The veterans
These companies have been involved in software development business for over 10 years, but for various reasons they are moderately famous among players. Some developers promote their product rather passively, some are too focused on individual markets, others concentrate their effort on specific regions only.
Bossmedia, Cryptologic, Novomatic, 888/DragonFish have few casino clients. Each of them partners with around 10 casinos (monosoft membership), Cryptologic has only two partners. However, these game developers can often be seen as a component of the software on different platforms. Furthermore, Novomatic and DragonFish have started to increase revenue in different markets only 2-3 years ago, so if they manage to do a thoughtful approach, they will definitely strengthen their positions.
The primary sphere of interest for RealTimeGaming (RTG), WGS Technology (HCV Technology), TopGame and BetonSoft are still the audiences from the U.S. and Western Europe. Indeed, some companies do business in US semi-legally, operating remotely and bypassing local laws and prohibitions. The products by the companies mentioned mainly attract advanced players. The companies cater to seasoned players with good mathematical games; RTG and VegasTechnology have sections with regular tournaments.
As for the emerging companies, such as Betsoft, Neogames, NextGen – their products can often be found on multi-platform online casino games along with the leaders, Playtech or Microgaming.
