Microgaming Slots and Games

Microgaming’s games list has more than 300 slot machines and they release new online slots each month. They often release innovative games that do not resemble any classic slots. Most of their video and online slots have 5 reels, a large number of multi level bonuses and 20 to 25 paylines, but you can often come across slots with a multitude of ways to create a winning combination. The majority of slots by Microgaming let you stop the reels prematurely and if you click on a symbol, a list showing the payouts for its combinations will pop up. 

The themes of the video slots have a wide range and include fantasy, franchises, classic slots, fruits and zombies. They have also developed many brand name slot machines that are themed to movies and TV series, such as Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Game of Thrones and Bridesmaids.

Cash Splash was one of the very first online slots with a progressive jackpot and provided an opportunity for customers to download the games and play online. Originally their online games and casino games were released online via Flash whereas the company has now moved to using HTLM5. Microgaming announced the greatest win in online casino history with the game Mega Moolah in May, 2009, when a player received 6,374,434 USD. Later, a new record was reached in October 2015 with a prize payout of 13,209,300 GBP. In May, 2016, Microgaming also launched games that use Virtual Reality.
