If you take a look at the new Microgaming online casino slot called "Summer Holiday" you'll notice that the "Expert" mode in this game is grayed out. Meaning that there's no way to open up the dialog to commence and use the auto play feature available in what I beleive is all other Microgaming online casino games (I know that you can also usually start auto play in Microgaming software by going though the options menu but it's inactive there as well). Does any one know perhaps why they might have not included the auto-play feature in this online casino game?

Overall it's a great game though I really enjoy playing this one. I'm quite fond of the "Pick-a-Prize" feature that you're prompted with when you finish your free spins bonus round. The fact that you can either reply your free spins, collect or gamble your winnings in exchange for a mystery prize which may be larger or smaller then what you won in the free spins bonus round is great and definitely a cool new element to Microgaming's suite of bonus round games. Another thing that I found quite cool is that this game also features stacked wilds where you can win up to 75,000 coins if you're betting max.

Anyhow if anyone has any ideas as to why the "auto-play" feature has been disabled for this game it would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be that perhaps they just wanted some diversity (ie. some games with auto-play and expert mode and some games that don't bear this feature)?

Looks like this question has everyone stumped. I will make an inquiry with some representatives we know at Microgaming to try and figure out why this game doesn't offer "Expert Mode" which contains the auto-play feature.

We probably won't have an answer until sometime next week at which point we'll post a reply!

I'm not sure about the reasoning why Microgaming has done this for this game but I know that Rival powered online casinos like Sloto' Cash and all other powered by Rival software do not allow you to auto-play unless you're playing for real money.

I guess they figure why should a player be able to auto play if there not playing for real money. The reality is that unless you're playing for real money this feature really is of no value. This doesn't seem to be the case here with this Microgaming I would imagine.

The other thing I was thinking is that it's possible that Microgaming didn't want players to be able to play in fun mode and hit the bonus round and left it so that you have to play the game as it was meant to be played one spin at a time in order to reach the feature in this game. I guess the logic there would be that if you're just playing to hit the bonus round and you're playing in fun mode that your game play at the casino is not really of value. The other alternative also is that perhaps the game mechanics in this game work in such a way that auto-play and expert mode is just not feasible.

So we heard back from our Microgaming contacts and this is what they had to say about this:



Hope that clears things up with regards to this subject.

Thanks for the clarification on this it's greatly appreciated!
