ISLE OF MAN - Microgaming, the world's largest provider of online gaming software, is showcasing its latest games and software releases for the Asian market at the G2E show in Macau on stand 1049 from June 2-4, 2009.

Microgaming will launch its LiveDealer* service at the exhibition, providing roulette and baccarat demonstrations of live game play, with more products scheduled to roll out later in the year. Microgaming's software capability can also support multi-player, multi-language games that can be tailored to local markets.

With support teams based in Singapore and The Philippines, Microgaming can also offer 24/7 back-office support to the Asian market working in local time zones using a multi-lingual team.

With a complement of award-winning slots and poker games that now power more than 120 casinos, 40 poker rooms and the leading progressive jackpot networks around the world, Microgaming has established itself as the leading network provider with an unrivalled pedigree within the industry.

Microgaming will be promoting the following games at G2E Asia:

* Live Dealer Games – baccarat game play offers features such as side bets and multi-table game play with cards shuffled in real time using video feeds to live dealer tables. Microgaming's live roulette table also utilises laser beam technology for precision readings, eliminating human error and providing the most accurate and enjoyable real-time gaming experience.

* Big 2 – this video game play brings fast paced action to players and provides a strong portfolio for gaming operators.

* Showhand – this five-card stud game is incredibly popular throughout the world, particularly in Asia.

* Dou Di Zhu – this three seated card game is a battle for players to lose their cards first against the landlords.

Fredrik Lonnqvist, Microgaming's Asian spokesperson, says: "We are exhibiting at G2E Asia with a strong portfolio of games specifically developed to the Asian market. Our ability to provide localised game play to reflect the differing languages and gaming habits across the Asian region, coupled with our local support provision, provides a perfect platform to live up to our slogan of 'We are the game'."

* Microgaming's Live Deal studio is fully endorsed by eCOGRA's Seals Compliance Committee.
