The Germinator is a new Microgaming slots game, and if you are thinking to yourself at this point in time – "when have germs ever been cute?" When you play this 6 x 6 grid-type video slots game – that's when! They sound cute, they look so ugly they are cute; you know just how cartoonists portray germs?! They come out to play in coughing, sneezing fits, and if this doesn't chase you away you will be seriously infected by this game. It is compelling, fun, attractive in a way and it is seriously contagious.

Fortunately these germs don't make you ill; the only thing they can be responsible for is a chronic out-break of wins hopefully. But if you have to take the bad with the good, let's hope there won't be too many loss spreading germs amongst them. Both darling and ugly at the same time, it is fascinating to pick out one germ from another! Speaking of "picking out germs", players are also offered the opportunity to pick out one strain of germ and, the less of these that are in the mix, the easier it becomes to win; as the aim of the game is to match three or more germs in a row. This is obviously a bonus feature, they call it the "Medi-bonus" and the bonus is triggered when three or more capsules are in view, and when all wins have been paid and removed.

You will find Germinator at all Microgaming online casinos and other sites which have access to Microgaming slots. As Virgin Games gets to cherry pick from wherever they like, they launch at least one new game a week, so, you will probably find it there too. This is one of the new genre of online video slots with the fantastic cascading feature; allowing for even more wins. As more and more strains are eliminated the germs are germinated faster, and they cascade down time after time, to a possible, maximum £18000 win! The wins are paid per germ in the form of multipliers, with each germ having their own coin values, this is; x 10 for yellow, x 2 for green, x 1 for the bluish one – he is a real ugly bug, x 0.6 for the red germ and x 0.2 for the orange germ.

This is the type of online gambling game, which is not really a typical video slot. It is more like the "bejeweled type game – we are not really sure what this genre is. This may also be what makes it appealing to players who enjoy playing computer games, but don't necessarily enjoy playing slots.

The coin range will appeal to both low and high rolling players and some players' even find these creatures adorable, being loath to eliminate any strains. Don't let their cuteness fool you however, remember you are in play with the aim of landing a win! Our very short opinion of Germinator is – amazing graphics, hugely entertaining and potentially very rewarding – even if playing it may be highly infectious.
