Although the team behind casino games developer Northern Lights Gaming is quite small, they all have extensive experience in the business, having come from established companies such as Barcrest, Scientific Games and Williams Interactive. They set up shop in Stockholm and Manchester at the beginning of 2017 with the aim of creating the best high-end video slots to ever hit the online casinos market. It’s a bold statement, but their backgrounds suggest that they could well achieve it, although they certainly appear to be taking their time, as so far, they have only released a single game.

Instead of bringing out loads of new slots, they have been concentrating on getting licensing deals and partnerships with existing developers and have so far been approved to supply content to Yggdrasil and the SG Digital platform. They have also been granted an operating license by the UK Gambling Commission as well as an Alderney Gaming Core Services Associate certificate, meaning that their future releases will be available for players from the UK as well as those based in many other countries around Europe and beyond.

It’s been a logical approach, as Northern Lights Gaming have avoided the cost and expense of developing a whole range of slots without any confirmation that they would ever see the light of day. A demonstration game is the mining-themed Rocky’s Gold and they have used this to show clients and licensing authorities what the company is capable of. Rocky's Gold is now available to play alongside newer Northern Lights Gaming titles, such as the All Star Knockout Ultra Gamble slot machine.
