What Microgaming makes
For most of thirty years Microgaming was a slots company on a large scale, and the famous titles are still in the catalogue that Games Global now runs: Mega Moolah, the progressive jackpot that set a Guinness world record for the largest online slot payout in 2015, along with Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II und Book of Oz. It never made these games alone; a network of independent studios built content for its Quickfire platform, and that whole arrangement is what changed hands in 2022.
Microgaming and blackjack
This is where the Microgaming name differs from the pure slots houses: it sits over one of the largest software blackjack catalogues in the business. The Gold Series alone runs to Classic Blackjack Gold, Atlantic City Blackjack Gold, Vegas Single Deck, Vegas Strip and Vegas Downtown Blackjack, Double Exposure and Multi-Hand Blackjack, most of them in single and multi-hand forms. There was a live dealer arm too, built as OnAir Entertainment, whose very first table was a live blackjack in November 2021. Keep the date in mind, though: the Gold Series tables and the live studio both went to Games Global in the 2022 sale and are distributed under its name now. As with any software blackjack, the number that matters is on the paytable, so look for a 3 to 2 payout and treat the side bets as the house’s money.
