A game provider is a company responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining online casino games. They create a variety of games, including slots, table games, and live dealer games. Notable providers include IGT, Microgaming, and Pragmatic Play or Phoenix Flames Studio.

Game providers are responsible for:

• Developing high-quality games compatible with desktop and mobile platforms.
• Ensuring fair play by implementing certified RNG (Random Number Generator) technology.
• Regularly updating and maintaining their games to provide seamless gameplay experiences.

RNG, or Random Number Generator, is a technology used by game providers to ensure the randomness of game outcomes. It ensures fair play by generating random results for each spin, hand, or roll in a game.

Game providers are licensed and regulated by authorities such as the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). These licenses ensure the provider adheres to strict standards of fairness, security, and transparency.

RTP stands for Return to Player, which represents the percentage of wagered money a slot machine pays back to players over time. For example, a slot with 96% RTP will return $96 for every $100 wagered on average.

Volatility measures the risk level of a slot game:

• High volatility: Bigger but less frequent wins.
• Low volatility: Smaller but more frequent wins.

Players should choose a volatility level that matches their gameplay preferences and bankroll.
