There's no stopping the Microgaming slot steam train this summer. The major developer is releasing a raft of exciting new games in July, and there's a deluxe return for a real Microgaming favourite.

Can the developer's new games live up to the expectations of branded slots like Village People Macho Moves, which hits Betway Casino in June? Let's take a closer look and find out.

Sherlock of London

Reels: 5

Paylines: 25

Slot highlights: Double Win feature, Connecting Wilds, bonus spins, free spins

Released: 10 July

The legendary Victorian detective gets a 21st century slot makeover in Microgaming's new crime-themed slot. And it's set to be a big favourite with players when it hits Betway Casino in the summer.

Sherlock of London is built on 5 reels and features 25 paylines. There's a 96.03% RTP and an expected hit rate of just over 36%. And this wouldn't be a big Microgaming release without a few hidden goodies.

The game, developed by Rabcat, features a cool Connecting Wilds bonus. If more than one wild appears on the reels at the same time, the two will connect in a pattern, turning every symbol in their path into wilds. One wild by itself will give you a free re-spin, while two adjacent wilds will result in a Double Win cash bonus.

Finally, free spins fans can travel to 221B Baker Street to enjoy some bonus action. Hit 10 free spins that come with extra wilds and catch the gang.

Magic of Sahara

Reels: 5

Paylines: 20

Slot highlights: Free spins, stacked wilds

Released: 17 July

"Discover the arcane secrets" with Microgaming's African-themed slot, Magic of Sahara. The game is coming soon to desktop and mobiles.  

Built on five reels and featuring nine paylines, Magic of Sahara has a cool free spins bonus which triggers once you have collected 25 special tokens during the base game.

You can also activate the free spins by hitting three scatters. The free spins bonus carries an added multiplier worth 2x on all your wins. Look out for wild symbols too. These can appear super-stacked on all reels for some added excitement.

Break Away Deluxe

Reels: 5

Paylines: 18-88

Slot highlights: Free spins, multiplier trail, Rolling Reels, Smashing Wilds, Growing Wilds

Released: 23 July

Ice hockey fans will be getting their skates on to play this new sport-themed slot. Developed by Stormcraft for Microgaming, Break Away Deluxe is a welcome upgrade to the popular Break Away game.

The new Break Away Deluxe slot lets you play on 5x5 reels and choose between 18, 38, 68 and 88 paylines every spin.

The game uses Microgaming's trademark Rolling Reels feature during spins. After a win, active symbols disappear from view to be replaced by the symbols sitting above on the reels. With super-stacked wilds appearing on some reels, this can trigger some interesting gameplay for players.

Look out too for the Smashing Wilds where two hockey players will clash heads on the reels, turning a whole stack wild.

The free spins feature in the game awards 12 games with super-stacked Growing Wilds. On every consecutive win, a progressive multiplier will increase from 2x to 8x. The wild count will also increase on every spin.
