Above is a detailed list of software companies in South Africa. The length of the list goes to show that choosing the best provider can get tricky. Of course, you can refer to our software reviews for more details.
We’ve also helped you out by singling out the best gaming suppliers.
Playtech isn’t as widespread as some of the others but it’s a SA market leader. In fact, many established brands are Playtech sites, such as bet365, Betfair and Unibet.
Playtech casinos are considered somewhat of a special strain. You may already know that most of them have a section within their lobby dedicated entirely to casino games by this provider. This is why they usually have a separate Vegas section for other games.
This software provider is best known for their Age of the Gods series. What started off as a Viking themed progressive jackpot slot has moved into table games such as roulette and even live casinos. We provide more information about Playtech and their games on our dedicated page.
Micrograming is a globally renowned software provider. Again, a major claim to fame has been their progressive jackpot slot, Mega Moolah. Currently it holds the record for the largest payout in history.
Other popular slots include Immortal Romance and Thunderstruck II. Aside from the classics, Microgaming has also delved into branded slot games like Game of Thrones.
The software provider is also big on table games. In fact, they have a special Gold Series for games like blackjack and roulette. We cover this all on our page about Microgaming.
NetEnt or Net Entertainment is probably one of the most widely available games studios online. Slots like Starburst are particularly big among SA players. In fact, it’s commonly associated with free spins bonuses.
The casino gaming software provider is also renowned for its progressive jackpot Mega Fortune. For a while, the slot held the record for the largest ever prize pool won.
NetEnt isn’t just a slots provider though, they have a wide array of table and video poker games. They’re also considered one of the top live dealer suppliers. But we’ll look into that in more detail later on.
Now that you have a better idea of the best casino software companies in South Africa, we’ll break this down even further. Below is a table showing the top providers by category.

Live casino games are a more recent addition to gaming sites. They have helped to bridge the gap between land-based and online casinos. This is exactly why we have seen a surge in the number of live dealer software providers.
Below you’ll find a table of some of the best live dealer software providers popular across South African online casinos.
| Live Dealer Software | Main Features | Where to Play |
![]() Evolution Gaming |

Above are some of the best casino software companies in South Africa. In most cases, game development is done in-house and you can expect a top-quality live casino experience that is feature-rich.
By now understanding which are the best casino games studios should be clear. The next step is to look into what actually makes them the best. We have listed the main features below.
The first thing you’ll notice about a top software company is the quality of their games. Graphics are realistic and, in some cases, particularly with branded titles, provide a movie-like experience. More recently, we are seeing state-of-the-art animations too.
Aside from that, another distinct advantage is the frequency of new games. Play’n GO, for instance, releases several slot games each month.
Ensuring that a software provider is secure is also a top priority but we that's something we look into in more detail later on.
Over the years we have seen huge developments in casino gaming software. This has led to the rise of different platforms. In this next section, we’ll take a closer look at some of the various types.
Many years back, many online casinos required players to download their platform before being able to play games. Software providers have slowly moved away from this. Nowadays, all casino games are instant play.
Any of the best casino software providers that we mentioned earlier on ensure that their games are available in web browser. As a player, it only takes finding the right casino, signing up and making a deposit.
Instant play casinos are hassle free and, in most cases, available on mobile too. That’s something we’ll take a look at in our next section.
If you’ve been playing at online casinos for a while now, then you may already be aware of this. As mobile gaming caught on, online casinos looked to "mobilize" their libraries accordingly.
The bigger issue came from the actual software providers. While they started ensuring that new releases were mobile-friendly, many older titles are still desktop-exclusive.
Top casino gaming providers had to revisit their old games and optimize them with an HTML5 platform. One example is Microgaming and the previously mentioned Immortal Romance.
Nowadays, most games are mobile-friendly. Whether you choose to play on the go or on desktop, you can expect a similarly sized games lobby.
While propriety casino software isn’t exactly a separate category, it does merit a mention. Some online casinos like 888 Casino, for instance, look to stand out from the crowd by offering in-house slots and table games.
In most cases, the graphics aren’t comparable to any of the top software providers. This is to be expected though considering that a company like 888 is operating on a much smaller scale. Plus producing games isn’t their top priority.
What sets proprietary games its exclusivity. Casino games aren’t widely available which makes you want to play them. You can check out our review of 888 Casino to find out more about their exclusive games.
Any casino gaming software company powering SA casinos must be licensed by the MGA.
Similarly to casinos, licence applicants must adhere to a strict set of criteria. What’s more, they are subject to monitoring. As a SA casino player, this should already reassure as it proves that games are fair with legitimate RNG.
Top software companies will are transparent, publicizing third-party audits by independent organizations such as eCogra and TST. Pragmatic Play, for instance, publish a Certificate of Integrity, audited by GamingLabs, on their main homepage.
