This week, Microgaming will be releasing three new mobile pokies. Couch Potato, Pure Platinum and 5 Reel Drive will run on HTML5, making them available for all types of tablet computers and smartphones. HTML5 is a relatively new coding language that allows gaming developers to create Flash programs using a basic language.
iOS devices do not support Flash, so developers previously had to create two different programs for Apple devices and Android devices. Now, this is no longer an issue, and developers can create cross-platform applications that all types of mobile users can enjoy.
“HTML5 technology has allowed us to develop games that can be played on the broadest range of devices, without compromising the audio-visual qualities, reads a statement from Neil Whyte of Microgaming. “We have invested a lot of time and resources in developing our market-leading HTML5 platform, and we will continue to do so in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of the mobile gaming market.”
The three games that been released are highly popular in the online casino world. So, it makes sense that Microgaming would release them for mobile devices. Online pokies that are high in demand would naturally perform well as mobile games, and Microgaming recognizes this potential. 5 Reel Drive is a basic online pokie with 5 reels and 9 paylines.
It features a racing theme, and awards players with its generous scatter wins and wild symbols. Pure Platinum is a more advanced online pokie, which offers up 40 paylines of excitement. The game provides a generous bonus round, in which up to 50 free spins can be won and plenty of multipliers can be triggered. Couch Potato is new to Microgaming’s collection of online pokies, but it is becoming a fan favourite.
Due to its 15 000-credit jackpot and vibrant theme, players are flocking to this game.
