Microgaming Respin Online Pokies Are More Challenging

Added: August 20, 2015

Australian players love to wager on online pokies. Pokies have great visual appeal and offer fantastic payouts. But they do not incorporate the stimulating challenge that is available in some casino games like blackjack. To cater for pokies players who are looking for this challenge, the leading online casino software provider Microgaming has introduced the exciting Respin feature in a few of its pokies games.

All pokies players must have faced this situation before. You have like symbols on an active payline in only four of the five reels. You would willingly pay an extra amount if you could spin only the remaining reel, keeping the other four fixed. The Microgaming Respin feature allows you to do exactly this. But it stipulates the additional stake. Then you have to decide if you want to pay the amount and take the respin or move on to another normal spin.

In the Microgaming Respin online pokies, a Respin button is displayed below each reel. After the first spin each Respin button has a value on it. This is the additional amount you will have to pay, if you want to spin only that reel, keeping the others fixed. You will notice that the respin amounts on different reels need not be the same. If you are likely to get a larger payout in the respin for a particular reel, then the cost of respin will be more for that reel. If you decide to go for a respin on any of the reels, you have to click the Respin button below that reel. Only the respin value will automatically be deducted from your account. Only new wins arising from the respin will be paid out. Wins paid out in the earlier spins will not be paid again. After the respin the Respin buttons will display fresh values based on the new arrangement of symbols on the reels. You can choose to activate another respin or go for a normal spin.

There is an important condition in the Microgaming Respin feature. The given respin values are valid only for the existing bet parameters. If you change the number of paylines or the number of coins or the coin size, then the Respin values will be eliminated and you will start from scratch. Some of the popular online pokies with the Respin feature are Reel Gems and Retro Reels. They can be played at Microgaming powered Australian online casinos like Casino Mate and Royal Vegas.
