History
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1994 | The Microgaming brand appeared. |
| 2021–2022 | Games Global acquired Microgaming's distribution business, game IP, progressive jackpot network and stakes in a number of studios. The deal was announced in November 2021 and completed on 3 May 2022. |
Since that deal, the classic games associated with Microgaming belong to the Games Global catalogue. Today's Microgaming releases games under the same brand, but the company does not disclose who currently owns this business.
Tools for operators
Besides games, Microgaming offers operators promotional tools. The main one is MG Rewards, a plug-in loyalty system with tournaments and multi-currency support.
Another part of the offering is branded and custom games: Microgaming creates content for specific operators and for individual markets.
Microgaming games
The catalogue is divided into three categories. Slots form its core. According to the company, Microgaming Live includes more than 15 games, among them exclusive Playboy and FashionTV tables: Playboy Speed Baccarat, Playboy Roulette and FashionTV Blackjack. The Specialised RNG section brings together arcade and fishing games, as well as Qi Pai for specific markets.
All three slots below have high or very high volatility, but each works differently: in one, wins build up in a tower; in another, collected statues trigger the bonus; in the third, the player chooses the number of lines.
| Slot | RTP | Volatility | Max win | Grid and lines | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kong's Jungle Tower | 96.30%, 94.20%, 92.20%, 86.75% | high | 5,000x | 3-4-5-4-3, 720 ways | 26 November 2025 |
| Moonlight Romance – The Awakening | 96.24% | very high | 10,000x | 5×3, 243 ways | 30 July 2025 |
| Break Away Deluxe | 96.88% | high | 3,200x | 5×5, 18 / 38 / 68 / 88 selectable lines | 16 January 2019 |
Kong's Jungle Tower is a slot with a vertical tower to the left of the reels, where cash prizes and jackpots are stored. It was released on 26 November 2025. The reels in a 3-4-5-4-3 layout give 720 ways to win in both directions. The game features Collect symbols, multiplier upgrades, jackpots and free spins. The hit frequency is 31.9% and depends on the configuration. The RTP also depends on the version: the lowest option, 86.75%, is noticeably below the usual 95–97%. Stakes range from 0.20 to 50.00, and the max win is 5,000x.
Moonlight Romance – The Awakening is a vampire-themed slot on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win. It was released on 30 July 2025. The bonus here is triggered not by scatters but by coloured lion statues: each statue collected gives a chance to activate one of three free spin modes. Stakes range from 0.30 to 15.00, and the max win is 10,000x.
Break Away Deluxe is an ice hockey slot and a sequel to Break Away, made together with the exclusive studio Stormcraft Studios. It was released on 16 January 2019. It has a 5×5 grid with rolling reels, and the player chooses 18, 38, 68 or 88 lines before playing. Free spins feature a multiplier trail and growing wilds. Stakes range from 0.18 to 44.00, and the max win is 3,200x.
Other slots from the brand include Lucky Twins Wilds Link&Merge, Almighty Zeus Wilds Link&Merge, Sugar Mania 8000, Bass Catch Super UP and Go! Fishing: Reelin' Fortunes.
