In January 2007, Microgaming developed a slot machine which has a property developer theme. It is called Prime Property and has pleasant visuals. The visuals are not realistic because they are cartoonlike still nice but the characters are pathetic, in my opinion. Fortunately this does not affect the general ambiance of the game which is similar to Desperate Housewives. In fact, the slot machine takes you to a magnificent American suburb. The sound effects are perfectly adapted to the theme, car noises, bird chirps and children playing. A few discrete sound effects but you still manage to hear them when you win. In short, the ambiance is very nice.
