Microgaming takes flight with Dragon Shard
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Elemental forces clash over the ancient and powerful Dragon Shard in the latest fantasy themed online slot developed exclusively for Microgaming by Stormcraft Studios, the creative team behind hit titles Agent Jane Blonde Returns and Fortunium.

Dragon Shard is a five by five reel, 40-payline slot packed with trailblazing features and stunning visuals, fully optimised for a premium portrait gameplay experience on mobile. Journeying through a mythical realm, players can scale up the rewards with the mighty Win Booster™, and uncover hidden wonders beneath the game’s Mystery Symbols and in free spins with Mystery Reels™.

Battling to claim the arcane powers of the Dragon Shard, the Fire Queen and Ice King can appear throughout the game as high value stacked symbols, while all other shimmering icons, including the King and Queen’s fearsome dragons, are double stacked. The potential rewards escalate when super stacked Mystery Symbols roll in to join the fray, revealing a wild or any low or high symbol, and giving players the chance to fill the reels with five-of-a-kind wins.

Unleashing the strength of the Win Booster™ causes Mystery Symbols to transform into only wilds and high-paying symbols, and empowers all winning lines to pay both ways. Engaging this fired up feature increases the player’s total bet by 100%, with selection from the base game carrying over into free spins.

Landing three or more scatters conjures up the elemental sorcery of the Dragon Shard, coating the ethereal realm beyond the reels in ice and awarding 10 free spins. Depending on how many scatters land, the frosty bonus features up to three Mystery Reels™. Each loaded with infinite stacks of Mystery Symbols, Mystery Reels™ are activated randomly between reels two, three and four on every spin. Additional spins are awarded when further scatters land during the bonus feature, extending the adventure for those travelling through this epic and immersive world.

The quest for the Dragon Shard begins on Wednesday 29 May, available exclusively to Microgaming operators.

“Dragon Shard is another exceptional addition to Microgaming’s innovative slot portfolio from the talented team at Stormcraft Studios. They have realised a visually and aurally immersive world of sword and sorcery, which particularly shines in portrait mode on mobile. The game’s feature set is just as deep and rich as its presentation, with the Win Booster™ further enhancing the power of Mystery Symbols and Mystery Reels™ in free spins, which offers excellent win potential for any player lucky enough to land five scatters entering the bonus, particularly if the Win Booster™ is enabled.” – Jagoda Barber, Head of Games at Microgaming.

“Crafting the magical world of Dragon Shard has been an immensely exciting endeavour for us at Stormcraft Studios. We carefully integrated successful and inventive game mechanics with a relatable fantasy theme, completing it with beautifully rendered visuals and an epic soundtrack. We’re looking forward to welcoming players into the magical realm of the Fire Queen and Ice King, and providing them with a thoroughly entertaining gaming experience.” – Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios.

Casino Guru unveils redesigned homepage: A bold step forward in online gambling resources

Casino Guru unveils redesigned homepage: A bold step forward in online gambling resources
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Casino Guru, the leading independent authority on online gambling and the biggest online casinos database, has launched a major redesign of its homepage, marking a new era in its mission to provide users with unparalleled insights and resources in the online gambling world.

The previous homepage no longer reflected the full scope of Casino Guru’s activities. The redesigned homepage aims to showcase the platform’s extensive efforts to go beyond being just another casino website. “We wanted to demonstrate that we are serious about our mission, tackling issues often overlooked by competitors, with a level of dedication that ensures something new is happening on our site every day,” the team behind the redesign explains.

Key features of the new homepage

Dynamic content integration:
The homepage features an autoscroll carousel, a dynamic element that presents Casino Guru’s unique data interactively. Visitors can explore real-time updates on the platform’s constantly growing database of casinos, bonuses, games, forum posts, and complaints.

Box/Grid Layout for modular design:

Inspired by the “bento box” concept, the new design organizes content into clean, visually comprehensible blocks. This modular approach enhances user navigation while offering flexibility in presenting a wide range of information.
User-centric design: The homepage integrates a streamlined introduction, intuitive navigation, and content that offers more than static information. Each section provides users with valuable insights while emphasizing the platform’s commitment to innovation.

 

Modern visuals and branding:

A significant update to Casino Guru’s visual identity includes a shift from animated graphics to a sophisticated blend of 3D elements and neon accents. This aesthetic transformation elevates the platform’s appeal and reflects its modern approach to the online gambling industry.

Forum and complaints sections: A dedicated space introduces users to the Casino Guru forum and the complaints resolution center, supported by a team of over 20 specialists. This section reveals fascinating data and highlights the platform’s user-focused approach.

Casino Guru News: The homepage concludes with curated selections from Casino Guru News, ensuring users stay informed about the latest developments in the industry.

Overcoming design challenges

Developing a homepage that effectively conveys the platform’s multifaceted nature presented significant challenges. “One of the biggest hurdles was creating a design that works across all 18 language variants of the website,” says the team. “What can be expressed with a single short word in English may take several words in languages like German or Finnish. Achieving this without compromising usability or design was no small feat.”
This redesign is only the beginning. Casino Guru is already working on Phase Two, which will introduce new sections to the site. These will include expanded user reviews, enhancements to the complaints resolution section, and an entirely new segment dedicated to responsible gambling.

“The new homepage is not just a redesign; it’s a promise to our users that we’re continuously evolving to provide them with the best experience possible,” the team concludes.
