MicroGaming Video Slots
MicroGaming's main slot category is video slots. It offers more than 120 different kinds of video slots, with anything between 5 and 50 paylines. Regarding the number of paylines, most slot machines are somewhere in between, with 90% of the machines offering either 9, 15, 20 or 25 paylines.
Several factors contribute to MicroGaming's current trend as a hot video slot developer today. The primary reasons are superb graphics, a huge variation, and the high entertainment-factor of most of its machines. There is a nice mix of simple slots and advanced versions with bonus games, free spins and the like.
To illustrate the diversity of MicroGaming's video slots, I'll try to present some of the different varieties and show how they work:
World Cup Mania
World cup Mania is a video slot machine with 15 paylines and a soccer theme that lets you relive some of the energy and excitement of the World Cup. The game lets you win up to 7,500 times your wager! To further spice up the game, MicroGaming has added both bonus games and free spins. If you catch three or more free kick symbols in a row, a bonus game is triggered and you could win up to 2,500 times the wager. If three or more whistles show up on the screen on the other hand, it's time to collect your free spins. You get 10 free spins, and anything you win is multiplied by 3. Free spins can also be re-activated, and there is no telling how much you could win.

Cashville
Cashville is a video slot with a pretty simple theme, but several interesting features nonetheless. Among other things, this 20-payline slot offers one of the largest single payouts aside from progressive jackpot slots. You could win up to an incredible 50,000 times the wager if you catch five Wild symbols. This is one of the largest MicroGaming jackpots in all categories, but that's not all - there's also a bonus game in which you choose one out of four different characters and play for the big bucks. The only drawback is the lack of free spins, which are usually present in today's video slots.

Loaded
If you like Hip Hop and the prospect of a 25 payline video slot, you should give Loaded a try. The theme of this slot machine is the world of Hip Hop music and everything that comes with it. Beautiful women, fast cars, and everyday extravagance are all the rage in this game. The best quality of Loaded is perhaps the abundance of free spins. You may choose between 12 free spins with a 4 multiplier, 18 free spins with a 3 multiplier, or 24 free spins with a 2 multiplier. All of the free spins are multiplied one way or the other, often with big wins as a direct consequence.

Tomb Raider - Secret of the Sword
The big news of 2008 was the release of Tomb Raider 2 - Secret of the Sword. It's a brand new video slot that takes overall game play to a whole new level. Tomb Raider introduces a number of new features to the video slot genre. Super Mode is one of these features, and during this mode, you get five free spins - if you catch any of a number of different wild symbols, heroine Lara Croft will make an appearance to shoot them down, and you get to keep the symbols for the duration of the free spins. This could lead to some serious winnings! The bonus game in Tomb Raider is a bit unusual; to activate it you need to collect five special symbols during your playing session, and when the bonus game activates, you get to perform different missions in various parts of the world. If you succeed with the missions, the reward could be massive. There are also a number of other modes and bonus features waiting to be activated, and altogether, this could be the best video slot of the year and it comes highly recommended!
