Slot Machine Providers

  For the purposes of organizing our detailed reviews of various slots games, we’ve organized this section of our site according to which companies design and manufacture which games. Slot machineproviders like IGT have been around for decades and serve both the land-based and online casino markets. Others, like Realtime Gaming, have been around for less than a decade and only serve theInternet market. Clicking on the links to the providers’ pages will take you to the information page on that company. That page will include a list of the games that company provides. On this page, we providebrief overviews of each company, including a couple of examples of well-known games that each company produces. We’ve done our best to make this section as comprehensive as possible, but there are literally thousands of slots games available. If we’ve left out a provider or a game that you feel is worthyof conclusion here, please use the information on our “contact us” page to let us know.

Cadillac Jack supplies gaming machines to casinos throughout the world. They create and build video reel slots, wide area, multi-level progressive jackpot games, and Latin style bingo games.They focus largely on the United States market, offering both Class II and Class III gaming machines there. They also have games that target the Mexican gaming market. Some of their betterknown games include Alaskan Husky, Geckos Gone Wild, and So Hot.

The “EGT” in EGT Interactive stands for “Euro Games Technology”. That should give you a good idea of where the company is located and which market they serve—Europe. Like many of the companieson this list, EGT focuses exclusively on the Internet and mobile gaming market—you won’t see their games in traditional land-based casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Their better-knowntitles include Flaming Hot Slots, Super Hot Slots, Blue Heart Slots, and Zodiac Wheel. You can learn more about the company on their page, and more about the specific games on the info pagesfor each game.

Endemol Games boasts of being the #1 provider of TV-themed slot machine games in the world. We’re a little bit dubious of this claim, as IGT holds the rights to Wheel of Fortune slots, which isprobably the best-known game of that genre in existence. That being said, Endemol Games does have an interesting selection of games, including slot machines based on Big Brother, Catch Phrase,and Deal or No Deal. Since all of these games are considerably newer than Wheel of Fortune, perhaps their claims as a leader are more credible than we think. At any rate, you can learn moreabout the company on its profile page and more about each game on its review page.

Konami Gaming was founded in Japan but now also has offices in Australia. They’re not as well-known as IGT, but they still provide a large number of gambling machines to casinos throughout theworld. Not surprisingly, many of their games have an Asian theme—Ancient Dragon and China Shores are two games from the company that come to mind immediately.

Microgaming is a UK based online casino software provider that’s best known for its large selection of progressive jackpot games on the Internet. They power some of the most famous andreputable casinos on the Internet, but none of the properties using their software allow real money players from the United States. They also have their own poker network, which also doesn’tallow USA players. They have a large stable of original games, including progressive jackpot games like Cash Splash and Major Millions. Unlike many exclusively online providers, they also offersome interesting licensed games, like Bridesmaids and Game of Thrones.

NextGet is short for Next Generation. The company is based in Australia. They were founded in 1999 and are known for offering games with unusual, innovative features. Some of their gamesinclude A Dragons Story, Dragon Drop, and King Tiger.

Novomatic Gaming provides both online games and games for brick and mortar casinos. The company was founded in 1980. They originally catered to a largely German audience, but they soon expandedinto France, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Some of the games available via their company include Book of Ra, Buffalo Thunder, and Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

Playtech is a software company similar to Microgaming—a leader in the field of online casino software. They left the United States market at the same time as Microgaming, but they still powergames at a large number of online casinos catering to an international clientele. They, too, have progressive jackpot games, but not as many as Microgaming. Their jackpots aren’t as high,either. Their most interesting and popular progressive jackpot games stem from their license with Marvel Comics—you can find slot machines based on The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, and IronMan, among others.
