In the world of online gaming, many companies are still trying to expand, and others are still trying to find their feet. Meanwhile, there are those established companies that are well enough known to have virtually solidified themselves a place in the industry for eternity. However, Euro Games Technology, or EGT, is not in any of these categories. While it may have solidified itself as a provider of software in the casino games area, it still hasn’t achieved the notoriety of some other big name brands. Don’t let that be any indication of the products it creates or the company itself, as EGT is still a big name within the sector. Headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, the company has always prided itself on a reputation of being amongst the fastest growing companies in the global gaming industry.

Founded in 2002, EGT has managed to make quick work of establishing itself as a competitor in the European continent. The year of 2008 would see them open their state-of-the-art manufacturing and administrative facility within Bulgaria, while several additional facilities would be opened in the proceeding years in Georgia, Hungary and Holland, allowing their products to reach across Europe from one end to the other with ease. The company’s speedy growth has been in large part thanks to the decision to expand into land-based gaming markets across the world, as well as provide online players with intriguing products to participate in. The primary product line consists of some of the most popular gaming cabinets and video slots around, and they currently serve over 75 different countries worldwide. Having the experience in land-based games has only served to assist them in the production of online products.

Producing innovative products has always been at the central scope of EGT, and in its land-based operations, the developer has created several cabinet game series, including such choices as the Collection Series and Vega Vision+ Series. All of these have been established alongside various alternative progressive jackpot games. Several of these games have been adapted to be played by online gamers, and while the main focus clearly lies in slots, there’s also one or two roulette and blackjack games on offer from the provider.

The name Euro Games Technology may already have a strong foothold in the bricks and mortar world of casinos, but they’re still pushing for more recognition in the online world. For such a competitive area, being lauded and recognised is no easy feat, although has obviously been achieved by a few big name brands like Betsoft or Netent. That being the case, it’s all too easy to bypass the lesser known companies, or to play a game by such a company without realising it’s theirs. Therefore, here are three reasons to play at an online casino offering products from EGT:

• It’s great that this developer has a large collection of products available, even if for now most of them are available via land-based casinos only. However, a decent amount of the games created by EGT have been turned over to the online community in recent years as well, including titles like ‘Ocean Rush’, transporting you under the sea to spin reels of sea-life, ‘Age of Troy’, which harkens back to ancient times, and the ‘Hot’ series, which includes ‘Flaming Hot’, ‘Burning Hot’ and ’40 Super Hot’, amongst others. That being the case, the online market is not specifically short on games from this developer, although more is never usually a bad thing.
• One thing that online casino games need to provide is a pleasant and visually appealing product, and EGT games, in general, are able to do just that. Most of their titles include rich graphics with strong game themes, as well as intriguing game play that often feature multiple extras. Progressive jackpot games are also available via their selection of products, although they’re not as prolific as what you might find in a Netent or Microgaming slot. However, overall, the experience you get when playing a game from this developer is pleasantly endearing.
• The company is one of the members of the Gaming Standards Association (GSA), which demonstrates its aspiration for the development, promotion and implementation of open standard for communication in the gaming industry. EGT stands by the belief that such a desire will only enhance innovation in the gaming industry, and if a company’s prime thoughts rest in the area of producing innovative, unique products for the market, this can only spell good things for consumers.

While still not as big a name in the online industry as it is in the land-based sector, Euro Games Technology has certainly managed to secure a big enough position to draw attention to itself. Standing behind the GSA creed will only allow them the strength and dedication to provide players with novel and interesting games, while still having a hand in providing land-based machines and software expands their reach even further. Offering a well-rounded selection of products, albeit fairly small in terms of table games, is exactly what a company needs to do in order to succeed across all areas of casino products. There’s still some work to be done, but EGT has definitely got more than a foot through the door of the online market, and if progress is as swift as it has been since their inception, we’ll be seeing a lot more of this company’s branded games in the near future.
