Real 3D Slot Game from Microgaming

Microgaming has just released a real 3D slot game. This would not be a slot game with 3D graphics. It would be like the experience of watching 3D movies in theatres or on television using special eyewear. The suspense and the wait are over. The 3D slot game, Sterling Silver, will go live at Microgaming online casinos early in June 2011.

Jackpot City online casino is one of the first to announce this new slot game. The Jackpot City news release refers to this innovative slot game as 3D Stereo Slot to differentiate it from the normal 3D online slots. It describes the game as having "super-realistic and definitely stand-out graphics". The press release adds, "We'll provide the eyewear you'll need to thoroughly enjoy this innovative way of creating in-game ambience, so get ready to enjoy the truly outstanding visuals of silver ingots and coins."

Sterling Silver is not a new title as such at Microgaming online casinos. The regular version is in fact quite popular and 3D Sterling Silver will build up on that. The Sterling Silver logo does a fantastic job as the wild symbol. It appears stacked on the central reel and as a result creates many more winning combinations. It also acts as a multiplier. The multiplier is not fixed but may take a random value from 2x to 10x. The scatter symbol is equally attractive. Three such symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 10 times the total bet and also 15 free spins with doubled payouts. Players also have the option of initiating the Microgaming gamble game after any payout. This game enables players to try and double or quadruple their payouts by guessing the color or the suit of the next card.

The payout table of 3D Sterling Silver can be deceptive at first. The highest fixed jackpot payout is only 1,000 coins. But in online slot games most combinations are made with the help of wild symbols and in 3D Sterling Silver the wild symbol can multiply payouts up to 10 times. Hence the jackpot payout can be 10,000 coins. With 5 coins wagered it pays out 50,000 coins and at maximum coin size of 0.25 this converts to 12,500 credits. All this is in the base game. In the free spins everything is doubled so the maximum payout from a single payline win is 25,000 credits.

Sterling Silver is not the only precious metal themed slot game at Microgaming online casinos. There is Liquid Gold and Pure Platinum. Whether Microgaming will later be releasing real 3D versions of these slot games it is not known. Maybe they will take a call after the response to 3D Sterling Silver.
