The Isle of Man-based software giant – Microgaming, have today (20th September) announced that their award-winning poker network will be closing its doors for good in the new year. The announcement follows the company’s extensive internal review of their product portfolio and strategy and for those who have enjoyed the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) for the past 16-years will be disappointed by then news.
There will be more details on what to expect coming in the next few weeks, but the software developer stress that this will not affect access to online tournaments, promotions or the cash games, all of which will remain available to players.
Goodbye Old Friend:
John Coleman, CEO for the developer, made the announcement:
“The network model no longer fits with our strategic vision for poker, and this is the right time to announce the closure as we focus on redistributing key resources and personnel across the business. While the network will be closing, this is not the end for poker at Microgaming, which is driven to create the most enjoyable entertainment experiences, leading the way with world-class gaming content. Ultimately, this move will help the business to achieve that vision as we follow a new strategic direction for the vertical, details of which will be revealed in due course.”

Out with the Old and in with the New:
Tweethearts hit the gaming scene on 18th September – a slot which was developed exclusively by JustForTheWin (JFTW), the same company behind the Nordic-themed Tiki Vikings slot. Set within a colourful paradise are a couple of flamboyant lovebirds and a floral reel engine packed with parrots and fluttering bonus features.
Base game features a 5-reel, 17-win line setup including the double lucky line with double symbols. The unique reel engine can see wins generated from three-of-a-kind all the way up to 10-of-a-kind – this is achievable with the double symbols. A random wild feature will trigger up to 6 random wild positions for more excitement and winning opportunities.
Five or more bonus spins symbols will grant you access to the bonus spins feature where 13 spins are awarded. Keep your eyes on the lucky wild symbol as this unlocks even more double positions and more bonus spins. Tweethearts is a loving nature themed, mobile-optimised slot and its now available to play at all major Microgaming powered casinos and online bingo websites.
