Red Tiger Gaming

Red Tiger Gaming, a subsidiary of Evolution Group, was founded in 2014 by a team of industry veterans and has grown from an ambitious startup into one of the most recognisable developers in the global iGaming market.

About

Origins and Ownership

Red Tiger was established by former executives and developers from top-tier gaming firms, with a strong focus on delivering slot games backed by robust mathematics, cutting-edge visuals, and advanced gamification layers. The company quickly gained a foothold across Europe and Asia, combining innovative mechanics with operational tools aimed at both players and operators.

In 2019, Red Tiger was acquired by Swedish giant NetEnt in a deal valued at £200 million. The following year, NetEnt itself was taken over by Evolution AB, placing Red Tiger under the same corporate umbrella as other premium brands like Big Time Gaming, Ezugi, and Nolimit City. Red Tiger continues to operate as an independent studio within the Evolution ecosystem, maintaining its distinct identity and development roadmap.

Game Portfolio

Red Tiger specialises in high-quality HTML5 slot games, known for their fast-paced gameplay, rich animation, and bonus-driven design. The studio’s portfolio includes more than 200 titles and is continually expanding. Notable games include Gonzo’s Quest™ Megaways™, Piggy Riches™ Megaways™, Primate King, Dynamite Riches, Rainbow Jackpots, Laser Fruit, 10,001 Nights.

In addition to slots, Red Tiger has released a selection of table games, including variations of blackjack and roulette, although these remain secondary to its core slot offering.

The studio is also known for reimagining legacy titles through Megaways™ licenses via fellow Evolution subsidiary Big Time Gaming.

Proprietary Tools and Features

Beyond game development, Red Tiger has played a leading role in gamification within online casinos. Key proprietary tools include:

  • Daily Drop Jackpots Network – a progressive jackpot system that guarantees daily and hourly winners across connected operators.

  • Smart Spins – a flexible promotional engine allowing casinos to segment users and deliver targeted bonus campaigns.

  • Tournaments – real-time slot competitions with live leaderboards, designed to increase engagement and retention.

These features have been widely adopted by operators seeking to differentiate their offering and boost user activity without over-reliance on traditional bonus structures.

B2B Partnerships and Distribution

Red Tiger’s success is built not only on the quality of its games, but also on its wide distribution network. Its content is integrated with leading operators such as: PokerStars, Paddy Power, Betsson Group, LeoVegas, Casumo, Rizk and Dunder.

The games are also available via major platform providers and aggregators, including EveryMatrix, SoftGamings, Relax Gaming, and iSoftBet. This ensures visibility across hundreds of online casino brands and a presence in virtually every major iGaming market.

Markets and Licensing

Red Tiger operates globally, with a strong presence in regulated markets across Europe and beyond. The company holds licenses from several tier-one jurisdictions including: UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, Government of Gibraltar.

Its games are certified in multiple additional markets, including Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and Switzerland, with ongoing expansion into Latin America and parts of Africa. Red Tiger’s multi-jurisdictional compliance infrastructure enables seamless integration for partners operating under strict regulatory frameworks.

Red Tiger’s operational base is located in St. Julian’s, Malta, with an additional hub on the Isle of Man. As part of Evolution Group, Red Tiger benefits from shared infrastructure in areas such as legal support, back-end systems, and global HR — allowing the studio to focus on innovation and scalability without the overhead of a standalone enterprise.
