Preview: The Adventures of Galactic Gopher
Microgaming, which cranks out the new games by the truckload these days, announces the release of two online slots scheduled for release next week:
The Adventures of Galactic Gopher and Stash of the Titans.
The 5-reel 30-payline
Galactic Gopher seeks to appeal to both the cute animal crowd and the high-concept space game devotees, with an end result graphically looking something like a science-fiction version of Spongebob Squarepants. The space-traveling Gopherus polyphemus inhabits a universe populated by bizarre aliens, a starwoman of whose company James T. Kirk might enjoy, and an alien antennaed A-K-Q-J-10-9 run. Key symbols are the starship SCATTER and the WILD title character.
Multiple SCATTERs naturally trigger a free spins round, the number of which is determined randomly up to 10. Plus, there’s that evermore popular “guess-the-suit” double (remember the LCD tip: Take red. It’s always red.) and the vicious quadruple bonus game.
