Microgaming signs with Gold Coin Studios for a selection of new slot titles
Microgaming have just released the brand-new Arthur's Gold slot, which we have reviewed and given you a play-through preview of and I have to say that we were pretty impressed with the work Gold Coin Studios had put into the game.
Well the good news for Microgaming slots fans is that this newly released slot will just be the first in a number of new games from Gold Coin Studios, who have now signed a content supply deal with Microgaming which will see future releases appearing on the Microgaming network of sites.
This announcement is just the latest of a number of content supply deals that Microgaming have penned with development teams all over the world in order to increase and diversify the range of content that they bring to customers.
Who are Gold Coin Studios?
Gold Coin Studios are a slots development company that are based in Nevada in the United States and, as you would expect in a state that boasts both Reno and Las Vegas, the studio has cut its eye teeth in the slots industry by developing slots initially at land-based casinos.
That extensive experience proved invaluable to them when they moved into the world of online slot game development and the company has put together a brand new team to put together a number of exclusive titles for the Isle of Man-based Microgaming over the coming years, the first of which is the Arthur's Gold slot released on July 9th.
Speaking about the deal, Microgaming's Director of Games, Andrew Booth commented:
"We are delighted to expand our exclusive studio network with the addition of Gold Coin Studios, who bring a wealth of industry knowledge to the table. We welcome the team on board and look forward to working alongside them to further diversify our games portfolio for Microgaming customers."
In response, the CEO of Gold Coin Studios, John Duffy, responded:
"The team at Gold Coin Studios is very excited to be joining Microgaming's network of content providers which will enable us to reach hundreds of operators in markets worldwide. We look forward to our journey with Microgaming as we strive to create a portfolio of go-to games for players of all experience levels."
What is the Arthur's Gold slot like?
You can read our full review and have a watch of a real money play through on the Arthur's Gold slot in our dedicated review. The game itself is a 5x3 reel slot that offers you the chance to win a top jackpot prize of over 4,000x your bet.
It has a number of exciting features including Double Symbols, which mean that you can land combinations of up to 10 of the higher value symbols across the reels. There is also a very enticing Free Spins bonus game that features Expanding Wilds and the chance to win up to three re-spins on top of your Free Spins.
With neat graphics that are easy to distinguish and engaging game-play, it is an impressive start to their partnership with Microgaming and it is going to be interesting to see whether that same level of innovation and excitement are a hallmark of all Gold Coin Studios productions for Microgaming.
Microgaming studio partners
Gold Coin Studios join a number of studios that have joined forces with Microgaming over the last few years to produce content for them either on an exclusive basis, or as a general content provider. The net result of this has seen the number of games released from Microgaming expand markedly over the last few years, and the variation in the games that have been released has also been a thing to behold.
Gold Coin Studios join ten other companies that have signed exclusive content deals with Microgaming, they (and some of their most renowned games produced for Microgaming) are:
- Alchemy Gaming: Wheel of Wishes slot.

In addition to these studios, Microgaming has also signed non-exclusive content aggregator deals with a number of other studios from around the world to bring a number of their release titles to Microgaming customers and several of these are released every month, although where they are available depends on the casino that you are a member of.
