The change enabled the company to increase production, and its catalogue has since expanded by well over 100 titles beyond the 6 games it had previously created.
Later award nominations for the studio included:
- Super Graphics Upside Down was nominated for the 2013 EGR B2B ‘Game of the Year’ Award
- Black Ice was nominated for the 2018 EGR B2B ‘Game of the Year’ Award
Over the years, Realistic Games has partnered with prominent iGaming brands, many of them operating in the UK market. These included Paddy Power, William Hill, Gala Coral, Gala Bingo, Betfair, GVC and Bet Fred.
In 2014, Realistic Gaming received licences from the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission) and the GLA (Gibraltar Licensing Authority). Three years later, the company was among the first to obtain a UKGC B2B Game Host License. It also uses independent testing organisations, including GLI, SQS and eCOGRA, to certify games for fairness and randomness.
