I still think of Microgaming as one of the industry’s proper old hands. The firm is headquartered on the Isle of Man, built its reputation on supplying online casino software, and is often credited with developing the first real online casino games software. It also runs MPN, an online poker network. The headline number is scale: more than 800 games across desktop and mobile.
If you only try a handful, I would start with the obvious flagships: Mega Moolah, 5 Reel Drive, Big Kahuna: Snakes and Ladders, House of Dragons, and King Arthur. Mega Moolah is the one tied most closely to the progressive jackpots network, while 5 Reel Drive feels more like a straightforward, classic reel slot with fewer distractions.
For players who care about published return figures, the often-quoted high RTP picks are Win Sum Dim Sum at 98%, plus Playboy and Beautiful Bones at 97%. I do not treat RTP as a promise, but it is useful for comparing games on the same bankroll. In free-play mode, these titles are also a sensible way to learn feature pacing before staking real money.
Because Microgaming supplies a huge portfolio, you will find its slots in a lot of real-money operators, including UK-facing ones. In practice, availability is rarely “everything”: some sites carry a broad spread, others just the big names and a small demo-style library (I have seen curated sets of roughly 70 titles). I look for a decent range beyond the jackpot headliners, plus clear game rules and stable play sessions.
Microgaming pitches its products as designed for seamless integration with third-party gaming systems, with access to the portfolio through a single integration point. For players, the key point is cross-platform coverage: iOS, Android, Windows and even Blackberry are mentioned, alongside tablets and PCs. Games come in downloadable, online and mobile versions, and are available in HTML5 and Flash formats, which reads a bit dated but does explain the wide device net.
Microgaming products are offered in 45+ languages, and the provider states there are more than 800 games in total. Progressive jackpots are available on mobile: in 2018, Mega Moolah reportedly produced a record payout of 18.9 million euros won on an Android device. If you prefer higher RTP options, Win Sum Dim Sum (98%), Playboy (97%) and Beautiful Bones (97%) are the commonly cited examples.
