Microgaming content is also available through QuickFire, offering a supremely versatile, unique gaming experience for operators and players.
Microgaming provides the software for the world’s largest Progressive Jackpot Network and has paid out over €320million in total. Its software also created the world’s first online slot tournament millionaire and one of the largest online jackpot wins in history, at a staggering €6.37m. As a founding member of eCOGRA and IGC, Microgaming is at the forefront of initiatives that set the highest standards in the gaming industry, most notably in the areas of fair gaming, responsible operator conduct and player protection.
Since 2003, Microgaming's software has powered one of the world's most established online poker networks, the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN). Operators on the MPN include many of the industry's best-known brands, such as Ladbrokes, Unibet, 32Red and Stan James. In 2011, the Microgaming Poker Network won the eGaming Review B2B Award for Best Poker Network.
A Boardroom Transformation - Microgaming's Network Management Board
Microgaming's Network Management Board is a game-changing management body comprised of representatives from Microgaming, qualifying operators on the Microgaming Poker Network and industry experts. Its primary objective is to serve the network, which it does through the development of network marketing policies and penalties, management of the development roadmap and implementation of initiatives to optimise the network ecology.
A body like the Network Management Board has never before existed in the online poker industry, and it is viewed by operators and the industry in general as the natural next step in the evolution of online poker networks. The Microgaming Poker Network is the only network that is both willing and able to lead such a step change in the industry.
The formation of the Network Management Board is a key component of a project to transform the Microgaming Poker Network into a network in which all operators contribute towards the success of one another and to the network as a whole.
The transformation of the network has thus far resulted in an increase of over 15% in player values since 2010.
