Software Developer: Betsoft Review
Introduction
Betsoft are a slot developer who’ve created over 120 fun, exciting, and big-win-potential ridden slots, and in this post, we’re going to look at the software provider in detail. We’ll cover some of their best games, to the massive progressive jackpots on offer, so make sure to read the post in full!
Betsoft are a software provider who’ll be recognizable to more US, and Canadian players than anywhere else – and this is because the game developers have chosen to focus on those markets, as opposed to, say, European ones.
They are still a pretty big name in the online gambling sphere, however (even for players outside of the US and Canada), and there’s a good chance you’ll recognizes a few of their more-popular slots from the name alone.
About Betsoft
Betsoft was founded in 1999 out of Cyprus (its main head office is still based in the Cyprian capital), and while the software provider has had quite a up and down journey, they’ve managed to overcome many obstacles they found in their way and have sculpted themselves into one of the more well-known game developers, particularly to US and Canadian players.
Betsoft’s slots are unique for a couple of reasons – but the most important, is the fact that they tend to render in a special type of 3D, which makes for an enjoyable, and different playing experience.
While Betsoft haven’t always been known for their creativity, since 2013, they’ve widened their game-range, and today, boast a collection of over 100 slots – with some of the most popular listed in the section below.
Betsoft’s Slots
Betsoft have a large selection of games, and their slots all are designed with exciting bonus features, and decent win-potential – it’s rare to see a game with less than 1,000X your stake maximum win.
Below, we’re going to look at some of the most popular slots that Betsoft have released:
Mad Scientist:
One of their more recent titles, “Mad Scientist” follows the life of a – unsurprisingly – mad scientist, and Betsoft have incorporated the much-loved randomly-triggered base-game featured into the game, with two different vials of potion able to land on the reels; each time you land one of the vials, you fill part of a metre – and when you fill the metre, you’ll be awarded a special bonus, which can pay up to 500X your stake. There’s also a free-spins round on offer for landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols.
2 Million BC:
2 Million BC is a prehistoric slot that takes you on a journey into the life of dinosaurs. Well… perhaps a more accurate analogy would be that you have to survive as herds of the now-extinct animal try to maul you to death… but if you do manage to escape near-certain mauling, there’s big prizes up for grabs, with 750X offered in the “Pick Me Bonus” round.
Under the Bed:
While the theme isn’t anything too spectacular, Under the Bed is a great example of how Betsoft can take a non-impressive theme, and make it work, with their 3D imagery, and exciting bonuses. There’s no less than three bonuses awaiting you in the game – all of which are triggered by landing different scatter symbols on the reels – and again, just like Mad Scientist, there’s 500X on offer in two of the bonuses, with a whopping 3,500X to be won in the main bonus feature!
Charms and Clovers:
No software provider would be complete without an Irish-themed slot (virtually every provider on the planet has at least one game set in the Emerald Isles), and Betsoft’s take is called “Charms and Clovers”. Benefiting from high-definition graphics, two exciting bonuses, and wins of up to 2,000X your stake, Charms and Clovers is fluid-to-play, and can be spun from just $0.10, making it an ideal game for the low-rollers.
Fa Fa Twins:
Fa Fa Twins is one of Betsoft’s biggest releases to date, and despite being relatively simplistic in nature, it catapulted the software provider into the public spotlight, thanks to many casinos choosing to feature the game for the two-week launch period. Sent in the Orient, Fa Fa Twins is a low-variance game, but don’t think there’s no win potential; match a 5-of-a-kind payline of either of the twin symbols to scoop a cool 250X your stake!
Progressive Slots
Betsoft are well-known for their progressive jackpot games – and a large amount of their slots do indeed feature jackpots, including both progressive, and localized ones.
Greedy Goblins is perhaps the software providers most popular jackpot game, and cheeky, irritating green goblins pepper the reels, with your goal to prevent them from stealing treasure, putting it into your pockets instead.
A whopping 4 bonuses can be found in the game, and there’s 3 different jackpots, paid for matching certain symbol-combinations within the bonus-round, so it’s not hard to see why it’s become one of the providers best games to date.
Sin City Nights is another jackpot game to keep an eye out for, with almost $230,000 up for grabs at the time of writing – and with new games being released every few weeks, you never have to wait long to enjoy something new from the provider.
Mobile Gaming
Betsoft’s games are mobile-optimized, ensuring you can enjoy them from either your desktop devices, or your mobile devices. Around 90% of the back catalogue has been converted to an HTML5 format to ensure mobile-functionality, and all the developer’s new games are mobile-friendly.
What’s great about their mobile slots, is that they’ve made everything simple; changing your bet size, setting up the autoplay, and having a read of the pay-table is all made easy and uncomplicated, thanks to a simple “swipe-to-view” setup, and it’s very rare for players to experience any lag, delay, or freezes while playing Betsoft’s mobile games.
Bitcoin-Ready
Betsoft were one of the first software providers to tweak their games to process Bitcoin as a payment method, and almost all of their titles can be played using Bitcoin – or mBtc as is actually the case.
The Bitcoin version of the game are identical to the USD/EUR/GBP variations, with bet-sizing and payouts all the same, and the only difference is the currency you see your balance, and wins displayed in.
Even more promising, is that Betsoft have undertaken one of the most rigorous security audits in online gambling history to ensure their Bitcoin slots are both safe, and fair, and using Blockchain technology, some of their games are provably fair, meaning you can see with your own eyes there’s no ‘funny business’ going on.
Final Verdict
Betsoft haven’t quite made it to the mainstream markets like NetEnt or Microgaming have, but for the markets they do serve, they lead in – and this includes American, Australian, Canadian, and Bitcoin-accepting casinos.
The game range offered by the provider is excellent, with creative variety found between all of their titles, and with a large number of their games built to offer progressive jackpots, there’s clear potential for big wins, even on the smaller-stake side of things.
If you’re new to Betsoft’s games, consider checking out one of the slots we talked about earlier – Mad Scientist is one of our favourite, and with regular bonuses, you won’t have to wait long to see the action. Which colour-vial will YOU fill first?
