The Australians are a carefree people and Microgaming has created the perfect online pokie for them. It is aptly titled No Worries and embodies quintessential icons from Down Under. The pokie is available in both single-player and multi-player formats.
The reels are set in the background of the Australian Outback. The symbols depict native Australian animals crafted in a comical style. The wallaby lies drunk in a hammock, the koala bear munches pizza, the platypus swats flies, the wombat is in a bath tub, the kookaburra is tooting a horn and the Tasmanian Devil is plain crazy. You have a boomerang, Aborigine style designed high value card symbols and the No Worries logo, which is the wild symbol. There are some awesome win animations and light background music to complement the style and theme of the pokie. Five boomerang symbols award up to 25 free spins, starting at a 2x multiplier. After the free spins are played out you can collect your winnings, or give up the current free spin winnings and play the free spins again, or give up the free spin winnings and take a mystery prize instead. The mystery prize offers a random payout between 2 and 150 times your total bet. This option can be exercised only once after the free spins feature. No Worries also features the Microgaming gamble game that gives you a chance to try double or quadruple your winnings.
No Worries in a multi-player format was released by Microgaming in 2011. This allows up to 30 players to play together in a virtual room. You can choose your rooms depending on your desired wagering amount, just like choosing a table at a land casino based on the stakes. In this multiplayer pokie you can see only your screen, but can chat with other players in the room. You will earn points as you wager. Periodically these points will be transferred to the leader board and you will be ranked on the leader board according to your points tally. The multi-player element in No Worries is the Aussie Windmill Pump bonus round, which is triggered randomly. On the second screen an 18-segment wheel with 5 different Australian animals is displayed. Each animal represents a percentage of the jackpot amount ranging from 10% to 100%. The wheel is spun to determine the portion of the jackpot that will be disbursed. The top ten players based on the leader board rankings will share the jackpot according to their position. The higher the rank of the player, the bigger the share of the jackpot he will win.
