Top iGaming providers in 2026: six studios most lobbies are built on

A casino lobby is a portfolio. A few suppliers cover most of what players ask for, and the rest give a brand its character. These six studios each fill a different part of the lobby, from live game shows to land-based cabinet classics. All of them are in the IGP catalogue.

The short version

  • Pragmatic Play: the widest range, eight verticals in one supplier.
  • Evolution: the live casino leader and owner of NetEnt, Red Tiger and Big Time Gaming.
  • Play’n GO: Book of Dead and the grid slot, regulated markets only.
  • Hacksaw Gaming: high-volatility slots plus scratchcards and crash.
  • Betsoft and Amatic: classic slot depth for long-tail lobbies.

1. Pragmatic Play

Headquartered in Gibraltar, Pragmatic Play supplies slots, live casino, bingo, crash, arcade, RNG table games and virtual sport, with content in 33 languages and licences or certifications in 30+ jurisdictions. Its Drops & Wins network promotion is one most operators run by default. One supplier can fill most of a lobby, which is why Pragmatic appears in nearly every aggregator catalogue.

2. Evolution

Founded in 2006 and listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Evolution ran around 2,000 live tables across 24 studios at the end of 2025 and served more than 770 operators. It created the live game-show category with Dream Catcher in 2017 and owns NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, Nolimit City and Ezugi. For live content, see our live casino API.

3. Play’n GO

Founded in 2005 in Växjö, Sweden, Play’n GO has around 400 titles and direct licences in more than 30 jurisdictions. Book of Dead (2016) made its name, and Energoonz (2013) started the grid-slot line that led to Reactoonz. It supplies regulated markets only.

4. Hacksaw Gaming

Malta-based Hacksaw makes high-volatility slots, scratchcards, instant-win and crash games, with 250+ games for 35+ regulated markets and 3,000+ operator brands. Its scratchcard and instant-win line fills a part of the lobby that slots cannot, and it publishes the licence numbers it holds.

5. Betsoft

Betsoft says it was founded in 2006 and has more than 200 RNG games across slots, table games and video poker; the IGP catalogue lists 194 Betsoft titles. Recent releases lean on Hold and Win bonus rounds and bonus-buy options, and the studio regularly returns to older series with sequels.

6. Amatic

Amatic Industries was founded in 1993 in Upper Austria and is a land-based manufacturer first. Its roughly 250 online slots are largely conversions of its own cabinet games, which gives them a distinct style: simple features, frequent base-game hits and a gamble ladder after wins. It is strongest in Central and Eastern Europe and Spain.

How to use this list

No single studio fills a lobby. A practical mix pairs a broad supplier (Pragmatic Play), a live specialist (Evolution), a brand-led slot studio (Play’n GO), a high-volatility specialist (Hacksaw) and depth from classic catalogues (Betsoft, Amatic). The full list of studios is on our casino game providers page, and the most-played ones are ranked in our top 10 casino game providers.
