Apparat Gaming

Company Overview

There are some pretty big German companies in the world of casino gaming, but most of them are part of the old guard, originally established for land-based casinos. Apparat Gaming is a change to such order of things, having started in 2020 with an aim to bring that familiar German quality into online casinos.

The staff has plenty of experience in both the classics and online gaming, which explains why the company has had a running start. They have managed to push out a sizable catalogue of games in just a handful of years. At the same time they have secured a Malta gaming licence, and partnered up with some of the biggest online casino platforms.

Let’s see what makes this the favourite slots maker for you, or if they fall short of their promises of quality.

Online Slots

So far, and this is several years in the business, the company has produced nothing else except online slots. It doesn’t seem likely that this will change in the short or the long term. In fact, they only seem to have warmed up and are fast increasing the pace of new releases. The company has also amassed quite a following in German online casinos, though the slots are likewise gaining popularity across the world.

Some slots to get started with:

• 40 Sevens

One of the most popular games from the company, and a game that is clearly inspired by classic slots. Contrary to the common trend, this game offers comparatively smaller wins together with low variance. Main feature comes in the form of bonus spins.

• Pharaoh Princess

Ancient Egypt is perhaps one of the most popular themes when it comes to online slots. This game comes with the Buy Feature, which allows you to skip your way into the bonus spins straight away. These come with a special expanding symbol. Like the above slot, the variance is low and the maximum wins even more conservative.

• 5 Moon Wolf

Well, if we are talking about classics and popular themes, we have to also account for Wolfs. For whatever reason, they are one of the most popular animals when it comes to slots. This game offers medium variance, and also raises the top wins into thousands. It also uses the Hold & Spin feature together with fixed jackpots.

• Fruits First

Another classic theme, and it’s becoming pretty apparent that Apparat Gaming isn’t all about abandoning those land-based gaming roots that define German casino gaming. A rather simple five reel slots with five paylines, but top wins that are up to five thousand times the bet. No need for bonus features, just good old paytable action.

• Total Eclipse

If you thought this company is all about low variance, think again! High variance and top win that goes into tens of thousands make this slot notice-worthy. Instead of bonus spins you get special Eclipse Respins, which is your way to the top win should all the symbols fall on right positions.

• Plenty Pumpkins

Pumpkins are the most precious symbol in this slot, with familiar fruits taking the other positions. A rather standard five reel slot, though it does have four symbols per reel and up to 40 paylines. Spooky Spins are triggered by having four identical symbols on the first reel, as opposed to the traditional scatters. This features both sticky symbols and sticky wilds.

• King of the Vikings

Another historical theme, this time going north instead of south. The slot comes with high variance, as stakes are always high when dealing with Vikings. This game has ten paylines across five reels, and offers bonus spins with sticky wilds.

• The Griffin - Guardian of the Hidden Treasure

Bit of a mouthful that title, isn’t it? This slot welcomes you to the world of fantasy, where you will be met with mythical creatures and their mythical treasures. If you’re into high variance, you’ll be glad to know that the main pot here is almost ten thousand times the bet. Upgradeable wild symbols stay sticky during bonus spins. And of course there are some multipliers to score even bigger wins.

• Finest Fruits

This is about as classic as it gets, from the legendary fruits to ten paylines and five reels. You also get your hands on high variance and top win of up to five thousand times your bet. No special features here to muddy the waters, just traditional fun on the reels.

• The Warlock’s Book

Here the theme changes away from fruits, and into another classic setup, which is the Book. The central feature are once again bonus spins, during which expanding symbols can stretch across the reels for extra wins. The wild is likewise expanding, and also dishes out more bonus spins.

Common Characteristics

If you read through the above it’s entirely clear that these games lean heavily towards the classic, standard, or default settings of slots. Whatever you want to call it. There are plenty of fruits, and when we aren’t dealing with those as symbols we are met with themes that are likewise common, both online and in the land-based industry.

However, these games also break conventions in several ways. Low variance and low wins are present in several of these games, which is something that most slot makers are not concentrating in. But to balance this, Apparat Gaming has also come up with a string of slots where the stakes are much higher.

Superb Graphics and Mobile Support

Whilst that old school type of casino gaming, especially in slots, generally tends to come with somewhat backwards graphics and sound effects, the case is entirely different here. These games are as smooth as can be, and those fruits really look delicious and shiny on the reels. And whilst the sound effects don’t necessarily compete with musical slots, they do add a lot more than the usual clinking sounds found in these games.

And to top it all off, everything is not only supported in mobile devices but most are planned around them. Excellent interface that supports touch screens in the best possible way. And of course, to prove that the games are really modern despite the themes, these slots not only support most currencies but they also support the use of cryptocurrencies.

Now Featuring Bonus Spins

It’s quite rare to run into features that are not in one way or another based on bonus spins. There are a handful of games that use jackpots, reel modifiers, pick me specials, or some other special feature, but in most cases the central feature in all slots is built around the bonus spins.

Certified, Licensed and Partnered

How does a software producer get their games to players? There are essentially two ways: building your own platform and offering it to casinos, or integrating them to another company's platform.

We’ve come a long way since the first method was the most popular one. In fact, many of these companies have grown to become universal platforms that smaller developers use to distribute their games. Think of Microgaming and its Quickfire platform, now part of Games Global.

Building your own platform, with all the tools included, as well as all the necessary licences, is a time and resource consuming process. It’s no wonder that a fresh, and smaller company, like Apparat Gaming has gone with the simple option of adding their games to the most popular platforms. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have their licences and certificates. Malta Gaming Authority licence guarantees that their games can be played in almost all European countries, and further testing has been done by iTech labs to provide certificates for different markets.

But the main reason these slots are available worldwide is the fact that the company has forged relationships with some of the biggest platforms out there: Relax Gaming, Pariplay, EveryMatrix, United Remote, GiG, SoftSwiss, Slotegrator, and others. Not only does this mean that you can get your hands on these games almost anywhere, but they also enjoy from bonus options like bonus spins, bonus cash, and slot tournaments.

Interpretation

A fan of classic games but wish you could enjoy them in a more modern quality? Prefer to play low variance games but would sometimes also like to compete for the bigger pots? Well, these games are definitely for you.

Apparat Gaming has made good of their promise to make German quality known in the world of online slots. And they are just getting started! These slots are already popular in neighbourgin countries like Finland, Sweden, Poland, Austria, and so forth. It’s only a matter of time until they make their way to your favourite online casino too!
