James Bond has over 25 titles to his credit. In that sense, Agent Jane Blonde has been stuck on her first. But now Microgaming’s lead heroine is making a move on with her second video slot titled Agent Jane Blonde Returns. This was announced by the leading software provider during iGB Live at Amsterdam on July 18.

The sequel to one of Microgaming’s most popular video slots is being developed exclusively by Stormcraft Studios. This is the independent game studio consisting of old Microgaming experts that has recently delivered Fortunium. Agent Jane Blonde Returns will be the second game developed by Stormcraft Studios exclusively for Microgaming operators like Platinum Play, Lucky Nugget and Jackpot City. The original was released by Microgaming in 2005 and was considered way ahead of its time. The super spy sequel featuring womankind’s answer to James Bond has the standard five by three reels set with 15 paylines. The similarity ends there. Agent Jane Blonde Returns will have neon and retro wave inspired graphics, stacked wilds and a respin feature. The game is set to bring thrilling action complete with stunning artwork. No release date has been announced.

Attendees at iGB Live visiting the Microgaming stand got the first peek of the visuals of the upcoming game and a scoop of ice cream from a selection of nine flavours. David Reynolds Games Publisher at Microgaming, said, “Following the huge success of Fortunium, we are so excited for Stormcraft Studios’ next release with Agent Jane Blonde Returns.” With an insight into Agent Jane Blonde’s world of action and espionage, the sequel video slot is sure to be a hit with both fans of the original and new players when it goes live.

For the few Microgaming players that are still not familiar with Agent Jane Blonde here is a brief review. Agent Jane Blonde is the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property and also awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. The other high paying symbols show the audacious spy on various missions including action under water and in snowy terrain. The low paying symbols are Jane’s trade accessories like lipstick spray and chewing gum explosive disguised. Jane Blonde also favours the dry martini, shaken not stirred. The Agent Jane Blonde logo triggers 15 free spins in which all payouts are tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered.

Often sequels turn out to be damp squibs. Time will tell whether Microgaming and Stormcraft are able to buck the trend.
