Did Arctic Fortune need a few more days in the fridge or to be bathed in lukewarm water before cooked into the tough and inedible slot that it is?

Is Microgaming actually down with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp?

Some of the 3D effects from the holiday feature film “Scrooge” are rubbing off on this new Microgaming slot game for December.

In Alaskan Fishing, play to the sounds of nature and an uplifting tune with piano and guitar, the slots design is appealing from its bait icons to the pictures on the reels.

The Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth slot is a way to reel yourself into a trance of overstimulation, between Microgaming’s yogic space-themed music and the glittering images of cherries and apples on a black background.

A brilliantly rendered, decently-paced game from Microgaming is a sequel just a smidge better than its January predecessor, Liquid Gold.

Into the mines goes this frankly uninspiring 30-payliner from Microgaming. A nice choose-your-win-WILD option is otherwise wasted on a blah slot.

Finally, a game about pre-Columbian American peoples that’s not stupid or overly misrepresentative (chalking up the oversexy titular Mayan Princess herself up to artistic license)! Twenty-payline Mayan Princess is instead loaded with great artwork, not to mention a free spins bonus round which can be retriggered.

"Not so long ago in a galaxy reasonably far away" goes the intro, before our star, the robotic starship captain Bronzebread gets in front of the Star Wars-like titles. Story aside, check out Microgaming’s latest innovation: The “Space Chase” bonus feature consists of six individual games-in-games worth up to 21,000 and 45,000 coins each, but most importantly, the game actually remembers where the player last left his space traveling. Upon the next visit to the far away galaxy, the player may continue in the progression.

The 5-reel 30-payline Adventures of Galactic Gopher seeks to appeal to both cute animal and sci-fi devotees, with the end result looking something like Spongebob Squarepants in Space. Galactic Gopher really gets going during the free spins round with lively bubbly effects and cranked up Star Trek music aplenty.
