Nonetheless, I still play at Microgaming casinos on a weekly basis - far more than I play
at
IGT casinos because the quality of
game is so much better. As a result, there are a lot of online casinos using Microgaming
software out there. On the whole, they are all safe and many have very good reputations.
this is because Microgaming are alittle more fussy about who licences their games, they
have tighter restrictions in place (for example, all Microgaming casinos must have a
reserve fund put aside, a large amount that must remain untouched) plus, they are a lot
more expensive! Consequently you tend to get serious companies using their software
platform.
A number of the slot games you can find here at
OnlineCasinos Vegas are
part of Microgaming's suite and are available in the download and the Instant Play
versions of each online casino I recommend below. This includes Cashapilla, Kathmandu,
Thunderstruck and Tombraider of course. The download version of a Microgaming casino can take
a while to install because there are so many games, but IMO is well worth it. If you are
less patient, all of the slots mentioned - and more - are available in the Instant Play
option also.
I've lost count of the number of Microgaming casinos I have played at over the last decade,
but what I do know is that a handful are still on my hard drive and I still play them
regularly. I have listed these below and explained what sets them apart from the others
and why they were never uninstalled by my twitchy, trigger-happy index finger! Oh, and
before I go on, once again I'm afraid that
USA residents are not accepted at any
Microgaming casino - not just those listed here. Check out the list of safe
RTG casinos that do accept Americans
as an alternative.
32Red Casino
The benchmark. And I just don't mean for Microgaming casinos but for all online
casinos! It wins award after award and alhough bonuses are fairly irregular, service,
game fairness, promotions and the general treatment of a player as an individual rather
than a number is what every online casino shold be looking to achieve, but few get close.
If you are going to download one Microgaming casino, download ths one...it was the second
ever casino I signed onto all those many years ago and it is the first one I visit when
I want to play some Microgming slots. They also have daily Slots and BJ tournaments.

Ladbrokes Casino
I'm guessing that pretty much everyone will have heard of Ladbrokes who are famous for
their sportsbook primarily. But they have also done an excellent job with their online
casino too. They have all the Microgaming games of course, and a really nicely laid out
Instant Play casino too. Very few bonuses to go around, but cashouts are ultra-fast:
Neteller cashouts arrive the same day, sometimes within minutes, and bank transfers
are within 48 hours (UK) on most occasions. You can also tarnsfer funds between sports,
casino, poker and bingo at the click of a button and playin a variety of slot tournaments
and Blackjack tournaments. A top notch casino but be aware you will feel like a number rather
than a name, simply because they are so big. But everything runs like clockwork.

Roxy Palace Casino
Although a leser known name, Roxy are in here for one reason: their VIP scheme is the best I have
come across to date. There bet limits aren't as high as at Laddies or 32Rd (above), but the more
you play you start to appreciate the loyalty rewards. At one time, I was getting 3 bonuses
a week, no deposit required! Of course all bonuses have wagering requirements, but with their
tournaments and promotions I was always getting stuck in. It probably helps that over a 2 year
period I came out up on the slots, but hey, I still rate them highly as an operation. Never got
any hassle, payouts were prompt (although not as fast as those above) and service friendly.

Jackpot City Casino
Jackpot City casino is part of the big Belle Rock Entertainment group who run several
Microgaming casinos, all of which I have tried and all of which are relatively similar. I
stuck with Jackpot City because I won $45,000 on a $10 bet on one of their slots (ISIS) and
they were excellent. Cahsout arrived in 3 days, they even sent me a bluetooth speaker set
as a congratulations present. Just one of those casinos that you get a warm, fuzzy
feeling about but they have always had a very good reputation anyway. There are a few
monthly bonuses floating around, some very good promotions and prizes and regular slots
tournaments - several every day along with the standard Microgaming network-wide ones.

Paddy Power Games
This list of the best IGT casinos wouldn't be complete without mentioning the excellent Paddy
Power casino. Paddy Power actually have two online casinos - the one you probably want is the Instant Play
version as the download version uses Playtech software and doesn't have IGT games. Most
sports fand will be very aware of Paddy Power and it's reputation so there really is no need for
me to go into detail about how safe and reliable this place is...it's a given. Their cashouts are
prompt and you get loyalty bonsues from time to time and although they have all the big-name
IGT slots here, they don't have quite the same range of niche games as someone like Sky Vegas (
see
above), but in terms of reputation are arguably leading the way.

Footnote: As there are so many Microgaming casinos to choose from, this is only a small
selection of the best ones based on my own playing experiences. Check out this

ownership details.
