Microgaming announced in January that it was working on a new 3D online video slot, and now it has been revealed that the online gaming software giant will release the game through various Microgaming casinos in June. Sterling Silver coming soon Jackpot City online casino has announced that it will be one of the first to make the new 3D Sterling Silver slot available, saying in a press release that it will provide the eyewear needed to thoroughly enjoy this super-realistic game. JPC did not elaborate on how the eyewear would be delivered to customers, although one can assume that players will have to register for the game. Based on the old Sterling Silver 5-reel, 25-payline, the game was initially announced in January when Microgaming said that it has been working on 3D gaming content for some time after launching its Great Galaxy Grab online slot in 2009, which was developed using three-dimensional rendered graphics. How will this work? At present there is no further information available, but we can only assume that Microgaming and affiliated casinos will release further details on how players can go about accessing this 3D video slot. While there won't be any need to rush out and buy a new computer, we can assume players will benefit from some seriously attractive promos as the game is launched.

Those attempts have until now been unsuccessful, but we will keep you updated all the way on this and other matters related to the return of poker funds following the US Department of Justice indictments.
