Women In Lead Roles In Microgaming Online Pokies

Added: May 14, 2015

Certain roles have traditionally been given to males. One is the secret agent engaged in espionage and another is the cowboy fighting outlaws in the West. In both cases women have played merely decorative roles. But Microgaming, the software provider to leading Australian online casinos, believes in gender equality and has featured females in both these lead roles in its pokies.

Sunset Showdown has the reels set in the main street of a western town with the orange sky above. The typically western symbols include pistols, cash bag, hat, boots and a cowboy. The playing card icons are actual playing cards from the decks used in a saloon. The protagonist of the slot game is the gun totting cowgirl. She is the wild symbol that doubles payouts when substituting and awards the highest line payout on her own. Watch her in action during the win animations. When the cowgirl appears simultaneously on reels 1 and 5, she expands to cover the entire reel as wilds. These reels are held in place and the remaining three reels re-spun three times. Though the Sunset Showdown Baddy feature is triggered by the scatter pistol symbol, the cowgirl is very much in action. She struts down the street shooting at the bad guys in hiding. You win a random bonus for each outlaw she hits.

Agent Jane Blonde is womankind’s answer to James Bond. The name is similar and the introductory clip in the pokie game resembles the title credits in Bond movies. Like the cowgirl of Sunset Showdown, she is the wild symbol, she doubles payouts when substituting in winning combinations and awards the top fixed jackpot. In the win animation the close up of Jane Blonde expands to a full length figure holding a rifle. The high paying symbols show Jane Blonde in various disguises, obviously on secret missions. In one of these she is in a pink colored Aston Martin, another link to the legendary 007. Other missions show her underwater and in snowy terrain. The low paying symbols are the accessories of her trade. These include lipstick and chewing gum that easily might double for lethal spray or an explosive. Jane Blonde also prefers dry martini, shaken not stirred. Do not look for too many features in this online pokie. The free spins round is triggered by the Agent Jane Blonde logo. You are awarded 15 free spins at tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered.
