Have you ever paid attention to which software provider’s game you’re playing at an online casino? Probably not. After all you only care about playing the game, not dissecting it and knowing every little thing about it. The thing is, knowing which is the software provider might be useful to you, especially if you want to find a similar game to the one you fancy. Plus, there are certain perks of playing the games of the best software houses, as they guarantee higher RTPs, better performance and a more engaging experience. So here I’ll make a short presentation of the best casino software developers on the market and the top slots that are developed by them.

Playtech

Playtech is probably the most widely used casino software. They are famous for the fact that they hold the exclusive rights to develop Marvel-based games. And though their games are not of the highest quality in terms of graphics and animations, they have many that are among the most popular ones on the UK market: Spiderman slot, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, X-Men, The Avengers and so on. A very important fact is that their games are offered both in instant play and in download mode.

Microgaming

Microgaming are famous because of the fact that they developed the first casino software. And though their platform looks like something stolen from the 90s, their games, especially the newer ones, are pretty awesome. Some of the more interesting titles by Microgaming are Mega Moolah, Jurassic Park, HitMan, Avalon, Game of Thrones and so on. Just like Playtech, Microgaming’s platform is offered both in download and in instant play mode.

IGT

IGT are one of the oldest and most famous software houses in the gambling industry. In their portfolio, they have many famous titles like Pharaoh’s Fortune, Kitty Glitter, Family Guy, Wolf run, Wheel of Fortune, Siberian Storm, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek, Prowling Panther, Mayan Riches to mention but a few. Surely, if you’ve been playing online casino games for some time, you’ve tried at least one of the above-mentioned games that they have developed.

NetEnt

NetEnt are hands-down the best casino software development house in the world in terms of quality and graphis. Just look at some of their more famous titles: Gonzo’s Quest, Aliens, Starburst, Twin Spin, The Invisible Man, South Park, Jack Hammer, Mega Fortune… They all look fantastic and are super engaging and fun to play. Then there are the newer titles which once again are pushing the limits of how an online slot should look. I’ve never seen slots that resemble their video slots Space Wars, Creature from the Black Lagoon, EggOmatic, Attraction, Cosmic Fortune, Alien Robots and Hook’s Heroes.

But that’s not all. NetEnt are actually the software house that has the best mobile development division which is called NetEnt Touch. They’ve managed to create games that are as smooth and well-functioning on mobile as they are on desktop. All in all, when it comes to online slots, I recommend you focus on the games of NetEnt. You won’t be disappointed!

There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of slot games out there, all of them offering different engaging themes, bonus features, free spins, re-spins and so on. If you’re a new player, you’ll certainly find it difficult to pick a game to try so I decided to make a list of the ten slots that over time have proven themselves to be the best and the most popular ones on the UK market.

Mega Moolah

Mega Moolah is a 5 reel 25-payline slot developed by Microgaming. What’s impressive about this slot is definitely not the animal theme but rather the huge progressive jackpot that often goes over £10,000,000! That’s exactly why most British players prefer to play this slot to others.

Aliens

This is one of the masterpieces of the famous software house NetEnt. Based on the video game, Aliens slot brings you excitement and action-packed adventures in the form of a slot machine with great graphics and sounds and profitable bonus rounds. When it comes to engagement and quality of the graphics, Aliens has no competition at all.

Gonzo’s Quest

This is not only one of my favourite slots ever, it’s also one of the most popular titles by NetEnt. If you’re bored of the classic spinning reels, then try this game. Instead of spins here you have falls, as the symbols are represented by stones which fall from the top of the screen and stack up on top of each other to form the winning lines. If there is, in fact, a winning line, the stones that form it will explode making space for more stones that might form another winning line. This is called an Avalanche feature and in this game it comes with higher multiplier for every consecutive avalanche.

Starburst

I never understood why but Starburst is the single most popular online slot in the world. The only explanation I have is that most players prefer simplicity and great graphics to progressive jackpots, bonus features and free spins. Oh, well, that’s their choice. Still, I have to be as objective as possible even though I myself don’t enjoy this game and admit that the payouts are pretty nice and the visuals are truly stunning.

Family Guy

The highly anticipated Family Guy slot by IGT is finally here and is taking the online casino world by storm. With the humour from the show that we all know and love and the numerous bonus games and features, this happens to be one of the most engaging slot machines out there and one that you definitely have to try!

Jurassic Park

Even if you’re not a fan of the movies, you simply have to try this slot by Microgaming! There are so many perks to playing it, you’ll realise it a few spins into the game. Let’s start by saying that there are 5 different onus rounds in the game plus a nice feature called T-Rex Alert Mode which will bring you some extra wilds. Then, I just have to mention that the graphics are unbelievably vivid and high quality and the parallax background brings to bring the game even more to life!

Monty Python’s Spamalot

We all love Monty Python so it’s not that big of a surprise that one of the most popular online slots in the UK is one based on the popular comedy group. The game is developed by Playtech and features funny bonus games and profitable free spins accompanied by the most popular music of the show – ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’.

South Park

If you’re a fan of the show, then you’ll certainly become a fan of the game! The casino game South Park is developed by the best software provider in the world NetEnt and is a 5-reel 25-payline video slot which features several bonus rounds, free spins and growing multipliers. It’s fun, it’s profitable and it’s simple. So why not try it?

Book of Ra

Book of Ra is one of the most popular slots not only on the Internet but also at land-based casinos. It’s developed by Novomatic and is a 5-reel 10-payline slot featuring free spins and a gamble option. I personally consider this slot the ultimate casino classic.

Millionaire Genie

Millionaire Genie is a slot developed by 888’s proprietary software development company Random Logic. It’s a 15-payline 5-reel slot and it features a bonus game, free spins and the chance to win a huge progressive jackpot. Not bad, huh?
