Microgaming is the veteran of this list - one of the oldest slot suppliers in the business, now operating as Games Global - and its calling card at My Empire is Mega Moolah, the progressive jackpot network that has paid out some of the biggest online wins on record. Where Pragmatic brings the new hits and NetEnt the polished classics, Microgaming brings depth: an enormous back catalogue and the jackpot that made it famous.
Microgaming traces back to the mid-1990s, which makes it older than almost every studio it now shares a lobby with. Over that time it built a catalogue running into the thousands of titles - branded slots, table games and its own progressives - and much of that library carries over to My Empire through the Games Global distribution the studio operates under today. Breadth is the story here: you are not opening Microgaming for one signature mechanic, you are opening it for the sheer number of games to work through.
Mega Moolah, the jackpot that built the reputation
The single reason most players seek Microgaming out is Mega Moolah, its progressive jackpot network. It is a four-tier setup - Mini, Minor, Major and the headline Mega - where a random bonus wheel decides the tier, and the Mega pot has repeatedly climbed into the millions and set records for the largest online jackpot payouts. The trade-off is honest and worth stating: progressive slots skim a slice of every bet to feed the pot, so their base-game return runs leaner than a flat slot. You are buying a lottery ticket with better production values.

How it sits against the others
Think of the four studios at My Empire as four jobs. Pragmatic Play is the high-volatility new-hit machine, NetEnt is the low-key classics, Evolution owns the live floor, and Microgaming is the deep archive plus the jackpot. If you want the numbers side by side, the comparison page breaks down who supplies what.
My honest take: play Microgaming for two reasons and be clear which one you are chasing. If it is the Mega Moolah dream, accept the leaner base game and bet small, because you are paying for a shot at a jackpot you will almost certainly not hit. If it is variety, its catalogue depth is unmatched here and you will not run out of games. What I would not do is fund a jackpot chase with the whole welcome bonus - progressives are the worst place to grind wagering. For faster action, the Pragmatic titles like Gates of Olympus are the better use of a bonus balance.
