Microgaming launches Hot as Hades slot

Online gambling software provider Microgaming has announced the imminent launch of its latest online slot, titled Hot as Hades.

The new game is a 5 x 3 reel, 20 line slot, with a tongue-in-cheek theme based on Greek mythology. Hades, with his flaming hair and cheeky grin, takes centre stage as he embarks on an adventure to Mount Olympus with his three-headed sidekick, Cerberus.

Winning opportunities for players include the super mode free spins feature, triggered at random in the base game. Five free spins are delivered with three held wilds at a 2x multiplier.

Three or more scatter symbols trigger the Quest for the Crystal Helm, a pick-bonus trail offering the possibility of wins of up to 100,000 coins. During the five-level bonus feature, Hades must outsmart Medusa, Poseidon and Zeus to uncover the Crystal Helm.

Hades’ journey to each destination takes the form of a mini-film. Featuring 3D graphics and animations, the slot additionally features soundtrack and varying orchestral scores during the bonus rounds, adding depth to the game and enhancing cvharacter portrayal.

Official launch date at Microgaming operators with download, Flash and Quickfire games is July 8th.

Microgaming is launching the updated HD version of its popular Chainmail slot on the same day, which will have added features for online punters.

The company has also announced that two new mobile slots – Party Island and Supe It Up – will be launched in July.
