What GAMING1 is about

GAMING1 is a casino software company based in St. Augustine, Malta, and Brussels, Belgium, and it was founded under the Circus name in 1992, when the two founders collaborated with the Belgian Bosquin family to build their first gaming facility in Liege.

They created a web agency before acquiring the famous Namur and Spa casinos, and then launched GAMING1 in 2011 to combine the synergies of technology development with gaming operations.

How successful has GAMING1 become?

The company now has online and land-based casinos in more than a half-dozen countries. The company has six clubs in France and sponsor Circus and JOA online.

Customers from Spain can play at one of two land-based and virtual gaming venues in Switzerland.

Over 1,000 people work for the firm currently, including roughly 300 in Liege.

Games and software available on GAMING1

The company offers a comprehensive casino solution that the operator may fully customize, so players will not realize it is a casino in a box.

Bonus management, content management systems, loyalty programs, slots tournaments, a live notification system, risk scoring and complete player monitoring are all available through GAMING1.

The system can offer approximately 1,000 games with the help of third-party suppliers and more than 150 of them being Gaming1 originals. There are also live casino and sports betting options. As part of a safe and secure gambling environment, responsible gambling tools are offered.

In some areas, loyalty points may be earned and redeemed in either online or offline establishments. All of their online games are instant-play and may be accessible in any web browsers.

The platform offers HTML5 games that have been fully developed and launched by GAMING1.

When the company gave their portfolio to NYX for distribution on the OGS platform to over 200 operators in 2017, the material first broke into the key markets.

Since then, many more game makers have decided to release their games on the GAMING1 platform, including Tom Horn, Booming Games and others.
