Playtech Launches Zodiac Online Slot

Earlier this year, Playtech had acquired the online gaming software developer Virtue Fusion Alderney. Virtue Fusion independently develops online casino games and releases them to Playtech powered casinos as well as to those on other software platforms. The latest release from Virtue Fusion is Zodiac Supernova, which is a five reel and 25 line video slot game. It has gone live on December 7 and is available in seven currencies and eight languages.

As its name suggests, Zodiac Supernova has a horoscope theme. The largest payout is £25,000, which may be won with a bet of only £5 on a single line when five Leo symbols appear on that payline. Other Zodiac symbols pay out lesser amounts. If the player activates all 25 paylines then the maximum total bet per spin will be £125. For low rollers the minimum coin denomination is £0.01. The reported average return to player is 95%, which is normal for online slot games.

The highlight of Zodiac Supernova is the trademark Virtue Fusion Exploding Reels feature. All winning combinations are evaluated after each spin and the win amount is displayed in the 'Won' cell. Then all symbols in the winning combinations explode and disappear in an amazing visual display. The vacant positions on each reel are filled with symbols tumbling from above in sequence. The game is re-evaluated for symbols in winning combinations and new win amounts are added to the earlier total. At the point when no winning symbol combinations are created and the final total is transferred to the player's account balance. This feature creates more prospective win lines with the same wager and also adds visual excitement to the game.

The online slot game is available to a galaxy of online gaming operators through Playtech's Virtue Fusion network. Some of these operators are Mecca Bingo, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Sky, Bet365, Crown Bingo, Paddy Power and Boyle Sports. CasinoAdvisor recommends Virgin Casino, which is powered by WagerWorks but also offers slot games from the Virtue Fusion portfolio. Some of the other Virtue Fusion online slots that are available at Virgin Casino are Dynamite Digger, Clover Rollover and Big Top Tombola.

Chief Executive of Virtue Fusion, Bob McCulloch said at the release of this online slot game, "Zodiac Supernova is an extremely pleasant game with exceptionally rich animations. I'm in no doubt that it will prove a flourishing addition to our network as, even if they don't admit it, just about everyone checks their horoscopes!" Playtech acquired Virtue Fusion in February 2010 for an upfront payment of £29 million. This acquisition sealed Playtech's position as a top online gaming software provider.
