The slot machine is the most aggressively changing market in the entire online gambling industry. This is readily seen by the fact that virtually every month some online casinos receive new games, while others receive these games every week. One of the software companies which offers the most hard-hitting rollout of slots, is without a doubt the massive Microgaming, but you could be in for some surprises this Halloween, and so could Microgaming – they should be afraid, very afraid. You on the other hand, may remain calm.
One – meaning me, should never be complacent regarding knowledge of the online gambling industry and what games are available for play, one little discovery made last week had me cringing in shock and horror.
Every Halloween season a spooktacular slot machine is released, sometimes there are more than one, but very few fall under the heading “spooktacular”. When I saw that Microgaming had released Bitten™ I immediately threw caution to the wind and assumed that this would be the slot machine, to end all slots machines for the witching season. My narrow-mindedness had me declaring to myself “this is a Microgaming offering, it is obviously the best!” I was dead wrong in this assumption, because then I discovered Blood Suckers™.
There are a ton of sites sporting the Microgaming slot machine, and after Lord of the Rings, how could they possibly be wrong about anything?
Net Entertainment I discovered quite by accident, is the software provider for Victor Chandler Casino. I had kind of heard of it, but not thought much about it. When scanning the games at Victor Chandler and getting in to the spirit of things, I suddenly came upon Blood Suckers™ and gave the game a play. This game offers blood pumping action and fabulous prizes too, and the graphics are so much more “graphic” and more original than Bitten™. These vampires are vying to be the best and I know this is a matter of opinion, but if Blood Suckers™ is kept a secret, you won’t know what you are missing.
The other thing that is of so much importance, and this so much more than an undead themed slot machine; is the fact that Net Entertainment has been granted the first Category 2 License from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Now this should get Microgamings’ blood running cold, it means Net Entertainment are the first Alderney Licensee which may sell disaster recovery to their online casino clients. Add this to the fact that they are licensed in Malta to also provide these services, and the fact that online casinos have massive values at stake if; the good Lord forbids, a disaster should strike, or a bat should fly into the works; and Net Entertainment now has massive value as a selling point for their technological expertise.
