Your top 3 slot providers right now and why

[conker]

I'm interested to know what are the top slot providers for members at Casinomeister right now. I am going to get the ball rolling with:

1. Peter & Sons - there is something very creative about the slots they are rolling out right now. The artwork is off the charts as far as I am concerned. The maths on the games is pretty gnarly too, making their slots very engaging.
2. Print Studios - although they have been a little slow getting some new content out this year, I have to say Dreadworks is still one of my favourites releases or recent times. I also enjoyed Win-o-mart for it's imaginative bonus feature.
3. Play'n GO - I've got to applaud any slot developer that can resist the allure of 'Bonus Buys' in an era when many just see the extraction of funds from players as the main only objective. They still create some great slots, with Tomb of Dead likely to be another bit hit.

 

[L&L-Jan]

@conker 1 and 2, really agree. They are capable to create something new, something different without fixed jackpots.

Be aware though that P&S games are quite high volatile. Keep an eye on our end, we get their games exclusive 2 weeks ahead of release date. I had the opportunity with potion power and blood club.

 

[megadam]

Great idea! Here's mine

1: Print Studios - The variety in the games and their different win profiles make them my number 1 at the moment. Always got something different between releases, consistently high quality and enjoyable.

2: Nolimit City - They offer variety though recently it's been hit and miss in terms of the quality (AI art in a slot is just lazy, e.g Blood Diamond) but you know that they can produce bonkers hits and also have some all-time classics for me.

3: Hacksaw Gaming: They churn out games consistently with a know what you'll get style. Mostly high volatility, sometimes the bonus is hard as anything to land but again they've got a variety in their portfolio that's really enjoyable whether you want to get absolutely rinsed on Wanted or Duel at Dawn or scream at Le Bandit for never chucking you a pot when you want one.

I'd be interested to see which are the worst providers people want to put on the list. I have a feeling that a provider beginning with the letter P will be at the top of the list.

Play & Go, seriously?

One of the few providers that routinely hides RTP from all markets except where it's mandatory, has some of the worst sub-90% RTP models available, and the vast, vast majority of their slots have never ever hit their max win.

That's some reasonable points. However, I think you will find it is the casinos that decide to choose the RTP rates. Granted, the developers are allowing them to do this, but Play'n GO are far from the only ones.

They were in my list more for the quality of the games, artwork, creativity, rather than a pure measurement of value. But I agree with you that RTP models should certainly be a factor to consider.

The point being made is that PnG hide their RTPs in those markets where it is not mandatory to show it.

Many providers have different RTP versions of each of their slots but most (in my experience) tend to show what the RTP is in pay tables or help files. PnG don’t always display it and that is underhanded.

 

[satchnz]

For me it’s pretty boring but I go where I see results.

1. Hacksaw Gaming - I like their mechanics (even if they like reskinning slots) and I can actually land super bonuses on them. I try to stick to the 3/5 volatility slots of theirs but occasionally get lured by the even more volatile ones.
2. Backseat Gaming/Bullshark Games/NowNow Gaming/Twist Gaming - pretty much the same as Hacksaw but I’ve had some great wins on their games.
3. Massive Studios - these guys are exclusive to Stake and make some super super volatile slots. Bonuses are hard to land on their slots, but when you do, it normally pays quite well to exceptionally well.

 

[interlog]

No Limit City for me - despite the volatility of their slots, I find that the base game doesn't play too bad and can give some proper decent wins in it. I recently have been playing Fire in the Hole 2 a lot and find a £50 deposit on £0.20 spins lasts me 2 to 3 hours which I don't find too bad value for money

Well, that is fair enough. I haven't experienced it myself, but it is very useful to understand some of the frustrations experienced from players in other markets. I don't agree with hiding RTP's, this should have been something that all regulators made mandatory when they set up their legislation.

 

[dunover]

NLC best graphics but maths very predictable in most.

I go:
WMS (pre-L&W)
BTG
Hacksaw

 

[snorky510238]

They’re all shite!

 

[kou187]

WMS (pre-L&W)
Pragmatic
Play N Go

 

[X-Raided]

NoLimit City - For theme of slots, creativity and music, with some occasional (very rare) bonker wins.

BTG - Consistent and fun to play. (with the exception of their shit sequel Danger! High Voltage II )


Endorphina - If you know, you know. Bonuses are hard to get, but can give out some crazy wins. I also like their gamble your win feature.

2&3?

Here, ladies and gentlemen. Here, is a man with no fear. A man who thrives, gets emboldened, from any onslaught presented to him. A rare one, who's actions alone prove he seeks to endure pain and suffering. Here, here is a man who the history slot books will honour for centuris to come. a man, that despite all odds, stuck true to his beliefs. A man of convictions, not frightened in the slightest. Not worried about consequences or fate, such as scrounging for pennies with a cup outside Macce D's or enduring 1000 spins for a dead bonus. .

If one was to type into google the words "hacksaw rigged" . What would it say? I'll save you the trouble. I shall tell you. It will tell about the movie, Hacksaw ridge. It will not tell you the truth, however persistent you may be.
Nolimitcity? If he typed that? Well, he'd be reading about the base games being pointless. He'll take the optimal route which leads to Macce D's, and he'll buy them damn bonuses with his heart on his sleeve.

Why? No, not because he is a fool. It's because he fears nothing. He embraces the challenge, and accepts the results.. He also wants cash, not a cheeseburger or Apple pie. Thoughtful? Sure. But what he needs is a crisp £10 note. Not the leftovers of your oversized Sprite or Fanta either, just because he looks dehydrated. He just needs that £10 note .

My favourite game providers are:

- Hacksaw (Le Bandit, Stack 'Em, Chaos Crew)
- Pragmatic (Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush)
- Relax Gaming (Mostly Book of Power and Net Gains) - This place is kind of a double feature with NLC, as I love Deadwood (original, not the new one).

It's super basic and generic; I know. But a special shoutout to Lucksome for Napoleon 2, lol.

Napoleon 2, Fatstack? Ewww!

Playing that game is like watching paint dry for hours. I definitely prefer the first one 10X over the sequel.

They’re all shite!

The truth! Every game is an asshole deep down.

For myself, online anyway, my heart will always belong to the 3Dice True/Odds classics, with Medieval Moolah being my favorite. They really just don't make 'em like that anymore. (Insert rant about old B&M slots being so much better than the 80% RTP overly-razzle-dazzled QLED 30' tall monstrosities that now occupy the majority of casino floor space in the world.)

As far as currently available games to me go, it's Thunderkick, NetEnt, and Microgaming, roughly in that order. I really only play the new generation of ultra-high-variance slots that rule the roost if there's a promotion involved. In fact I'm highly skeptical of any other vendors! But I'm grateful for this thread because I trust the taste of the people of this site more than that of your average streamer. I'm keeping an eye on this thread and will see if I happen to discover a game that gives a lovely first impression.

EDIT: Oh I do enjoy a few Play n' GO releases, The Catfather at highest RTP is iconic, but I've had some particularly bad times with their other slots and I'm leery of them out of pavlovian conditioning.

Haha brilliant! Gave me a few chuckles. Tbf I've stupidly rolled so much through Duel at Dawn that even I've started to adopt the tin-foil hat of "The game's changed" with regards to the 4 scatter bonus no longer getting to the 2nd stage and that the game is beyond rigged now.

And I've had too many big wins off of Nolimits to say I can't say that they aren't a good provider despite the fact I think their math models are starting to go downhill and that their betting options are just insane greediness (God mode for example is just insanity).

Now if I had included Pragmatic's in that list absolutely call me a mad man. That's a provider that frivolously uses CTRL+C and CTRL+V on a weekly basis with even worse betting options (Look at this insanely volatile super spins bonus you can't normally get that'll return you 5% of the purchase cost because well we're greedy tossers)

No Limit City is to online casinos as Konami is to land-based casinos for me: it seems like everyone has good winning stories from them, but they give me frostbite with how coldly they treat me.

*flashes new CM veteran badge* I don't know and would like to know. Endorphina is the only vendor I've seen listed so far that is available to me that I haven't really given a chance. What's good? I can make it worth your while...

[johnnymcc1966]

1. Big Time Gaming. Simply because their games haven't been nerfed...yet,on most UK sites.
2. Hacksaw. Can only play these games occasionally due to endless dead spins but when you hit a bonus you can hit big. Only RTP nerfed at some casinos but not everywhere yet.
3. Pragmatic. They are the new Net Ent,but with wholesale nerfed RTP. They can still pay but choose your sites and games carefully.

Notable mention to Blueprint who are steady performers, but I notice some glitches with their games as they seem a bit slow and buggy. Especially Diamond Mine original at Lottomart,which has run like this for a long while.

 

[L&L-Jan]

WMS (pre-L&W)

+1 - games are too american now a days.

They're just fun slots to play and are medium to high volitilty. You can also get good play time for your money.

My favorite game made by Endorphina that I keep coming back to almost every session is "In Jazz".
I'll link it so you can check it out. The link takes you to their direct website.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

P.S. nice to see you still alive and kicking. I remember you from when I first started posting in CM.

 

[conker]

Endorphina certainly getting a bit of attention in this thread. It is good to see a developer, that isn't always talked about, get some kudos.

 

[deanparkr]

1. Elk Studios. The slots are the most creative and fun IMO and play well on UK rules. Slots have nice timing and rhythm and on a technical level play great on mobile and don't suck battery life.

2. No Limit City. For creativity and genuine high payout possibility.

3. Pragmatic Play. Nice slots. Just a bit rubbish on mobile and battery life. Nice mix of games.
