When you think of tech firms and game-making studios in the world of online gambling, then you might be reasonably led to think of companies based in Europe and America. However, the modern online world is one that allows everyone to participate, regardless of their geographical location. And that is no better exemplified than by Probability Games, an up and coming software company who hail from Delhi in India.
The company boasts a young and vibrant team of talented individuals, promising a solid range of services to their casino clients and the playing public at large. This game-making service begins with the core maths that give the games their integral randomness, and it extends to creating exciting bonus features and developing mobile phone apps to ensure complete multi-platform playability.
Founded in 2011, Probability Games can't quite be classed as a brand spanking new name in the industry. Although, having said that, the software company is far from making any huge splashes in the online and mobile slot machine industry, remaining relatively unknown to the vast majority of punters on the web. This may be down to the fact that the company is fairly out of the way in geographical terms, meaning that it might take them some time to make any meaningful in roads into the mainstream European market.
Nonetheless, with the quality of the games on show (which we will talk about later) there is no reason why this Indian based game-studio cannot compete with other game-making firms from Europe of a similar size. Currently, you are far more likely to find Play'n GO slots, or 888 slots at the biggest sites, but things can change rapidly.

Probability Games have actually been able to secure some decent casino clients, most notably with a range of new mobile casinos that are run by one of the world's largest online lottery systems, GTECH. If you haven't heard of GTECH, then you should probably be aware that the Italian gambling giants recently bought out the veteran American slot machine maker IGT in a deal that was in excess of $6 billion. So, with that in mind, it's not a small feat for Probability to be recognised as worthy slot machine suppliers for mobile casino such as LadyLucks Casino, Moobile Casino, Touch My Bingo and Elite Mobile Casino.
So what exactly does Probability Games offer to its casino clients and to the spinners of the world? Well, for a start, the software firm aims to provide a complete end to end development service, starting from the mathematics behind the games to ensure that every spin is fair to the player and in line with the regulations of worldwide licensing organisations.
That is followed by the design and development of graphics, sound and bonus features to give each game an individual identity, making sure that players are entertained, even when they are not winning.
And finally, the service is finished by offering an integration process that allows the games to be ported into multiple platforms, that way players will be able to enjoy them through a variety of different devices such as mobile phones, tablets and good old fashioned desktop computers.
Probability Games also provide its clients with customised open-source CMS (Central Management System) website design. This essentially allows the tech firm to develop customised casino websites at a quick turnover and at a low-cost. Through this CMS, casino owners can then adapt certain aspects of the website to their own specification, allowing them to effectively target new players and connect better with their existing users.
Now that you know how Probability software works behind the scenes, we're sure that you are keen to find out more about the main attraction – the slot machine games themselves. Well, one of the most notable features of the games offered by Probability is the variety in gameplay styles, because the video slots that have been developed by the company's game studio come in all shapes and sizes, literally.
There are slot machines which have up to 100 paylines, while other titles offer all-ways win gameplay with 243, 720 and 1024 different ways to find a winning prize with each and every spin. Plus, the software company doesn't limit its video slots the standard 5x3 or 5x4 reel grids, presenting some of its games in unconventional shapes such as the triangular pyramid shaped reels of The Mirage, an Ancient Egyptian theme game with some stunning animated graphics.
In terms of themes, the game maker boasts the same level of variety as it does in the gameplay department. Take Sliding Magic, for example, a glamorous magic show themed slot machine with an utterly unique feature in which a 5x3 window slides around a larger 7x5 reel grid, ensuring that every spin offers a surprise that might just conjure up some big winning prizes. Then there is UFO, a galactic science fiction adventure that has reels which rotate in a circular motion for even more strange and exciting gameplay. And if you just want some conventional video slot action, then you can try out games such as The Warrior Goddess, a 5-reel slot machine with 40 paylines and 7 different free game options to make sure that every bonus game is fun and interesting play.
Other video slots which deliver some more standard themes and gameplay include Pirates of Chance, Fizz Factory and Pots o' Plenty, all of which have 5 reels and 50 paylines for spinners to line up those all important winning icons. If you fancy trying out a theme that isn't quite as universally popular as swashbuckling pirates and lucky leprechauns, then you can try out a few uniquely conceived video slots such as the action packed War Zone and the six-pack packed The Only Way is Slots, the latter of which is based on the glitz and glam of reality television.
For all of the variation that this software provider serves up in its portfolio of video slots, there is a significant lack of any truly classic 3-reel slot machines. Having said that, there is one 5-reel game that offers some pub fruity style gameplay with timelessly classic fruit symbols, BAR icons, and Lucky 7s that trigger free spins with a 2x multiplier.
Just as the games in Probability Games' catalogue vary in playing style and theme, the games also present a considerable difference in the the quality of the graphics. Therefore, some slots do appear to be more well put together than others, with games like Pirates of Chance appearing a little bit rudimentary due to the simple nature of the two-dimensional cartoon artwork.
That said, the vast majority of games are designed to a perfectly high standard, using all of the game screen to draw out the various themes to great success. War Zone, for example, places the player deep into the heart of the action by replicating popular video games such as Call of Duty: Infinity Warfare. Fizz Factory, on the other hand, is a much more bright, vibrant and colourful affair with various sweet icons and bubbly animated cartoon action.
Probability Games may not be one of the most recognisable names in the list of up and coming software providers, but the Indian online casino games company sure has the potential to break into the mainstream market thanks to its varied collection of video slot machines. In fact, players can currently enjoy a selection of the games designed by the company at a number of licensed mobile casinos as powered by GTECH industries, something which is no small feat for such a relatively unheard of game studio.
