Microgaming Continues Their HTML5 Push With More Additions

February 18, 2022

Over the past couple of years, we have seen a very specific strategy from Microgaming when it comes to their mobile offering. While most casino software providers are focused primarily on releasing titles for their standard Macromedia Flash-based mobile platforms, HTML5 has been what's on Microgaming's mind. This strategy is rooted in the need to think long-term, and they have been adding many of their most popular titles to this particular mobile platform to help build their portfolio. This has certain challenges because the games have to be basically rebuild from the ground up for the new platform, but Microgaming has shown that they are really up to the task with a recent update.

Two more HTML5 titles have been converted over. The first is Starlight Kiss, a romance-based game that was probably moved over to take advantage of the Valentine's Day holiday. This game has 30 paylines with a lot of thematic features like the opportunity to get a set of 14 free turns with all of your wins hit with a 2x multiplier. Aside from this, the Twisted Circus video slot was also added to the HTML5 software. This game has five reels and uses the popular 243-ways format that Microgaming really likes. It's a higher-volatility game, but it gives you a shot at 13 free spins where your wins are all multiplied by a factor of three.

What makes this move so interesting is that Starlight Kiss and Twisted Circus, while they are both popular games, they aren't necessarily in the elite tier of games like Avalon and Thunderstruck that Microgaming has produced. What this shows is that they aren't just trying to add their elite-tier games in an effort to sucker players in with the HTML5 platform. Instead, they are really working hard to build an HTML5 portfolio that's going to stand the test of time.

Microgaming is known for being the first online casino company to ever exist in this industry, and they have really been pushing the envelope for a long time. At this point, they are one of the two or three most successful online gambling software companies in the world, and their strategy of looking to the future is exactly what's at the heart of what they are doing with their HTML5 selection. This investment of time and resources is sure to pay off several years down the road when they dominate the mobile sector.
