Microgaming rolls out major Prima update for poker network

Microgaming has launched its “biggest and most important poker release” with Prima set to give the MPN a significant facelift in both look and functionality.

Built with players in mind, the new client features a streamlined interface to provide easy navigation to cash, tournament and casino games, which includes a blind cash game lobby and a simplified rewards system.

“This is our biggest and most important poker release, and the culmination of a multi-year strategy to revitalise our product and leapfrog the competition,” Microgaming Head of Product Alex Scott said.

“I’m proud of what the team has achieved and I’m so excited about what we are going to build together in the coming months.”

Most notably, the client has been developed with a strong focus on enhancing the user experience and promoting responsible gaming with increased transparency.

The new Prima client includes a player history tool that displays overall profit and loss across all game types which can be filtered for any time period, giving players the ability to track and review their gameplay and make informed choices.

Using cross-platform technologies, Prima has been designed in a modular fashion and is powered from the same codebase that will enable Microgaming to swiftly deploy new updates across all platforms at the same time.

With the new technology, the latest features can be delivered to players and new markets faster than ever before, in addition to supporting new and upcoming devices in future.

“It is an exciting and pivotal time for the Microgaming Poker Network,” Microgaming Chief Comercial Officer Jean-Luc Ferriere said.

“The launch of Prima marks another move in our strategy to continue developing products centred around giving players the best poker experience with a more intuitive client, optimised for any device.”

Microgaming’s new poker client is complemented by Ultra High Definition graphics, giving players superb gameplay resolution which is fully optimised for premium viewing on all supported devices.

This is in addition to a fun feature for players that enables them to turn their hand history into a GIF, ready to be exported and shared on social media.

The new software began rolling out on Thursday and will be available to all customers by July 31.
