The leading online casino software provider group, Microgaming, announced
that it launched a brand new product that should prove to be a winner in the
fast growing mobile gambling industry.
Microgaming's Android Air is a new platform compatible with tablets and
smartphones that run on Android. This Adobe Air based app will initially
incorporate a game package with eight top Microgaming casino games that are
already popular in the market.
Microgaming online casino software group said that by the end of 2011, it
hopes to have a portfolio 20 more games on the platform to allow players to
enjoy a diverse selection of its most popular games and titles.
Android gamblers will be able to update the games through WiFi instead of 3G,
similar to the site's Viper casino software at online sites.
The new games on the Microgaming Adobe Air mobile platform will be
able to be accessed via an easy-to-navigate lobby, while features such as
registration and banking have been updated to make them slick and user friendly.
Microgaming's acquisition and retention tools, including Player Grouping,
Player Communication Manager and Bonus Balance will all be accessible from the
new platform, linking directly with the gaming server.
