Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, has launched Android Air, its latest mobile casino offering.

Android Air is an Adobe Air-based application, available for use with tablets and smartphones running on Android. The platform comes with a starting game package of eight leading Microgaming casino games, with plans to deliver at least 20 or more games between now and the end of the year.

Much like Microgaming’s market leading Viper casino software, new games will be automatically added via a process which is connection state aware, so players can choose to do these updates via wi-fi rather than 3G.

Games are available via a slick, user-friendly lobby and fully revamped banking and registration modules are also available. The underlying architecture has also been updated and connection now links directly with the gaming server, allowing the utilisation of Microgaming’s comprehensive suite of acquisition and retention tools such as Bonus Balance, Player Grouping, Player Communication Manager and VPB, an online Virtual Pitboss that allows instant trigger-based messaging and promotions.
