Slot Developers – the Best of 2020
The best slot developers for 2020 include some companies that have been at the top since the 90’s, while others appeared in the last decade. The most legitimate online casinos work with one or several of them to offer hundreds of fun games to their players.
It’s 2020, and the following developers are in prime form, providing slot aficionados with endless hours of great iGaming entertainment.
Microgaming
The company that claims to have developed the world’s first online casino software, is just as relevant today as it was 26 years ago when it was founded. Microgaming is an award-winning iGaming brand that has a ton of history behind it, and one that doesn’t rest on its laurels.
Quite the contrary, it still churns out products that feature outstanding graphics and big jackpot wins. This company, based in the Isle of Man, is also keeping pace with technological advancement, having introduced VR into their games with a focus on VR roulette.
Betsoft
Known for its 3D slot games, Betsoft is an industry leader when it comes to mobile gaming. It incorporates Shift technology into their products, a framework that uses HTML5 and provides great security. This makes all their games equally compatible with desktops and smartphones.
The company has won numerous accolades over the years, such as Best Producer of Gaming Solutions, and the Casino Content Supplier Award from EGR. Their portfolio is vast, with over 150 games, and their reputation – impeccable.
NetEnt
The juggernaut of the iGaming world. NetEnt is a global company with offices around the world and headquarters in Stockholm. It has over 700 employees and looms over its competition by producing games that are unmatched in all areas.
There’s perhaps no better-known developer than NetEnt due to massive hits like Starburst, Dead or Alive, Gonzo’s Quest, and Arabian Nights. If you have ever thrown a glance at any reputable online casino, you’ve seen some of these titles often tied into bonuses and welcome packages.
Playtech
Another industry leader, and a rare developer that can go toe-to-toe with NetEnt. Founded in 1999, Playtech is the world’s largest online gaming software supplier traded on the London Stock Exchange, and one that’s rich in history.
While Playtech may have had its ups and downs throughout the years, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more powerful and diverse developer. Their library of games includes everything from mythology-themed slots to cartoony offerings. They’re also a rare example of a developer that has purchased licenses to major Hollywood blockbusters, as well as the likeness of prominent football stars for its games.
Realtime Gaming
One of the pioneers in the online casino sphere, having established operations in 1998, Realtime Gaming has maintained its position on the market and is still one of the biggest brands out there.
They’re known for tailoring games for American players and ones that are designed in a way that the casinos can offer larger and more frequent bonuses. They have a wide catalog of slots, including many that offer progressive jackpots and they also create traditional games, like blackjack, keno, and other popular table games.
Rival Gaming
Established in 2006, Rival is one of Realtime Gaming’s main competitors when it comes to cornering the market on customers from the US. It does this by offering slots that provide progressive jackpots, whose winnings while smaller than competitors, can still run into the millions.
This is the company that’s responsible for classics like Blazin’ Buffalo and Cleopatra’s Coins. It has also developed many table and video poker games, and has innovated the iSlot concept. Games that feature episodic storylines that unfold as you play. It’s the slot equivalent to a role-playing game. Recognizable titles from this genre are – Reel Crime and A Switch in Time.

She recognises that with new markets opening, rising player expectations and ever-evolving regulations, the pace of change in our industry is relentless – but rather than being put off by the challenges, she’s sees the opportunities and is already thinking about how Swintt can capitalise.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has launched Mission 2030, a new five-year strategy to strengthen its role as the global standard for sports betting integrity. IBIA also unveiled a refreshed brand identity, reflecting its growing international reach and commitment to collaboration in an evolving regulatory and sporting landscape.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, commented: “As IBIA marks its 20th anniversary, we are not only reflecting on the past, we are also looking ahead to the future. Our new strategic roadmap charts how we will continue to deliver best in class integrity services to our members, deepen collaboration with our partners, and successfully confront the challenges and opportunities reshaping our industry. IBIA is evolving to ensure that whatever new trends emerge, we remain ready to safeguard sports, consumers and regulated betting markets.”
Mission 2030 focuses on three core objectives:
- Strengthening IBIA’s Global Monitoring & Alert Platform (Global MAP) to detect suspicious betting and support investigations;
- Expanding collaboration by deepening and broadening our partnerships across the global sports integrity ecosystem; and
- Advancing prevention through better regulation, effective policy engagement and player education initiatives.
Mission 2030 serves as a strategic roadmap, setting direction and priorities while allowing flexibility to meet emerging trends, such as AI, crypto, esports and new market openings that are reshaping the betting and integrity landscape at an unprecedented pace. Detailed actions and tactical initiatives will be developed and delivered in partnership with IBIA’s members, ensuring the association remains flexible, innovative and proactive.
To mark this next chapter, IBIA has also unveiled a new brand identity. The redesigned logo, with six interwoven segments, represents the stakeholders vital to protecting betting integrity: operators, sports, regulators, law enforcement, athletes and institutions. Together, they form the foundation of IBIA’s work. The new strapline, “Safeguarding Sports Betting”, captures the essence of IBIA’s mission.
Khalid Ali added: “To achieve our ambitions, we need to evolve and that starts with the way we present ourselves. More than just a visual update, our new brand is a key building block of Mission 2030. It reflects not just who we are today, but where we are heading tomorrow.”
