GamingSoft

About the Company

GamingSoft is an online casino software developer located in Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a privately held company with additional offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia. The company's website states that they are licensed by First Cagayan Leisure and Resort Corporation (FCLRC) of the Philippines. The company's games are mostly found at casinos facing the Asian markets such as Euwin, All8bet, and Boss Room among many others.

Products offered include a complete casino solution with up to 5,000 games available. Clients can pick and choose any number of games, as well as integrate and disintegrate individual titles without causing any interruption in services.

The company works with partners across every gaming vertical to ensure business customer's clients have access to the best providers and games. Among their sports betting partners are SBTech, WinningFT, and Opus Gaming with over 10,000 live events available every month.

Live casino options are even more plentiful with over 20 studios, including Microgaming available. The company lists Playtech, XPG, and Lotus Gaming among the choices for live dealer streams.

The company offers over 5,000 slots and games from their own catalog as well as titles from Playtech, Betsoft, GamesOS, Microgaming, NetEnt, GG Gaming, Inteplay, and Spadegaming. While the company speaks of integrating some of the top poker networks into its module, they do not name the networks.

Additional betting opportunities include keno and lotto games, financials and binary options, virtual sports, and live cockfighting through CockFT.

Software and Games

In addition to white label casino solutions, a back office Cash Market Module (CMM), and aggregation of thousands of games from top suppliers, the company also has their own games. The website displays nearly 40 slots and a few arcade titles which are available for instant play or on Android or iOS.

Their slots feature a variety of themes, math models, and mechanics so they should appeal to a wide audience. Some of the artwork is intricate while some is rudimentary. Win animations are well executed and win celebrations are meaningful. A win can be collected to stop the celebration, so players are not held hostage to their good fortune. Soundtracks not only match the themes but game sounds are relevant to the screen action at the time. Most games feature several jackpots. The paytables are well written, comprehensive, and nicely illustrated. The games we tested used dynamic paytables which changed incrementally with the amount bet.

The Majestic Taj is one of the games we tested. It is an extremely colorful Asian-themed 5-reel, 3-position video slot with 243 ways to win rather than traditional pay lines. The top four paying symbols each had a gold-hued identical symbol worth much more than the standard colored icon depicting the same person or animal. The scatter symbols are very well rendered and animated jewelry with glistening gems. Scatters trigger and retrigger a free spins feature.

The jackpot symbol is different for different games, but most work the same in practice. Once a player lands three jackpot symbols they are presented with a wheel to spin. The total amount bet determines the amount of the progressive jackpot that is awarded for the perfect spin.

Sparta's Legacy is a game with more advanced features with "unpredictable battle formations" dropping symbols into single spaces or with full reel group formations for big wins.

The Lost Gems is a simple and fun 3-reel game with 27 ways to win, an Egyptian theme, wild and bonus symbols, and scatters for free spins, and high paying mega-symbols covering more than one position packing a lot of action into such a seemingly simple game.

The Final Analysis

GamingSoft is a solution and game provider that most people in the west will never have a chance to explore. Malaysian and other players in the Asian markets are already familiar with them.

We were a little disappointed in the lack of company details and clarity of ownership. However, that is often just be the nature of privately-held gambling-related businesses.

The company website lists several authorities in addition to First Cagayan via logos on the bottom of the page that cannot be clicked on to confirm. They may or may not be iTech Labs certified; belong to the European Gaming & Betting Association; be GamCare certified; licensed by the long ago-renamed Lotteries & Gaming Authority Malta, or be members of eCOGRA. We were unable to confirm any of those implied assertions independently.
