Microgaming Wins Digital Product of the Year Award
Date Added:
The Global Gaming Awards 2015 took place this year on Monday 28th September in Las Vegas at the Venetian Palazzo Congress Center, Las Vegas. This is the second ever Global Gaming Awards and for a second year running Microgaming managed to win the Digital Product of the Year award for its 3D rendered Jurassic Park slot machine which is the first such product to use Parallax Scrolling effects.
This branded online slot was first launched in August 2014 and it has become a firm favourite for millions of online slot enthusiasts. Microgaming also won the Digital Gaming Innovation award for its pioneering work in Virtual Reality and Wearable Technology online casino games such as VR Roulette. This game uses Oculus Rift wearable technology and it transports players to a surreal 3D world where they can play VR roulette. The technology tracks your movements with the Leap Motion 3D Controller and projects this info to the Oculus Rift DK 2 headset.
Speaking about the successful evening was the CEO of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever. He said, “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.”
He also went on to say, “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. 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. A big thanks and well done to my team for this huge achievement!”
Microgaming also hit the headlines recently when its Mega Jackpot reached an incredible CA$12,000,000.00. At the time of writing this progressive jackpot is now worth closer to CA$13,000,000.00 and you can play to win this jackpot on slots such as Mega Moolah and The Dark Knight. Also keep an eye out for two new slots from Microgaming which arrived in Canadian online casinos towards the beginning of September. These new slots included Lucky Zodiac and Rugby Star.
If you want to play on either of these new slots today or if you want to play for that tempting progressive jackpot on the Mega Moolah or The Dark Knight slots, head over to Crazy Vegas Casino, All Slots Casino, Jackpot City Casino, Royal Vegas Casino or Maple Casino. The manager and spokesperson for Crazy Vegas Casino, Harry Von Schlussel, said, “We’re astounded that this great progressive slot still hasn’t awarded a winner! We’ve seen a major influx of players playing this in the hopes of becoming instant millionaires.”
