Ash Gaming

Dedicated slots fans are sure to be familiar with legendary developers such as IGT and Playtech, as these companies are responsible for a large number of the games adorning virtual and land-based casinos.

There are, however, several firms currently turning out games of equal quality, even though their company names aren't quite as famous. One of these is Ash Gaming, and this article is dedicated to discussing their line of original and innovative virtual slot machines.

Ash Gaming Company Info

Ash Gaming debuted in 2002, and they quickly established a reputation within the online casino industry by offering custom products to their clients. Their slots soon became known for one-of-a-kind bonuses, frequent payouts, impressive graphics, and storylines that pushed the boundaries of the medium. In addition, Ash developed their own versions of instant win, poker, and table games.

It wasn't long before Ash Gaming was also making licensed products, and these ranged from the mainstream (The X Factor) to the downright subversive (The Life of Brian). Coupled with their expanding catalogue of original games, the UK-based company was poised to become a growing player in the industry.

Their attention to detail and rapid expansion did not go unnoticed by competitors. Ash Gaming's web-based Flash products had developed a loyal fanbase, and in 2011 they received an offer they couldn't refuse. Industry giant Playtech proposed a $30 million buyout, while at the same time promising to keep the core development team in place.

That brings us to the present. Ash Gaming continues to do what it does best, but now they're able to draw upon the support and resources of one of the biggest names in the online casino business.
