With the slot gaming market making such a massive move to online pay in the 90’s, it was inevitable that this would bring about the start-up of new companies looking to challenge the domination of WMS, IGT and Aristocrat in the slot gaming world by gaining a competitive edge in the new market place. Microgaming were one of the very first and, their original online casino platform the Gaming Club has been running strong since 1994 – incredibly that’s over 20 years old now.
They have proved themselves a reliable and safe software provider over the last two decades, with over 100 Million dollars’ worth of progressive jackpots paid out to lucky customers, although since 2008 that has excluded players based in the USA due to the regulation changes. As a founding member of the Interactive gaming council back in 1997, they have shown consistent action towards making online play as safe and rewarding for consumers as possible

Their game selection is still heavily biased towards their casino download software, where more than 600 games are instantly available, half of these being slots and the rest also encompassing a decent table game and niche game selection from Blackjack to Sic Bo. The games are available at well in excess of 100 online casinos and a decent number of sportsbook and poker sites too, we review some of the best on the site on a regular basis.
In recent times Microgaming have introduced a much greater selection of branded games such as the Tomb-Raider slot and the highly popular Hellboy slot. They are still most well-known for the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot game which is perhaps the best known jackpot game out there for online slot players, it’s made more millionaires than almost any other game in the genre.
Flash games are appearing more and more from this developer, keenly aware that not all players like to play from downloadable software (though it is perfectly safe) and also acknowledging that there is an increasing, almost incessant demand for quality mobile slots products. With that in mind almost all new titles which come out are optimised for both Android and iOS device play. The games they produce are often innovative and unique, in online terms at least they are setting the standard for some of the old boy network of land casino developers to follow.
We can only hope in the future that the regulatory situation in the USA changes and we can once again play Microgamings titles stateside as the offerings from developers like Rival and RTG often don’t match up well in comparison.
