Microgaming USA Casinos
IMPORTANT USA INFORMATION:
Microgaming casinos stopped taking registrations from ALL US players after the 9th November 2008. However, players with an existing Microgaming account could continue playing on the original software until June 2010. On the 1st June 2010, the American UIGEA law went into enforcement. As a result, the online casinos below all set up a new platform, still using a large subset of Microgaming games, which they then moved these players onto. As far as new players from the USA go, everyone is waiting with baited breath to see if - or rather, when - they will start taking new U.S players. The new company is not a Microgaming company, but has strong ties.
The main issue is that Microgaming haven't licenced all the games into this USA software yet. There is a very good selection of slot game and other games but many of the big name slots like The Lord of the Rings and Thunderstruck II are missing at present.
Irresepective of the above, please note that online gambling is illegal in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.
For online casinos that currently accept US players, check out the USA online casinos page.
For existing Microgaming USA players, the progressive jackpot slots that are listed to the left may no longer be available. They are dependent on having a good, reliable payment processor in the United States which because of the current legal situation, is hard to find. Most industry observers expect this to change in 2011.

Royal Vegas
Microgaming software
Another big and popular brand, this time from Fortune Lounge. I play here and they treat VIPs well, plus they flush cashouts on request. Have decent enough support and run slot tournaments too so I'd get this so that when they run a big money tourney you can play. Oh and they run the popular International Casino Games which are good comps. Once again, Fortune Lounge who run this casino have set up a US-facing brand.
Fortune Room
Microgaming software
I've been playing here a bit over the last few months and so far so good. Has all the games, and as a VIP I get regular bonuses so I can vouch for FR. Another online casino from the Fortune Lounge stable (all their casinos use Microgaming software).
Golden Riviera
Microgaming software
Part of Vegas Lounge and while I've not played here myself, I've had good reports and apparently their banking options are good for the US market. They do slot tournaments too so worth having for when they run a big money one.
Red Flush
Microgaming software
One of the newer Microgaming casinos and has developed a pretty good reputation already. They run all of the Microgaming slot tournaments along with their own weekly tournies with big cash prizes.
