The rise of online gambling has seen growing demand for free pokies software developers, as well as for real cash casinos. In order to meet this demand, we’ve compiled a list of the best pokies software providers around. You’ll find plenty of options to choose from, and each one offers something unique that sets them apart from its competitors.

We hope our review will help you make an informed decision when choosing a casino software provider. If you’re looking for a particular feature or want more information on how to choose between various pokies suppliers, read on.

Playtech

Playtech is probably one of the most successful gaming companies in history. Founded in 1985 by Peter Jones, Playtech was first focused on developing card games. Over time it turned into a leading manufacturer of slots. Today they are also known for their progressive jackpot machines, slot tournaments and live dealer tables. And, now it has some really cool slots that you can try out for free as well.

Microgaming

You may have heard about Microgaming – they’re one of the biggest names in the industry. They were founded in 1994, and since then they have released many popular titles including Black Diamond, Jack Hammer, Aloha! Cluster Pays, Cleopatra’s Gold and much more. Their latest release includes new features like free spins, random wilds, multipliers and a stacked bonus round.

Netent

If you’re already familiar with Net Entertainment (Nasdaq: NTEN), the world leader in free pokies, you know what they do. With over 3 decades under their belt creating free slots games, you can be sure that they will always strive to create a great atmosphere for players and offer them loads of fun. It’s quite possible that Net Entertainment might soon overtake Microgaming, but until then, they remain a strong force behind the scenes.

Rival Gaming

With over 20 years of experience, Rival Gaming (NASDAQ: RVLT) provides an excellent variety of free pokies for players to enjoy. Some of their popular releases include Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe, King Kong Triple Pack, I Love Vegas II, Jurassic World 2 Ultimate Edition and so many others. Rival recently expanded its portfolio by adding Marvel Superheroes Slot Machine to the complete lineup.

Betsoft

BetSoft is based in Malta, which makes sense considering the island nation is renowned for having some of the best casinos across Europe. However, BetSoft is not just another casino company and has developed a reputation as a developer to go to if you want to play premium quality free slots. This is because many of the free slots games available here come straight off the development team at Slotozilla.

NextGen Gaming

NGB started life as Next Generation Technologies back in 1996. Since then, their main focus has been to develop games for both PC and mobile platforms using cutting-edge technology. From there came their own proprietary platform called “nextgen” which quickly became the gaming industry standard. Nowadays, NextGen develops for all major platforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, HTML5, Facebook and even Mac OS X.

Mr Slotty

MrSlotty is a relatively new name in the pokies business. When we asked around, no one seemed to be able to give us a good reason why this company had decided to get into the fray of pokies, but we do like the fact that it has opted not to charge a monthly fee. You won’t find any signup fees or anything like that, instead, you’ll see a simple homepage offering users 50 free spins at Spinroom.

SpinRoom

SpinRoom has a very slick website with a lot of useful tools allowing you to compare free pokies from different providers, check out a list of recommended pokies for each game type and view rankings for top-rated online casinos. There’s also a handy search function making it easy to find your preferred provider if you don’t want to browse through the whole site. Another great feature is a ‘daily deal’ where you receive 10% cashback on every deposit made!

Yggdrasil

We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered Yggdrasil, which bills itself as “the premier supplier of free slot machine games”. We’d never heard of them before, but after checking out their website, we could definitely see why people are saying nice things about them. They certainly have plenty of free pokies available, including classics such as Cleopatra, Rainbow Riches, Fruit Zen, Wild West, Starburst, Reel Rush and Gonzo’s Quest. And while most of these are fairly basic titles, Yggdrasil does offer a few more advanced games too.

Wazdan

This little casino hasn’t got much going for it yet, apart from the fact that they’re providing us with access to free pokies. However, Wazdan still manages to stand out amongst the crowd thanks to its unique design. It looks like a futuristic cityscape complete with neon lights, bright colours and beautiful women. All this comes courtesy of designer Thomas Thwaite, who is responsible for the look and feel of several other impressive-looking sites including Paddy Power Poker and Guts Casino.
