Microgaming shakes the table with six new classic casino game releases
There's no doubt that when it comes to releasing slot games, Microgaming have been at the top of the online casino industry for many years.
Each month the company releases an increasing number of slots, with some fantastic titles, including Arctic Magic, Stumpy McDoodles, Treasures of Lion City and Festive Indulgence, which represent just a small number of the slots we have reviewed, that have been released by the company this month alone.
However, if there has been an area of the casino gaming market that Microgaming can be said to have neglected a little in the recent past, it has been their casino table game offering. Many of their original games were released many years ago now and there has been little from the company by way of updating and improving them.
Switch Studios
To that end, it was perhaps unsurprising to many that in among the many different partnership deals Microgaming have agreed with content providers the world over to develop exciting new slot games for them, the company also moved to refresh its casino game offering, ostensibly through agreeing a deal with casino game developers Switch Studios.
Earlier this year, Switch Studios released the first three games as part of that deal, and now in December, they have announced that the next half dozen games are now available to play in Microgaming-affiliated casinos.
"Refresh the table games market"
Speaking about the December releases of Microgaming's new table games, in conjunction with Switch Studios, Microgaming's Director of Global Operations, James Buchanan, stated:
"We have further expanded our table games offering with the launch of six exciting new titles from Switch Studios, developed exclusively for Microgaming. Each of the six creations realises Switch Studios' ambition to refresh the table games market with exciting new casino experiences. The suit of blackjack games, along with the new baccarat title, are sure to set the standard for a new breed of table gaming."
While Tom David, the Head of Studio for Switch Studios also commented:
"We are excited to see Microgaming release six new games under the Switch Studios brand. Our latest blackjack and baccarat titles combine immersive gameplay with stunning visuals, to provide new and seasoned players with a thrilling, modern and enjoyable mobile-friendly gameplay experience both at home and on the go."
"Each game comes with a unique built-in feature allowing operators to put their own stamp on it, by applying their own branding to the felt colour, table logo stamp, card back colour and card back logo. We aim to bring innovation, style and the best selection of games to the online table gaming sector, and we look forward to creating more exclusive titles for Microgaming next year."
These six new games from Switch Studios add to the three other games, American Roulette, European Roulette and European Blackjack, which were developed by Switch Studios and subsequently released under the Microgaming brand name earlier this year.
What are the new releases from Switch Studios?
Let's now take a look at the different types of game that Switch Studios have been responsible for developing as part of their deal with Microgaming, all of which have been released this December.
Five Blackjack Games
Earlier this year, Switch Studios released the popular European Blackjack, which proved to be a big hit with card gaming fans and which radically updated and improved the look and quality of Microgaming casino games.
Little wonder then that among the first releases this December where five new variations of Blackjack, all of which have a number of outstanding features, but which differ from one game to the next to allow players to pick which form of the game suits their particular skill set the best.
The five games released in December 2019 were as follows:
- Atlantic City Blackjack (4th December)
- Vegas Strip Blackjack (4th December)
- Vegas Downtown Blackjack (4th December)
- Classic Blackjack (4th December)
- Vegas Single Deck Blackjack (11th December)
Each of the game is playable on desktop as well as mobile and has been designed with a completely new game engine, featuring outstanding graphics, reliability and performance. Each variation is slightly different to the next with slightly differing game rules, but all games do feature the usual betting options including Standard Side Bets, Double Down, Insurance and the ability to Split Hands.
Baccarat
The sixth game released this month was a version of Baccarat, which is also based on the same game engine as the Blackjack games and which also features the same outstanding graphics and animations. This game was released on the 11th December and it is one of the most up-to-date and feature packed versions of Baccarat that you can play online.
The game's design is striking and will instantly appeal to players, but look beyond the cosmetics and you will see that Switch Studio's game also boasts some incredible new options including the Card Squeeze feature, which allows players to manipulate their cards, a Scorecard feature which players can tailor to their own needs, as well as a Turbo Mode for quick play and Advance Road Statistics for those that like to analyse their game and the hands that they have played.
With the Poker boom now seemingly over, many people are wondering what the next big card game will be for online casinos and there are many punters that feel that this timeless Eastern classic card game will be the one to get punters excited in years to come, especially in the West. And if that is the case, then this particular version of the game will be one that players come to play in their droves.
All the games outlined above outline Switch Studios commitment towards improving the table game market for Microgaming customers and the fact that each game is fully customisable for host casinos and providers, will make it extremely attractive to casino operators.
So if you fancy trying your hand at any of the six new casino games available from Microgaming, or the three earlier releases, why not head on over to a Microgaming casino now to see what all the fuss is about?
And you never know, play your cards right and get lucky and you could be in for a Christmas present!
