Microgaming has scored an exclusive supply deal with Nordic igaming studio Snowborn Games, making the developer’s first title, The Vault, available exclusively to the entire Isle of Man-based gambling software company’s network via the Quickfire distribution platform from April 28, 2020.
The new Stockholm and Helsinki-based studio is positioned to create “analytics-based games” designed to provide gaming experiences that are both unique and customized. Comprised of experienced and knowledgable professionals, the Snowborn Games team possess a “passion for building cutting-edge, high-quality content.”
Ultimate heist:
This five-reel, three-row, 20 paylines video slot centers around a burglar named Jewel, who is planning the ultimate heist on a high tech vault housed within a swanky Parisian art gallery where the world’s largest diamond, “The Pink Dawn” is locked away.
The very high volatility online slot’s regular pay symbols include the low paying 10-A royals, and the theme-inspired premiums, which are gold bars, a diamond case, a jewel, and a pink diamond, which is, of course, the highest paying. Players landing five of these big pink gems can earn 100x their stake, which is four times that of the symbol that precedes it in value.
Game features:
Along with unique and modern visuals, the online slot offers two types of Wilds, one that substitutes for an symbol except for bonus symbols, the other, which appears during the Vault Bonus round, as well as?Vault Bonus Freespins and a Respin feature.
The latter is triggered by collecting a minimum of two bonus symbols, During this feature, the bonus symbols stay locked in place while the reels spin. On each respin, further respins are awarded by landing one or more bonus symbols and will keep coming until no additional symbols appear of the Vault is triggered. When that happens, 10 free spins are awarded and a 3x multiplier initially, with free spins and multipliers potentially added during the bonus round.
