Some online slots become so popular that the software providers re-introduce them in different avatars. This is exactly what Microgaming has done with Isis, which is now available as a stand-alone video slot, a component of a progressive jackpot network and a multiplayer game.

The Isis video slot has an ancient Egyptian theme. Isis is the goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility who is often depicted in a bird form. The symbols on the reels are taken from Egyptian mythology and those players who have knowledge of the motifs will enjoy the game better. The symbols include Isis’ head gear of the horns of a cow with the sun between them and the Eye of Horus. Incidentally Horus is the son of Isis in Egyptian mythology. Isis is the wild symbol and a powerful one befitting the stature of the goddess. It doubles payouts when participating in winning combinations and directly awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. Isis in the form of the bird is the scatter symbol, which awards scatter payouts and also triggers up to 30 free spins with payouts multiplied six times. Isis video slot also offers the Microgaming gamble game in which players can try to enhance their payouts.

Sensing its popularity Microgaming linked a slightly modified version of Isis to the popular Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network. In this avatar the slot game is known as Mega Moolah Isis. The structure of the game structure and the symbols are unchanged. However, some of the symbols are styled differently. The material difference in Mega Moolah Isis is the progressive jackpot. The first implication of this is that the slot game cannot be played in the free play mode. Because of the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot payouts upwards of a million credits are possible. In Mega Moolah Isis a randomly triggered bonus game leads to the progressive jackpot. Mega Moolah has four progressive jackpots represented by bands of different colors on a wheel. In the bonus game the wheel is spun and comes to rest with a band of a particular color next to the pointer. The jackpot corresponding to that color is awarded. The largest progressive jackpot is Mega, which starts at 1,000,000 credits.

The third avatar of Isis is Multi Player Isis. This version uses the same symbols as Mega Moolah Isis, but has a different game structure. The number of paylines has been increased to 40 and stacked wilds have been added. Multi Player Isis is played in a virtual slots room with up to six players at a time. Each player wagers on his own Isis slot machine but can view the slot machines of the other players. Each time a player gets two or more scatter symbols a free spins multiplier is awarded to him. If any player gets the scatter Isis bird symbol on reels 1 and 5 at the same time, 12 free spins are awarded to all the players. The payouts for each player are multiplied by multipliers earned by them till that time. Multi Player Isis has a chat feature that allows the players to communicate with each other and thus enjoy the game even more.

All three avatars of Isis can be played at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Platinum Play, Spin Palace and Roxy Palace.
