Microgaming Software Systems Ltd is a privately held Isle of Man based software development company which claims to have released the first genuine online casino in 1994.

The company is one of the leading software providers to the online gambling industry, with just under 100 casinos listed on its website. Online casino operators such as Casino Rewards, the Carmen Media Group, Fortune Lounge Group, Ladbrokes, 32Red, Fairground Gaming, Vegas Partner Lounge and Golden Star Lounge are among those who use Microgaming's software.

The standard online casino powered by Microgaming has approximately three hundred games including slots, video poker, blackjack and roulette.

Microgaming provides its casino games in download or Flash version. The company also offers progressive jackpots through their interlinked network of casino operators. Some of these games are developed by Derivco, a South African based software development subsidiary company.

Microgaming also has an online poker subsidiary called Microgaming Poker.

Formerly known as Prima Poker, the software allows players to play multiplayer poker games such as Texas hold 'em and five and seven card stud poker against real people in real-time.

In late February 2008, twenty-seven Microgaming-powered poker rooms closed when their licensee Tusk Investment Corporation Limited went into insolvent liquidation, leaving all players who had funds in those rooms to claim as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. It is not yet known whether players will recover any of their money.

While still known as Prima Poker, Microgaming Poker previously sponsored the Monte Carlo Millions poker tournament. (Credit: Wikipedia).

Microgaming New Games Release Advisory: February 2009

Sizzling Slots to Heat up February's Games

ISLE OF MAN - It's slot-tastic this month as Microgaming launches a slick hot slot with zero paylines, a fun-filled fishing vacation slot and a 'pub fruity' style slot that'll sort the men from the mice.

Guaranteed to fire up your senses with the hot hot hot themed slot with NO paylines, BURNING DESIRE...

Microgaming has introduced an exciting new concept in slot-playing game style. A 5 reel slot that has no Paylines and instead offers up to 243 ways to win!

BURNING DESIRE is an innovative new slot that presents a more exciting way to play, where instead of being constrained by the number of pay-lines, the player can generate more winning opportunities - up to 243 of them. 'Way Wins' means that all symbols act as adjacent scatters and any adjacent symbol combination then offers a win.

BURNING DESIRE is the first Internet slot to incorporate this radical new, player-friendly development, and it features Wilds, Scatters, Multipliers and Free Spins with achievable wins of 30 000 coins in the base game or up to 90 000 coins in Free Spins.

3, 4 or 5 bright gold coins will activate 15 Free Spins with re-triggers possible within those spins, trebling wins and providing hours of red hot gaming fun. The Burning Desire logo is Wild, with huge potential for ramping up winnings by forming rewarding combinations using the revolutionary Way Wins game rules.

The betting range will suit any pocket, running from 0.01 to 1.00, with a maximum bet of 250.00 to really open up the way!

Think you're the big cheese? Then Microgaming's interactive TRACK AND FIELDMOUSE slot will get your whiskers twitching...

TRACK AND FIELDMOUSE is a new British 'pub fruity' style slot that puts an athletic mouse on the trail of free spins, multipliers and generous cash awards, giving the player all the traditional interactive assists such as holds, various types of nudges and shifta moves that enable skill to boost good fortune.

The three reel, 1 pay-line format has three, instead of the usual one, paytables that enable the player to win Gold, Silver or Bronze level winning spins ranging from 1 to 50 on 6 different reel symbols and a feature screen. In the feature game, the top set of reels has 5 win lines, the bottom reels only 1.

The trail has various positions rich in cash and other rewards, but some drawbacks for the unlucky too, all adding to the thrill factor. Trail symbols feature our ace fieldmouse, along with victory torches, honor medals, winged shoes, a 500x Jackpot logo that can deliver up to 5 000.00....and at the lowest level even a nourishing chunk of cheese!

The 'pub fruit machine' style 3 reel 1 pay-line game has found favour with players who enjoy the challenge of an interactive play where skill is a real element in achieving the best results and TRACK AND FIELDMOUSE players can play with a wager range from 0.10 to 10.00.

This game is really easy to use and provides fantastic entertainment through a wide range of fast-paced elements enhanced by sharp, amusing graphics and unique sound effects.

Napsacks, rods and bait at the ready, it's time to go BEARLY FISHING...

Microgaming's latest standard slot, the 5 reel, 25 pay-line BEARLY FISHING is as much fun as going on your favourite vacation, depicting the salmon run on crystal clear rapids and comical bears desperately trying to catch them!

The fun filled theme in this game is carried by brilliant graphics redolent with shady forests, foaming rapids and amiable bears in a comical nature-based presentation that features Wilds, Scatters and a Free Spins second screen, with multipliers of up to 6x depending on how good the player is at hitting the right fishing spots!

Players will want to see the big bear across the reels as the Wild symbol, helping to build winning combinations by substituting for other symbols and the fishing basket icon which acts as the Scatter to deliver the Free Spins to lucky players. Select 1 out of 3 fishing spots and the number of flying salmon caught by Baby Bear will determine the up to 6x multiplier in the 15 Free Spins, with re-triggers as a definite possibility.

Players can hook 12 000.00 in the base game, and a whopping 72 000.00 on Free Spins, with a slew of other winning payouts possible in between. The betting range runs from as little as a 0.01 to 0.10 a line, with a maximum bet of 50.00; this game will provide hours of enjoyable slot action and the chance to score significant rewards whilst having a heap of fun.

Giving the player an added chance to double or even quadruple winnings is the popular Microgaming Gamble feature, where the right prediction on color and suit can substantially enhance the player's bottom line.
