Understanding Microgaming Power Spins Online Slots

 

Everyone knows that the faint heart never won the fair lady. In the same way, in certain online slot games you will never win the big payouts if you do not have the daring to place the additional bets. One such series of slot machines has been released by the leading online casino software provider Microgaming with the sub title Power Spins. The defining aspect of these three slot games is the Power Spins feature, which can be activated by wagering an extra amount for the chance of winning larger payouts.

The first Power Spins video slot was Sonic 7. The symbols like 7s, bars, cherries and bell have been taken from classic slots but have been given a steely blue appearance in keeping with the sci-fi theme. The Sonic logo is the wild symbol. In order to activate the Power Spins feature you have to play all the 9 paylines and bet an extra amount equal to three times the line bet. With this feature enabled, each wild symbol on the reels independently doubles the payouts. Therefore if there are three wild symbols then the payout will be multiplied six times. The maximum multiplier can be eight times.

The second slot game of the Power Spins series was titled Atomic 8s. The similar classic slots symbols have been used, but have been given a flaming background. The Atomic logo is the wild symbol and the Radioactive sign is the scatter symbol. The optional Power Spins feature is activated in the same manner. In Atomic 8s, the winning combinations can then pay both left to right and right to left.

The third slot game of the Power Spins series was titled Nuclear 9s. The same classic slot symbols are depicted against a background of deep green. The Nuclear logo is the wild symbol. The nucleus of the atom is the scatter symbol. In the Nuclear 9s Power Spins feature all symbols in winning combinations fade away and new symbols fall down to fill the empty spots. This process keeps on repeating without any extra bets until no winning combinations are formed. Each time the process repeats the payout multiplier will increase by 1.

The Power Spins are live at all Microgaming online casinos such as Spin Palace, Royal Vegas and Golden Riviera. You can play these games in the demo mode, with and without activating the Power Spins feature before taking a call with real money wagering. You will find that the volatility added through the feature is exciting and will pay if you persist.
