Sometimes perfectly good online slots do not get popular. One of the reasons is that they are launched at the same time as a high profile title that hogs all the traffic. One such big ticket slot game was released by Microgaming in May 2010. It was Thunderstruck II. Alongside it, Microgaming launched Lady in Red and Queen of the Jungle. Both these video slots are excellent and are being reviewed here with the hope of kindling interest in them. These are live at Microgaming online casinos like Royal Vegas, All Slots and 32Red.

Lady in Red takes you to the night clubs of the mid-1900s when the elite gathered for cocktails and dinner under dimmed lights with female singers crooning romantic songs. The lady in a scarlet red gown is the singer. The other thematic symbols are orchestra, red roses and liqueurs. The low paying symbols are the typical Microgaming playing card icons. The game logo is the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property. It also awards the top line payouts, with a five-symbol combination paying 12,500 coins. The old fashioned flash bulb camera is the scatter symbol. It also helps create the bygone era mood. Apart from awarding scatter payouts, it triggers up to 25 free spins at tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered. Lady in Red is a 25 paylines video slot. The maximum bet per spin works out to $50, which should begin to interest the high rollers, especially when coupled with high variance.

Queen of the Jungle is set in the dense forests where the lady monarch rules over human and monkey subjects. The game logo is the wild symbol and also awards the top line payouts. The thematic symbols create the environment. You have the provocative looking queen, her hunky human lover and a plate of exotic fruits. The slot game has two scatter symbols - three monkeys and passion fruit. Detailed graphics and plenty of animation add to the pleasure of playing this slot game. The bonus game on the second screen is triggered by the monkey symbols. Each monkey presents a different bonus game for you to choose from. They are interesting variations of pick objects type of games integrated with the theme of the video slot. The passion fruit symbol triggers 15 free spins with tripled payouts. The feature can be retriggered in the usual manner. Queen of the Jungle is a 9 paylines video slot. It offers a maximum total bet per spin of $90.
