Microgaming is a privately held gambling software company based in the Isle of Man. ^[1] The company first developed online casino software in 1994. ^[2]

Overview

In May 2009, Microgaming's progressive slot Mega Moolah paid out $6,374,434, the largest online casino pay-out to date. A new Guinness world record was set on 6 October 2015 when it paid £13,209,300 (equivalent to €17,879,645 at the time) to a British soldier. ^{[3] [4]}

In May 2016, the company launched games for virtual reality using Oculus Rift technology with a focus on roulette. ^[5]

In 2022, Microgaming completed the sale of its distribution business and online games portfolio to Games Global Limited, a newly established private capital-backed company. The transaction marked a significant strategic shift for Microgaming, which has since focused on providing platform systems, licensing services, and regulatory compliance solutions for the iGaming industry. ^{[6] [7]}
