Beast Gaming Ltd.

Update: When checking their website recently (2 September 2019) its leads to a broken page. We suspect this sofwtare company has closed.

Beast Gaming Ltd. is an Alderney based and licensed casino software developer and provider. They were established in 2009 and their eGaming license was issued by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Beast Gaming offers a complete proprietary end to end solution including marketing and back-end management tools. Their games portfolio consists of about 50 casino games including around 30 slots games. In addition to no download, Flash-based casino games, they also offer unique browser-based Live bingo that streams live presenters and games. Some of the venues running their games that players may be familiar with are Shootjack Casino, BingoHour.com, and My Sportsbook.com. The games integrate well with other providers so it is not uncommon to see the Beast games mixed in with games and services of other providers. In 2010, they formed a partnership with Baddamedia which has since become moot with Paddy Power's acquisition of Baddamedia.

Software

Beast Gaming's management system can be used for delivery of games over the Internet, mobile devices, and interactive television. All games can be delivered over the same media. Most casinos using Beast gaming products that load directly into a browser and can be played in real or practice mode. A registered account is usually not needed to play the games for fun. Clicking on an icon of a game brings up a small browser while the casino remains in the background. All games become available from the new browser as well as help files and pay tables. Games load in a matter of seconds on the first experience and are then available immediately after the graphics have been cached. User controls on slots include buttons for raising and lowering coin denominations, an autoplay function with preset options for the number of spins, buttons to cycle through lines bet and bet per line, a Max Bet button and a Spin button. Displays include bet amount, amount won from the last spin, comp points accumulated, total casino balance and a Game ID number that can be referenced in case of any questions.

Games

Slot games include 3-reel classic and multiline games, 8-line scatter pay slots, 9, 20, and 25 line video slots with a variety of features including hidden wilds, stacked wilds, free spins and multi-bonus game, as well as a small selection of progressive slots. Blackjack comes in two varieties with a VIP option for each. Table games include roulette, craps, baccarat, several varieties of RNG table poker, and soft games like casino war and red dog. Video poker comes with 4 paytable variants ranging from Jacks or Better to Double Barrel Bonus Poker. Each variant can be played with 1, 3, 5, 10, or 50 hand layouts. The Jacks or Better pay table is unique and should be considered a high variance game with a 6/4 return on Full House and Flush and Royal Flush payouts of 1500:1 regardless of the number of coins staked. Beast Gaming also provides two Keno variants.

Conclusion

Not enough information is currently available to form a finite opinion on Beast Gaming as a provider. The games are decent and the software delivers without a hiccup. About 10 casinos, sports books, and bingo venues are using the software; some exclusively and others with additional provider's platforms and games. As for security, we don't find a TST certificate or Certified Fair Gaming seal at any of the properties as it relates to Beast Gaming. The company website is a single page showing 3 venues where the games are available, but no contact information or telephone number. They do provide an email contact link. We would like to see more transparency, RNG, and software certification, the ability to talk to representatives on the phone, as well as a more proven track record before we could recommend Beast gaming without reservation.
