Coming July 8: Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders, Jolly Jester

One of those players who wants the newest game as soon as it happens? Mark your calendars, then, for July 8: Microgaming’ll be releasing two online slots.

Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders sounds like a combination of at least two familiar concepts, but from the company’s description, this five-reeler actually sounds like Indiana Jones vs. Donkey Kong:

Your mission in this game is to help Duzi in his Quest for Big Kahuna's Golden mask. The player's mission is to progress from level to level using the ladders as a booster, but watch out for the crafty snakes as they will only take your players down.

“Snakes ... Why did it have to be snakes?”

The 5-reel 25-payline Jolly Jester, meanwhile promises a bit of time travel, “placing you in medieval times in the King and Queen's castle where you can enjoy the Court Jester's amusing antics and make a tidy profit along the way.” Said amusing antics referred to are most likely the bonuses gotten from the WILD trickster; “pulse-racing winning combinations” ensue.

All three games are due for release on July 8. Most Microgaming online casinos will put up Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders and Jolly Jester automatically upon their release; check out Golden Tiger, Gaming Club, Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget or River Belle on that (hopefully) Lucky Tuesday.
