About Microgaming
Without a doubt, Microgaming is one of the biggest software providers on the market. They claim to be the creators of the first-ever online casino, back in 1994. Although there is no definite proof, nobody contests this statement.
They are also the first provider to release a branded slot – Lara Croft: Tomb – in 2004. Also, in 2004, they were the first to ever launch a mobile casino. These are only a couple of their notable achievements.
At the moment, Microgaming has more than 700 games under its name. This is an incredible amount of games to provide. However, some of these games are developed by other studios – Microgaming just licenses and releases them, which is a common practice.
Just like most other providers, they’ve started by developing slots only. But as time passed, they saw an opportunity to expand. This is when they started making virtual table games, live casino games, and even scratch cards.
Out of all of these, more than 600 are slots, which is completely natural. Recently, they’ve started working more on live casino games. As such, they are one of the main providers of this type of game.
Microgaming owns licenses by, arguably, the two best regulators on the market:
- United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC)
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)
This is quite important to look for when researching a provider for one simple reason. That is the security of the software provider. Since these are two of the best regulators on the market, you can rest assured that Microgaming is a legit provider.
One thing that stands out from the rest of the providers is the monthly game release. Microgaming is dedicated to releasing at least one game a month. However, they usually release more than one, which is how they accumulated over 700 games.
