Stuart: We offer 100 hand Power Poker
Gayle: Can the slot payouts be changed by the online casino?
Stuart: No, they cannot be changed.
Gayle: Are all your progressive jackpots paid in one instalment?
Stuart: Yes, all jackpots won on casinos on our progressive network are paid out through full, direct cash payouts.
Gayle: How many new games do you release per year?
Stuart: We currently release 4 new games per month, but aim the release at a total of 60 in 2006.
Gayle: What are your most popular slots or series currently?
Stuart: Many of our slots are popular across the board, including the progressives where we have paid out over $198m to date. However, we are constantly striving to improve upon this by releasing up to 60 new games in 2006
Gayle: Tell us about other casino software Microgaming offers.
Stuart: Microgaming is constantly expanding its portfolio of games and services and currently has more than 250 games to choose from, allowing players to play every game ‘for fun’ or ‘for real’.
Players are also offered a choice of downloadable or web-based play, while Microgaming Upgrade Protocol (MUP) allows all upgrades to be seamlessly downloaded whilst players enjoy the action.
As well as platforms for casino, Microgaming offers platforms for poker, land-based and wireless gaming too.
Gayle: Tell us about Microgaming: http://www.microgaming.com
Stuart: Since Microgaming developed the first true online casino software over a decade ago, it has led the industry in providing innovative, reliable gaming solutions. Thanks to an unrivalled R&D programme, that averages four new releases a month and an unmatched ‘partnership’ approach to working with operators, Microgaming can be found powering many of the world’s most profitable online casino sites.
Microgaming software also powers the world’s leading poker network - comprising over 40 card rooms and one of the most aggressive tournament schedules on the web.
As a founding member of eCOGRA, Microgaming is also at the forefront of an initiative focused on setting the highest standards in the gaming industry, most notably in the areas of fair gaming, responsible operator conduct and player protection.
I thank Stuart for the interview and would like to emphasis for those casino players who are not aware, eCOGRA is a very important resource. eCOGRA watches out for online players and sets the standards for fair play.
You would be wise to determine if your online casino choice is a member of eCOGRA before playing.

Reel ‘Em In: Big Bass Bucks Wms Gaming, 2-3 spins. 84-95% |
We return to selecting cartoon fishermen to fish for bonuses.
This ‘Reel’ version sports the wild symbol of The Big Fish that will pay when it shows up on the fifth reel.
We move on to the Big Bass Bonus round that can lead to the familiar scene of five fishers- four men and a woman. Look below for the underwater view.
You make your fisher choice, location, your fisher casts away, and your bonus rewards are determined by which fish take the bait.
If the Big Bass is hooked, you are in for a bigger pay and qualify for one of two other bonus rounds. They are Big Bass Fishing Hole Bonus with higher payouts for your fishing selection or the Fishing Contest Bonus where you choose a fisher to enter the contest.
The better your fisher does, the higher the reward.
Reeling in bonus rewards is the reason for the continued popularity of this classic bonus slot.

Top Dollar Video: IGT. 3 spins. 85-94%. |
Moving up is the name of this game as you are offered options to increase bonus credits.
Three or more Top Dollar symbols will trigger the bonus round. Up with the music and the lights as stacks of cash are displayed in the top box concluding with a bonus offering.
You can choose to take a chance on a higher reward up to four times, accepting the final offer.
If the Top Dollar icons appear on two paylines, two bonus rounds follow with a cumulative total.
Winning combinations of red, white and blue 7’s and/or bar symbols presented left and right transform into mounting credits.
For the top, top, top reward, line up five dollar sign symbols at max coin for a generous payday of 250,000 credits.
That’s not only top dollar, but also top drawer!

Where’s The…Gold: Aristocrat. 2 spins. 88%-95% |
Peter Panner and Nugget Ned are two of the mining folk you will meet playing this fun slot. Scatter pay symbols of dynamite symbols will explode leading the way to this gang of miners.
Take your pick and watch them dig for gold nuggets. Free games and Wild Gold symbols are up for grabs as ‘golden credits’ mount.
With several ‘golden’ bonus features, your rewards are sure to ‘pan out’.

Vallerie Ohrt, an Air Force retiree from Shalimar, FL was on her way to Tunica, but decided on a detour to the Silver Star Casino in Philadelphia, MS instead.
Her strategy is, "I always look at the jackpot meter when choosing which machines to play." A second decision to play $100 at a Wheel of Fortune resulted in a new millionaire with a super big hit of a $1,173,178 MegaJackpot.
