Has Microgaming's move out of the US affected your business?

It is now more than a quarter since Microgaming moved out of the US market. It would be interesting know to how this move affected our business.

The options left for US folks kinda stink...

Rival and Vegas Tech are not even close to Micro or Playtech when it comes to the GUI... RTGs have decent graphics, effects, and game selection, but can be a little less reliable than the other platforms... (All this is my opinion, obviously)

I have a hard time [ethically] telling folks a casino is great when I can't download and play...

I can't wait for micro to come back. I target usa and when software dropped I did not want to abandon usa. It's been a challenge. At the same time I wanted to increase traffic outside the usa. So for me it's been a process.

That is true as far as the GUI of the individual games is concerned. But I think that e.g. Rival is trying new interesting features successfully, and Microgaming is now trying to make up. I mean the i-slots of Rival Gaming where how far you success in its bonus feature depends partly on your skill, and what is more interesting, technically speaking, is that the game remembers where you stopped the game and resumes exactly there when you come back again, even you exit the casino. Microgaming has now created the same technique in the Space Chase Bonus feature in The Great Galaxy Grab.

I also find the Look and Feel of the casino lobby's of the TOP GAME casinos, and now also of the RTG casino Lucky Red Casino more state-of-the-art in design than the Microgaming lobby design which has not changed during the last hundred years, almost

I have not played at a Top Game yet, but after reading your post it makes me want to to see what you are talking about.

I have to disagree partially on the Vegas Tech comment though. Personally, I think that Silver Dollar and English Harbour have really cool and slick lobby's....I wish I liked their games more as I see them needing improvement there....
