Microgaming procures games for Quickfire platform from Canada online slots maker, Old Skool Studios.

For 25 long and illustrious years, Microgaming has enjoyed the elite status of being the internet gambling industry’s oldest and most reputable digital software firm. The company has produced and distributed internet slot machines, table games and other wager-based amusements since 1994, building upon the world’s most comprehensive desktop and mobile iGaming platform. They call it Quickfire, and it’s employed by more than one thousand online casino website operators.

On the very opposite end of that spectrum is a small, little-known company by the name of Old Skool Studios. Like Microgaming, this firm too produces digital gambling software of the highest quality. Such high quality, in fact, that this minuscule firm attracted the notice of Microgaming, earning itself a rightful place in the coveted Quickfire portfolio.

Microgaming Employs Canada Online Slots Maker

Microgaming’s Quickfire platform is already loaded with four titles direct from this hometown studio. Following a contract with the Isle of Man iGaming juggernaut in 2016, Old Skool wasted no time installing its first installment, a steampunk game known as Epic City. In early 2017, a classic detective mystery, La Rouge, was added. A few months later came an interactive skill+chance game, Jewel Quest Riches, followed by their latest release, Temperance, in mid 2018.

According to Old Skool Studios, each of these games has its own niche-target appeal. La Rouge and its Starlite Bonus showcase their creative storytelling capabilities. The skill-based elements in Jewel Quest Riches offers a superior level of engagement. Epic City’s Power Bonus draws players in with an unparalleled degree of immersion. Temperance is equipped with a unique Pachinko Gamble feature that highlights differentiation between games.

Why Haven’t we Heard of Old Skool Studios?

Old Skool hasn’t made a big name for itself in the digital entertainment industry. It’s not because they haven’t been around for years, nor because they haven’t produced a variety of premier quality content, but rather because almost everything they produce gets published under another company’s logo.

Old Skool Studios have been in business since 2011. We as players may not be familiar with the name, but other iGaming businesses sure are. Their long list of clients include social gaming giants like Zynga and GameHouse, major iGaming brands like LeoVegas, Mr. Green, and Unibet, and software distributors like Microgaming, IGS and Neowiz. They were even contracted by Microsoft in 2013 to develop three steampunk apps for Windows Mobile.

What surely impressed Microgaming the most was Old Skool’s focus on the player experience. The Old Skool team believes that, while it’s true “good games start with solid math”, a more important factor is that “great games also start with a strong narrative”. As such, the company strategy is to engage customers with great games that “immerse, entertain, and give you reasons to come back”.

Play Real Online Slot Machines from Canada

Who knew you could play online slot machines from Canada, in Canada, at Microgaming powered gaming sites? According to local laws, no company with offices in Canada can provide real money iGaming services inside Canada without authorization from the province in which those games are available. Old Skool skirts this clause because it’s not directly offering the games to Canadian players.

This company is only manufacturing the digital games. They then sell those games to offshore companies – companies with no physical presence in Canada – letting those companies offer them to Canadians (and players everywhere else Microgaming casinos are available).
