With the golfing season currently in full swing, Microgaming, one of the leading suppliers of online casino software in the industry, has taken the Argyle Open golf themed video slot game that was originally launched at its online casinos in 2010 and developed it for tournament play.
The five- reel and 40 pay line The Argyle Open video slot game centers on a three stage tournament bonus that is triggered by three or more scatter symbols. Players are required to choose from one of five pro-golfers to take to the green to play one hole once the tournament bonus is triggered with the aim of putting the hole in as few strokes as possible in order to achieve maximum free spins. Players can achieve up to 20 free spins with a 5x multiplier and get to move to the next hole on the course whenever the bonus is triggered.
The Argyle Open tournament slot went live on 20th August, 2014 and Microgaming is using the slot for this month’s €100,000 network tournament. Players can obtain entry into this challenge for a mere Є10 in order to stand in line to be one of the top 50 players to win a cash prize. Microgaming will be awarding the champion with an amount of €5,000.
According to James Ford, the Product Manager for Microgaming’s multi-player games, it is all about timely content for them to deliver games to their operators’ players that will get them excited and keep them engaged. Ford added that September holds one of the biggest tournaments in the golfing calendar and that this is, therefore, the best time to deliver The Argyle Open tournament slot and the associated €100,000 network tournament.
