The Argyle Open Tournament Slot Upgrade
Golfing season has begun, and while golfers golf and fans watch the progress of the major golf tournaments, Microgaming has made sure to join in the action. Players at online casinos can also enjoy taking part in a golf tournament since Microgaming has released The Argyle Open tournament slot upgrade. The Argyle Open is already a popular golfing themed video slot game at Microgaming powered online casinos. In line with the Microgaming policy to not only release brand new slots each month, the gaming software company is also upgrading established slots in order to use them as multi-player tournament slots.
The Argyle Open Slot Game
The Argyle Open video slot game is a five reel slot that is played with 40 paylines. The special bonus game is triggered when players see at least three scatter symbols on the reels. The golf-themed slot game comes with a special tournament bonus that is divided into three stages. When this bonus feature has been triggered, players get to make a choice of one golfer out of five. These pro-golfers each need to take a shot at a single hole. The player that manages to get the ball in the hole with as few putts as possible is the winner. In order to be awarded with the largest possible amount of free spins, the player's chosen golfer needs to win with the least strokes possible. The free spins feature offers up to a maximum of 20 free spins that come with a 5x multiplier. The bonus can be triggered multiple times, and each time that it is triggered, the golf pros will move to another hold on the golf course.
While The Argyle Open tournament slot upgrade went live towards the end of August, it is being used as the special tournament slot for the first time this month. September's $100,000 network tournament gives players the chance to try out this slot as a tournament slot game. Players need to pay a $10 entry fee to enter the September tournament. The top 50 finishers will take home prizes in cash, with the winner taking home $5,000.
Microgaming Comments on Tournament Slot Release
"For us, it's all about timely content; delivering games to our operators' players that will get them excited and keep them engaged," said James Ford, Microgaming's Product Manager for multi-player games.
Ford continued: "September holds one of the biggest tournaments in the golfing calendar, so what better time to deliver The Argyle Open tournament slot and the associated $100,000 network tournament! You don't have to be at Gleneagles to be a part of the golfing action!"
