But these games we play at our favourite online casinos don’t just pop out of the ether; they’re made by dozens of excellent game developers. These game devs work hard to innovate the world of casino gaming and bring us new original games to wager on. We’ve picked out and spotlighted our favourite casino software producers from 2023. If you find a game made by one of these, you know you’re in for a good time. Here are the top 10 best casino software providers in 2023: Games Global NetEnt Playtech Evolution Gaming Pragmatic Play Yggdrasil Gaming ELK Studios Quickspin Play’N GO Hacksaw Gaming Games Global Games Global is the company established to manage the selection of games and developers under the Microgaming umbrella. Microgaming has been a prominent name in the iGaming industry since its founding in 1994, and in 2022, it handed off its library with more than 1000 games to Games Global. The Games Global gaming library has some of the most popular casino game titles of all time, including Immortal Romance, 9 Masks of Fire and Mega Moolah. NetEnt NetEnt is one of the oldest game developers on the market. Founded in 1996, it has since added more than 200 games to its library, which have found worldwide popularity. NetEnt has helped to shape the world of iGaming as a whole, even being the first developer to add ‘cascading reels’ to a slot game, which is now a staple of the form. Some of its top titles are Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, and Divine Fortune. Playtech Playtech is another big player in the industry, operating since 1999 and known for its high-quality, cross-platform focused games. Playtech has produced all sorts of games over the years, including slots, table games, bingo, betting software and even some live dealer titles. Among its standout titles are Age of the Gods, Gladiator, and Buffalo Blitz. Evolution Gaming Evolution Gaming is a notable development company because it specialises in live dealer games. These games live stream a real dealer that players can interact with through the game software. It brings a bit of the action from live gambling back to online gaming. They also provide a unique range of live game show titles and first-person casino experiences. Pragmatic Play Founded in 2015, Pragmatic Play has been a trailblazer for the short amount of time it's been on the market. They produce exciting, modern games and are producing games for all corners of the iGaming world. Check out its top titles like Big Bass Bonanza, Might of Ra and Spaceman. Yggdrasil Gaming Yggdrasil Gaming is another favourite of the iGaming industry, featuring a library of games with innovative and engaging mechanics for the optimum player experience.

ELK Studios ELK Studios is a Swedish software provider that focuses on the use of complex mathematics and algorithms to bring a new level of excitement and randomness to its games.

Since launching in 2011, Quickspin has continued to innovate, bringing fun and good-looking games to all of our favourite casinos. Its most popular games include Big Bad Wolf, Sakura Fortune, and Sticky Bandits. Play’N GO Play’N GO was founded to answer what was, at the time, a gap in the market: mobile gaming. It was still early days, but the potential for gaming on the go was on the verge of taking off, and Play’N GO was there at ground zero. Its library specialises in being mobile-first, developed to work perfectly on mobile devices as well as desktops. The best titles in its library include Book of Dead, Moon Princess and Reactoonz. Hacksaw Gaming Hacksaw is the youngest studio on our list but has already gone far to establish itself as a big player. Its library is small but full of top-tier games that pack a punch. Its top games include titles like Rotten, Itero and Toshi Video Club. The online casino software providers mentioned above are just a few of the many out there. So many of them are excellent, and you never know when you’re going to find your next favourite developer. But with these top ten, you’ll know you’re in for a good time when you find a game from one of them. Why are casino software providers important? Most online casinos host games instead of making them, and without the fantastic developers out there, we wouldn’t have such a steady stream of excellent games to wager on. Not only this, but developers provide the very software casino websites run on, supporting our favourite table games, bingo and scratchcards too. When you find a game that sucks you in, you have the development team behind it to thank. Keeping an eye on developers you like can help you consistently find games that speak to you. Not to mention that you can trust high-quality studios to be fair and run on true RNG.

News ReleaseMicrosoft Shareholder Seeks Accountability for Transgender Policies; Opposes Reid Hoffman for Board
NLPC
At the annual meeting for Microsoft Corporation on Thursday, National Legal and Policy Center will present a shareholder proposal that demands the company deliver an analysis of potential discrimination in the insurance coverage it offers employees, as it pertains to gender. Specifically, NLPC has identified coverage for so-called “transgender” staffers who desire to switch from their birth sex. Meanwhile the tech giant – otherwise generous in its benefits coverage, which includes paying for women to travel out of their home states to get abortions, if it’s unlawful where they live – has no provisions in its health plans for those who rue their life-altering “transition” decisions. In support of the proposal, NLPC also filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which explains in greater detail the reasons why shareholders should support its resolution for the Microsoft meeting, which is Proposal 5 on the company’s proxy statement. As the nonprofit shareholder reports, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission prohibits discrimination “in the payment of wages or employee benefits” based on gender, and thus Microsoft’s failure to accommodate de-transitioning workers is clearly biased and inequitable treatment. “A ‘de-transitioner’ fits into Dept. of Labor- and EEOC-protected categories of prohibited discrimination, which include ‘sex’ – expressly incorporating ‘gender identity’ and ‘sexual orientation,’” NLPC reported. “Arguably, for a ‘de-transitioner,’ the protected categories of ‘disability’ and/or ‘genetic information’ could also be cited as possible bases for discrimination.” “While Microsoft boasts about its perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign for capitulating to their radical LGBT agenda, those who are permanently scarred as a consequence of their policies have nowhere to turn for help,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. As NLPC’s proposal states, many regretful transitioners are harmed with “various long-lasting side effects like chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, unwanted hair loss and hair gain, menstrual irregularities, urinary problems, and other complications. Rather than resolve mental health problems, such ‘gender affirming’ care instead often exacerbates them.” NLPC also notes how sufferers are becoming increasingly litigious, which could present material risk to Microsoft shareholders, as noted in the proxy memo to the SEC: Michelle Zacchigna had her uterus and breasts removed, and is suing the eight providers who treated her over their “recklessness.” “Distress related to my gender was treated to the exclusion of other serious mental health issues which went undiagnosed for years. Blind affirmation of my stated identity closed the door to alternative treatment options. What happened to me should never happen again.” Those who desire to “de-transition” cannot find needed treatment, whether from providers or insurance companies… Prisha Mosley said every primary care physician, endocrinologist, obstetrician, and gynecologist she’s approached on her insurance list has turned her away or said they can’t help. “I could call and be rejected every single day.” Chloe Cole said, “I reached out to every physician, every therapist who is involved with this, and I haven’t really gotten any help at all.” Cat Cattinson said, “Because of the experimental nature of gender medicine, doctors know very little about the long-term effects of medical transition and even less about the health-care needs of those who de-transition.” “Microsoft is not only vulnerable legally and financially because it fails to cover care for de-transitioners,” Chesser said, “but also because the company’s stated policies affirm it is possible to change one’s gender. If a judge and jury were to decide the company lied and convinced an employee into undergoing chemical or surgical castration, that is a material risk that Microsoft must disclose in its 10-K annual report to shareholders.” In addition to its shareholder proposal, NLPC also filed another proxy memo with the SEC to oppose the re-election of LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman for Microsoft’s board of directors. The move follows a letter that Chesser sent to Microsoft’s board in October, which asked for the removal of the tech billionaire from the board, due to his hyper-partisan political activities and his connections to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
