Pokies are no longer casino games that you play on your own without sharing the experience with others. Nowadays, playing pokies online is a much more social experience, especially with the constant addition of new tournament pokies from companies like Microgaming. This week, Microgaming has added one new game to its selection of multi-player tournament pokies, Sweet Harvest.

Microgaming tournament pokies are games that have been designed for multi-player gaming. They are optimised for use in tournaments so that players can quickly wager their tournament chips and have their totals count towards the leaderboard. The Sweet Harvest online pokie has been around for over year, as Microgaming first released the title in 2013.

Thanks to its simple format, generous prizes and vibrant graphics, the game became a big hit among players. So, it was only natural that it was the next Microgaming title to be equipped with multiplayer functionality. Sweet Harvest is currently being featured in Microgaming’s August Accumulator tournament. Players spend just $1 to enter to earn their share of a $500 prize pool, which increases as players rebuy back into the comp.

There are 150 prizes up for grabs as players. “We’ve had a busy few months with multi-player,” says James Ford of Microgaming. “Not only have we continued with our monthly new games releases, such as the Sweet Harvest tournament slot, but we’ve also had one of our biggest ever multi-player tournaments, Reels de Janeiro".

The huge turnout for Microgaming’s Reel de Janeiro tournament illustrates just how big of a market multi-player pokies are. Multiplayer pokie tournaments are becoming hugely popular in the online casino world. They add a fun, social dynamic the usually private experience of playing single-player pokies online.
