Microgaming launches HTML5 games

Online gambling software developer Microgaming will be using the upcoming mGaming Summit to launch its latest product line, a suite of 11 HTML5 games with ‘swipe and tap’ interfacing and rich-featured graphics.

The suite of 11 includes photo-realistic high quality versions of the Isle of Man-based firm’s popular blackjack and roulette; some of the most popular Microgaming slots like Tomb Raider, Thunderstruck and Mermaids Millions; and a number of video poker games.

A company spokesperson said this week that the games are the first in an aggressive roll-out strategy that will see many additions in coming months.

HTML5 allows players to access quality games on their mobile devices, when and wherever they want. For operators with player details and balances on an existing system, Microgaming can integrate its cutting edge games to work with this system for the best possible player experience, the spokesperson said.

Neill Whyte, head of product channels at Microgaming, commented:

It offers industry firsts in mobile gaming solutions, custom-made to enable any enterprise from the online industry, mobile space or land-based arena, to enter the world of mobile casinos with ease.

“We have been at the forefront of mobile technology and continue to stay ahead of the game.”

Current games available on HTML5 include: Mermaid Millions, Thunderstruck I, Tomb Raider I, Aces and Faces, Aces and Eights, Bonus Deuces Wild, Deuces Wild , Double Double Bonus, Jacks or Better, European Gold Roulette and European Gold Blackjack.
