Online Slots Infiltrate Bingo Industry

Online slots are slowly becoming a part of the online bingo community, especially in Europe where both games are very popular.
 
Microgaming, one of the most popular online casino software providers, introduced five bingo side games this month. While side games are usually scratchcards and card games, Microgaming is beginning to incorporate online slots into online bingo industry, and bingo players are excited about the new trend.
 
The purpose of side games is to keep players occupied while they are waiting for the next bingo game to start or for the next number to be called. Bingo operators were concerned about maintaining players’ interest in the casino so that they would not take their business elsewhere and this is Microgaming’s solution to the problem.
 
Hellboy is one of the side game options. Based on the popular comic book character, it will be the first time a Marvel slot machine is featured as a bingo side game. It is your basic, run of the mill hero versus villains themes that requires players to get past the bad guys by clearing the levels. Special symbols are scattered throughout the game that, when matched up, will result in a bonus win.
 
Another online slot machine that will be released as a side game is Thor Blimey, a classic fruit machine that is based on Norse mythology. Featuring symbols like longboats, hammers and ale, the game is successful at conveying the atmosphere of the ancient society.
