Casino Game Providers – A Living History

Any proper history lesson in the realm of Casino game providers begins and ends with the folks at Microgaming. Microgaming is widely seen as the trailblazing company that started it all with popular table games like Blackjack online and Roulette online. From there they went ahead and developed Cash Splash which was a blockbuster in 1998. Beyond Microgaming though there are several other companies that were also there when the industry began that also caught on.

Providers whose popularity has soared over the last few years like NetEnt and Playtech are seen as some of the more forward-thinking online gaming providers in this bustling industry. Let’s take a deep dive into some of these more popular providers.

Microgaming
Microgaming was the very first casino game provider to develop traditional casino table games. At first, they used games like roulette and blackjack on their own casino platform but over time they realised it made more sense to specialise in one field only. So they decided to team up with other casinos and simply supply the games.

Possibly the smartest move Microgaming made was not focusing simply on traditional casino table games and instead of developing an expansive library of games from many different genres.

In addition to developing the first Online Roulette and Blackjack games, they also created the first 3-reel and 5-reel slots. In 1998 they created a game called Cash Splash, which would revolutionize the online slots industry by offering a progressive jackpot pay-out.

This paved the way for them to create even more progressive jackpot slots, many of which became gold standards on which other progressive games are still based today.

CryptoLogic

CryptoLogic used to be a major casino slot provider but they don’t exist as such anymore. As a matter of fact, although they did begin in the casino industry, their initial focus was not on developing games.

Early on, CryptoLogic developed security platforms dealing with encrypted communication between players and online casino operators. Their initial foray into this part of the industry was meant to give them the opportunity to test their security protocols.

Sometime later they realised a potential for profit by the licensing of their gaming software and developed an arm of CryptoLogic called: “WagerLogic”. WagerLogic is still seen today on some games but is no longer owned by CryptoLogic as they sold it to a company called Amaya Gaming in 2012.

Playtech

Playtech is a company which background story could remind you of the super-heroes “The X-Men”. Back in 1999, they recruited the best people from around the industry with different strengths from software engineering to multimedia to form Playtech. That experience has served them well as Playtech was the very first casino slot provider to offer live dealer games. They started doing this way back in 2003, only two short years after their very first games made their debut.

NetEnt

NetEnt is a company that may not have the same longevity in the industry as Microgaming and doesn’t have the technical wizardry as Playtech but it has still managed to leave its mark in the online casino world.

NetEnt, a Scandinavian company which is based in Stockholm, also started out as an online casino, and was an immediate success, not in the least thanks to the solid brick-and-mortar casino experience of the founders of the company. It currently specialises in 3D animated slots and a touch-slot casino gaming platform developed for mobile gaming.

Evolution of the Industry

The time in history when these four companies made their mark is an important one in the world of gambling as a whole. Not only did all four companies realise the potential profit in running their very own online casinos with the software they developed, but they farmed their platforms out to other online casino ventures around the world. To do that, the quality of the software needed to be top-notch since it reflected on the casino either way and all casinos – online or otherwise – need to put forth an image of glitz and glamour.

As the industry grew in the early 2000’s, and more and more people became interested in running their very own online casinos, these companies made money by selling their software and in some cases their online casinos themselves. In a few years, there were over 3000 online casinos run by different licensees under one software provider.

Each provider did their level best to maintain an ethical order to make sure these online casinos were run by reputable people but sometimes needed to pull the plug on a casino that was found to have been cheating its customers.

After 2009, Online Casinos began to offer games from multiple providers and things expanded outwardly with casinos offering up games with different looks from all different software providers. This caused even more competition between the providers which increased the quality of the software each one put out.

Online slot providers

As we mentioned before – if there’s one thing Mr Green offers its players it’s: options. Not only have we paired with big-name slot providers like Play n’ GO, NetEnt, Quickspin and Yggdrasil but we don’t discriminate when it comes to smaller brands either. When you join you’ll have the chance to see the big hits, but you may come across a few online slots you haven’t seen yet. Whether it’s a big-time game or a slot you’ve never played before, the money you can earn all spends the same way!

Starburst and Thunderstruck are two more popular game names you may recognise but whether you’re into fantasy games where you’re slaying serpents, or you fancy the old school casino games or even colourful and bubbly reel to reel games, we have whatever it is you’re looking for.

We’re also not a company that rests on success so, in addition to our colossal library of games, we’ve made it a point to add to our library as new and exciting games become available. Our colour might be “Green”, but this rolling stone won’t ever gather moss.

For players who prefer to play games that come from one slot provider, we give you the opportunity to browse all that provider’s games until you find just what you’re looking for. We are also of the belief that variety is the spice of life and encourage our players to try games from different providers. Sometimes you need to try something new to realise what you’ve been missing.

Novomatic is an example of just one of our smaller-name slot providers who you may not have heard much about yet but is fast becoming a popular name in the industry. Be the first in your circle of friends to try out something new and introduce them to a new game.

Progressive jackpot providers

Ever since Microgaming introduced progressive jackpots to the world of online slots, the concept has taken off. With so many providers offering these jackpots now, you have plenty of chances to earn some serious cash.

Mega Fortune is a popular online slot game we have that offers progressive jackpot pay-outs. With so many players interested in earning a fortune, the pools of these progressive jackpots continue to grow to new heights of millions of euros.

Microgaming was the first online casino game provider to offer progressive slots online and also has the progressive slots with the all-time highest pay-outs: Mega Moolah. Mega Fortune (also from Microgaming) is a close second in terms of overall highest pay-outs but if you’re looking for something new, NetEnt and Playtech have also created some outstanding online slots like Arabian Nights, Hall of Gods and Major Millions. These slots are also worth a gamble – if only to try your luck at something new. What a great way to reset your “beginner’s luck”!

You’ll find some other progressive slots under the “jackpots” heading in our casino with movie themes like “Naked Gun” and even more current and popular shows like “Game of Thrones” themed online slot games. Take your time to scroll through our unique library of slots.

Table game providers

Close your eyes and think about the last time you went to a casino. Depending on where you live there’s probably a considerable drive involved. Then, you need a place to stay so you’ve gotta pay for a room and as long as you’re making a drive and paying for a room, you don’t want to waste your time, so you’ll stay for at least a few days. Weekend days cost more so you can expect to pay the top rate. What about food? Casinos are known to have fancy restaurants and that costs money too!

Before you’ve even sat down to play, most players are already fighting an uphill battle.

That’s what’s so great about online casino providers. Players can get that same thrill from the comfort of their own homes without getting dressed up to impress anyone. Players can play games like Blackjack online, Online Roulette or baccarat on their lunch break or on a rainy night when the last thing you want to think about is going on a long drive to a casino. Here’s a breakdown of a few of the table games we offer so you can see for yourself!

Roulette

To many, Roulette is just Roulette. To the experienced casino player, however, roulette can be American, European or French. What’s more, roulette can be any one of those three types as well as versions from NetEnt, Microgaming or Playtech. Roulette is most certainly NOT just roulette.

NetEnt’s version of roulette offers crystal clear graphics along with all three (American, European and French) options along with special features including a quick-spin feature.

Playtech also offers the same three versions of roulette along with a “professional” version and offers customisable game control and gameplay.

Microgaming is the gold standard when it comes to roulette games online with plenty of titles and game-types offered along with a 3D version called the Gold Series and a multiplayer version of roulette.

Poker game providers

Just as in roulette, there are plenty of online game providers that offer online poker slots including the same big names: NetEnt, Playtech and Microgaming. Because of the number of types and styles of poker, there is a whole universe of different types of Online Poker slots. Much more so than other games like Blackjack and Roulette that have fewer styles.

IGT may not be a name you’re as familiar with however they are a strong player in the world of online poker slots and offer Triple Draw Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker and multi-hand poker, among many other types from a tremendous number of providers.

We would never want to limit our players when it comes to poker options or types of play. Even if one poker-type doesn’t look like your cup of tea, one big hit may change your mind.

Live Casino providers

In the ever-evolving world of online gaming, providers are always looking for ways to make gaming more convenient for their players. Like most casinos do, Mr Green uses live casino providers to offer a live service. Evolution Gaming is currently the company at the forefront of the live casino experience. They offer high-quality streaming along with a voluminous library of games to choose from. Of course, other mammoth providers like NetEnt also offer plenty of options when it comes to live games.

One advantage to using Mr Green is the fact that you’re nowhere near as limited as you would be when using some other casinos. Players used to play Live Casino games with NetEnt dealers will be pleasantly surprised the first time they try Evolution Gaming’s versions of the same games.

The Most Popular

Online gaming mirrors real-life casino gaming in that the most popular casino games are the exact same games that are the most popular online. These are Live Baccarat, Live Blackjack, Live Roulette and Live Poker. The addition of different game variations gives players even more of an opportunity to win since there are multiple ways to win now. Many times, the online versions of games offer features that the standard casino games don’t offer.

Here at Mr Green, there are three totally different live casino experiences from the different platforms we work with. Of course, we work with only the very best online providers. NetEnt, Evolution Gaming and Authentic Gaming gives our players the option of different looks and feels. After all, we realise that you can invest your money in any online casino. That’s why we go out of our way to make sure you have access to the best the industry has to offer. As gaming evolves and the industry changes, you can rest assured Mr Green will continue to stay ahead of the curve.

Live Casino Roulette Providers at Mr Green

One example of the kind of “best-of-the-best” mentality we here at Mr Green have, is the fact that we selected Evolution Gaming as one of the key providers for roulette games. Evolution’s roulette offers multiple camera views, hot and cold numbers, game history and mini-wheel style roulette where players have an even better chance of making frequent scores.

NetEnt is known for its unique game style and gives players the choice between blackjack and roulette tables.

Authentic Gaming provides live feeds from several European casinos from London, other parts of the UK and around the continent. With live streams from roulette tables across Europe, you don’t need to leave the comfort of your living room armchair if you’re in need of a little roulette action.

Mobile-Optimised Providers

Since we truly understand the vital need to make sure the player is always taken care of, one very important area of focus is the ability for our players to access these casino games from their phone, laptop or tablet. There are plenty of great games out there but believe it or not, not all of them are universally compatible. We try our best to weed out anything our players cannot function easily because we ourselves play games on our own site, so we know what works.

NetEnt and Yggdrasil are two of the very best when it comes to playing by phone or tablet. NetEnt was the first company to develop Java-based slots which means they can run more easily on mobile devices. NetEnt now uses HTML5 so they’re another example of how the best companies never rest on success. They continue to evolve with the times and that’s just one reason they’re still considered at the top of the food chain of providers. Yggdrasil uses their own type of technology – something called iSense + 2.0, and that technology has served their players well over the years. As newer software becomes available and technology advances, be suspect that Yggdrasil will be spearheading the evolution of the industry as they have done in the past.

Any true online player needs to access their games when they want them, and they don’t want to settle for a provider who doesn’t operate with their iPhone or Android phone. We agree they shouldn’t have to. As a matter of fact, Mr Green has won the Mobile Operator of the Year award because of the work they put into making sure their players have universal access to their ever-expanding library of games.
