Pragmatic Play Software Provider Review

Founded in 2015, Pragmatic Play has already dramatically impacted the online gaming industry.

Pragmatic Play games include slots, bingo, live dealer games, as well as sports betting and virtual table games. They even produce “instant win” style online scratch cards based on their popular slot titles. A truly multinational firm, Pragmatic Play has business offices in Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, and Malta, with satellite offices in Sofia, Riga, Noida, London, Kyiv, Hyderabad, Cardiff, Buenos Aires, Bucharest, and Belgrade. 

  

The Hottest Video Slots

It’s no secret that video slots are a huge part of any online casino’s business, and Pragmatic Play has been busy pumping out some extremely popular slots over the years. A few of their more recent offerings include the springtime-themed Rabbit Garden and Jasmine Dreams which is set in Arabia during the middle ages. As for their older slots, one of their most popular titles was the game Cleocatra, which as you might imagine from the title is an Egyptian-themed game that anthropomorphizes cats. Cats were viewed as sacred and honored creatures in ancient Egypt. Another classic slot from Pragmatic Play was Sugar Rush, a mouth-watering 7x7 video slot that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of sweet tooths.

Pragmatic Play produces a huge volume of different online slots. In March of 2023, they came out with six different slot titles, on par with their usual level of productivity. They manage at such an incredible pace because they have a huge workforce totaling thousands of employees across a dozen different countries.

  

A Leader in Live Dealer Games

Pragmatic Play operators a variety of live dealer games out of their studio in Bucharest Romania which was opened in 2019. While they may not be the industry behemoth that Evolution Gaming is, their modest, boutique live dealer offerings are still very popular in many online casinos. And they do have an excellent selection of live dealer games, including:

• PowerUP Roulette
• Boom City
• Sweet Bonanza CandyLand
• Andar Bahar
• Dragon Tiger Baccarat
• One Blackjack
• Mega Roulette
• Mega Wheel
• Roulette
• Blackjack
• Mega Sic Bo
• Baccarat
• Auto-Roulette
• Speed Roulette
• French, Italian, German, and Russian Roulette

Their substantial catalog of live dealer games provides an excellent selection of choices for their consumers. In addition, their games are available in 28 different languages, to ensure that players from around the world can enjoy a local and authentic experience. They use state-of-the-art production technology to ensure that the video delivery is as high resolution and top quality as possible and incorporate a variety of promotional offerings and marketing tools into their games, in order to build brand loyalty and assist in consumer acquisition and retention. 

Their dealers are highly trained and professional, and they use multiple 4k quality cameras to provide an authentic, immersive experience which is just like going to a real casino without leaving the comfort of your living room.

Their games are built using an angular front-end interface and the highly scalable HTML 5 technology, allowing for true cross-platform compatibility and support for both desktop and mobile device play.

  

Licensed and Regulated

Pragmatic Play is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, ONIN Romania, and the Government of Gibraltar. Their products have been certified and licensed in more than twenty different regions and their games have been translated into more than thirty different countries. They are truly a company with a global reach. In addition, their products have undergone third-party audits by Gambling Labs to ensure the integrity of their random number generation process as well as to test the accuracy of the stated RTP of their games.

  

An Award Winning Company

Pragmatic Play has won a number of prestigious industry awards. In 2021, they were awarded iGaming Supplier of the Year, by Gaming Intelligence Awards Latin America. At the same event, they also received the title of Game of the Year for their popular slot Gates of Olympus, set in the world of Greek mythology. Then in 2022, they won awards at CGS LatAm in Santiago, Chile for Best Content Provider in Latin America and Best Gaming Executive in Latin America. The Best Gaming Executive title went to Victor Arias, who had overseen Pragmatic Play’s rapid expansion into the blossoming Latin American iGaming market.  

  

Expanding Into LATAM

In March of 2023, Pragmatic Play’s games went live in Colombia following a deal with the online casino FullReto. Fullreto was granted a license to operate in Colombia in 2019. Colombia essentially banned online gambling in 2016, causing most online casino operators to stop serving customers in that region, but has been steadily working to create a legal and regulated framework within which online casino operators can function.

This isn’t Pragmatic Play’s first foray into the Latin American market. In Feb of 2023, they signed a deal with SA Esportes, a Brazilian operator, to provide their customers with Pragmatic Play’s video slots and live dealer games. Also in Feb of 2023, they struck a deal with a Venezuelan online casino company named Trick and Races.

Latin America, with a collective GDP of some 5.5 trillion $ USD, represents a substantial chunk of the global economy. It is also the world’s fastest-growing market for online gambling. Brazil, the largest and most prosperous nation in Latin America, has almost entirely banned brick-and-mortar gambling activities, creating a massive untapped market for online casino operators. And with strong economic growth and a rapidly increasing middle class, Latin American citizens have more disposable income available for gambling than ever before. At the same time, firms like Pragmatic Play can use their experience dealing with regulated European markets to overcome regulatory obstacles imposed in the global South, such as those enacted by Colombia.

  

Conclusion

Pragmatic Play is definitely an online software provider that is on the rise. They are producing a tremendous volume of video slots on a monthly basis, averaging about seven or eight, and have also been pushing the envelope when it comes to their live dealer offerings. Their creativity and drive are something that other firms should seek to emulate. Furthermore, their expansion into Latin America has them nicely positioned for incredible growth throughout the next decade and shows that they truly are a forward-thinking company that is hungry to expand and grow. 

As to the quality of their games, there is no question that they are producing some excellent titles which are fun and engaging, offering tremendous value to the end user. 

Overall, we are very impressed with the efforts of this company. In a relatively short period of time, they have already managed to make a pretty big name for themselves, and we expect to see big things from them in the future.
