edition can be played at online casinos that are powered by Microgaming software, such as 32Red Casino. It has 5 reels and 25 pay lines, and when you play the game you are able to win prizes on your own machine as well as hold conversations with the other Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth players in the same room. But the real gem is that the game also has a social prize element: the Wheel of Wealth itself.
When the Wheel of Wealth is triggered (something that happens at random) players who have collected multiplier points from their own machine are able to participate in the bonus game. Each player gets a position on the wheel, which is then spun. The participating players then receive bonus prizes according to where the wheel stops. It is this social prize element of the game that makes Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth Special Edition a genuinely communal experience.
The good news for slots players is that Microgaming intend to continue pursuing the social aspect of online casino games in at least some of its future slots releases. We can’t speculate here about what form those new releases will take, or whether they will be brand new titles or multi-player versions of existing games. What we can say is that that the future for slots players who like the new multi-player approach is looking very bright indeed.
