About Microgaming and Games Global
Microgaming launched in 1994 from the Isle of Man and is widely credited with releasing the first real-money online casino software, effectively helping start the whole iGaming industry. Over the years it became known for two things: reliable, high-volume slot output and record-breaking progressive jackpots.
In 2022 Microgaming sold its distribution business and online games portfolio to Games Global, a newly formed company. That means most of the classic 'Microgaming' catalogue is now published and maintained under Games Global, though the games keep the studios and characters players already know.
On UBET this content reaches you through the Plus K2 aggregation lobby. The titles load in a browser-based list, so you can open a game and start spinning without installing anything.
Signature games and how they feel
Mega Moolah is the flagship — a progressive jackpot slot that pools bets from many casinos into one growing prize. It set a Guinness World Record in 2015 with a payout of over 13 million pounds. Jackpot slots like this are built around the dream of one huge hit, so wins between jackpots tend to be modest.
Immortal Romance is a fan favourite: a 5x3, 243-ways vampire-romance slot with a layered bonus system and a strong story. Its Mega Moolah version runs at very high volatility with an RTP around 93.4%, meaning long dry spells punctuated by rare big features. Thunderstruck II is another staple — a Norse-mythology slot with a medium-volatility feel that pays a bit more steadily.
What to try first
If you want the jackpot fantasy, Mega Moolah is the name to look for — just treat the jackpot as a lottery-style long shot, not an expectation. For richer bonus rounds and atmosphere, Immortal Romance rewards patience but swings hard; only play it if you are comfortable with high-volatility ups and downs.
If you prefer a smoother session with more frequent feature triggers, a medium-volatility title like Thunderstruck II is an easier entry point. Try the games in short sessions first to learn each one's rhythm before deciding what suits you.
RTP and volatility, honestly
A key thing to know: when Microgaming adds the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot to a game, the base RTP is lowered to fund that jackpot pool. For example, Thunderstruck II's standard version sits near 96.7%, but its Mega Moolah edition drops to roughly 92%. You are effectively trading everyday return for a shot at the network jackpot.
Volatility varies widely across the range — from medium titles that pay often in small amounts to very high-volatility games where the excitement lives in rare bonus rounds. Check each game's info screen for its RTP and volatility before you bet, and remember no RTP figure guarantees a win on any given session.
Fairness and licensing
Microgaming built its reputation over three decades on regulated markets and independently tested random number generators, and that testing culture carries into the Games Global catalogue. Individual game outcomes are determined by RNG, so past spins never influence future ones.
Play for entertainment, set a budget before you start, and stop when you reach it. Slots are designed to favour the house over time, so treat any win as a bonus rather than a plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Microgaming a real game studio or just a lobby on UBET?
Microgaming is a genuine, long-established studio founded in 1994 on the Isle of Man. On UBET its games are delivered through the Plus K2 aggregation lobby, which gathers Microgaming and Games Global slot titles in one place. So you get real Microgaming content presented through UBET's lobby.
What is Mega Moolah and why is it famous?
Mega Moolah is Microgaming's flagship progressive jackpot slot, where bets across many casinos build one shared prize. It is famous for record payouts, including a Guinness World Record win of over 13 million pounds in 2015. The jackpot is a rare long shot, not a regular occurrence.
Why do the Mega Moolah versions have lower RTP?
When a jackpot network is added to a game, part of every bet funds the shared jackpot pool, so the base return-to-player is reduced. For instance, Thunderstruck II sits near 96.7% normally but around 92% in its Mega Moolah edition. You are trading some everyday return for jackpot potential.
Do I need to download anything to play on UBET?
No. Microgaming slots in the UBET lobby launch instantly in your web browser, with the game list loading directly in the lobby. There is no app or download required to start playing.
Which Microgaming slot should a beginner try?
A medium-volatility title like Thunderstruck II is a gentler starting point because features trigger more regularly. Immortal Romance and the Mega Moolah jackpot games are more high-variance and suit players comfortable with bigger swings. Try short sessions and check each game's RTP and volatility first.
How long has Microgaming been around?
Microgaming, based on the Isle of Man, is one of the oldest names in the industry — it built some of the very first online casino software in the mid-1990s and created the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot family that has paid out some of the largest online wins ever recorded.
Can the RTP of Microgaming games change between casinos?
Some studios ship games in more than one RTP build and each operator chooses which to run, so a number quoted on the web isn't automatically the one you're playing. The authoritative figure is always the game's own information/rules panel during your session — check it there rather than trusting third-party lists.
