Casino game providers

For avid casino gamblers, the terms ‘software providers’ and 'casino game providers' are quite clear, furthermore, players who keep up with industry news and updates are sure to have as many as two or three closest providers whose new games are eagerly awaited and tested moments after publishing.
However, there are many fans of both traditional and online gambling who rarely go to the casino to play one or two favorite games, and only change their choice to something new if they experience a longer period of loss. Such players are unlikely to be familiar with the companies that develop casino games.
Here's a brief look at what these companies do, what the industry leaders are, and what to look for when choosing a particular casino game software provider.

Casino game providers are companies that develop games and other software for the casinos – both online and land-based. Nowadays, casinos focus more on the operational side of the casino rather than developing games themselves. This is where software developers step in – there are more than many companies, that create our favorite titles. 
Casino game software providers have to acquire similar licenses as online casinos do, but actually, these companies are much more under pressure for every aspect of the game to be tested, fair and according to the legislation.  

Industry leaders have often earned their wave of popularity thanks to their slot machine portfolio, but these are not the only products produced by gambling software providers. Slots are joined by virtual table games - Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat - and Video Poker. 
Furthermore, larger companies also provide live streaming of live casino games with real casino dealers. It should be noted, however, that providers of such services often choose to focus only on the production of such products in order to focus all resources directly on the development of live casino products.
In addition, gambling developers also offer a variety of other casino games such as Bingo, Keno, Scratchcards, virtual sports, and horse racing. Larger companies have also developed their jackpot networks, which offer higher prizes and can be applied to a variety of games, from slot machines to table games and the poker network.

There are a lot of pioneer companies that provide casinos with software, and new companies that focus only on the development of specific products, such as slot machines, are becoming increasingly popular. However, a couple of companies are considered to be the leaders of the industry, the majority of which have been around for many years - almost from the beginning of the online gambling industry.

NetEnt or Net Entertainment

NetEnt is one of the most experienced developers of the gambling industry. The company was founded in 1996 in Sweden and was one of the first online casino software developers. NetEnt has built up a significant collection of games over the years, at least a few of which have been tried by anyone who has ever played in an online casino.
NetEnt games are known for their innovative design and special bonus features. The company's most popular slot machines are Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Dead or Alive (part 1 and 2), as well as jackpot slots like Hall of Gods, Mega Fortune, and Arabian Nights.
In addition to slots, NetEnt also offers high-quality Live casino streaming as well as virtual table games. Read more about the company in the NetEnt review

Microgaming

Microgaming is another company that has overcome many milestones in the industry since its inception. Without Microgaming, online gambling would not be what we it is today. With a collection of casino games approaching 1,000 titles, Microgaming has received a significant number of awards and recognitions over the years.
Probably, you are familiar with many slots from this provider, including the most popular Immortal Romance, as well as jackpot meha-hits - Mega Moolah, King Cashalot, and Major Millions. Micorgaming currently publishes various creations by smaller companies, such as Slingshot Studios, Just For the Win, Neon Valley Studios, and others.

Play’n GO

Play’n GO is another Swedish company founded in 2004. Play’n GO is proud of its mobile casino games with excellent HD quality, as well as the company’s mega-popular collection, that includes slots, like The Book of Dead, Leprechaun Goes Egypt, and Reactoonz.
During the past few years, the company has experienced a huge popularity wave and has become the most searched casino software developer on the Internet. In addition to slots, Play’n GO also offers an impressive collection of virtual table games, including Video Poker, Bingo, Scratchcards, and other fast games.

Playtech

Playtech was founded in 1999 in Estonia. Playtech is a very large and popular company, but its games are not available in every casino (unlike NetEnt, Microgaming and Play’n GO), so if a casino offers Playtech slots and other company’s gambling games, it is a great advantage for this casino.
The company has many different areas of business, but basically the two the most impressive things that Playtech is proud of are the world's largest poker network, iPoker, and themed slots, created in partnership with DC Entertainment. So Superman, The Dark Knight, Justice League, and other DC comic book characters have entered the world of gambling thanks to Playtech. 
Also, few games has been created in collaboration with Warner Bros: The Matrix, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Rocky, and others. Read more about Playtech in the review.

Nolimit City

Usually, the top 5 of the best casino software providers are experienced companies, and basically these tops are always the same. However, SixSlots wanted to highlight a brand new company among the best gambling game developers. We chose - Nolimit City. This company was founded in 2013 in Sweden.
The company is now embarking on its winning streak of high-volatility games. Its most recent works, Dragon Tribe, Punk Rocker, and Barbarian Fury, have gained a huge wave of popularity, offering special and innovative features like xNudge, xWays, and more. Read more about the company in the Nolimit City review.

These are the TOP five online casino software companies, but there are many great developers that provide games for online casinos. Here at SixSlots, we've compiled information on some of the most popular gambling developers. We hope to offer a more extensive list of gambling providers soon by summarizing the story of each company, the most important game features and things that are definitely worth paying attention to.
