The Swedish online casino games developer NetEnt has launched a new release based on Asia. The game, a video slot named Imperial Riches™, takes players to the Far East and into a very scenic Chinese garden.
Imperial Riches is made up of 5 reels and 3 rows and comes complete with the Avalanche™ feature, where symbols drop into place on the reels rather than being spun.
The new feature is triggered by a winning bet line. Every symbol drops into a winning combination other than the scatter symbols, and the avalanche continues through to the last of the wins.
Bonus games
The bonus game Free Falls is activated when three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels at the same time.
Free Falls gives players the chance to collect jewels in the Lucky Pond and to unlock the jackpot if the Bonus Fish eat three or more jewels.
Jackpots
Imperial Riches has two fixed-value jackpots and three progressive jackpots, giving players plenty of chances to win big.
In an official press release, NetEnt’s Director of Games Bryan Upton said: “This game is packed with features. We are continuing with our Jackpot successes this year, with Imperial Riches™ but with our Avalanche™ mechanic.
“The 3 stage nested bonuses give players a chance to experience the Free Falls game, collecting jewels from wins for entry into another coin win feature and then a Jackpot bonus game.
“The chance to win one of five realistically priced jackpots and the beautiful, authentic Asian artwork and theme makes this game speak the promise of fortune for players across the board.”
August launches
NetEnt has been busy over the summer; it also launched a full selection of games in New Jersey for online casino DraftKings players.
Erik Nyman, Managing Director of NetEnt Americas LLC said: “Players in the US can also look forward to a very exciting roadmap of games to be launched during the rest of the year and beyond”.
The company has additionally introduced a sequel to the highly popular Butterfly Staxx 2™, which includes new pick-and-click features and multiple play areas.
The 5-reel, 4-row, 40-fixed line video slot allows players to unlock up to three different areas of the game with just one bet. The reels in each play area spin independently and simultaneously.
It also contains a brand-new bonus game, Butterfly Frenzy, which consists of five stages with each giving ‘butterfly picks’ to the player.
The player can then choose butterflies which, in turn, will reward them with coins.
Bryan Upton said: “Butterfly Staxx 2 is a true sequel to the highly successful Butterfly Staxx.
“It takes a familiar, powerful mechanic that has been amplified to meet the voracious player expectations of today.
“This game shows the industry needs all different types of games and this is all about player entertainment and stickiness.”
He described the new launch that went live last month as ‘another modern-day classic in the making’.
