Where does Microgaming operate outside the US?
Microgaming is based in the Isle of Man. Its record Mega Moolah wins were at casinos outside the US: Betway in 2015 and Grand Mondial Casino in 2018. A jackpot won abroad does not mean the game is approved in your state.
What games is Microgaming known for?
Microgaming is best known for Mega Moolah, a five-reel, 25-payline progressive jackpot slot. Guinness World Records gave its record for the largest online slot jackpot to a €17,879,645 ($20,062,600) Mega Moolah win by Jon Heywood of Cardiff, UK, at Betway on October 6, 2015.
Intergame reported a larger Mega Moolah payout of €18,915,872 at Grand Mondial Casino on September 28, 2018, from a 75-cent bet on a phone. We found no official record that Mega Moolah is offered in a US state, so check the lobby and the game's help screen.
How do you check a Microgaming game is approved?
A provider does not decide whether a casino is legal. Play only on a site that appears on your state's approved list, and check the game's help screen for its rules and return to player. In New Jersey, each new game needs approval from the Division of Gaming Enforcement before it goes live. See your state page.
Does InsideCasino.us rate Microgaming?
No. We do not rate or rank Microgaming or its games, and we do not link to sign-ups. A game's return to player is an average over a very long run, so see what a game costs before you play.
What are the rules in your state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
