In their 23 years of experience, this software developer based in the Isle of Man has won a plentitude of awards to prove their skill and creativity. There’s way too many for us to mention all of them, but the most important ones are 14 EGR awards, such as the poker software award, innovation in RNG, RNG supplier, mobile gaming, and bingo innovation.

Microgaming are very proud of their programming and design prowess. They are indeed quite flexible, as their games are programmed in multiple coding languages, such as HTML5, Adobe Flash, Java, C++, .NET and C#. This allowed them to reach the most relevant platforms, so their games are available on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS too. They also developed Quickfire, a platform extensively used by online casinos. This platform allows both casino owners and players to enjoy games quickly and simply, without getting lost in technical details.
The catalogue that Microgaming has put together over the years is one of the widest and most varied in the world of online betting. Whatever it is you’re looking for, you’ll most definitely find it here. Their portfolio boasts over 850 unique casino games with 1200 variants, 40 progressive jackpot games, 35 multiplayers and 350 games available on mobile. It’s no wonder we found it very difficult to only choose a few favourites, considering their sheer number. This doesn’t mean that Microgaming traded quality for numbers, however; all of their products are fantastic on their own.
Rather uniquely, Microgaming also invests energy into making exciting tournament games. Some of their games, such as Hitman, Lara Croft or Terminator 2, Alien Attack and Wheel of Wealth allow players to complete side by side, chat, and view other player’s games. One other important addition to competitive gaming is Microgaming Bingo, which is famous for cashing out 5.8 million pounds to a player who only staked 30p!
Microgaming operates under multiple regulators and licenses. Some of these are the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, and the Manx E-gaming association. They are one of the founders of the e-Commerce and Online Game Regulation and Assurance, supporting responsible gaming.
Types of games: Video slots, table games, live dealer games, multiplayer, jackpot, land based games.

Dragonz: Meet the scaly protagonists of this story: Flint, Frost, Gobble and Switch. These four tiny dragons will help you on your way to fantastic wins in a 5 reel, 243 pay ways video slot game. The slot has eye catching graphics and a very upbeat music. Perhaps the most important feature is represented by the dragons themselves: each as a special power. In a free spin triggered by the scatter symbols, Flint burns more symbols increasingly into wilds with each spin, and Frost freezes wilds into place. Gobble creates sticky wilds from regular symbols, and Switch guarantees a win after stashing 3 or more wilds.
