ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming wins ‘Innovator of the Year’ at the International Gaming Awards 2016.
Hosted at The Savoy Hotel in London, the prestigious 9th International Gaming Awards proved the perfect rel=”noopener noreferrer” curtain-raiser to ICE Totally Gaming 2016 for Microgaming, who won the coveted Innovator of the Year award.
Microgaming is no stranger to innovation, having created the world’s first true online casino software in 1994, the first mobile casino software in 2004 and the first online slot for a smartwatch in rel=”noopener noreferrer” 2014. Recent innovations include virtual and augmented reality apps, Thunderstruck on Android Wear, and an in-play sports betting prototype for Google Glass.
But it was Microgaming’s award-winning VR Roulette that ensured success at the ceremony held on Monday 1stFebruary. Developed for use with the Oculus Rift DK 2 headset and Leap Motion 3D Controller, VR Roulette was designed to examine analogue interactions across real and virtual environments, tracking the player’s hand movements and then projecting them into the 3D rel=”noopener noreferrer” world. Named ‘Digital Gaming Innovation of the Year’ at the Global Gaming Awards last September, the prototype is currently being demoed in the Microgaming CRYO lab at ExCeL London (N5 entrance) over the three days of ICE 2016.
