Microgaming gets Malta go-ahead for online bingo software

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Microgaming has secured another license for its online gaming products in Malta, this time for its online bingo software. The group has already been granted licenses by Malta’s Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA), for its online casino and poker products.

Malta was the original EU member state to move to regulate remote gambling, with four different levels of licenses available. Applicants must undergo a number of checks including a business and technical assessment, along with a compliance audit.

Microgaming CEO, Roger Raatgever, commented: “Malta continues to be a growing hub of European gaming with a successful regulatory model and we have continued our significant investment in Malta by implementing various on-site servers.”

“These will not only enhance connectivity and resilience for online gaming, but also contribute to a superior experience for operators and players, alike. This provides Microgaming with the opportunity to offer our operators an additional gateway into the EU and we are delighted to add bingo to our software offering.”

Microgaming’s online poker network includes the likes of Ladbrokes Poker, 32Red Poker, Gutshot and many more. They also have a number of the top online casino brands underneath them, including Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget Casino and Aces High Casino.

A mother from Hampshire has won £10,000 pounds playing at her local Bingo Hall. Susan Ralph won big at her local in Basingstoke and was understandably shocked when realizing she had completed a full house.

In the current economic downturn the win could not have come at a better time. Susan explained, “I was very happy because it’s come at the perfect time.” The soon to be mother will spend the money on her  new Baby and a new car for her family. Susan also won £600 in August last year but this win will be far more enjoyable!
