Microgaming may have been silent in May because they were developing a new feature. Then again they have developed new features and still released new online slots games in the past.
The new Microgaming feature is called Power Spins and it looks like it will be a part of a new online slots game to be released next month. Not that next month is all that far away.
I have mixed feelings about this new Power Spins feature. New is often a big draw with online slots players. It is a shiny new toy. But on the smart hand, slots players need to be aware of the shiny new toy to make sure it will not be a hazard in disguise for them.
Here is the way Power Spins works: when the feature becomes active it will take an extra three times the line bet and add it to the total wager.
Let’s use the upcoming new online slots game Sonic 7s as our example since it will be offering the Power Spins feature. Sonic 7s has nine paylines. So if a slots player was wagering ten cents per payline, it makes a total wager of 90 cents. If the Power Spins feature becomes active it will take an additional 30 cents from the player’s bankroll for the spins on which the feature is active. This means your regular 90 cent wager just became $1.20 per spin on a Power Spin.
It is undisclosed at this time what triggers the Power Spin feature. But if there is no way for a player to control whether or not the feature can be activated, it seems like a kind of sneaky trick on how to wiggle a little more out of online slots players.
My advice to all of you players who can play in Microgaming online casinos, be a bit cautious in your approach to this new online slots game—perhaps start out wagering small until you get a better understanding of how the feature is triggered.
