Barcrest is an online casino provider with a rich history. The company started long before anyone could think about gambling on the Internet. Since then, the developer has been a subsidiary of IGT first, and then became the property of Scientific Games Corporation.
In 1968, when Barcrest was first created, there were only 2 people on the staff, now it is a large, successful studio with a staff of 200 people. It is also part of an even larger player in the gambling market, which opens up more opportunities.
During its long history in land-based casinos, the developer has distinguished himself more than once by inventing and bringing something new. It is believed that the presence of bonuses in slot machines is their merit. Until a certain point, it was mostly a local company focused on the local market, that is, the UK, where it is based. However, having become a part of IGT in 1998, the developer has gone global and today delivers its games all over the world.
At online casinos, Barcrest is popular, but only in a limited area. Most of the operators using their software are located in the UK and there are several other European countries whose operators offer their games. In casinos focused on Russia, they are extremely rare.
Their most famous slot is Rainbow Riches, which they released back in 2006. It quickly turned into a hit and is even called one of the most popular slots of all time. Initially, it was released for land-based casinos, but over time, a version for online establishments appeared.
Other popular Barcrest slots are Monty's Millions and Ooh-Aah-Dracula. These are all fairly old releases. But this does not mean that the company has lost ground and stopped developing and releasing games. In May 2019, Scientific Games bought a license to produce MegaWays slot machines, and Barcrest got the opportunity to create games with the mechanics that are popular today. As a result, their famous Rainbow Riches slot appeared in the Megaways version. Collapse
