A Brief Overview of the Top 3 Casino Software Developers

The gambling sector remains one of the fastest growing and remunerative on the globe. For example, in Canada alone, it is estimated to provide $15.5 billion in revenue annually. This impressive figure comes as no surprise considering the fact that about 76% of Canadians take part in gambling activities of various varieties. In Canada's southern neighbor, the United States, gambling activities were estimated at $161 billion.

One result of this continuous growth is the rapid increase in the number of betting websites in order to cater to gambling enthusiasts. Casino software developers are also another kind of establishment which has rapidly increased in number, particularly since the launch of the first betting website in 1994.

We examine the top 3 casino developers which cater to Canadian betting websites, are synonymous with games of excellent quality and which are also responsible for some of the most successful titles ever introduced to fans.

Microgaming
