Microgaming: an old name, a new site
Microgaming is one of the oldest names in online casino games, and today it is one of the hardest to pin down. The Microgaming website is now run by a company that sells Playboy-branded games and games made for particular markets, while Mega Moolah turns up in another company's filings.
Who is behind the name today
The old address, microgaming.co.uk, now forwards to microgaming.io. That site's privacy policy says it is run by a company called Blue Sakura, and its terms of use say the content belongs to "Blue Sakura or its licensors". It doesn't say where Blue Sakura is based or who owns it, and it gives no founding year. The about page says only that the brand has "decades of industry-shaping experience" behind it.
I'd normally open a profile with a date, a city and an owner. Here I can't give you any of the three from a source I'd stand behind, so I won't. That gap is the most useful thing on this page: a famous name on a game's loading screen tells you less about who made it than you'd think.
What the current Microgaming says it makes
The about page says the brand delivers "500+ games", is "live on over 1,000 websites" and is "available in 40+ languages and 150+ currencies". Its games page splits them into slots, live casino, "specialised RNG", which it describes as "arcade, fishing, Qi Pai and niche games crafted for specific markets", and a Playboy range. The games come from its own studios and from third-party partners, and it names an official partnership with Playboy.
The titles on the home page include Break Away Deluxe, Almighty Zeus Empire, Mahjong Reels, Sugar Mania 8000 and Playboy Speed Baccarat. None of those pages lists a licence or a regulator, and the site says it's for demonstration only. I'd read that as a sales site for casinos, which is what it says it is, and look for the licence where it matters: on the casino.
Where Mega Moolah is now
If you came here looking for Mega Moolah, Thunderstruck II or Immortal Romance, you won't find them on the current Microgaming site. They do appear in the registration statement that Games Global Limited filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2024. In it Games Global describes itself as incorporated in the Isle of Man on 8 July 2021, headquartered in Douglas, and it calls Thunderstruck II and Immortal Romance "classic brands from our portfolio". It lists Mega Moolah among its four progressive jackpot networks, with a minimum jackpot of €2 million, alongside WowPot, King Millions and Maple Moolah.
That filing is from 2024, so treat its figures as what Games Global said then. The Games Global website shows no public text today, only its name. The filing doesn't mention Microgaming at all, and I couldn't find a statement from either company, on its own site, that sets out how the games passed from one to the other. So I'll say what the documents show and stop there.
What a player should take from this
When a famous game sits in one company's filings and the name players look for sits on another company's website, the maker's name stops being much of a guide. What still works is the game itself. Open the help screen and read the return, as the RTP guide explains, and on a progressive like Mega Moolah, read how the jackpot is funded, which the jackpots page covers. The slots page has the rest.
Where you'll find the games
None of the casinos we have reviewed so far names Microgaming among its game makers; the casino directory filters by provider as reviews are added. Whether you can play any of them for money depends on where you live. If you're chasing a jackpot harder than you meant to, the responsible gambling page says where to get help.
