Microgaming’s Recent Announcements

The news comes just weeks after Microgaming announced the closure of its Microgaming Poker Network (MPN). According to the software provider, it will be closing its MPN sometime in 2020.

Microgaming revealed it made the decision following an internal review of its software supplier’s product portfolio and strategy. However, the firm reassured players that all current and upcoming promotions, games and tournaments will remain available until the service’s official closure.

MPN has operated for more than 16 years and Microgaming was reluctant to share more details about its closure in its official announcement. However, the firm has openly stated that more details of the closure will be shared in upcoming weeks.

Alongside this, Microgaming has continued to partner with independent studios for exclusive slots. Some of the recent studios Microgaming has partnered with include GameBurger Studios, All41 Studios and many more.
