Microgaming (Apricot)
Microgaming has been a foundational name in online casino software since 1994, and the Apricot iteration is positioned as a modern evolution of that legacy. Apricot focuses on faster load times, tighter mobile delivery, and better integration for operators, while preserving the deep game library and progressive-jackpot network that have defined Microgaming for decades. For operators and players who value reliability, Apricot promises a smoother experience without asking you to relearn what makes Microgaming familiar.
The headline features that matter to players
Performance is the immediate win for players—shorter spin-to-spin delays, consistent graphics across devices, and responsive touch controls on phones and tablets. Apricot also emphasizes modular content delivery, so operators can roll out updates and regional content with less downtime. Behind the scenes, Apricot leans on modern APIs to help casinos deliver targeted promotions, loyalty perks, and faster wallet integrations.
Standout slots that show Apricot’s polish
Microgaming’s catalog has always mixed legacy classics with new IP, and Apricot highlights titles that benefit from improved visuals and faster performance. Check out these featured games to see Apricot in action:
- The Immortal Captain Rizk Slots — a character-driven slot with layered animations that run smoother under the Apricot delivery system.
- Book of King Arthur Slots — classic free-spin mechanics and large-symbol features that feel more fluid on mobile.
- Amazing Link Riches Slots — a link-and-respin style game where instant responsiveness makes a noticeable difference to the experience.
Each title benefits from Apricot’s reduced latency and optimized asset handling, which means fewer interrupted sessions and more consistent play.
How the tech stack supports operators and players
Apricot modernizes content delivery with a modular architecture and RESTful APIs, making it easier for operators to integrate third-party wallets, KYC providers, and promotional engines. That reduces rollout time for new markets, and gives players a more unified account experience. For players, this translates to faster deposits and withdrawals, fewer login hiccups, and quicker game launches, especially during high-traffic events like March Madness or the Super Bowl.
Security, fairness, and compliance you can trust
Microgaming’s pedigree includes early adoption of licensed, regulated operations across multiple jurisdictions, and Apricot continues that approach. Games undergo RNG testing, and operators using Apricot must maintain their own licenses and compliance processes. Apricot’s design supports regional content controls and jurisdictional segregation, which helps operators meet local rules and keeps player protections front and center.
Monetization and promotional tools that work
Operators get built-in hooks for targeted offers, free-spin campaigns, and loyalty hooks without disrupting the player experience. Apricot’s analytics modules feed real-time data to loyalty engines, allowing smarter bonus allocation while keeping bonus terms clear and transparent. This helps maintain responsible-play standards, and avoids misleading claims or unrealistic expectations about outcomes.
What players and operators will notice first
Players will feel the difference in speed and stability, especially on slower mobile networks. Operators will value the easier integrations and the ability to roll out region-specific content without full platform overhauls.

How Apricot fits into the future of Microgaming
Apricot is a logical step for a supplier that started in 1994 and expanded into progressive jackpots and large-scale B2B distribution. It keeps Microgaming competitive against newer vendors by combining legacy content and jackpot ecosystems with modern delivery techniques. Expect Apricot to be a platform that helps both legacy operators and newer brands deliver consistent, high-quality casino experiences to US players.
