LONDON, July 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Zuma Slots, the latest release from the Gamesys / PopCap partnership, has just been launched on Jackpotjoy and its partner sites. The game is based on PopCap's award winning 2004 puzzle game and offers members of Gamesys flagship site the chance to search for riches amidst a South American jungle landscape.
Zuma Slots is based on PopCap's famous Zuma puzzle game, where players try to eliminate a snake-like chain of coloured balls by firing other coloured balls from the mouth of a stone frog. Sound too surreal to be true? Probably, but then so do a lot of classic games.
The new Zuma Slot doesn't have coloured balls but it does feature a number of the original game's characters alongside the chance to win a healthy cash prize. For more info on Zuma Slots please click here: https://www.jackpotjoy.com/games/zuma-slots
"Working with the Zuma characters has been a really exciting experience," explains Adele Lawton, head of Jackpotjoy. "I know quite a few of the designers and programmers around the office were on a real nostalgic buzz when they saw the creative, and the model's a particularly exciting one as well."

The new model features a Gamble Bonus Round that offers the chance to double, quadruple or multiply your winnings by x5 or x10.
"The Gamble Feature's very strong," Adele confirms. "The potential win in there is limitless, and because the odds are fixed, I imagine we'll see a few costly winning streaks in there once the game's launched!"

The Gamble Bonus Game sits alongside a very strong Free Spin feature where players are taken to meet mythical creatures who award Free Spins at will.
"We're finding more and more that Free Spins are a really exciting feature of any slot, and we wanted to make sure we were making the most of the Zuma characters - they're so strong creatively."
Zuma Slots is one of the first of a string of co-launches between PopCap and Gamesys, other plans include Bejeweled Hypercash which was launched today as well, and Bejeweled Bingo, which should be arriving soon.
