    So firstly, what is "microgaming"? Also, is the position you're advertising for working on game development? Cause the job posting and description don't mention any game specific work I can make out
    Thanked by 1Elyaradine

    I'd bet that "microgaming" is most likely gambling related. The kind of churn out 4000 variants of the same slot machine game in HTML or some such.

    And yeah, the posting doesn't really indicate that you'll even be working on the games themselves... Just the DB bits.

    Could be wrong though...
  • A quick google only shows that Microgaming is a company in the UK that does slots games. Other than that I don't see any actual definitions.

    What say the people?

  • Microgaming in the UK is like a parent company of sorts, to Derivco. Derivco codes the "games", and Microgaming sells them AFAIK.
  • I am not only surprised by the micro-game, but also such a great experience than the less experienced ones didn’t please you?
  • Hi Guys, Apologies for the delay. Thank you for your comments. Apologies for the confusion and yes, the type of games are online games in the online casino space. This spec is for a DB Developer. Essential skills are T-SQL and things SQL-tuning. The salaries are competitive and the culture is awesome. If you want to join a team of people who love games and like to code in a relaxed environment with flexible hours let me know.
