If you are considering starting a new iGaming business and want to launch your own fully licensed and regulated online casino website, video slots, which are also commonly referred to as online slot machines or online slots, are extremely important to have, along with the classic favourites, such as roulette, blackjack, craps, blackjack, and poker.
With that said, here are five proven-performing video slots every iGaming business operator should consider adding to their libraries, all of which have been developed by a handful of market-leading, multi-award-winning online casino software providers/game development studios.
What makes online slots more popular than others?
For an iGaming operator to be successful, they need to have games that resonate with a broad audience. More importantly, the games that you choose to add to your site must be made by top-tier providers with excellent standing in the industry.
When players are looking to play video slots online, you want them to choose your site because it has the biggest and best library filled with the hottest titles.
When choosing which online casino software providers to partner up with, there are many things to consider, such as which licensing and regulatory authorities and gaming commissions have issued those companies with licenses, where they are legally permitted to operate, and how well-established they are.
For example, it’s best to stick with the top-tier providers with extensive gaming catalogues that can seamlessly be incorporated into your platform.
Online slots from multi-award-winning companies will be frequently tested by one or more internationally accredited online casino testing agencies, such as eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance), iTechLabs, Technical Systems Testing (TST) or Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), to name just three.
The best online slot machines brought to you by a handful of trusted providers, such as Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil Gaming, Games Global/Microgaming, Relax Gaming, Quickspin, Playtech, Wazdan, Betsoft, Red Tiger, BGaming, Skywind Group, Hacksaw Gaming, StakeLogic, Iron Dog Studio, G Games, Playson, and Spinomenal, to name a few.
Their slots have high or above-average return-to-player (RTP%) payout rates that are typically anywhere from 93.00% to 98.00% or higher.
They also have wide betting ranges (often playable in the real money AND free-play demo mode from as little as $/€/£0.10 up to $/€/£20.00 or more per spin). They will have either huge ‘fixed coin’ jackpots worth 500x to 50,000x or more times the total stake or progressive jackpots that climb well into the millions before being won.
Top-tier providers have developed many of the industry’s most popular titles. They have a range of game themes/genres that are cleverly designed to appeal to a wide audience.
Their computer-generated slots have fun in-play features, immersive storylines, likeable characters, free spins bonuses, responsive player controls, sharp graphics and fun animated sequences, and great accompanying background audio/sound effects.
They also load fast in most web browsers and run smoothly using any decent-working PC desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
