Platinum MPX Cabinet Now Delivering Premium Entertainment
Following recent initial placements and a strong preview showing at last year’s G2E, Platinum MPX officially debuts at G2E 2014 with a range of exciting content. The Company’s newest premium participation platform, Platinum MPX offers a completely new gaming entertainment experience thanks to a large 40-inch 1080p high definition LCD display and specifically-designed games that fully complement the capabilities of this new cabinet. The Platinum MPX cabinet offers a touchscreen, fully-customizable button panel, runway lighting integrated with the game play to complement the high quality visuals, and six custom speakers, two of which are embedded in the interactive sound chair with Earthquake Shakers™ technology.
New games on display for the Platinum MPX cabinet at G2E 2014 include:
- Dracula – Beautifully rendered artwork brings a modern take to a classic tale in Multimedia Games’ newest standout game. In the showcase three-stage Dracula Bonus, players get a number of picks per stage – including bats, wolves and coffins – with each stage ending in a spin of the wheel. Players pick an object to reveal Dracula (awarding an increased jackpot tier), a Bride of Dracula (boosting credit prizes on the wheel), or a “Spin” symbol (triggers the wheel to spin at the current level). As players enter the Vampire Hunter Free Spin bonus, they select a theme symbol which turns into a vampire wild symbol and is staked to a reel position, remaining in place until it is part of a winning combination at which point it turns to dust and disappears.
- The Valkyries™ – Based on the Norse mythological figures, The Valkyries boosts players’ winning powers through its five-tier linked progressive feature, with the top tier awarded when 14 Jackpot symbols land. The highlight Expanding Reels bonus is triggered as a Valkyrie sends lightning bolts to start the expanding reels, growing up to four additional rows with ten additional paylines per row for a total of 80 paylines. In this exciting bonus, players can win a variety of prizes including progressive jackpots or free spins.
Skyline Cabinet Amplifies the Mechanical Reel Experience
Multimedia Games’ new for-sale or premium participation Skyline series enhances the traditional look and feel of the Company’s Player Classic three-reel mechanical reel cabinet with a vintage-inspired bezel, completely reinventing the mechanical reel gaming experience and attracting players thanks to its powerful visuals. Standing nearly seven feet tall, the Skyline cabinet features unique game controlled lighting which completely surrounds a vertically-oriented 24-inch LCD display, supporting multiple tier progressive configurations and allowing for greater game flexibility.
Skyline will debut at G2E 2014 with four new games – Ultra Mega Meltdown™, Canary Diamonds™, Glitter Gulch Jackpots™ and Double Jackpot Gems™ – which represent the first in a series of games that will be released regularly and are specifically designed to take full advantage of the visually striking top box. As the latest addition to the Company’s Mega Meltdown® family of games, Ultra Mega Meltdown is an electrifying game that features ten progressive tiers and amplifies the visual excitement created by the eye-catching Skyline top box. Players’ winnings become shocking as winning combinations, including the Ultra Mega Meltdown symbol, land on the reels to award progressive prizes up to 10,000 credits. Canary Diamonds features six progressive tiers, which are awarded when four or more carats of Canary Diamonds land scattered on the reels, with nine carats awarding the top progressive prize.
