Microgaming (Apricot)
Microgaming, founded in 1994, has a long track record of shaping online casino software. Apricot represents the company’s latest push to modernize how operators deliver content, manage back-end services, and serve players across devices. Rather than a cosmetic upgrade, Apricot focuses on modularity, speed, and operational efficiency—three priorities operators name when choosing a platform partner.
Faster load times, slicker visuals, and reliable delivery
Apricot leans on modern web standards to cut load times and reduce bandwidth use, which directly improves player retention. Games load quicker on desktop and mobile, animations run smoother, and session handoffs between browser and native app feel seamless. Operators get optimized builds for HTML5 browsers and app wrappers, helping titles perform consistently during traffic peaks.
Built for operators: tools that simplify daily work
Operators benefit from an API-first architecture with a clear management layer for promotions, player segmentation, and reporting. Apricot’s back office supports flexible wallet setups, integrated CRM triggers, and tournament tools, so promotions and player journeys can be launched without lengthy dev cycles. The platform also emphasizes auditability and traceable events to help with compliance and reporting needs.
Player-focused features without exaggerated claims
Apricot supports a range of player features—instant play, save-state functionality, in-game achievements, and configurable volatility settings for certain slot lines. These options let operators tailor experiences for casual players and high-frequency players alike. Microgaming and Apricot do not promise outcomes, and all games must run through certified RNG and testing processes before deployment.
Standout games you can try now
Apricot houses a variety of new and refreshed slot releases. Titles demonstrate the platform’s flexibility with different art styles, bonus mechanics, and session lengths. Notable examples include Ivory Citadel Slots, Rapid Reels Slots, and Winning Wizards Slots, each showing how Apricot handles complex bonus logic and rich audiovisuals.
Mobile and app integration made practical
Apricot is designed to play well inside native apps as well as browsers, minimizing friction for app publishers. The platform provides companion SDKs and packaging guidance so operators can streamline their app build process and reduce testing overhead. For teams focused on mobile-first distribution, Apricot’s app-ready approach cuts time to market and smooths release cycles—details on app support are available in our latest site update.
Compliance, security, and responsible play features
Security and compliance are central to Apricot’s design. The platform supports certified RNGs, encrypted data transport, and configurable KYC/limits frameworks to help operators meet local regulations. Responsible-play tooling is built into the player account layer, so operators can enforce limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion workflows from day one.
How integration and roadmap look for operators
Integration is designed to be modular: operators can adopt the game engine, the full back office, or just specific services like wallet or promotion engines. That flexibility lowers integration costs and lets teams phase rollouts. Microgaming continues to publish updates and roadmap items for Apricot on the product page, which will be the primary source for technical notes, release schedules, and deployment guides.
Apricot doesn’t reinvent gaming fundamentals, but it packages reliability, developer-friendly APIs, and a player-forward delivery stack in a way that reflects what modern operators need. For brands focused on performance, operational control, and streamlined app delivery, Apricot deserves a close look.
