How the Network Started
Microgaming did not build its bingo platform from scratch. It bought an existing bingo software provider, then improved both the software and the games.
That was the start of Microgaming Bingo. The platform moved fast. At the time, Microgaming was the largest private company in the gaming industry, and it showed in the release schedule.
The Games It Was Known For
The network carried the standard 90 ball and 75 ball games. It also offered a 75 ball variant, a Speed Bingo game, and pattern bingo.
Its landmark title was Immortal Romance Bingo. This was a bingo game with slot mechanics built in. If you know the slot, the bingo version is worth a look.
Two features made it stand out:
- A Jackpot Wheel paying progressive bingo jackpots
- Personal bonus rounds built around the characters in the game
The Slots and the Jackpots
Microgaming is better known for slots than for bingo. One of its bingo rooms holds a notable record: it paid out the first really large progressive slot jackpot to a UK bingo player.
That win came on the Mega Moolah jackpot, triggered on the Dark Knight slot. It paid more than £5.5 million.
Mega Moolah and Thunderstruck 2 remain the two names most players recognise. Plenty of bingo players have struck gold on the slots between games.
