888 Gaming is a casino game developer that is also part of a giant company known as the 888 Holdings Public Limited. Licensed to operate in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and several American states, the developer is undoubtedly one of the top software providers in live casinos. The fact that it is listed on the London Stock Exchange speaks volumes about how respectable it is.
888 Gaming was founded in 1997 by two brothers, Shaked and Ben Yitzhak, in Antigua. It was launched the same year as Virtual Holdings Limited. Four years later (in 2002), the firm launched Reef Club Casino, as well as a multiplayer online poker game known as Pacific Poker. The following year saw 888 Gaming acquire a license in Gibraltar.
Growth and Products
After acquiring a Gibraltar license, 888 Gaming moved its headquarters from Antigua to Gibraltar. In 2008, the provider extended its presence to four main casino gaming sectors, including casino games, sports, poker, and bingo. Today, it is one of the most reputable casino game providers in the industry, supplying both RGN and live dealer games to hundreds of casinos, some of which are run by the company itself.
With a portfolio of over 200 titles, 888 Gaming is one of the giant game suppliers today (as of 2022). Some of its notable titles include Wild Gambler, Midas Millions, and Deal or No Deal. In terms of progressive jackpot slots, the thriller-based A Nightmare on Elm Street, the folklore-inspired Irish Riches, and the Egyptian-themed Rise of the Pharaohs stand out. Live dealer offers include roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Three Card Poker, and Caribbean Stud Poker.
Supported Languages
888 Gaming's games can be played in at least a dozen languages, including English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Russian, Portuguese, and German. The chances are that live game players will also find a croupier who can speak their native language.
