It looks like that the Microgaming online slot games Peek A Poo and Lucky Twins will finally go live in January. There is no official statement as yet about the release from the leading online casino software provider, but promos have been made available.

Peek A Boo should be the more exciting of the two video slot games. In the base game it is played in the 5x4 format with 40 paylines. But once the free spins are triggered the format moves into 1024 ways to win. There are expected be several other surprises in the Peek A Boo online slot game. Each of them is equally exciting. The Peek A Boo logo wild symbol can appear in stacks up to four symbols high. The free spins feature is triggered using a mechanism similar to that in the recently released Stardust. The ghost zapper can randomly capture the ghosts and stuff them in the Ghost Meter. When the meter is crammed full you will be awarded 10 free spins. There are two different features on offer. In the Spooky Reels feature, the reels spin again when you achieve a 3 symbol or a 4 symbol win so that you have a chance of converting it to a longer combination. In the Super Stacked Wilds feature, the wild symbols are arranged in stacks up to 12 symbols high so that there should be many more of them when the reels stop.

Lucky Twins is another Oriental themed slot game from Microgaming. In Asian folklore the twins are known as Fortune Children and represent prosperity and protection. The pair of lucky twins is the wild symbol in this slot game. Lucky Twins has the time tested 5x3 format with 9 paylines and a top line payout of 5,000 coins. The Oriental theme is developed in detail with ornately crafted symbols like tasselled bag, fire crackers and the beckoning cat. Even the playing card icons have an Oriental touch. Lucky Twins will have a free spins feature, though the details of this are not available at the moment.

Peek A Boo and Lucky Twins should soon be live at all Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Royal Vegas and Jackpot City. Indications about the February releases are also out. Another Oriental slot game titled Dragon Dance will celebrate the Chinese New Year festival. Bikini Party will feature five girls on a beach volleyball court. Both will have 243 ways to win.
