Super Spade Games

About the Company

Super Spade Games is a UK-headquartered live casino game provider with headquarters in Great Bookham, Surrey, England.

The B2B (business to business) company, founded in 2016, is privately held and employs over 50 people in the iGaming space.

The solution is Gaming Labs International certified (GLI 2019) which brings them in compliance with testing and certification standards in nearly 500 jurisdictions worldwide. The provider relies on operators to license the real money gameplay, having already met the standards of the world's most stringent regulators. Many of the operators carrying the games are bitcoin casinos, or at least accept BTC and other digital currencies.

While based in the UK, the company's new studio is located elsewhere in Europe with games streaming from Belarus.

Many of the provider's croupiers and dealers appear to be of Eastern European descent. Several of the known, self-professed operatives seem to hale from India with educations and residences in the US, England, and the CIS, among other areas.

While we don't find studios, labs, servers, or staffed support personnel such as a help center in England, we do find a registered address also in use by over 200 other companies. This is not uncommon in the online gambling industry, as the vast majority of business entities are privately held companies with no reason to advertise their ownership or management to the general public. We do find promises of transparency when operators do business with this B2B-only provider.

The company's focus is on the Asian, European, and South American markets. In addition to classic and common casino games, the company offers the only live-streaming games of Andar-Bahar and Teen Patti from the EU - either for the Indian market in-country or fans of the games in the diaspora.

Strategic partnerships to date include Chippy, We Are Casino, Groove Gaming, Nektan, and Solid Gaming with more in the works and on the horizon.

The list is sure to grow considering the company's increased participation in leading industry trade shows and conventions. It is not uncommon for an up and coming provider's footprint to simply skyrocket after shaking hands, forming new alliances, and making deals at important industry events.

Software and Games

Live dealer providers were the first to take full advantage of the 'light load' qualities of HTML5 game deployment. They needed a way to stream live casino games to players on any platform without the need for resource-intensive programs or plug-ins. So it comes as no surprise that SuperSpade Games delivers all of their content ready for play on any web browser.

Browser play is optimized for gaming on any high definition device with acceptable displays ranging from antiquated cathode ray tubes to large wall screens. In early 2020 they released a new interactive mobile interface in HTML5. The deployment scales and orients perfectly for any size or type of mobile device, especially smartphones and tablets.

Casino War

This iteration of a childhood game that has been repurposed for real money gambling uses six decks. The cards are ranked the same as they are in "American" poker with the exception that Ace can never be low (1). The suit of the cards does not come into play in this easy to learn game where you simply want your card to be higher than the dealer's card.

Dragon Tiger

Another super-easy game, the dealer will deliver two cards per round - one to the dragon spot and one to the tiger. Simply choose which one you think will receive the highest card to win.

Three Card Poker

This is a house-banked poker game played between player and dealer.

The Final Analysis

Competition in the live dealer gaming sphere is always welcomed by players. The ease of playing most of these games (blackjack the only strategic exception) means that the games will appeal to a wide audience.

Easily recognizable traditional games such as Indian Flush (Teenpatti) as well as Andar Bahar (in/out) should attract Indian players and those looking to expand their horizons without the need to learn optimal strategies.

The MultiTable component may appeal to all players, especially those who enjoy continuous action.
