Although iGaming operators now offer their players a wide variety of games of all types, online slot machines remain the most played of their games for now. Part of their popularity is due to their variety: there are literally thousands of them to go around, from the simplest, almost minimalistic, to complex games with elaborate graphics, and sometimes even backstories.
But online slots – and their providers – are not created equal. Here are the online slots providers that received the most recognition from the industry in 2023.
Pragmatic Play
At this year’s EGR B2B Awards, Pragmatic Play was chosen as the top casino software supplier of 2023. Known for its elaborate online slot machines and popular jackpots, Pragmatic Play has given the world games like Big Bass Bonanza, The Dog House, and countless others.
Founded in 2015, Pragmatic Play has taken the industry by storm with its attractive games and innovative solutions. The company continues to deliver high-quality gaming products to this day.
Playson
While it may not be one of the biggest game providers in the industry, Playson is the slot machine developer that its employees love the most: it was chosen the Employer of the Year at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards.
Playson was founded in 2012 and presented its first games at the 2014 ICE London. Today, the company has its headquarters in Sliema, Malta.
Hacksaw Gaming
There are countless new studios inundating the market with their innovative – or even traditional – online slot machines. Out of the many, a single name emerges Hacksaw Gaming, winner of the “Slot Supplier Rising Star” award at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards.
Hacksaw is a small company, with just around 50 employees, that has been around for just five years. Its mobile-first approach and brave choice of themes made it an instant fan favorite.
SOFTSWISS
We mentioned a variety of companies building slot machines for players – now let’s take a look at one that brings it to them. Based in Minsk, and with offices all over Europe, Softswiss is one of the top gaming and affiliate platform providers. This is especially true this year, as it was named the industry’s top aggregator platform at the 2023 EGR B2B Awards.
Livespins
Finally, let us mention one of the bravest innovators of the industry this year, the company that adds a social touch to the otherwise lonely practice of casino games: Livespins. Their product merges streaming, chat, and gambling, allowing players to sit behind the streamer, bet on their actions, and have a world of fun in the process.
This innovative approach didn’t go unnoticed, of course: Livespins was named the top innovator in slots provision at the 2023 edition of the EGR B2B Awards.
Whether you’re into daily bonus drops and elaborate slot machines, platforms that give you access to thousands of games, social interactions while you gamble, or innovative, mobile-first titles, these are the slot suppliers that you need to thank for them.
