Microgaming Casinos - How does this work??

[Amateur]

I'm a fan of the 9-line slots at the MGS casinos. I've played the ones that have low coin sizes, starting a .01. NOT the .25 slots where the minimum spin is $2.25.

I'm bent that the new software leans heavily to the high-priced slots, that cost so much to play. It's like US players have to subsidize these games, so everyone else can play the most popular slots. How bogus is that?

Anyway, I especially enjoyed some of the limited release 9-line slots, like Fortune Lounge and International Casino Games. These two games are no longer available in the new software. Why not?

The Referback casinos still have their specialtty slot, Belle Rock, in their casinos, but no one else offers theirs.

MGS can offer any games in there they want!! They have even added more of their high-priced slots, but none of the ones ppl most want to play, and it's just not right to treat ppl that way.

MGS wants to have it both ways...make the US money, but not be held accountable in any way for anything.

Step up Microgaming, and grow a set, please!!

I also think microgaming can give a choice to players. Some people simply can't play 0.25 per spin (per line in multi-line slots).

The "normal" Microgaming casinos allow the operator to choose the lowest denominations so they vary casino to casino. For example, Roxy used (may still do) to have a 0.01 starting value on most slots and an $11.25 limit on some, like Thunderstruck, whereas Fortune used to go to $90 a spin on TS!!

Haven't been able to check the new US facing games, but I would imagine the casinos have carried over the same tables and if they haven't, it will probably still vary casino to casino. If not now, in time.

Pefect example Simmo, you mentioned a very popular game that a US Player will never see again....

Thunderstruck is NOT available to US Players...

Some of those slots are.25 min per line everywhere, like Reel Thunder, SunQuest and Vinyl Countdown! All 9-lines slots I'd love to try if they weren't .25 per line.

That's my point. Probably the reason Adventure Palace and Jane Blonde are available is that they were part of Grand Prive, which of course, is no longer Microgaming. Internaional Casino Games was a special slot for Red Flush, but also available in Royal Joker and Fortune Lounge. Fortune Lounge slot, of course, is only available in Fortune Lounge Casinos. Of course, as I said, Belle Rock slot is still available, thank goodness, in Belle Rock Casinos, like River Belle and Gaming Club.

Is Microgaming doing US players a "favor" by allowing us to still play? Hell no!! They are taking advantage of a situation, while still making huge money, hand over fist!! Billions they don't want to part with. If that were not the case, theyd be gone in a heartbeat.

True. But they do have Summertime which is a TS clone. Might be interesting to see what the min. bet on that one is Amateur?

I already know...I know ALL of the 9-line slots, and their payline coin size. And yes, they still have Summertime, and Ladies Night and Katmandu, but they don't have the SLOTS PPL WANT TO PLAY MOST. Which means, for you and for me, and every other affiliate that players won't be as enthusiastic to put down their money.

Who wants an unhappy customer, who can't find the product they want to buy in the store? I may want Motrin, but all you have is Advil. They are both ibuprofen, aren't they? I may want Camel, but all you sell is Marlboro. Instead of a carton, I'll only buy one pack.

Sorry - I misunderstood the point of the thread as a coin size thing rather than a games choice thing.

If it's helpfull, I have been told that the reason the games choice is lower is to differentiate MG software from the new software. The new platform has to have a significantly different offering from the orginal MG software. Doesn't take a genius to work out why.

A couple of operators have also said this is software that will evolve, although I'd be surprised if it's before new USA players are accepted again.

Disingenuous, to say the least!! They have added more games, games from the MGS platform!! Why not add the ones ppl play most? No, they added 25-30 line games instead. US players are supposed to subsidize the creation of the new platform, by playing more expensive games.

I also want to share something about microgaming casino & back office solution
Due to the fact that Microgaming’s participating casinos enjoy some of the highest traffic on the ‘net, a high security system needs to be in place to protect the millions of dollars flying through cyberspace every day. Microgaming’s software also includes a system whereby cyber casinos can track the casino game play of their customers, thereby having quantifiable data on which to base the justification of changes or enhancements to the gaming experience.

The Microgaming system can be personalized and tweaked at the online casino’s discretion, provided that this does not compromise Microgaming’s credibility. Using Microgaming as a comprehensive template saves online casinos millions in the building of new applications. This is due to the fact that the Microgaming software is updated so often that there are no visible holes or shortcomings. In short, Microgaming is a good option for any high traffic online gambling site.

My guess is that Microgaming made a switch in business orientation.

I don't think we will see more new microgaming licenced casinos as per the old model. Instead, I think Microgaming has switched to being merely a game designer, and sells games to whoever wants them.

So the games must be classified into different categories, and some may be reserved for high end customers. The US facing places must have started out with the least expensive set, and then moved up a notch.

Just speculation here.

In terms of free spins values, what would you say is fair/appealing to players?
