I'm interested to see how almost everyone here (sorry US people) rate these two providers side-by-side these days? And although I play slots mostly now, this poll is equally as applicable to table games and video poker players also.
I've been playing both recently and up until earlier this year, Playtech's slots edged it for me but now I find I am back playing MG more and I have tried to work out why. I've always preferred MG's video poker though.
It's a combination of factors. Over-exposure to the games leads to boredom to some degree but I've never ever got bored of Thunderstruck and Great Blue. Microgaming's more recent games Immortal Romance, Playboy, Girls With Guns are all excellent. But so too are Playtech's recent Avengers, John Wayne and Iron Man 3.
I think the main reason I am playing more MG is that the betting increments suit my game better (50 spins, no feature, increase the bet etc) and you can't do that with the new Playtech slots - not without re-mortgaging anyway! They just don't suit medium-rollers unfortunately.
I'm particularly interested in how people who play BJ, Roulette and other card games compare the two?
