Virgin Games Partners With Microgaming

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - June 21, 2010) - Virgin Games (www.virgingames.com), the leading online gaming company, has today announced that it has partnered with Microgaming, the world's largest online gaming software provider. The partnership will allow Virgin Games to further enhance its offering by providing Microgaming's market leading flash casino games to its customers, through Microgaming's pioneering Quickfire software.

Virgin Games has established a direct integration with Microgaming, giving its customers access to a large variety of games that will be launched over the coming months. The first game to be launched is Thunderstruck, a five reel, nine payline video slot game, with a Wild and a Scatter symbol, a Free Spin Bonus Feature and a Gamble feature.

Microgaming is the world's largest gaming software provider and powers over 120 online Casinos, 40 Poker rooms and a number of market leading Bingo sites, worldwide. This integration, using Microgaming's Quickfire software, reinforces Virgin Games strategy to bring its customer a wider choice of game content and follows integrations with top tier content providers such as Wagerworks, Cryptologic, Freemantle and Ash Gaming.

Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Games, commented:

"Our customers have told us that they want a wider range of games and specifically they would love to play Microgaming games as a part of the Virgin Games offering. Since the launch of our custom built platform back in 2008, we have been introducing a range of new gaming content to our sites and Virgin Games now has one of the widest ranges of casino and slot games available in the UK. The addition of Microgaming, the world leader in its field, is a big step forward for Virgin Games customers and we look forward to launching its games with a range of promotions over the coming months."

Founded in 2004, Virgin Games has over 1,000,000 players and more than 200 games on its site. A growing selection of games can be found at Virgin Games from a number of games producers including WagerWorks, Cryptologic, Freemantle, Endemol, Ash Gaming and now Microgaming.

I wonder if they will let Canadians back in to play with the MG platform...

Hi guys,

Restrictions on Canadian players are imposed at software provider level (Wagerworks).

However, we've been serving games from a range of other suppliers for a few months now: Cryptologic, Ash gaming, Fremantle, NextGen, Electracade, etc...with Microgaming as the brand new addition.

All of their games can be accessed by Canadian players.

As a rule of thumb, if the gaming software provider allows Canada, so does Virgin Games.

Hope that helps, cheers.
