Casino operators looking for some dream games to add to their portfolios should perhaps take a look at Dream Tech, a Philippines-based developer that’s only been around since 2016 but has already released a decent selection of highly stylish slots. As well as a core range, they will produce games to order and can develop any title to work across multiple formats such as desktop, Apple, Android or Windows mobiles and tablets. Innovative features such as the ability to play in multiplayer modes, visible player rankings and the chance for spinners to add their own lucky numbers to a game, make this range something of a unique offering.
They headline their site with the unusual tagline ‘Oriental Style Childhood Dreams’, which seems to mean that the range has a distinct Asian theme, and the cartoon-ish graphics that some feature will remind players of comics and old TV shows. It’s probably not the best bit of marketing that we’ve ever seen, although maybe something was lost in the translation. Many of their games come with more sophisticated graphics, while all of them have some sort of bonus features, such as wild symbols, free games, symbol transformations and multiplier payouts among others.
The dedicated team at Dream Tech consists of artists, designers, mathematicians and coding specialists who have worked together to craft their range. The company welcomes feedback from operators and players and has used the knowledge gained over the last couple of years to fine-tune their slots until they match the tastes of the local market. Currently, the Dream Tech range is mostly found across Asia, but things can always change and before you know it, players from Europe and beyond could be enjoying their collection at the best online casino sites.
Let’s take a closer look at some Dream Tech slot games and see if they bring back childhood memories, while meeting the demanding requirements of players from across the region.

If it’s cartoon style that you’re looking for, then Meng Pets Nest is a good place to start, as it’s filled with super-cute cats and dogs, all set against the backdrop of a giant doghouse in a garden. Animated trees sway gently to the sides of the 5 reels, and there’s various items such as a toy duck, balls and food bowls dotted around, which are actually the control buttons. It’s a clever design touch and the game comes with some equally well thought out bonus rounds and features.
At the beginning of each spin, a random symbol will be selected to become a stacked symbol, which can fill any reel, or even all 5 for some great payouts. There’s a free spins bonus round where players can choose which symbols they want to be stacked, with the options varying from 5 bonus games with stacked wild symbols, or up to 15 free games where a middle-paying cat will be stacked.
At the other extreme, we have Zombie Strikes, which has the realistic graphics that console game players will be familiar with. It's a slot themed around horror and Halloween that hopefully won’t be reminding anyone of their childhood. The undead are wandering around the ruined streets of the city and players will want to land axes, hand grenades and guns to stop them in their shuffling tracks. Ammunition boxes are a scatter symbol, and once more, punters can select from several free games modes, choosing to have just 6 bonus spins where 38 extra wild symbols are on the reels, or up to 30 free spins where just 8 extra wilds are in play.
Somewhere in between these, are some typically Asian themed slot machines, such as Man Tang Hong, or Full Red House, which is set during some Chinese celebrations and features colourful drums, dragons, lanterns and firecrackers. This 5-reel, 30-line slot has red envelopes that pay random rewards of between 1x and 60x the triggering stake when any 3 or more land at once, while a free spins feature has expanding wild symbols to help turn the 10 extra games into winners.
Other Dream Tech slots have the Anime style that’s so well-known across Asia, while topics such as ancient Egypt, magical kingdoms and Christmas, which are so popular with punters across online casinos all have their own slots dedicated to them. It makes us wish that their range was available in more parts of the world, but currently they seem limited to slot players in Thailand, The Philippines, and other Asian markets.
All of these games can be relied upon to be fair, trusted, reliable and give honest returns, while each is produced under the terms of an operating license issued by the Philippines Entertainment and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). This authority continually monitors Dream Tech and other companies within the industry, ensuring that the reputation for high standards is maintained across the country.
Each game clearly states the expected return to player percentage which tends to be around 96%, making these slots a range that on average pays most of the money wagered on them back as winnings. It also gives punters a genuine chance to land some serious wins as they spin the reels. It compares well with games from other top developers, with EGT slots and Novomatic slots for example, having similar returns.
This is a solid, if not huge collection of slot games that can be accessed across multiple platforms and has been designed with great attention to the smallest details. The collection covers plenty of popular themes, and even a few unusual ones, such as sports in their Boxing Arena online slot, but they all come with their own bonus features and special rewards for players to claim.
Some of the more innovative developments, such as the Championship Event, where players can invite friends to compete against them in private tournaments, and the way that online casinos can show player rankings across the Dream Tech range, are particularly interesting.
There’s extensive back-office support for casinos that carry these games, with player history, results and even the option to run special promotions across the slots range. It all adds up to a collection that we would like to see extended to other regions, and available to play in more languages, as Dream Tech certainly have the technical and artistic ability to create games that would be very competitive in many countries around the world.
