Microgaming gaming studios is a huge behemoth in the casino world, with more games coming out every month than most.
But you probably don’t know that because the games come out under different names. That’s because Microgaming have exclusive rights to some of the best newcomer slots, and they’ve also bought out a few smaller gaming studios.
So you may not recognise all the names here, but they have the official Microgaming stamp of approval, which makes it worth glancing a quick eye over and maybe pick a couple of favourites.
Fiery Kirin by 2×2 Gaming
What is a Kirin? Sometimes spelt qilin, or kirin in Japanese, it’s a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese and Asian culture, but in this case with a very Japanese feel.
Fiery Kirin is a 243 ways to win slot, where if the wild lands on reel 3 of this 5 reel game, the middle three reels will expand by one symbol turning this into a 576 ways to win game.
Beautiful Asian Japanese themed slot game, we think this theme and game mechanics will make Fiery Kirin slot stand out form the pack.
Fiery Kirin slot is released on the 3rd of July
- 96.03% RTP
- High Volatility
- Min/Max Bet: 0.30-30.00
- 243 ways to win slot that increases to 576 ways to win
- 5 Reel Slot with free spins, wild reels, expanding wilds, scatters and expanding reels
How much are we looking forward to this? Well, we are intrigued enough that it’s on our ‘to play’ list at the beginning of the month.
Sherlock of London by Rabcat
Rabcat create beautiful slots, with some of the most amazing graphics from Robin of Sherwood slot to Gnome Wood game.
So you know this Sherlock of London game will be a good looking 5 reel slot machine with 25 fixed betline and a low minimum bet of 0.25 a spin. But it also has a whole host of intriguing features to discover.
Like connecting wilds – so if two wilds land on the base game you’ll get a trail of wilds following between them. You’ll also find free spins where high paying symbol turn wild – but will you get the wins you need?
Sherlock of London comes out on the 10th July
- 96.03% RTP
- Medium Volatility
- Min/Max Bet: 0.25 – 50.00
- 25 fixed paylines over 5×3 reels
- Bonus features include connecting wilds, expanding wilds, extra wilds, scatters and free spin bonus games.
How much are we looking forward to this game? Honestly, we have mixed feelings about Rabcat slot machines. They are beautiful, but they don’t always create the biggest wins.
So one for us to check out because we have to, and for you to come back to read our Sherlock of London slot review to find out if you need to play.
Magic of Sahara by All41 Studios
All41Studios is so small, this Magic of Sahara slot wouldn’t even be on our radar if Microgaming wasn’t showcasing it to us as one to watch.
Magic of Sahara is a 9 payline slot with wilds, scatters and free spins with a 2x multiplier on all the wins.
Sounds familiar? That’s because it’s very similar to so many older Microgaming games out there like the original Thunderstruck, the famous Agent Jane Blonde and the Ladies Nite slot.
It will also, by default, be the new July 2019 slot with the lowest minimum bet.
Magic of Sahara slot release is on 17th July
- 95.29% RTP
- Medium Volatility
- Min/Max Bet: 0.09 – 45.00
- 09 paylines over 5×3 reels
- Bonus features wilds, scatters, free spins and multipliers
Will this Magic of Sahara video slot be as good as the originals? There’s hope. The graphics look really dated if we are honest, but if the mechanics are as good as the games that inspire it, it may be worth playing.
BreakAway Deluxe by Stormcraft
Now, this is interesting. The Microgaming BreakAway slot was fun enough, but was it a breakaway success that it deserves a sequel?
We didn’t think so, but looking at the stats behind the game, it’s by far the most interesting one on our list. With 5 reels, you get to choose whether you want 18, 38, 68 and 88 paylines over 5 rows of symbols, all around the great game of ice hockey.
It’s interesting, and we didn’t even mention the cascading wins and increasing multiplier trail.
Breakaway Deluxe slot will be out on the 23rd July
- 96.88% RTP
- High Volatility
- Min/Max Bet: 0.18 – 44.00
- 5×5 grid slot with a choice of 18 – 88 paylines
- You get cascading reels, with symbols replacing the winning symbols, wild reels, free spins with huge multipliers.
Out of all the new slot releases for July, we are most excited for this BreakAway Deluxe slot game. We like the big win potential, the cascading reels, and more importantly… the unique feel to this real money game.
Queen of the Crystal Rays by Crazy Tooth Studios
Out of all the casino slots on our list, this is the one we can’t quite figure out if we are going to love or hate.
Queen of the Crystal Rays slot has 6 reels and 4 rows of symbols with 50 paylines, except you get wins whenever the symbols are adjacent to each other, not just on a payline left to right.
Then you get Crystal Ray feature which doubles the number of rows, adds extra wilds and gives you multipliers. It’s a bit crazy, with lots of neon colours and big reels. It’s going to either be amazing or terrible.
Queen of the Crystal Rays released date 31st July
- 96.70% RTP
- Medium Volatility
- Min/Max Bet: 0.20 – 50.00
- 6×4 slot with 50 paylines that expands from 6 reels to 8 rows.
- You get free spins, wilds, scatters, multipliers and expanding symbols
We don’t know what to make of this Queen of the Crystal Rays slot, so we are going to wait until the 31st of July to figure out what we make of this.
At least, we can say for certain, this July 2019 is not a boring month for new casino slot games. And the best casino to celebrate all that Microgaming has to offer is Grand Mondial casino who give you bonus spins on Mega Moolah slot when you sign up.
Because you might as well enjoy the best of the best whilst you wait for these new games to show up on your radars.
