Casinos By Software Provider

All the best UK online casinos tend to licence in their games platform from one of a handfull of highly reputable companies. Typically, these are Wagerworks (owned by IGT), Microgaming, Playtech and when it comes specifically to slot machines, Novomatic, WMS and Barcrest are also well-known licencees. As a result, you will often see the same games at many casinos.

For the player, there is an advantage to this in that these software providers have TST certificates for all their games, meaning they have been tested to be properly random and fair. A few casinos create their own casino games but unless you know - and trust - the brand or you know the games are fair, I would steer clear and play it safe. There are plenty of great online casinos to choose from who use these main casino software platforms, as you will see from looking around Online Casino UK or at the UK Casino List which lists them all.

In this section of the site I have highlighted the best UK online casinos using the casino software providers I mention above: choose a link from the list below to explore. Additionally, I have created a page highlighting the best casinos where you don't have to download any software - that you can play in tour web browser. I have termed these Flash Casinos because they use a technology called Flash (Adobe) that most PC's and some Apple Macs have already installed.

As a rule, a Flash casino will have less games choice than a download casino but is quicker to set up and get playing on. All Flash Instant Play casinos have the classic games you find in every casino though, along with a good choice of slots machines and some video poker games. I tend to play Flash casinos more than download casinos myself just because it's quicker.
