Apollo Games

About the Company

Apollo Games is the market facing brand name of Apollo Soft. The company was founded in Prague, the Czech Republic in early 2007. The firm spent several years developing and deploying games and cabinets such as the premium Hurricane series of metallic kiosks, the steel framed Orcane series with diffusion LED lighting, Thunder, Neos and others before setting sights on the online markets.

The company has capitalized on its considerable experience in developing slot games for the VLT (video lottery terminal) markets. Apollo has created an HTML5 division that brings the same gaming excitement through interesting themes, maths, and experiences to almost any device, anywhere. HTML5 build and deployment is device agnostic and the games play as well on Mac, PC, tablets, Windows Phones, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. The markup language allows the same game that looks stunning on a smartphone to automatically scale up in size for a large screen high definition monitor without losing any of the nuances, features, or sharpness seen on any other device.

With thousands of machines in operation in key European and African markets, as well as Asia and the Americas, most of the management and development still occurs in Prague and other Czech cities. The company also has agents, engineers, and developers in Serbia and Montenegro, the Netherlands, India, Romania, and Canada.

Apollo has been noticed at several important industry trade shows and events including Juegos Miami. The company debuted their online casino platform for HTML5 games at ICE Totally Gaming in London in 2017 and received RNG (random number generator) certification from GLI a few months later for several of their HTML5 titles. At ICE 2018 they showed off their improved platform, sports betting solutions, and their latest online gaming content. Unique slots such as Blood, Turbo Slots, Slot Birds and others can now be found on the BetConstruct casino system thanks to a deal the two companies announced in late March 2018.

Software and Games

Before developing games for online play the company created a platform delivery system. The games are available in several languages and for play in multiple currencies. While mundane graphics may be suitable for some VLT games, the competition among online developers is fierce and players demand cutting-edge graphic design. All new games are built in HTML5 to meet this challenge, yet retain the sophisticated game logic and immersive features of the company's land terminal games.

Games such as Pandora and Gangster World are perfectly suited for mobile and desktop play. Of course, players will find multiple features in any given game like cascading reels, random wilds, sticky free spins, re-spins, multipliers, a sticky bonus and a bonus game with a 50:50 draw chance to double winnings. They'll also find rich themes and narratives, 3D modeled figures, and rock solid sound effects. The games are designed to be captivating and entertaining.

The Final Analysis

We see many land-linked developers expanding their footprint by converting successful cabinet games for online play as well as creating new games for all devices from scratch as the industry matures in regulated jurisdictions. Not all of them focus on quality over quantity, but Apollo Games notes in their literature that high definition graphics are a recent development and all of their new games for online play will be developed in HTML5. We take that as a good sign that new titles will continue to be as impressive as the games they currently have available on their platform.
