Microgaming (Apricot)
Microgaming, the company that set its foundations in 1994, is rolling out "Apricot" — a modern software framework designed to speed up deployments, simplify integrations, and deliver a cleaner player experience across desktop and mobile. Apricot combines modular architecture with proven content delivery, giving operators a toolkit that balances performance with regulatory safeguards.
Why Apricot Means Faster Time to Market
Apricot focuses on modular delivery so operators can plug in new titles and features without a full system rebuild. That reduces development cycles, lowers integration costs, and helps operators respond quickly to seasonal promotions or changing player preferences. The platform’s lightweight client reduces load times, which improves session starts on both desktop and mobile.
Performance, Security, and Compliance That Operators Trust
Built with scalable cloud components, Apricot supports high concurrency while keeping latency low. The framework is designed for straightforward certification and audit trails, which helps operators meet state-specific regulatory requirements and responsible-gaming obligations. Apricot also supports instant-play deployment, keeping games accessible without downloads, which complements mobile-first strategies like the one described on our instant-play page.
Notable Slot Titles Available on Apricot
Apricot ships with a diverse slate of slot themes and mechanics. A few titles to check include Reel Strike Slots, which leans into fast spins and classic symbols; Sizzling Scorpions Slots, offering vibrant visuals and layered bonus rounds; Deck the Halls Slots, a seasonal-themed title built for promotional windows; and Reel Thunder Slots, which emphasizes bold sound design and high-volatility action. Each title is optimized for instant-play and responsive layouts, so players get consistent behavior across devices.
Built-In Tools for Promotions and Progressive Features
Apricot includes flexible promotion engines and campaign hooks that let operators tailor bonuses, free-spin offers, and loyalty incentives. The platform is also prepared to integrate progressive jackpot networks and centralized prize pools, giving operators options to boost lifetime value.

Operator-Focused Integrations and Player Retention Features
The Apricot stack exposes well-documented APIs for account management, KYC, wallets, and anti-fraud systems, making it easier to connect with third-party tools and payment rails in regulated US markets. Built-in analytics and configurable retention tools let operators run targeted campaigns, A/B test game placements, and fine-tune offers to improve long-term retention, all while maintaining player protections and fair-play standards.
Apricot is positioned as a practical platform for operators who need speed, stability, and compliance-ready architecture without sacrificing a modern player experience. Read the full Microgaming (Apricot) brief for technical specifications and deployment options.
