Microgaming, a leading supplier of award-winning online gaming software to the leading operators around the world, will be releasing a new slot game from Eyecon later this month titled “Bouncy Balls 2”.

The 5×5 grid new slot game is filled with colorful characters and players can win up to 5,000 and 10,000x their stake from the 2 top-tier balls. The bonus round in the slot game comes with a grid that expands after each spin sequence.

‘Bouncy Balls 2” is a lighthearted and fun slot game that comes with an RTP of 95.29 percent.

The Cluster Wins feature is activated by all wins and sees winning symbols removed to make room for new/existing symbols to drop down from above to fill the gaps. Players can get indefinite extra wins per spin as the process repeats as long as new winning clusters keep landing.

The Bonus Round is triggered by racking up a minimum of 3 Bonus Ball scatters in a cascading sequence. This comes with a special PowerUpBall symbol that lands at the end of each cascading sequence and increases the grid from 5×5 to 6×6, 7×7 and finally to 8×8. The bonus round ends when the cascading sequence is finished once the grid is fully expanded to 8×8.

The base game allows players to see some bouncy balls action for a minute or so until the bonus round is triggered.

The perfect scenery then shifts from day to night and the bird in the tree is replaced by a surprised owl.

This week it was the turn of Connecticut to open its legal sports betting market, with players allowed to place bets on sports teams for the first time.

Both Foxwoods Resort Casino and the Mohegan Sun were granted state licenses by the Department of Consumer Protection authority. Players can place bets across professional and collegiate sports events at kiosks and in-person at sportsbook venues at the two casinos. Online sports betting is not currently available in the state.

Foxwoods’ operators, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, has chosen to work with DraftKings, while the Mohegan Tribal Nation has partnered with FanDuel.

“Today we celebrate a new era for our Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, sports fans, Foxwoods guests and Connecticut residents,” said Rodney Butler, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal chairman.

“We have to migrate to sports betting, and we have to get online. Every other industry is going there. Also, we made progress with the last administration and significant progress in retail gaming in the last administration. But under the governor and his vision and understanding of business and the importance of technology and more so now than ever during this pandemic how every industry was moving online,” he added.

Governor Ned Lamont attended ceremonies at both resorts to officially kick off sports betting in the state.
