Microgaming boosts bingo platform

ISLE OF MAN — Microgaming (http://www.microgaming.com), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, has launched its significantly enhanced Bingo software platform Bingo+ Plus.

Microgaming’s Bingo+ Plus platform is fully customisable, giving operators a huge level of control over the look, feel and layout of rooms, allowing them to tailor their offering to existing players and attract new customers. Operators can also opt for the Microgaming-designed standard Bingo room and lobby, which provides a slick, user-friendly experience for players.

The new software has enhanced multi-language and multi-currency functionality, whereby Bingo players from different regions around the world can play in any bingo room, with the room adapting to their language and currency. This improves liquidity as well as making localisation quicker, cost effective and more straightforward. Players will also benefit from the introduction of consolation prizes, creating more winners per game and more chances to win, meaning that it isn’t just the traditional bingo game winners that will reap rewards.

In addition to the improvements to the Bingo platform, Microgaming’s hugely popular progressive jackpots and side games are accessible from within the Bingo rooms. The portfolio of Bingo side games on offer from Microgaming is truly unrivalled, helping operators attract and retain the very best customers.

Lydia Melton, Head of Network Games at Microgaming, said: “Online gaming is a fast moving industry, and with so much competition in the marketplace, operators need to ensure their offering is truly outstanding. We’ve seen increased demand in the market for flexible solutions, and Microgaming’s new Bingo software platform is as flexible and customisable as any gaming software we have seen thus far.

“Innovation has always been central to what we do, and we wanted to create a solution that gave our operators complete control over their offering, whilst providing the ultimate Bingo experience for players. Through our new Bingo+ Plus software, operators now have access to a comprehensive bingo Bingo product and the very best Casino side games in the industry. We are very proud of our new software and feel we have brought a truly exceptional product to the market.”

Microgaming will be at the Online Bingo Summit, London on 1-2 June 2011.
