Editorial Overview
Microgaming is one of the oldest names in the business. It built online casino software in 1994 and is widely credited with powering the first functional online casino, then launched Cash Splash in 1998, generally cited as the first online progressive jackpot slot. The brand sits on the Isle of Man. Since May 2022 the Microgaming-branded portfolio and its Quickfire distribution have belonged to Games Global, which runs the content as a multi-studio aggregator of more than forty partner studios. That gives a high-volume release schedule, and the catalogue is most associated with the Mega Moolah and WowPot progressive jackpot networks.
Editorially the catalogue is broad rather than uniform. The heritage titles carry real weight, and the jackpot network has a long record behind it, including a Guinness World Record payout in 2015. The breadth that comes with forty-plus studios also means quality varies title to title. A release carrying the Microgaming or Games Global name is not an automatic recommendation on heritage alone. We score every release against the same rubric, whatever the studio name on it.
A heritage supplier with a deep back catalogue and a famous jackpot network, but we judge each new release on the merits, not the badge.
Signature titles: Mega Moolah · Immortal Romance · Thunderstruck II · Cash Splash
Microgaming FAQ
- What are the newest Microgaming slots?
- New Microgaming releases land on this page as soon as they go live, newest first. We add each one to the radar and review it against the same rubric, so you can see what just arrived and whether it holds up.
- Can I play Microgaming slots for free?
- Yes. Every Microgaming slot we review comes with a free demo you can play in the browser, no signup and no deposit. We test that demo hands-on before we score it.
- What are the best Microgaming slots right now?
- We highlight the Microgaming slots we rate highest above, ranked by our review score. The standout few earn our Best New Slot mark. We score every release on the same Skip, Maybe or Yes scale, so the studio name never buys a better grade.
- Are Microgaming slots available at UK casinos?
- Yes. The Microgaming-branded portfolio is distributed widely across UK Gambling Commission-licensed casinos, now under Games Global, which is licensed by the UKGC and a number of other regulators. Availability of any specific title still varies by operator, so the slot you want may not appear at every site.
- Who owns Microgaming now?
- The Microgaming-branded games portfolio and the Quickfire distribution business were sold to Games Global Limited in May 2022. The original Microgaming entity later rebranded to Apricot Investments in February 2025. For editorial purposes we treat the Microgaming slots you see today as sitting under Games Global.
- What is Mega Moolah?
- Mega Moolah is a shared progressive jackpot network running across a range of Microgaming and Games Global titles. It uses four tiers and is best known for a Guinness World Record payout in October 2015, with reported lifetime payouts past a billion euros. We do not present any jackpot as a value or fairness judgement.
- What is the typical RTP for a Microgaming slot?
- Microgaming and Games Global titles span a wide RTP range across a large catalogue, and progressive jackpot games in particular can sit lower than standard slots because a slice feeds the jackpot. There is no single figure for the studio. Always check the specific RTP shown in the slot's info panel at the casino you are playing, since the same title can be configured differently across sites.
- What is Microgaming best known for?
- Heritage and jackpots. It is credited with powering the first functional online casino in 1994 and launching Cash Splash, generally cited as the first online progressive jackpot slot, in 1998. Today it is most associated with the Mega Moolah and WowPot networks and a deep back catalogue including Immortal Romance and Thunderstruck II.
- How does Microgaming compare to NetEnt?
- Both are first-generation online slot pioneers of similar age and long stood as reference points for classic premium slots. Microgaming, now under Games Global, runs as a high-volume multi-studio aggregator with a famous jackpot network, while NetEnt is associated with a tighter, more curated set of signature titles. We score releases from either on the same rubric.
