Microgaming
The originator of online casino software and home of the world-record Mega Moolah progressive jackpot, with nearly 30 years of industry history.
About Microgaming
Microgaming holds the distinction of being the first company to develop and deploy functional online casino software, making its debut in 1994. The company has remained one of the most significant players in iGaming for nearly three decades, most notably as the home of Mega Moolah — the progressive jackpot slot that has broken the world record for the largest online slot payout multiple times.
Company History
Microgaming was founded on the Isle of Man in 1994 and launched what is widely accepted as the first true online casino software. The company expanded rapidly through the late 1990s and 2000s, building a comprehensive platform covering all casino verticals. The introduction of Mega Moolah in 2006 marked a turning point — its progressive jackpot has generated winners of over £20 million, with each record-breaking payout generating major media coverage. Microgaming transitioned its content distribution to the Quickfire platform, which allowed third-party studios to publish games through its network.
Technology & Platform
Microgaming operates the Quickfire distribution platform, which aggregates games from Microgaming's own studios alongside content from a network of independent game studios including Iron Dog Studio, All41Studios, and Fantasma Games. The company was an early adopter of mobile-optimised HTML5 and provides operator tools for promotional campaigns, tournaments, and jackpot management.
Markets & Licensing
Microgaming products are available in most major regulated markets, with particular strength in the UK, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and European markets.
