Prestigious Double Awards for Microgaming

Microgaming, the Isle of Man based online casino software provider, has proven once again why it is considered one of the best in the business.

The group recently secured not one, but two successes at the 2015 Global Gaming Awards held this week in Las Vegas.

Microgaming won Digital Product of the Year for its hugely popular Jurassic Park online slot, showing once more why this group leads the way in branded slot material.

In addition, Microgaming won Digital Gaming Innovation of the Year for its work on its VR Roulette game.

The chief executive officer of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever, said about the double win: "We are so proud to win not one but two awards at this highly prestigious and credible award ceremony!"

"Jurassic Park is an incredible game and the fact that the experience is just as impressive on mobile as it is online really does blow people away. But to win an award for innovation is particularly close to my heart as we have always worked so hard to stay several steps ahead of the industry, predicting trends and ensuring that our content works on emerging technology."

Innovation Award for VR Roulette

Microgaming's management team is especially proud of the VR Roulette reward, as it puts the group at the fore of innovation in the cut-throat online gambling business.

Using the Oculus Rift wearable technology, VR (virtual reality) Roulette transports players to a casino in cyberpace, providing them with an unbeatable gaming experience. 

Players wear the Oculus Rift DK Headset with Leap Motion 3D Controller so that the technology can offer them the ultimate three-dimensional virtual roulette session.

"For those that have seen our slots work on smart watches and experienced our VR Roulette product, it is an incredible insight into the future of online gaming," said Raatgever. "A big thanks and well done to my team for this huge achievement!"
