Software, Graphics and Interface: The software is available for download and to play online. The downloadable version has a wider variety of games, better graphics and more technical reliability. However, the online version's skin is identical (except that it offers less games), and it is compatible with all operating systems and will not occupy your disk space.

The graphics at Microgaming are branded and unique, the themes are innovative and the graphics are remarkable, there is a good balance and they do not get in the way of the action. The sounds are also superb, they are very realistic giving the sense of a real Casino.

The software is user-friendly and you will not find any real problems on how to use it as it is all displayed in an easy way.

Range of Games. Their software powers over 400 games and no one offers as many Slots as they do. Their huge progressive jackpots, the chance to participate in Gambling tournaments and their list of video poker options makes this software stand out from the regular Casino software providers.

The software will also offer strategy information and description of tall of their games for newbies to understand them.

Special Features.

• Auto-Play Function. As a very unique feature, the software will allow you to take breaks and hands will be played automatically if you select this option. It is said to use the perfect betting strategy for each game, but honestly I think this is very subjective.
• Multi-Player Function. The software will let you interact with players around the world, even at BlackJack and Slots.

Credibility and Reputation. Microgaming has a great reputation within the industry and the benefits offered to both casinos and players are always certain. Also, most of its operators have maintained the same reputation within the Gambling business.

PlayCheck and CashCheck allows Microgaming's customers to see a full detailed report on their activity for the past two years.

Perhaps something else to add to this section is that most of MicroGaming's operators pay withdrawals quickly. MicroGaming is also with AIM listed processing company, Datacash Group plc to ensure the seamless integration of payment processing for Microgaming powered casinos. To put it simply, their software and the casinos that use it are reliable.

Microgaming Downside

Disk Space. The latest version of the Viper software is quite big and will take hundreds of megabytes from your disk space. The initial download is much smaller but it offers a less wide game variety.

Dispute Mediation. Microgaming does not offer a service for dispute mediation. However, most of their casinos are certified by dispute mediators like eCOGRA (which was founded by MicroGaming).

Cards' Speed. The speed of their cards can be slow, but this is also subjective and up to players' preferences. Personally, I like fast action and I like cards to move fast.

Small things that could get annoying.

• No control over game auto-download.
• Pre-game videoclips.

They genuinely care about their software ability to benefit the industry as a whole, by providing tools that will ease everyone's way around the software the ensure that casinos, players and themselves will all get benefits by working together.
