Casino Game Providers: Who Makes the Games?
Casino game providers (also called software developers or studios) are the companies that create and supply the games you play at online casinos. The casino itself doesn't usually make the games — it licenses them from providers. Understanding who makes which games helps you find the style and quality you prefer.
