Software Review
The new Microgaming Viper software development has brought several improvements to graphic layout and management for the player. According to some experts, the only gap to be filled in the new Viper software is the excessive weight of the software that slows down performances during the download to your computer.
On the other hand there is the Auto-Play feature which allows the player (once selected) to pre-set exact number of hands, which will be played automatically, using the best betting strategy suitable for that specific game.
Microgaming software has about three hundred games including slots (such as the "Jurassic World"), video poker, blackjack and roulettes. Most of them are developed by the South African software company Derivco.
Available in over 25 different Progressive Jackpots connected one to each other through the network (developed by the company itself) connected with the casino operators. Since its entry into the market, Microgaming casinos have paid more than $ 280 million so far.
Games from Microgaming software can be installed on your hard disk, or be launched in flash mode that does not require any kind of installation. Using Flash will bring a significant reduction than with standard installation in terms of quality of graphics and sounds.
