Microgaming is seen by most industry experts as the pioneer of the online
casino industry. Some even call it the "Microsoft" pf the industry.
Although there are no formal figures, Microgaming casinos are probably
responsible for about 70% of online casino gambling revenues. It is not
difficult to see why. First of all, as a complete package the software is the
best. Microgaming releases new games every quarter (and sometimes even more frequently)
and other casino software providers simply can't keep up.
Secondly, Microgaming imposes very strict probity requirements on their
operators, and very tight controls once they have awarded a license. This
includes auditing processes carried out by PriceWaterHouseCoopers to ensure game
fairness. This results in more trustworthy operators using the Microgaming
platform.
Finally, Microgaming is at the forefront of innovation. If it is not
the largest progressive jackpot games online, its the launch of new games such
as the Prima Poker live poker network. Microgaming has also been instrumental in
establishing one of the most powerful industry accreditation bodies - ECOGRA
Herewith an extract from Microgaming mission statement:
"Our mission is to develop software and management systems that allow our
operators to manage reliable, credible and profitable online gaming enterprises
and to champion the interests of the player through implementation of fair play,
transparency initiatives and the promotion of responsible gaming.
We have focused on this single effort since 1994, when we were the first
company to develop a fully operational online casino system. Since then we have
consistently led the market and set new standards in innovation. By consistently
releasing state-of-the-art management tools and quality games, we have been able
to elevate the professionalism of our industry.
We utilize our industry-leading position to provide competitive advantages
for our operating partners."
