SA Gaming

SA Gaming is a Manila-based online gaming developer and provider founded in 2009. While not as well known in the Western world, the company's games and live dealer studios are well distributed over Asian-facing online casino sites and well received by end users.

Their studios and labs are located in the Makati City area of Manila, Philippines and the company is licensed by the local authority. First Cagayan of the Philippines recognizes the company which bears the official PAGCOR seal on its web pages.

SA Gaming products are certified by the independent regulatory body GLI and BMM test labs and the company was recognized as the 'Best Online Casino Solution' at the 2017 Asia Gaming Awards.

The company's five main business areas are:

• Live Games
• Slot Games
• Multiplayer Games
• Proxy Betting
• HTML5 Mobile

We find their slots and/or live games in over 75 online casinos including Lord of the Spins, Split Aces, and the penultimate Asian gaming site, Dafabet.

Software and Games

The company best known for their live dealer streams with other verticles rising in certain market segments. The slots are becoming more well known due to their unique western and eastern themes, artwork, and bonus mechanics. Their land-based gambling solutions for "proxy betting" are used by some of the top online VIP baccarat rooms in Asia.

Live Games

All live games are delivered using the latest sleek technology, HTML5 for smooth streaming and seamless transitions from game to game.

The live games suite includes standard and enhanced betting versions of baccarat, dragon tiger, sic bo, fan tan, blackjack, and roulette. Gameplay features include real-time game stats, multi-bet, and side-bet functionality.

Unlike most live gaming providers, it is possible to try out the product in real-time, online, without placing real money bets. When choosing between "Standard version" and "Premium version" select the former to play in Flash (plug-in or permissions may be required) or choose Premium to play in any browser on any device or operating system right in your browser.

Baccarat is dealt from an 8-deck shoe and offers 10 main roadmaps. Players can stake their hands on up to 16 tables at once. Non-commission and speed versions are also available.

Roulette is single zero and offers racetrack betting, hot and cold points, full statistics, and histories in an uncluttered interface with games that move along nicely.

Blackjack offers one on one private table action and side bets.

Slot Games

In addition to a variety of mostly Asian-themed games featuring high-quality artwork, animations, and soundtracks, SA Gaming brings their sophisticated game maths and engines to another level with a series of "Hot Model" slots.

The main icons in these games are attractive models, in bikinis in the case of Valley Beauties, rather than artistically rendered images. The lower paying symbols are also photo-realistic and always in line with the game's theme. Feature symbols can be a mixture in some cases.

There is plenty of variety for those who prefer to only excite their gambling senses rather than play with Beckoning Girls, Angels & Demons, or Zombie Hunters with scantily clad body parts filling some reel positions rather than faces or full figures.

Shanghai Godfather is set in the 1930's with a mixed motif of American gangsters with Tommy-guns and a femme fatale holding a derringer. 

The game was built and is delivered on the HTML5 framework in order to make it available to any type of device a player chooses to use.

Game mechanics include free spins triggered by scatters. The game also has a new feature which will likely make its way into more games from the developer. Mysterious Wilds can be triggered in the base game and during the free spins.

One of three additional types of wilds are awarded including Extra Wild, Extra Reel Wild, or Bomb Wild.

Cheung Po Tsai is based on the pirate of lore's adventures in the late 17 and early 1800s. Look for treasure chests, stacked symbols wilds, and multipliers as you accompany the folk hero to victory in the Battle of the Tiger's Mouth.

Fantasy Goddess is an animated game with a return to salaciousness and Asian beauties.

Saint of Mahjong offers three progressive jackpots. Saint of Mahjong offers three progressive jackpots. The game theme includes four skilled mahjong players who are pursuing the honor of Saint of Mahjong. Players try to collect all 144 tiles through features in the slot game to gain the mantle.

Multi-player Games

The company's flagship arena-type game for mobile and desktop users is Fisherman's Gold. The game is easy to play and presents participants with the challenge of developing in-depth strategies.

Underwater cannons and 'bullets' are used to catch a variety of fish, each with their own value. Raise the cannon multiplier to improve your weapons to get multipliers up to 10x. Catch bigger fish to win more and be on the hunt for legendary creatures of the sea.

The game also features "Auto-Fishing + Multi-Lock On". Go to the paytable and click on the types of fish you want to target and the cannon will only fire at those, ignoring other types of fish.

Proxy Betting

SA Gaming offers land casinos an opportunity to stream their table action live in HD video. Players will see the real table action and be able to bet on games from a distance. Some forms of true proxy betting are not allowed in certain jurisdictions, so don't expect to be able to instruct a proxy at Macau table to bet for you remotely.

Roadmaps for baccarat are provided onscreen whether players choose to bet from their laptop, desktop, or mobile devices.

HTML5 Mobile

SA Gaming is continually incorporating the latest technology into their products. HTML5 affords users on any Android or iOS device like an iPhone or iPad the same flexibility desktop users enjoy without the need to install software or apps.

Instant transitions from game to game, seamless player-choice of orientation when switching from portrait to landscape and back and access to all gaming categories without installing anything are some of the highlights of the tech.

Games available on any device over the framework include Live Baccarat, Sic Bo, Dragon Tiger, Fan Tan, Roulette & Blackjack with roadmaps where applicable - RNG table games, slots, and multiplayer games.

All games are available from the developer in multiple languages as well as multiple currencies.
