Casino Software Providers
Bonuses, promotions, payment methods, and free spins are all important factors when you choose an online casino. But there’s something else that you should look at: the casino software providers whose games you get to play. A game provider can make or break your gaming experience. Not to mention your winnings thanks to the promotions run by various casino software providers.
The game providers usually have a signature style. You can expect, for example, that Amusnet games will be simple and volatile fruit machines, while NetEnt games will be beautiful, innovative, and fun. But there's another thing: jackpots, payout frequencies, and other factors that can make or break your gaming sessions. Let's take a look at some of the most popular casino software providers you'll stumble upon when playing at South African online casinos.

Another veteran, with a history that goes back almost 30 years, NetEnt is now part of the Evolution Gaming family. At one point, the Swedish studio was called “the Apple of the casino industry” due to its innovative games and perfect game design. Their excellence is showcased by the countless awards they won over the years. That is until they became part of the Evolution Gaming family.
Even today, NetEnt’s games are among the most beloved online video slots in casinos worldwide and in South Africa. Titles like Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, Twin Spin, and Drive: Multiplier Mayhem. Some of their characters were even transformed into live casino games like Dead or Alive Saloon and Gonzo’s Treasure Map.

A more recent addition to the casino scene, but still with a decade of experience, Red Tiger is famous for its quality games and innovative features. As part of the Evolution Gaming family, its games often overlap with NetEnt’s offerings. But it has its own famous games to go around with titles like Vault Breaker, 777 Strike, and Cash Volt.
The fun part of Red Tiger games is the leaderboards and tournaments that turn an average slot machine session into a fun experience.
