Compare Microgaming Casinos

The term 'Microgaming Casinos' is widely used (including here at Casino Comparer) to describe online casinos that licence games from the popular casino games developer Microgaming, sometimes referred to as 'MG' or 'MGS'. Until around 2011, a Microgaming casino would use their games exclusively but since the trend is to mix and match games from different developers now, the concept of a dedicated Microgaming casino is disappearing.

That said, Microgaming's extensive download casino client is only available from their top-tier licencees with many other casinos taking a subset of their browser-based games. The download casino contains a lot more variants and slots but all the 'premium' games are present in the browser-based versions too.

You won't find any land-based slot games here (check out casinos with Novomatic games or IGT games for those) but there are several hundred others and many of them are very, very popular games. Thunderstruck 1 and 2, Immortal Romance, The Dark Knight and Break The Bank are perennial favorites. The browser-based slots, in my opinion, play just as good if not better than the versions in Microgaming's download casino.

Like most online casinos, keno options are limited and it's not the best version here. I prefer the King Keno available from IGT myself or even the version available at Playtech casinos leaves Microgaming's version looking a bit flat. However, if you like video poker then the choice is the best out there. You will find pretty much every variation of VP you can think of (even Multistrike dressed up as 'Level Up' Poker) and with plenty of multihand options including 1, 4, 10, 50 and 100 hands. If video poker is your thing, the download casino is a better bet than the no-download version although those aren't bad - just less choice.

If you are a 'traditional' casino games player who likes Roulette, Blackjack, 3 Card Poker, Baccarat or similar games then Microgaming's download client is the best of all software options out there in my opinion. The choice is fantastic and the games play well.

My one caveat might be the live dealer games. Microgaming have a deal with Playboy to provide what essentially amounts to several sets of big ears which their dealers duly wear. It doesn't really make the live casino experience any better to be honest but overall it's OK. I personally think there are better options out there.
