Microgaming Online Casinos - Microgaming Casino Reviews

The following Microgaming casinos are very reputable online casinos and are among what many industry observers would call the best online casinos out there. Microgaming has arguably the best games platform of any casino software provider with over 250 games as I write, including all the major casino games and a large choice of video poker games and slots. Microgaming casinos are by-and-large very well regulated and have the best reputation of any software provider. The Microgmaing casinos listsed all have both a casino software download option and a Flash casino, the former carrying around twice as many games as the latter but requiring a large download, while the Flash Microgaming casino software is instant play as you would expect.

VERY IMPORTANT - USA RESIDENTS
Microgaming software-based online casinos will no longer accept US players after Sunday, November 9th 2008. Players who have registered accounts on or before the 9th November will be able to continue playing. Therefore I would suggest registering at a few NOW before it's too late, even if you aren't sure if you will play there for real. From November 10th 2008, no online casinos using Microgaming software will accept your registration.

Review: Vegas Slot Casino is part of the "Mini NV" online casinos group operating on the excellent Microgaming casino software. Over 300 games are now available at Vegas Slot but despite the name, there are plenty of video poker and table games too, although as you would expect, the volume of slots is large! You'll find around 100 popular land-based casino games like European roulette (single zero roulette), Blackjack, Pontoon etc and stacks of different video poker and bonus poker games. The casino sometimes offers a free $15 no-deposit bonus to entice new players but restrictions apply when it comes to cashing it out. Banking methods are varied and comprehensive, support is generally pretty good and it's a safe casino to play. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), Instacash, Instadebit, Moneybookers, NETeller, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Another member of the Mini NV Vegas online casinos group operating on the excellent newbie-friendly Microgaming platform with the excellent "autoplay" and video poker "auto-hold" features for the inexperienced strategist. Vegas7 has a huge selection of games from table games to slots and loads of banking options, although the 24 hour "reverse withdrawal" time applies to cashins which I'd like to see reduced. That said, Vegas7 casino has a good rep and I rarely, if ever, see a complaint about it at Casinomeister which is a very good indication that Vegas7 is doing things right. Their email support turned out to be reasonably fast although the answer to my question was a little ambiguous. I can't say that Vegas7 casino has any standout feature per-sé, but nonetheless it's a safe place to play and have some fun. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Citadel, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, Instacash, Instadebit, FirePay, Moneybookers, NETeller, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Trident Lounge has a good reputation for looking after players and features in my top 10 online casinos. Running on Microgaming software, games choice is huge and although the signup bonus is small compared to many other online casinos, the wagering conditions make it easier to clear the bonus. The casino accepts deposits through a large variety of eWallets and credit cards in euros, dollars or UK pounds. Generally regarded as one of the better online casinos, note that the Trident website does not run in Firefox (as I write). Trident Lounge will also reduce the Reverse Pending time if a player requests so via email - very good to see! The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, FirePay, NETeller, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Nostalgia casino switched to Microgaming, joined the Casino Action group in 2006 and has subsequently been taken over by Casino Rewards group. With autoplay, auto-hold and over 300 games, Nostalgia has always had a good reputation. Cashouts aren't as quick here as at some other online casinos, but it is a trustworthy group and you can't fault the number of games here - over 350 at the last count! The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Citadel, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, FirePay, Instadebit, Moneybookers, NETeller, UseMyBank, Ukash, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Intertops online casino was the last Microgaming casino to take USA Residents but no more unfortunately. However, it has some 350 casino games in it's download version and around 150 in the instant play flash casino and is popular in Europe. It also has it's own banking system that seemed a little complicated the first time I used it, but does work well, and you can switch funds between the casino, poker room and sportsbook easily. On the downside, Intertop's process for ID checks means your first cashout could take 14 days, which is longer than most online casinos, but once you are over that, it's 48 hours or less. There are better Microgaming online casinos listed here IMO, but it's still a pretty good operation with a good (and long!) track record. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), FirePay, NETeller, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Launched in 2006, Grand Mondial (formerly Grand Monaco) casino is a Microgaming Viper casino run by experienced industry pros who have branched out on their own. It certainly looks the part and they've picked the best software with over 200 casino games available and a professional stance on banking and licensing. The company is based in Gibraltar (a strict licensing jurisdiction) and is licenced in Kahnawake (not so strict!). The casino has a wealth of banking deposit options (see below) and some interesting promotions, in particular one that caught my eye was an extra 5% (up to $5,000) to any player who wins a progressive jackpot at the casino. While their are a growing number of online casinos using MG software, this looks like one to watch in my opinion. Have to say that the bonus terms are confusing, but there are two types of bonus to choose from and they are credited automatically. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Citadel, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, FirePay, Moneybookers, NETeller, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Ukash, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Challenge casino is another Microgaming online casino from the popular Casino Rewards stable. It has some 300+ games and fast support although payouts tend to be a little slower than other Microgaming casinos. Loyalty points and promotions are grouped across the online casinos run by the group, which means you can play any of their online casinos and carry your rewards around with you. Watch out for the bonuses here too - at time of writing, there was a massive $1,000 bonus on offer with a pretty respectable playthrough requirement and loyalty bonuses are plentiful. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Citadel, Ecocard (non US), FirePay, Instadebit, NETeller, PaySpark, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Betdirect casino and sportsbook has recently been acquired by 32Red PLC and is one of several online casinos on the excellent Microgaming casino software, with some 300+ games to play. It is easy to switch funds between sports, poker and the online casino and the proprietary banking system ensures faster withdrawals. UK and European players are accepted as with most online casinos, but not USA players. There is also a 100% signup bonus for new players. 32Red are a class act with excellent support. The casino accepts the following banking options: Credit and Debit cards.
