Microgaming's early 2020 slot release schedule is hugely promising

February may well be the shortest month of the year but that doesn't mean that you can't get a lot done during what is a 29-day month this year.

Microgaming, the Isle of Man-based software development company have released their schedule of games set to be revealed over the course of the month and the sheer number and array of games already released and coming over the next couple of weeks, is amazing.

Over the last few years, Microgaming have signed a number of deals with other software development studios around the world to produce content exclusively for them and now the fruits of that endeavour are starting to show, with the provider lining up a massive release schedule of games over the course of the year, with over 340 releases slated for 2020 in total.

So with that in mind, what does the month of February hold in store for Microgaming fans eager to try out their new wares?

11^th February - Wheel of Wishes Released

Last week, the Wheel of Wishes slot hit casinos on general release after a limited release across selected casinos. The game is a brand-new progressive jackpot slot which comes with Microgaming's largest ever seeded prize of 2 million for the Wowpot jackpot, plus a 50,000 seeded prize for the Major jackpot (which was won just a couple of days after the general release date by one lucky player).

The 5x3 reel slot also offers smaller Mini and Minor progressive prizes which are won much more frequently as well as the chance to win a decent amount in the standard game. The slot can be played in two modes, standard and Power Mode, with the latter being 10x more expensive than a standard spin, but which also offers players the chance to trigger the Jackpot Bonus Wheel game on every spin.

This is the first big Microgaming progressive to be released for many years that has its own standalone big money progressive prize and as such, we are expecting it to become one of the most played games of the year alongside games like the Mega Moolah slot and Major Millions slot, both of which also have multiple million jackpots at the time of writing.

18^th February - Seven 7s by Crazy Tooth Studios to be released

Following on from their release of the games Arctic Valor, Queen of the Crystal Rays and last month's unusual the Incredible Balloon Machine game (I can't really call it a slot), Crazy Tooth Studio are set to release their latest game under the deal with Microgaming this coming week, Seven 7s.

This highly volatile slot features just one single pay line and can be played from 0.20 per spin up to 10.00 per spin, with the chance to win 25,000x your bet. The game features a new CONTINUWIN feature, which we are excited to learn more about when it is released, as well as the chance to win a 2x multiplier on some wins.

20^th February - Wonder Woods by Just For The Win hits Casinos

One of the older suppliers of games for Microgaming, Just For The Win have produced a large number of slot games over the years for the company and their latest release, due to be released on Thursday is the Wonder Woods slot.

This is a 5x3 reel game that features 20 pay lines in play and it is set against the backdrop of a rather enchanting looking woodland. The base game sees the woods during the day time but trigger the bonus game and this turns into night. The game can be played from 0.10 up to 100.00 per spin and it is a medium variance slot.

The symbols, including the Wild are stacked on the reels, so it is possible to win across a number of pay lines and you can win between 8 and 12 Free Spins in the base game. With a top prize of 400x your bet on a standard spin, we are looking to see what this particular set of Woods will offer us when we get to review the game in full.

25^th February - Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah gets a General Release

Although it has been available in a small number of casinos since January 2020, the brand-new Mega Moolah-powered progressive jackpot game, Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot, gets a general release into casinos on the 25^th February this year.

This is exciting news as the Atlantean Treasures slot combines the game play of popular slots like Aurora Wilds and Banana Odyssey, with expanding Wilds, re-spins and 10 pay lines across which you can win both ways, together with a shot to land the incredible Mega Moolah's Mega Jackpot progressive prize, which at the time of writing stands at nearly 9 million!

Featuring colourful symbols on the reels, a rather fetching look and a novel way to increase your chances of landing a shot at the jackpot bonus wheel, the Atlantean Treasures slot looks set to be one of the biggest and most important releases of the year and could help that Mega Moolah progressive jackpot swell to even greater amounts, even more quickly.

27^th February - Space Enigma blasts off in late February from All41 Studios

Speaking of 10-pay line slots that allow the opportunity to win both ways across the reels, as well as Expanding Wilds and re-spins, that is precisely what you are going to get with All41 Studios newest release slot Space Enigma when it hits casinos at the end of the month with a 27^th February release date scheduled.

This is a medium volatility slot which will see players head off into space on a mission to locate a huge fortune. What other enigmas and lifeforms will you encounter when you blast off on this slot late this month?
