Play’n Go
Like many Swedish developers, with perhaps the most prominent being Net Entertainment, Play n Go attempts to offers something a little different in the online casino industry through new ideas and good old fashioned innovation. Indeed, bigger names like NetEnt are already so advanced that there is no point taking them on at their own game – you need to be a little different to what is out there in order to catch the eye of both casino operators and the players themselves. Play n Go is certainly well down that road as you’ll discover throughout the course of this feature and uses all of its experience, having been founded in 1997, to ensure a great range of games covering everything that players and host casinos could want. Speaking of casinos, check out these big names if you want to delve straight into the Play n Go experience for yourself:
Playson
Playson is an innovative gaming company that has its headquarters based in Malta. The company has over 250 staff working worldwide and has been established since 2012. The developer offers more than 40 Flash and HTML 5 games on top of custom game designs with solutions offered for partners on both the land-based and online platforms. The developer is currently licensed under the UK Gambling Commission but the firm has also held a license with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission since 2015. Playson has primarily offered high-quality HD animated slots titles to partners but has ventured into delivering video poker, roulette, and blackjack games for online platforms. The company has a number of strategic partners including BetConstruct, EveryMatrix, iSoftBet, Leader Games, and 1X2 Gaming. The developer releases its products online using the Microgaming Quickfire platform.
Pragmatic Play
Sometimes, software providers are born from the ashes of previous companies. This can happen when a previous developer sees its reputation decline, or simply can’t make its business financially viable, but still has some good games or other assets that might be desirable to investors, who feel like they can incorporate what’s left of the studio into another company that might be more successful. That appears to be exactly how Pragmatic Play was born. Created in 2015, the company will be very familiar to those who have played at TopGame casinos in the past. That software was first launched in 2007, and was best-known in the American market, as the studio primarily focused on providing games to grey market jurisdictions. However, TopGame also picked up a reputation for being associated with some very poor casinos, some of which were even rogue operators that took advantage of players who deposited with them. That wasn’t necessarily the software’s fault, of course; unfortunately, bugs were common as well in the early days, including some that were detrimental to players. As a result, the firm fell out of favor and eventually closed up shop entirely, being purchased by investors in 2015. They relaunched the software under the Pragmatic Play banner, once again targeting the US and other grey markets, and hoping that the maligned software could get a fair shake with a new generation of players who would judge it for what it offers now, rather than its questionable past under other ownership.
PT (Playtech)
Playtech is a major player in the online gambling industry. They operate the successful iPoker network as well as supplying a large number of online casinos with games. The selection of games they’ve developed is very diverse but they’re probably best known for their incredible range of slots. One of their best known series of slot games are based on the characters from Marvel Comics. Playtech was founded as a company in 1999 and they have gone on since then to become one of the most important companies in all of online gaming. Their games are known for being fluid, fun and packed with features and bonuses, while their casino software is one of the most innovative in the industry, allowing online casino partners to offer a flexible range of additional features, not to mention plenty of customisation options. This all combines to ensure that Playtech casinos are among the most diverse in the world and while they all offer a similar suite of casino games, the bonuses and other extras ensure that many serious players have accounts with multiple different Playtech casinos.
