Games
GIG released its first casino slot in 2017 and had a relatively small collection at online gaming sites. The company said it intended to launch between six and eight new games annually, potentially growing the selection over time. Titles named in the account include:
- Wild Reels
- Popstar
- Fruit Slot
GIG slots are generally described as high variance, with a Return to Player of about 97%. Some players have called them variations on classic slot games that lack a distinctive identity. It is unclear whether later Gaming Innovation Group releases will take the same approach. Few details about upcoming games were available, leaving future developments an open question.
Sports Betting
GIG Sports is described as a “fully hosted and managed sportsbook solution(s), delivering a seamless omni-channel betting experience tailored for offline and/or online channels.” GIG also announced a partnership with Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos to introduce sports wagering at land-based casinos in Iowa, USA.
Operators can tailor GIG’s sportsbook to suit the experience they want to provide. The product can integrate with other GIG online gaming services or operate as a standalone offering.
GIG promotes its sportsbook but provides few details about which sports or games are available to bet on. Reviews by people who said they had used GIG Sports mention low betting limits and relatively fast withdrawals.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- The available account places GIG slots’ RTP somewhat above the industry average.
- Its classic-style slots are described as easy for beginners to learn.
- GIG developers planned to release several new titles each year.
Cons
- The collection is small, and its available slots are said to have only basic features.
- Only a few online casinos reportedly offer GIG games.
- The source provides no details about which sports or games are available for wagering.
- Sports wagering is described as being offered mainly at land-based casinos.
Conclusion
Gaming Innovation Group is described as a casino software supplier for online gaming operators. Although relatively new at the time of the review, its games were listed at top casinos such as Thrills Casino, Guts Casino and Rizk Casino. Its range was limited, with titles described as having basic themes and graphics. Casino Ideal suggested that players might come across GIG slots less often than games from NextGen or Playtech, and might not seek them out. A larger collection could make a difference as the company grows and releases more titles.
The account named guts.com and superlenney.com as online wagering sites that sometimes featured GIG’s sportsbook. Players unable to access those sites might instead need to visit a land-based casino, such as Hard Rock Café, which had partnered with Gaming Innovation Group. GIG was also described as operating in New Jersey and other American states, potentially giving some U.S. players access to its sportsbook where its casino games were unavailable.
