Who Do they Work With?

The modern iGaming software industry works on many different levels, and the success of any individual company depends on their ability to establish working partnerships with casino clients as well as other software companies. As such, 2By2 Gaming don't just make their own games that are ready to be licensed for land-based, online or social platforms, but they also work to develop custom built games for their partner companies. They can even convert existing games so that they are able to be played at many sites, such as the newest online casinos, with Flash or on a mobile device with HTML5.

To date, the company has worked with the developers of Bally Technologies slots and Bluberi slots to bring their land-based games online. As for casino operators, 2By2 have a very strong client-base with hugely successful names like BetVictor, Unibet, William Hill, Stan James and Mr. Green.

Around the World in Slots

When it comes down to the 2by2gaming slot machines, one of the company's main objectives is to create a variety of games with a wide range of volatility levels so that spinners of all experience levels and betting preferences will find something to suit their needs. As such, you will find many 5-reelers with different payline quantities and bonus features to ensure that every spin offers something a little bit different.

Theme wise, the focus of this game developer is largely centred on producing slots that are based on generic geographical and historical themes. Take Riches of the Sea, for example, which is perhaps one of the best-known games from 2 By 2. This 20 payline adventure takes place in an aquatic kingdom with mermaids, beautiful sea life and even some scary shark icons where players can win up to 16 free spins and a 27 total bet multiplier.

And from the bottom of the ocean to the dryness of the desert with Secrets of the Tomb, a 30-payline slot which presents an array of 2D illustrated symbols from the Ancient Egyptian genre. Despite appearing quite basic to look at, this archaeological game has a narrative element which allows players to enter into a sacred tomb where they can pick random artefacts to reveal how many free spins they will win. During those spins, all wins will be doubled in size and a series of stacked mystery symbols will come into play.

Alternatively, players can experience a touch of the orient with Mandarin Fortune. Again, this game will offer up a different viewpoint to the world, this time showing the cultural wonders of modern Chinese lifestyle with symbols depicting images of Chinese dragons, lanterns and teapots. And if you want to go on a truly wild journey, then you can experience some safari themed spins with Legends of Africa which presents a unique game screen which has 5-reels and 30 paylines in a diamond formation.

Mythical Adventures

There are also some epic adventures to be spun into action with their Spell of Odin slot machine, a 5-reel game with 25 paylines. This Nordic themed slot is not only captivating to behold thanks to some excellent 2D artistic illustrations, but it is also quite exciting to play with stacked wild symbols and free spins with three different bonus options. The first of these options is to simply triple all wins during the bonus game or players can choose to increase the chance of retriggering more free spins. Alternatively, players can choose the last option which incorporates special stacked wilds, which will double or quadruple the value of line wins. Equally exciting in terms of mythical action but perhaps a bit warmer in geographical location is The Voyages of Sinbad which has 20 paylines.

Slots with a Story

If you like your video slot machines to provide a few thematic surprises, then it would be worth to check out the likes of Pinocchio's Fortune and Greener Pasteur – two 5-reel game which offer some unique narrative action. Pinocchio's Fortune, for example, revolves around the traditional Italian folk story of a wooden puppet who dreamt of one day becoming a real boy. This slot is naturally childish in appearance but it makes use of impressive 3D graphics and eye-catching animations. Plus, this game also remains faithful to the source material by serving up a special round of free spins in which the main character's nose will grow in size, and the bigger the nose, the bigger the bonus prize.

Greener Pasteur, on the other hand, tells the story of a mad scientist who is experimenting with some mysterious germs. Sounds a bit disgusting, but these germs play a central role in the bonus feature which randomly causes all germ symbols to transform into other icons to reward wild win, top paying symbol win, or simply bonus prize amounts. 2 By 2 also recently released a gunslinger spinning showdown in the form of Gunsmoke which is perfect for players who like the western genre.

One thing that 2 By 2 gaming doesn't have in their arsenal is a good range of classic 3-reel slot machines. In fact, the software company barely have any classically themed 5-reel games other than Crystal Gems. Even then, this slot can only really be deemed as classic for its minimal and universally appealing aesthetic.

Sticking to their Guns

2 By 2 Gaming is a software company which inhabits the middle ground of the slot machine world – not too adventurous but not too simple-minded when it comes to design and gameplay features. The company has a reasonably sized repertoire of games, all of which are fairly generic in theme and adequately stocked with some decent bonus elements such as stacked wilds, and free spins with special bonus options. However, it would be nice to see a game or two which take a risk by providing something that has never been done before. And, by the same token, the 2By2Gaming slots catalogue could use some simple 3-reel slots to complete the package. You can find out more about 2by2 here.
