MICROGAMING WINS TOP CASINO SOFTWARE FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR
For the second year in a row, Microgaming
has received the highest industry honor from online gaming
enthusiasts, accepting the award for "Top Casino Software".
This distinction has been given to the software provider by
the readers of Gambling Online Magazine, one of the gaming
industry's top publications.
According to Gambling Online Magazine, Microgaming
continues to collect industry honors for a number of reasons:
"One of the critical success factors for Microgaming
is its commitment to players and its constant and persistent
product testing which not only ensures that the software is
bug-free and incredibly robust, but also concentrates on playability.
That commitment to players and product has made Microgaming
games some of the most user-friendly and intuitive on the
Internet."
Microgaming has kept its standing as industry
leader since 1994 by continuing to consistently deliver on
its promise to players. In the last year alone, the company
has released the revolutionary Viper software with advanced
features and new games designed specifically to meet international
player demand, as well as the state of the art Prima Poker
software. According to Lisa Wycherley, VP Sales of Microgaming,
"We constantly come out with new games and new software
in order to guarantee players the best game play experience
on the Internet. Our products are a direct result of research
into players’ needs, combined with our extensive experience
and cutting edge technology. We are very proud to have received
the Top Casino Software award for the second year running.
This award is especially significant for us because it comes
from the players".
Microgaming supplies the software to over
70 of the leading online casinos, including some of the oldest
and most recognizable names in online gaming. Gambling Online
Magazine writes: "Microgaming has been in the business
of developing casino software since 1994, and its experience
shows through in every casino they power. Customers at Microgaming
casinos can be sure that their software will be bulletproof,
that their casino operators have been carefully screened and
that they will get a top notch gaming experience with timely
product updates that work as surely as a Swiss watch".
It is by unfailingly insisting on these values that Microgaming
has become a known and trusted consumer brand among online
gaming enthusiasts.

reel, 9 payline video slot is exclusive to all Microgaming's
Viper powered casinos, making it a strong vehicle with serious
appeal for slots players looking for big thrill, high win

that for the really fortunate) with all wins inside this bonus

winnings on the Gamble Feature, choosing colour or suite and
going after a x2 or x4 increase on winnings.

this outstanding new product, with its advanced game features,
digital sound and dynamic graphics and animations. The game
is the product of extensive and original software development
and combines high volatility and excitement on several levels
through free spins. The action is boosted by the chance to
double or quadruple winnings that can climb as high as $10
000.
Microgaming's Mark Fredericks says,
"Thunderstruck is based on the revolutionary Viper software
platform which gives players a number of advanced features
such as quick spin and wagering flexibility enabling up to
45 coins of various denominations to be wagered on each spin.
Viper also offers a host of assists and customising options
to the player, adding more appeal to an already formidable
package. There is nothing even remotely like this outstanding
product on the Internet, and it is sure to be a major attraction."

$100,000,000
CASH Paid to Date on JackpotMadness.com: New Online
Jackpot Payout Record
Jackpot Madness, the world’s
#1 cash jackpot destination, has achieved yet another
industry milestone: the site has paid out over $100,000,000
to 3,112 winners in cash since its founding in 1999.
This enormous sum includes three CASH payments of over
$1,500,000 each to the Major Millions millionaires.
Jackpot Madness has been
establishing benchmarks for the industry, setting and
breaking its own records time and again. In a little
over a year, Jackpot Madness has awarded the three largest
online jackpots ever. Each jackpot of over $1,500,000
broke the previous industry record set by the last Major
Millions millionaire. The latest record was set on July
18th, when Jim L. won an amazing $1,683,524.64 cash
jackpot.
The incredible success
of Jackpot Madness can be attributed to a winning combination
of the best progressives on the web, the trusted Microgaming
name and a large and loyal player base. Many of the
Jackpot Madness winners have won multiple times, proving
their loyalty to the Microgaming progressives.
Marka H, an eight-time
Jackpot Madness winner says, "I am still going
for win number nine. Actually, I would really love to
hit all of them once. That leaves Cash Splash, LotsaLoot
and Major Millions. You just can’t beat the comfort
of playing in your own home. Also my largest casino
win doesn’t even come close to the big jackpots
I have won online."
Jennifer Nemirovsky, Press
Agent for Jackpot Madness, commented, "We’re
extremely proud of this milestone. We constantly work
to create new promotions for our players, to make sure
they keep coming back and Jackpot Madness continues
to be the world’s #1 jackpot destination. Players
appreciate the great games, cash payouts and excellent
support provided by the Jackpot Madness network casinos.
We thank our players for making us the premier progressive
portal and helping us achieve this incredible $100,000,000
payout record."
About Jackpot Madness:
Jackpot Madness, run by
Jumbo Jackpots of Curacao, is the world’s largest
online progressive network. All the jackpots won on
the casinos providing these games are offered through
full, direct cash payouts – the only games on
the Internet offering this benefit. The goal of the
portal is to provide jackpot enthusiasts with a single
destination offering a wide choice of progressives,
featuring frequent payouts and record-breaking jackpots.

Madness provides constantly updated information together
with links to over 70 casinos. Total payouts are over
$100,000,000 and counting.

Press Release by Microgaming
MICROGAMING UPS THE
STAKES
New games on Viper platform designed to meet player demand
Microgaming has launched nine innovative new
games tailored for specific markets, bringing to almost 200
the total number of games now available to its licensees.
All the new games are available on Microgaming's
Viper Casino Software, the most advanced front end system
in the industry. Microgaming continues to pioneer online gaming,
breaking new ground in global markets. Following research
into international players' needs, nine new Viper games have
been designed specifically to meet international player demand.
For example, high roller gamblers, particularly
those from the Asian cultures, will welcome High Limit Baccarat
with an ingenious new "peek" function that allows
a player to crank up the tension and excitement by turning
up a corner or side of the card, as is the custom.
In response to research which showed that
North American players wanted their own version of roulette,
Microgaming has introduced the all-new American Roulette game,
which comes with a layout typically found in North American
land-based casinos.
American-style blackjack was listed as a preference
as well, and the result is a trio of Vegas Downtown, Vegas
Strip and Atlantic City Blackjack games - all designed to
be appropriate to the regional customs, rules and appearances.
For the video slot gamblers, Big Top and Truck
Stop are exciting 5-reel, 9-line slots. Both have fun themes
and slick, quick action. Big Top will provide excitement for
intermediate to experienced slots players, while beginner
to intermediate level players will be thrilled with Truck
Stop.
The new games selection includes enhanced
renditions of established Microgaming games such as Spectacular
Wheel of Wealth and Triple Magic. The former is an exciting
mix of Spectacular and Wheel of Wealth, whilst Triple Magic
is an enhanced version of Double Magic.
These new games are already featured at many
Microgaming-powered casinos, including Rio Bay Casino, Crazy
Vegas Casino, First Web Casino, The River Belle, Royal Vegas
Casino, Grand Hotel Casino, Lucky Nugget Casino, Bella Vegas
Casino, 7 Sultans Casino, The Gaming Club, Vegas Slot, Golden
Reef Casino, Golden Tiger Casino, Captain Cook's Casino, Piggs
Peak Casino, Colosseum Casino and Vegas Country Casino. The
games are also being rolled out to all other Microgaming-powered
casinos.
Microgaming continues to be ahead of the game
with quick responses to international markets, providing their
licensees an unqualified edge over the competition. |
