"Badbeat.com is helping me achieve my potential by giving me the financial backing and mentoring. I'm already playing some of the best games on a nightly basis."

Davie continues by expressing his gratitude to his Badbeat.com mentor Darren Hedley, "My mentor had a big part to play in my score, as I was having a tough time at the tables leading up to this result, but he kept reassuring me my luck would change sooner rather than later.

MICROGAMING ANNOUNCES NEW GAMES FOR MAY 2012

Posted: 30 Apr 2012 01:30 AM PDT

ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming, the world's largest provider of online gaming software, is today announcing a spectacular selection of new games for May. It is launching the exciting new game Untamed – Bengal Tiger, along with 5 other flash games.

Untamed – Bengal Tiger, is an entertaining new 5 Reel, 243 Way Video Slot that is set to drive gamers wild. This compelling new slot is set in the natural habitat of one of the world's most endangered species, the Bengal Tiger, and it introduces a host of innovative features to enhance the gaming experience while ensuring it is still entertaining and rewarding. The main game has 3 new bonus features, including the Collect-A-Wild, Lucky Nudge and the Your Gamble features.

With Collect-A-Wild, when 4 wilds have been collected on the counters by a player, the entire reel will turn Wild on the next spin and remain Wild for the duration of 4 spins. Up to 5 reels can turn Wild, which hugely increases the player's chances to win big!  Another feature which players can use to their advantage are the scatter symbols which peek from just above or below the reel edges. If there are 2 other scatters on the reels, there is a possibility that the peeking scatter may nudge on to the screen and trigger the Free Spins feature.  This feature includes the already familiar and well received Trailing Wilds feature, leaving wilds on screen as they slide down the reels.

The final feature, Your Gamble, has a highly innovative function which allows players to adjust their gamble odds, according to their preference.  It also allows players to gamble a single win as many times as they like, while still allowing players' to bank a portion of the win. As long as a player has a win amount in the win box, they can gamble all or a portion of it. This feature will offer a new and exciting way for players to adjust their gamble odds. The combination of all these features makes Untamed – Bengal Tiger a wild territory definitely not to be left unexplored.

Untamed – Bengal Tiger will be available on Microgaming's Flash & Viper platforms. Around the World is a 5 reel 20 line slot that challenges players to explore the globe and collect treasures along the way. This interactive game will take players through multiple game playing environments and allow them to gamble for big rewards in a fast-paced and challenging bonus game. Players will be able to find their way to winnings by using the 3 to 5 scattered compasses on the reels and reaching a high flying 32 times bonus multiplier. No other game offers huge cash prizes and the chance to travel the world at the same time.

Around the World will be available on Microgaming's Flash platform. Magic Boxes is an enchanting 25 Line 5 reel video game which invites players to step into a world of illusion that conjures up many magical prizes. The game features colourful and entertaining graphics, with light hearted tunes. Magic Boxes' main attraction is its Free Games feature triggered by 3 or more magic 8-balls anywhere on the reels. During Free Games, if any of the colourful magic boxes appear, gamers have their win multiplied and have the option to gamble their winnings via the Double Up feature. Magic Boxes will have players hoping that, rather than a rabbit, magician's will be pulling cash prizes out of the hat!

Magic Boxes will be available on Microgaming's Flash platform. Fat Lady Sings is the latest musical 25 line slot from Microgaming. The famous phrase "it ain't over until the fat lady sings" rings true in this addition to Microgaming's May games.
