As we’ve been saying, Scientific Games releases a lot of different products over the year. One of its latest hits, for example, have been the Willy Wonka land-based slots that proved instant favorites with casino goers. Indeed, a lot of what SG produces is for land-based casinos and for physical betting outlets.
But that’s where its subsidiary purchases come in. Between the three of them, Bally Technologies, Barcrest and WMS Games are responsible for a lot of slots released throughout the year. Online slots, that is. Each of these companies create unique games which are enjoyed by players all around the world.
SG Games is also known for making table games aside from lottery and slots products through another one of its companies, Shuffle Master. However – once again – these are land-based and not online. So, while you’ll probably spot them if you ever go on a roadtrip of Canadian casinos, they’re not in online casinos.
Bally Technologies
Bally Tech was actually founded in 1968, so it’s older than Scientific Games itself. Known for producing both wide network progressive jackpot slots, land-based slots and online slots. Its main focus remains to this day on land-based slots. But it has made some pretty interesting slots over the years.
Some of the Bally Tech samples include the famous ‘Pawn Stars’ slot. It was originally a machine, but it was one of the few that made the transition into online as well. Others also include titles like King of Pop and Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ from the Michael Jackson series of machines. Bally has made a few slots specifically for online purpose though – like Cash Wizard, Lady Robin Hood and Tiger Treasures.
Barcrest
Barcrest also has a lot of popular titles under its belt. They’re not the best looking slots you’ll ever play, not by a long shot. But these slots are still goodies in a different way. They have good payout systems.
Barcrest slots include Dr. Jekyll Goes Wild, Emperors Gold, Boulder Bucks, Merry Money, Cash Stax and Action Bank. They deserve a spin round the reels, just to get a feel for how they work.
WMS Games
Out of these three smaller companies, WMS Games is by far the most well known in the online casino world. It’s also the one that releases most slots throughout the year. Some of the most popular slots it’s recently released are the Bruce Lee slot, which honors the great martial artist. There’s also Alice and the Mad Party, Amazon Queen, Cool Jewels, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (the one and only), Kronos and Zeus.
As you can see from the names alone, WMS has a lot of diversity going on. Whether it’s Ancient Grecian myths, popular branded films or just after famous people – WMS slots will keep you entertained for a good long while.
