This company are based out of Minsk, Belorussia – and are active in many areas of gambling including social poker, casino gaming and of course slots. When they started is kind of skirted around on their website, though this was before 2007, as that is when they joined one of the biggest technology groups in their native country.

Many Viaden video slots are excellent, with up to date features which often include multiple break out bonus games. These range from very simple 3-reel slots like Coffee Time, though to innovative titles with animated sequences (Football Cup is an excellent example of this). One of their slots is a confusing theme about a little known Russian spy in New York. After you find out that the creators are from ‘White Russia’ the creation of ‘Catch Anna Chapman’ begins to make more sense.

Innovations from Viaden Software

Having played more than 20 of their titles, I cannot think of anything found in Viaden slots which is not already covered by Igrosoft slots, or Skill Games slots, or those from many other sources. There are some decent bonus games (the Football Cup penalty shootout is excellent), and some unique themes (Jour l’Amour with the cats in Paris comes to mind). Some of the graphics are excellent too, with transparent reels. You can see this in action in the Viking Conquest slot.

Being a modern software house, Viaden has focused on browser and mobile compatible slot games – skipping the legacy download games altogether.

Empire’s Glory – the gladiator slot – contains an innovative wild symbol. This is called ‘Wild Around’ and will turn every adjacent symbol wild (up to 3 reels if it lands in the middle row of reels 2, 3 or 4). This can create a lot of winning combinations seemingly from nowhere, always a good thing while you are enjoying a slot.
