Friday August 15, 2008

Microgaming announces it has signed a deal to provide Unibet with its download casino platform.

Microgaming, the world's largest provider of online poker and casino software, announces it has signed a deal to provide Unibet with its download casino platform on the new URL. The announcement strengthens the already successful partnership following Unibet's decision to join the Microgaming Poker Network in 2006 and their recent decision to renew the poker agreement on a multi-year basis.

The move will see Unibet Casino players gain access to the best games in the business, including Lara Croft Tomb Raider, The Osbournes and Hitman - three of the industry's biggest licensing deals. Players will also be able to try their luck at winning some of the biggest jackpots around through the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network. The progressive total currently sits at over €6 Million, with the four-tiered Mega Moolah at a tantalizing €3.3 Million.

Petter Nylander, CEO Unibet Group Plc says, "Since joining the Microgaming Poker Network, we've enjoyed a strong working partnership, and so this decision has actually been straightforward. Microgaming's Casino software has an outstanding reputation in the industry for delivering cutting edge, graphic rich games, and one of the most reliable platforms in the business - critical when running any online operation."

Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming comments, "We are delighted that Unibet has decided to extend our relationship with the addition of our proven casino platform and very much look forward to a continued successful partnership. In the last year we've achieved a number of major initiatives that will significantly benefit our operators and have a strong pipeline of innovative tools and games coming this year to power operator profits, so when a partner such as Unibet picks us to power multiple software products, it's further proof that we are delivering where it counts."
