History of Microgaming

It was way back in 1994 when Microgaming released the very first online casino. Back then, the Internet was still in its infancy, and online gambling was yet to take over the world. However, Microgaming spotted their opportunity and moved quickly.

As other companies began to launch their own online casino offerings, Microgaming decided to focus on leasing their successful gambling software to other providers instead. Remaining innovative, they are credited with releasing the first networked progressive jackpot on a slot called ‘Cash Splash.’ This led to them receiving their first (of many) awards in the industry.

Microgaming continue to set a number of world ‘firsts’ through their innovation but they are also a company that takes their responsibility towards online gamblers seriously. They are a founding member of eCOGRA (e-commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) which shows they commit to fair, responsible gaming. They also actively support their local community through an initiative called PlayItForward which raises money for local charities and supports up-and-coming sports stars.
