The best test of new online slots comes a few weeks after release. There is always high traffic on new games. The question is whether the traffic persists after the newness has worn off. In this respect, the new Microgaming slots Emoticoins and Oink Country Love have passed the test with flying colours. You can play them at online casinos like All Slots, Gaming Club and Jackpot City.

Emoticoins features the unusual but likeable theme of emoticons, the face signs used in Internet messaging. You will easily recognise Shades, Wink, Tears of Joy and Smiley, which are the high paying symbols. The low paying symbols are the usual Microgaming playing card icons. The game logo is the wild symbol and also awards the highest line payouts. LOL, the acronym for Laughing Out Loud, is the scatter symbol. It awards scatter payouts and triggers 10 free spins, which come with the Wild Stickers feature. One new wild symbol will appear in every alternate free spin starting from the first one. These wild symbols will remain fixed on the reels for the remaining free spins. The free spins feature cannot be retriggered. Wild Blast is another new feature introduced in Emoticoins online slot that is randomly triggered in ant base game spin. You can get up to five wild symbols with the assurance of a payout. Emoticoins is a 30 paylines online slot in the standard 5x3 reels structure.

Oink Country Love is based on the theme of country music, which is a very popular music genre. Microgaming has added value to the theme by giving farm animals the roles of humans. The performers in this online video slot are the Oink brothers, Willy and Chancho. One of them plays the banjo and the other plays the violin. They play in the barn to an audience consisting of female admirers. They are nattily dressed and include sow, hen, mare, cow and sheep. Willy and Chancho are both wild symbols. But they also award line payouts in both like symbol and mixed symbol combinations. The golden ticket is the scatter symbol. Three to seven scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award payouts multiplied by the total bet. The golden ticket is also your entry to the Barnyard Bash feature. You will be awarded up to 20 free spins to start with. However, this number can be multiplied by 2x or 4x bu getting multiple scatter symbols on certain reels. Oink Country Love is a 5x3 video slot with 45 fixed paylines. The total bet, however, is 50 times the line bet.
