Who makes online slots?

Slot providers are studios that make the games online casinos offer, while the casino runs your account and payments. In licensed states, the provider also needs approval. New Jersey approved Games Global USA's internet gaming business in January 2025 subject to approval of each product submission. Some providers belong to larger groups, such as NetEnt within Evolution.

What does a slot provider do?

A slot provider designs the game, sets its maths and return to player options, and supplies it to casinos. The casino decides which games to list and runs your account, deposits and withdrawals. If a payout goes wrong, your complaint is with the casino. See how to complain.

How are slot providers licensed?

Each state licenses suppliers itself. In New Jersey, Games Global USA is an applicant for casino service industry enterprise licensure, and the Division approved its business with named casinos subject to approval of each product. Play'n GO entered New Jersey under a waiver in 2022, and Hacksaw Gaming received a provisional licence there in 2023.
