Microgaming Launches Fish Party SNGs
Fish Party SNGs (Sit ‘n Go’s) recently launched on the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) across the Windows platform, with support for mobile devices and Mac also coming soon. This is an exciting new Jackpot SNG concept which manages to combine online pokies, progressive jackpots and Texas Hold’em poker.
These No Limit Hold’em Sit & Go tournaments involve just three players and they tend to last for just a couple of levels, or up to five minutes. There are several different buy in fees available and these wide table limits are suitable for low rollers, mid rollers and high rollers. Once you have chosen a suitable buy-in fee you then need to hit play.
You will then be presented with a mini 3 reel version of a Microgaming pokie called Fish Party and then you get to take one spin on this game to reveal the prize pool that you and the other two competitors will be playing to win. The paytable towards the right hand side of reel 5 will show you the different prizes can potentially be played for and you will get a shot at winning the progressive jackpot if three of the Fish Logos happen to land in consecutive order across the payline.
The seed amount for this jackpot starts at 5,000x times the buy-in fee and then with each new hand of poker that is played on your table, this jackpot will continue to increase and it can climb to know fixed amount. All three of you will then be battling it out to win your share of the prize pool. The larger prizes will be split, otherwise the winner takes all and the Fish Party’s 95% RTP % rate is equivalent to a mere 5% rake which is one of the lowest in the online poker industry. In other words, this is great value for the players.
“I truly believe we have created the best version of the Jackpot Sit & Go concept,” said Alex Scott, Microgaming’s Head of Poker. He continued, “The progressive jackpot enables us to offer bigger prizes than any other provider at a smaller cost to the player, and the link with a popular established slot gives poker rooms amazing opportunities for cross-sell.”
Scott then finished by saying, “But above all, I believe we have created the most thrilling version of the game the industry has seen – and this is all down to Microgaming’s expertise in creating the most exciting slot games in the industry. Today is a big day for the MPN; we are incredibly excited that Fish Party SNGs are now live.” All of these comments came from the official Microgaming website.
