Microgaming

MicrogamingMicrogaming is one of the true giants when it comes to developing games for online casinos. This enterprise has been active for 25+ years (which is enormously long by online gaming standards) and have built up a portfolio consisting of over 850 games. A majority of the Microgaming games are slots, but the selections also includes table games, video poker, scratchcards, and more.

Since the game selection is so huge, and some of the games are quite old and rely on Flash technology, many online casinos only offer a fraction of the total portfolio.

Nowadays, Microgaming is releasing games based on the HTML5 standard, which means that they work excellent not just on desktops but on mobile devices as well. With a HTML5 game, there is no need to specially adapt the game for mobile play. In addition to the new games, Microgaming is also continously converting more and more of their old favourites from Flash to HTML5.

  • Microgaming owns and runs the famous Quickfire Platform, which is utilized by a wide range of online casinos. This platform contains both Microgaming games and games that Microgaming have handpicked from their selection of high-quality independent providers.
  • Microgaming runs a live casino where Blackjack, Baccarat and Roulette can be enjoyed in high definition and with multi-table capacity.

Slots

Over the years, Microgaming has created hundreds of slots, and their porfolio contains everything from retro bandits to top-notch modern games.

One example of a Microgaming slot that remains immensely popular despite being quite old now is Immortal Romance, a high RTP low-variance slot with a vampire theme and several exciting bonus games.

Another gem is Thunderstruck II, high RTP slot inspired by the Nordic gods. Instead of traditional paylines, there are 243 win-ways. When playing Thunderstruck II you can win up to 2.4 million coins!

If you’re looking for something a bit more modern, we suggest you take a loook at Lara Croft Temples and Tombs, a new 2019 slot developed for Microgaming by the Triple Edge Studio. It comes packed with Rolling Reels, exploding symbols, multipliers, and a powerful wild symbol. With the help of the golden scarab, you may discover a path to the lucrative golden scarab jackpot. This game is very pleasing to the eye, since a lot of effort have gone into making the striking artwork that chronicles our Egyptian adventure. As the expedition moves along, you might get a chance to enter the Ancient Tomb of Free Spins.
