Castle Builder II, the Next Social Slots Game from Microgaming

Three of the most successful industries in the digital world right now are social gaming, mobile gaming, and real money gaming. What would happen if we managed to smush them all together? If done right, you’d get the most prolific product on the market. That’s exactly what Microgaming was hoping for when it debuted Castle Builder II this week at 2017 ICE.

Castle Builder II Social Slots Games As with most things in the interactive gambling realm, Microgaming pioneered the integration of social slots games with the original release of Castle Builder in 2013. That ground-breaking title introduced players to a whole new genre of slot machines, where they could progress through the game, reaching achievements while unlocking new quests and characters.

It was a phenomenal success – so impressive that it won Microgaming the EGR Game of the Year award in 2013. But like most progress-based titles, players eventually lost interest after accomplishing most or all of the goals the game had to offer.

Following the same awarding-winning format, Castle Builder II presents a whole new environment, including 15 new kingdoms to explore, 75 unique castles to build, and more than 300 individual characters to interact with throughout the game.

The sequel – built in conjunction with Microgaming’s closest partner, Rabcat Games – made its debut appearance at the Excel London this week during the 2017 ICE Totally Gaming convention, giving insiders a closer look at what’s in store.

Castle Builder II – The Experience

Players will begin their adventure by selecting one of three avatars to represent them on their journey throughout the kingdoms – Sam, Mandy or Igor. Each character has a different feature set, altering the player’s experience within the social slots game.

An enormous game map gives players freedom of choice in choosing their path and ultimate destinations, from the insouciant Meadowlands, to the Great Plains of Silence, to the foreboding Desert of Death. Along the way, they’ll meet and interact with graceful queens and mighty kings, all while collecting the necessary materials to build their own impressive castles of various sizes ans styles.

All the while, there’s a romantic undertone to the adventure. Players will be assisting the beautiful princess in finding her perfect mate, whether it be a proverbial prince charming, a cunning alchemist, a burly viking warrior, a studly athlete, or pretty much anything else in between (even a living, breathing snowman).

Like any proper role-playing game, Castle Builder II also features level-ups. Players will gain experience for all achievements, rising in the ranks with new jobs and additional achievements and greater challenges to unlock. All this, packed into a wonderfully imaginative social slots game from the world’s leader in mobile gaming innovation, Microgaming.

“We have had great success with Castle Builder, launching the game to over 80 operators worldwide,” commented Rabcat Founder and CEO Thomas Schleischitz.

“The second installment provides extended gameplay and high replay value by way of more kingdoms, more levels, and more achievements,” he said. “By embracing the concept of unlocking content and continuous progression, the game encourages players to come back for more.”
