Scientific Games is an American gaming company that has grown to become one of the biggest suppliers in the gambling world. Founded in 1973, they offer products in a wide range of different sectors: sure, you can find their platforms in casinos, but they may be best known for their lottery systems, which power many jackpots around the world – including the record setting Mega Millions and Powerball drawings that are held in the United States.

Today, the Scientific Games Corporation heads up a wide range of subsidiaries, many of which are known quantities in the online casino world in their own rights. Names like Bally Technologies, WMS, and Barcrest are well-regarded across the industry, and the firm also has holdings in many other gaming groups, including Sportech.

Among all these subsidiaries is a division known as SG Gaming. This corner of the company (which includes Barcrest and The Global Draw) is the one most active in the UK, where they develop gaming products related to bingo, arcades, and licensed betting offices. They also provide content for operators in the Internet gaming sphere from their offices in London and Manchester. While the number of games they feature online is somewhat limited, they tend to be quality products that deliver dependable and fun experiences for players.

When it comes to their brick-and-mortar offerings – which can be found in betting shops and other venues across the UK – SG Gaming has a bit of everything for players. But their online games are quite a bit more limited. In fact, as far as we can tell, they only license out some slot machines to a number of operators who offer real money play in the UK.

While the number of options available from this provider is limited, however, you’ll find that their machines are generally fun to play and well-presented, with a very professional look and feel to each one. A few of our favourite games from this company include:

Elvis Top 20: You can’t really go wrong when you’re playing with The King, and this machine is a wonderful celebration of the music and career of the legendary Elvis Presley. This 20 line, five-reel video slot features classic music: bonus rounds are set to hits like Blue Suede Shoes, which is fun even before you consider that you’ll have the chance to win hundreds of thousands of pounds on the right combinations. This game is simply fun, but it is an absolute must play for any fans of Elvis.

Monopoly Big Event: Yes, this is yet another provider that has created games based on the world’s most popular property-buying board game. Along with standard slot machine features, this game also gives you the chance to play to play some “big bet” games: one that offers a win multiplier, and another that earns you access to a bonus wheel that can earn you more wilds, progressive multipliers, or “epic spins” in which all off your wins are multiplied by five. You can also find your way into the Big Event Bonus, where you’ll earn free spins, guaranteed wins, and locked wild symbols.

Monty’s Millions: This popular land-based slot has been ported over to the online gambling world, where all the same action and potential for huge wins still exist. This relatively simple five-reel machine is filled with stacked wilds (the titular Monty himself), which combine with mansions, cars, and other symbols of wealth and power to cover 40 lines of play. Special features include a free spins game in which all of your earnings are doubled – and you can expect to win plenty, as there are even more wilds on the screen and the free spins can be retriggered at any time.

Rainbow Riches: It seems like every provider has a machine based on the luck of the Irish, and this one is no exception. Here, you’ll find a game filled with rainbows, leprechauns, and pots of gold, all of which add up to the chance to win as much as £200,000 on a single spin. There are also three distinct bonus games: Pots of Gold, Wishing Well, and the Road to Riches. If you enjoy the game, you might also want to take a look at two additional versions: Leapin’ Leprechauns and Pick n’ Mix, both of which provide slight variations on the original game.

Ca$hino: Another port of a popular land-based machine, Ca$hino uses a theme that any gambler is likely to enjoy: casinos! You’ll see a variety of casino-based mini-games included throughout this five-reel machine, such as a roulette feature that offers the chance for major prizes and a free spins bonus round that can earn you dozens of free plays. Even the scattered card symbols offer a “pick a card” game in order to determine just how much your prize will be worth.

As you might have guessed by this point, you aren’t currently going to find any Internet casinos that strictly rely on games or software provided by SG Gaming. Their interactive collection is still rather limited, and (at least for now) consists entirely of slots. That puts them in more of a supporting role in the industry for the time being.

But that’s not a negative. Games from this provider tend to be filled with fun features that offer the chance for massive prizes, making them entertaining to play. That, combined with their strong library of games that feature licensed properties, means that their products have plenty of fans throughout the UK that will be happy to see some familiar titles at online gaming sites. Few of these games could be described as revolutionary – or even particularly innovative – but they are fun, easy to play, and generally work flawlessly, which is more than enough for most players. SG Gaming and Barcrest have long been among the top providers for venues throughout the UK, and even if they can’t claim that mantle online, their tradition of excellence has certainly translated well to their web offerings.
