Microgaming, the world's largest provider of online gaming software, has announced it will power Maria Poker, Unibet's newest brand.

Maria Poker offers a uniquely feminine edge to gaming as the sister site to Maria Bingo, a highly successful bingo portal acquired by Unibet in 2007.

Petter Nylander, CEO of Unibet and Maria Poker, said: “We are excited to launch poker on the Maria brand, which is possibly the strongest female brand in northern Europe.

“By implementing Microgaming’s platform on Maria Poker we can ensure that the products we offer are the most innovative and captivating and well suited to the fun and feminine ethos of our newest gaming portal.”
